| [1.1] Choosing Your Neighborhood                                            |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

There are three pre-built neighborhoods that you can choose to move to right
away.  They are Pleasantview, Strangetown and Veronaville, and each area has
it's own special story.  All neighborhood descriptions are taken from in-game.

Pleasantview

"A lot has happened in 25 years!  Mortimer Goth made his fortune, the Pleasants
put down roots, and a new generation of Sims was born.  But the peaceful, happy
existence is in jeopardy when some new arrivals to Pleasantview start stirring
up trouble, creating rivalries and tensions for all the families in the
neighborhood.  Can anything be done to restore the peace to sleepy, idyllic
Pleasantview?

Cassandra is ready to start a family of her own, but can she tame the town
Cassanova?  And can Mortimer bounce back after the disappearance of his wife
Bella?

Was it just coincidence that the Caliente sisters arrived on the even of
Bella's disappearance?  And is there interest in Mortimer physical... or
fiscal?

Who is Don Lothario?  Is his engagement to Cassandra Goth genuine?  And what
about the rumor that her mother, Bella, was last seen scaling the deck of his
condo?

Brandi was left to raise two boys alone following her husband's suspicious pool
ladder accident.  With Dustin acting out, can Brandi teach young Beau to make
the right choices in life?

On the surface, Daniel and Mary-Sue Pleasant seem to have the perfect life, but
is their love a flimsy facade?  And can Angela and Lilith make the right
choices when it comes to love?

Darren is pursuing his dream of being an artist, while his song Dirk hits the
books.  And Darren may have found his muse, but will his creativity be enough
to win Cassandra's affection?"

"An aspiration for knowledge has attracted a diversity of truth-seekers to this

are the reports of a Bella Goth sighting fact or fiction?  In Strangetown,
nothing is what it seems.

In search of truth and mystery, the three Curious brothers, Pascal, Vidcund and
Lazio, got more than they were "expecting."  Can they cope with their new roles
