Employment in Pleasantview V2

Today there are lists. There are two main drivers for community/career lots for PV2
1. Lots needed for the residents (e.g. shops, bars, etc)
2. Lots needed for the jobs (e.g. Schools, Hospitals, etc)

Some of these fall under both 1 and 2. At the moment I'm only considering EA careers. In a later post I will consider Custom careers (mostly from Pru).

Using Interests to give more personality - Mary Sue Pleasant as Test Case.

So I have this theory (for I love maths and science - I am a nerd), that for any interest the scores can give more meaning than just a number. Interests in SimPE are a number between 0 and 1000. Ahem, so this is my theory:

Interest = 0 is Hates the interest with passion.
0> Interest <500 - Not interested,
Interest = 500  is neither here not there, 
500> Interest <1000 Interested
Interest = 1000 - is passionate about that interest.

So what does this mean for a sim? Well I want to use it to help shape their world views, and use it as another part to round out their interactions and personalities. So lets take Mary-Sue Pleasant as an example:

Collecting Inspiration photos for Community Lots

Got some pictures from the interwebs, since I never got pictures of these last time I was in Dublin. (Although next time I am definitely taking pictures).
 
This is Grafton Street in Dublin.

Pleasantview Hood - Lot Deco - Signs

I'm still alive, and I'm still working on this!

Pleasantview itself needs a makeover. It's fairly horrible design-wise.
