- LadyGray01Seasoned HotshotIt's actually Downtown.
- I spend a lot of time in Strangetown due to my experiments with alien genetics, but I guess I would say Pleasantview. It's got the "descendants" of the Sims 1 families as well as several well-known townies. Also, I dislike the whole desert thing Strangetown has going on.
My old way of playing The Sims 2, many years ago, was to create a custom hood, but it turns out, custom neighborhoods all use Pleasantview's townies anyway, so. Plus the Goths are classic Sims lore. Who can forget the mystery of Bella Goth's disappearance? - Heidrun7New SpectatorUnpopular opinion I guess :D But I actually like the premade drama!
Another unpopular opinion is that Strangetown is my least favourite since I don't really like to have aliens in my game. - I actually really liked all the worlds in Sims 2. So I narrowed it down to Pleasantview because its got a lot of families that I really love who've endured over the years from expansion to expansion, game to game.
- I love PV too, but La Fiesta Tech has some unique characters there. I wish we could see what happened to them after they graduated in Sims 5.
- Pleasantview is definitely my favourite neighbourhood but there are others that I am fond of, so your getting a list (I’m sorry)
1)Pleasantview
2)Belladonna Cove
3)Riverblossom Hills
4)Bluewater Village
5)Veronaville
6)SSU
7)Strangetown
8)LFT
9)Desiderata Valley
10)Academie Le Tour
Note: I’ve never played with ALT and haven’t used Desiderata Valley too much. "Karon;c-17381446" wrote:
@Devalaous sorry, not sorry... The forum doesn't allow us to add more than 10 options. But you can vote on a separate poll I made here: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/971751/popularity-contest-which-is-your-favorite-stories-neighborhood#latest
Also, about BWV I know what object descriptions you're talking about in SIms 4, but I don't take them as canon information because its all messed up. Its about Checo Ramirez and Stephen Tinker that started a TV program where they try to find beautiful/unique/expensive objects and art on unusual places, each object description is set on a different Sims 3 world, which would be impossible. For example, there's a Twinbrook one that mentions Buddy Bailey and Gala Ball, but its not possible because both Checo and Stephen wouldn't even have parents born yet. Twimbrook is set way before Sunset Valley.
Well, not canon to the Sims 1-2-3 timeline yeah, 4 is an alternate reality. Still, its neat in its own way- In terms of which one is the most beautiful and feels most real, I think I need to give this one to Riverblossom Hills.
But Desiderata is where I had the best time of my Sims 2 simming. It's where I started actually playing with the premades (including the family bin sims) and adding populated subhoods (starting small with Bluewater). I found a nice balance between my own OCs and the game's characters, developed my story goal focused playstyle (before that I played more for efficieny than for story, although there was always at least some story going on) and introduced mods to my game. Eight years of dedication, then the hood died with my computer (in fact, Sims 2 more or less slowly killed that one).
And then Windenburg usurped Desiderata's place. I think they both have just the right amount of sketchy backstory/characterisation to spark my imagination, but not too much for me to feel railroaded, the way it happened with the three main 'hoods. In a way, Desiderata being a filler is a plus instead of a shortcoming for me. - Pleasantview because its the first neighborhood I ever played on, it always overwhelms me with nostalgia when I play it. :D
- @Devalaous I know sims 4 is AU, but I never thought abou the objects being on on universe or the other, now that your saying... makes sense. haha I wish they would actually add the characters they mentioned in the descriptions like they did to Princess Cordelia.
