https://i.imgur.com/cXuZHBY.pngMy fourth completed town recreation (Technically I finished Bitville before Veronaville), something far more well known that the Stories and Tutorial worlds, this time ive completed the town of Veronaville, known for its extensive family trees and family feuds, with a town divided into an eastern english side, and a western italian side. This time I have added content from a few other sources, all of which fits perfectly in the town. Veronaville in the original game was always difficult to play; all the playable sims were Capps, Montys, or the extra 'weird' family, the Summerdreams. Thankfully the very first expansion pack for Sims 2 added a university tailor made to match Veronaville; Académie Le Tour. This university featured a whole bunch of playable students who would move home to Veronaville after graduating, and having them in the town really added some needed variety. I have thus included all of these students who are living in various versions of the premade homes. I have also made the Monty family lot from Sims 2 PS2; in this game, Patrizio and Isabella ran a bed and breakfast up on a cliff, overlooking a small town, and they had a butler with them by the name of Don Treadwell. I consider this depiction canon and happening before the Sims 2 events, as the duo are much happier and you can assume that Claudio is alive and well still, with the feud yet to be reignited. As such, I have made a recreation of this PS2 lot and character.You will need Master Controller from nraas to fully utilise these families, as family ties are not preserved between files. I have used store content in places, but only when it was generally needed to recreate a specific look, or when an item from Sims 2 reappeared in 3 as store content (Notably the morrocan stuff)The Monty, Capp and Summerdream families with the exception of Bianca Monty, all come with graves on the lot, these are the various ancestors and are required for a complete family tree. The family ties to the playable sims MAY break upon placing these lots, but the ghosts themselves keep all their ties to each other. If the ancestors do not show up on the family tree after placing the lots, relink them with Master Controller. I built a custom graveyard to contain these ancestors, it has more than enough room for all the gravestones.Like with the Four Corners thread, I will post the families and lots one by one, with commentary, lists of necessary changes, and any required maintenance via MC to get the family working as much as possible like it does in Sims 2All my builds and sims are completely CC-free, official content only.Other Sims 2 town lots and sims rebuilt for Sims 3: Tutorial World - Fully Complete!

The Summerdream FamilyThe Summerdreams' kindly nature and zest for life have cast a romantic spell over Veronaville's youth. But will there be any magic left for Puck?Download the fairy version here Download the non-fairy version here https://i.imgur.com/O9L1Vpm.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/Rsvhl2H.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/8vBNGOT.jpgTrying to master the art of home video editing, Oberon has been neglecting his lovely long-time companion Titania. Is it too late for him to recapture their love?Oberon is a reconstruction of the official Oberon EA townie from Moonlight Falls, aged up to Adult and dressed appropriately. I had to use some makeup from Into the Future's registration rewards I think it was, to mimic the look of his superhero mask from TS2. Since a home video editor isnt a career in the game, he works as a Book Club Moderator, which fits his original Knowledge aspiration. His Moonlight Falls traits barely fit his TS2 incarnation, so they have been mostly replaced; people can and do change considerably over time afterall.Official gender preference from TS2 game files:Male: 0Female: +10Relationship settings:>To be filled in later, as the default game is a mess of unmatched relationshipshttps://i.imgur.com/XKlQ0tS.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/cjsH2bH.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/x7EtQR0.jpgThough devoted to her adopted children Puck and Bottom, Titania is feeling restless. Can she again find the peace, love, and happiness she used to share with Oberon or will she look for attention elsewhere?Titania is also taken from Moonlight Falls and aged up to Adult. Her traits were reconfigured as well, and she has a career as a Shopping Music DJ, the closest equivalent to her DJ career from TS2. I miss the Slacker career. She can actually use those DJ skills outside her career too, thanks to Showtime. Titania is also one of the few premade playable bisexual sims, but its rather difficult to keep in play, due to her romance with Oberon.Official gender preference from TS2 game files:Male: +10Female: +10Relationship settings:>To be filled in later, as the default game is a mess of unmatched relationshipshttps://i.imgur.com/pM9flsp.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/hhR6OXk.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Q1HhfO3.jpgPuck has been blessed with two loving parents—and a bratty kid sister—but sometimes he still finds himself lonely. Can he find a companion in Hermia?Puck comes out looking much better, due to the lack of his horribly gaudy makeup in Sims 2. His pants are the fairy pants, which are amusingly, the only pants in the game that come close to his long shorts from TS2.

