The Sims 2 base game comes with 3 pre-made neighborhoods, with all expansion installed will be 6 pre-made neighborhoods, plus 8 pre-made sub-neighborhoods which can be linked to each neighborhood separately and visited (3 university campuses, 1 downtown, 1 shopping district, 3 vacation destinations). Total 14 pre-made neighborhoods with 350 lots. Additional 5 hidden neighborhoods do exist in game files and are used to generate NPC, they cannot be played.

Do you love the drama of Pleasantview, but want to play something different? My ready-to-play Sims 2 custom neighborhood is for you! This is my personal take on a gender-bent Pleasantview. The relationships between Sims are still there and the family structures are the same (with genders reversed). But the Sims and lots are completely.

Total lot value: calculated by making a total of the values shown when you enter lot and click “Lot Information” in top-left corner, this is how I was able to get value for community lots and apartment lots. But in university campus, dorms display $0 value and residential houses display rent value instead of built-up value.

Which is the biggest neighborhood in The Sims 2? Most people say that IslaSegundo and Driftwood. Personally I say Isla Segundo, followed by Alpinoch and Driftwood. But… how do you define the “size” of a neighborhood? Longest roads, distance between roads, build-able space, or…?

• The Sims 2 - MERGED Pleasantview, Strangetown & Veronaville. This is a neighborhood for The Sims 2 (PC) game. It contains Pleasantview with Strangetown and Veronaville attached as Downtowns, allowing sims from all three neighborhoods to meet and mingle.

• To reset the neighborhood, don't just copy/paste the file from the Program Files directory; make sure you delete the file in the My Documents directory first. If you simply copy/paste, you will reset the default sims and lots, but not user-created sims and lots, or sims that are spawned by the CPU. That would be very bad, too.
• Go to Elfstone Designs and download Simsville N99. Unzip it and put the files into your 'My Documents EA Games The Sims 2 SC4Terrains' folder. Be warned that this is a heavily decorated Neighbourhood that does not play well on lower end machines. An alternate Neighbourhood Terrain has been discovered and tested by Jeanie.
• Make sure your The Sims 2 game isn't running. Back up your games files. Now find the following location on your hard drive: My Documents EA Games The Sims 2 Neighborhoods. Right-click on the folder F001 (this is the Desiderata Valley folder) and choose 'Delete'. Click yes when asked, to confirm deletion.
• 2) Place Custom Contents into My Documents EA Games The Sims 2 Downloads 3) Place the entire N165 folder into My Documents EA Games The Sims 2 Neighborhoods Please note: If you have a Neighborhood N165 already in your Neighborhoods folder you will need to rename the new one to something that you don't have.

I decided to count the length of roads. Turn up the speakers mp3 download. Results are shown in the following table:

Warning: the road length may not reflect apparent size of map. Maps with too close roads may look smaller, for example Veronaville. Also Strangetown having 2 parallel roads at 1 square apart, plus 3 side roads, looks a very small city. However all other maps have the roads at about 7-15 squares apart so a comparison using length of roads will be no problem.

Sedona have 4 roads going to map edges so the actual city is very small, while Alpinoch have only 1 road going to road edge so the city looks huge, would be nice map if it was not hilly.

IslaSegundo is the only one The Sims 2 map with no roads connecting the road edges, it also have longest roads so is definitely the BIGGEST map.

Note: All the photos shows lush or desert according default settings of game. All neighborhoods can be made lush, desert, dirt or concrete. Pleasantview SimCity terrain is different than the decorated Pleasantview. But as coincidence, road length is the same.

Which is my favorite neighborhood?

None of the above. ALL SUCKS!

Personally I prefer neighborhoods with roads close enough to be able to build everything and leave none or little space between houses, and with all “city” flat, surrounded by mountains and some water. The only neighborhood which partially match criteria is Pleasantview, but it is too small. So I usually build houses on better, player-made neighborhoods downloaded from ModTheSims.info, my favorites are the neighborhoods made by an user named Gethane.

Excel table – list of houses in all The Sims 2 neighborhoods

I compiled an Excel table with all lots in every neighborhood. Database format: Lot address, Lot size, Lot zoning, Lot value, Default lot value, Rent value, Family name, Family funds. Considering that I spent some time writing every lot (about 30 minutes hour per neighborhood), and NO equivalent database is available on internet, I deserve one dollar for each neighborhood!
