6''The Clover County Chronicles'' (formerly known as ''The Pine Valley Chronicles'') is a BlackComedy Machinomic made using ''VideoGame/TheSims2''. It started in 2010 on Website/LiveJournal by the user Gruglysims and is currently ongoing. It is a legacy-style story which chronicles the lives of the inhabitants of the seemingly peaceful mountain community of Pine Valley. Originally, the story focused on the six founders of the town, but has since expanded to include a large cast of characters. Since the work is meant to be comedy, most of the tropes will be PlayedForLaughs.
