Ok, when you play The Sims 2 ((since that has different neighborhood landscapes and terrains)), do you play the default neighborhoods ((Pleasantview, Strangeville, Veronaville)) or do you create your own neighborhood?

How many custom neighborhoods do you create?



For me, yes, I create custom neighborhoods. I've only created one, and I named it "Old Town". Sound familiar? Well, that's because the neighborhood terrain I used looks similar to that of the Sims 1 neighborhood, minus a couple things, such as the river and hills.

See, I've grown so attached to The Sims 1 neighborhood and my sims that I had simply HAD to have them in the 2nd version.

I only use the default neighborhoods if I want to experiment with things.


What about you?

The above.

I always play in Pleasantview.

Always.

I've started branching off into its downtown and shopping district because it's full. xd

I can't get any expansion packs because they'll interfere with the thousands of custom content I have.

I do play the normal neighbourhoods, sometimes. But I have 2 custom neighbourhoods, Arbordale and Ying-Yang Island. I love them both but get caught up completely in whichever I happen to be playing

I never play default. XD On The Sims 1, back in the days before multiple neighborhoods (anyone else remember those times?), I'd delete all of the given families before even considering starting to play.

I'm ganna have to move to Vernoaville soon because Pleasent View is full of one giant family and a couple of my friend's familys. But no I don't take the time to make a town of my own. And Stangeville is where I put my brothers familys when he wants to play.

I did that. xd

Then, when Unleashed came out, I bulldozed every community and residential lot and created better versions of them.

((For example, I made Pet Paradise with the same layout, only tweaked alot of things, and built it to suit my own personal taste.))

I love building, but not community lots. I'm just too damn lazy for that. XD

I always feel as if I'm missing something whenever I build community lots.

But the mall I built in The Sims 2 is just gorgeous. It looks like an actual mall.
