Where should the Ottomas family live?

Yesterday, in a new game, my sim had Sammi O. as a work friend. Tried calling her to chat, but no phone for her. Installed the mob into a house with phone to enable said calling. Discovered that EA made a bad goof that made for a 1 hour window when the child and toddler would be home alone, a sure trigger for the social worker to arrive. Would be worse once mama-san pops the twins. Wound up having granny skip work to provide the coverage. EA's brilliant play was for granny and teen son to leave for work by 3 (car pools showing up at 2) but parents not home until 3 or later. Talk about a fast ticket to no kids!

I don't even bother with the family. I send David straight to University and put him in the YA Sim Bin with a household of other teens.

They come with seasons so Riverblossom Hills is a nice idea - especially being so quiet/pretty. Perfect place to quietly raise a big family!

On the other hand Desiderata Valley screams "soccermom minivan" to me and I feel like that is the life they should have. Kids activities, etc.

Where have you placed your Ottomas fam?

First thing: download corrected versions of all premade families/neighborhoods. I have some links if you are interested.
Also, hm... I remember back in the day i played them in a custom neighborhood alongside other families from the bin, you should try that. Creating a neighborhood for those families should be part of the fun, as they don't belong anywhere. But, i would add them to Desiderata Valley
which screams "soccermom minivan". haha