Will she grow up to be more respectful and responsible?Sadly this is where I run into two problems Sims 3 has, at once. Sims 3 children tend to all look very samey, and any attempt to customise them messes up how they will look as adults, Thus for Bottom, I aged her up to adult in Sims 2, then used her adult appearance as a basis for this iteration. So, when this Bottom ages up to Young Adult, she should looks similar to her TS2 appearance. The second issue, is that Sims 3 is very very stingy on braids and dreadlocks, especially for children, so Bottom's hair wasnt even available. At least she has the outfit, somewhat? In Sims 2, she had a Charisma skill point, but as that skill cant be legitimately learned by kids in TS3, you wont see her skill point in it till teenage years.Official gender preference from TS2 game files:Male: +10Female: 0Relationship settings:>To be filled in later, as the default game is a mess of unmatched relationshipshttps://i.imgur.com/xEu8vuA.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/i8DoAEv.jpgA rather odd house in comparison to the other main families. Very few doors, an open house that anyone could walk into, an odd place for the front doors, and the huge party spot out back. Given the Summerdreams arent exactly normal sims though, it kinda checks out.https://i.imgur.com/mIUiKv2.jpgI added the graves of Titania's parents and maternal grandparents (ie the actual Summerdream line) around this pond, I feel it looks better this way, monuments to the previous kings and queens of the fae. There is also a fairy castle nearby. https://i.imgur.com/mU9skGU.jpgThe kitchen has an alchemy shelf with a huge amount of pollen punch, the secret elixir that you cannot learn or make. Its basically the stuff in the fairy homes, but in portable form, and everyone can drink them. I have it set up so that all four Summerdreams know the recipe for pollen punch, but they still cant make it; the creation of it is a lost art that only the old Summerdreams knew. As such the stock here is the last supply of it. There is also some fairy elixirs in the shelf contents, to convert people into faeries (or regain the fairy powers if playing the non-fairy version, but doing so will result in random wings)https://i.imgur.com/10IXxhM.jpgThere is now an alchemy table on the lower level, and several decorative plants have been replaced with functional gardening planters with alchemy plants and herbs in them. Oberon's mother's urn is also placed here, in place of a decorative urn. https://i.imgur.com/2EbzIb0.jpgThe top level also has gardening planters, and has Oberon's father's urn. I recall having to do something different with the staircases here due ti engine differences.https://i.imgur.com/mVjvOGi.jpgBottom and Oberon's rooms. Oberon doesn't actually use the bed, as he prefers to sleep with his girlfriend Titania, but I have placed home video items from Generations here to tie into his Sims 2 career and his official TS2 bio. https://i.imgur.com/oKPXnOb.jpgTitania and Puck's rooms. Titania's room even has a cup of coffee randomly lying around like it does in TS2. I originally wanted Puck's room to have flowers from Hermia on his table, but the link was severed with the upload, so its just random flowers now. He has a backpack in his room, but its only for show; unless hes a non-fairy, he cant actually use it.

Devalaous, this is an incredible amount of work, and done so well - ??????. Thank you for all your hard work, and for sharing it with us. This is a fantastic build.

The Monty FamilyPatrizio Monty never forgot Consort Capp's broken promise. But now his grandson Romeo has fallen for the Capp heiress. Will the Elders live to see the two families united?Download the Monty family herehttps://i.imgur.com/AD1IIg0.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/NcqUwTJ.jpgThrough his hard work, Patrizio has become the don of llama ranching, but will his grudge against Consort Capp prevent him from enjoying his legacy?Patrizio is the very same Patrizio from Monte Vista, aged to elder and dressed appropriately. I believe I added some slight changes to make him look grumpier though. due to the family feud and the deaths of his dearest son, and two of his son's wives (one of whom was pregnant), Patrizio is now a bitter grumpy old man, locked in his feud with Consort and most of the Capp family. This is shown in his traits; he has a sixth social trait, Mean-Spirited, to show his change. His career history shows his past career as a doctor (I have no idea why EA made him a doctor in Monte Vista, it didn't fit his history at ALL), and he is retired as a Five-Star Chef. He inherits his skill points from Sims 3 and from the PS2 version of Sims 2, and he has an Everyday 2 outfit that matches his PS2 incarnation.

She had a lot more skills than Patrizio to inherit from Sims 3, so she starts off a lot better. She has developed the Grumpy social trait due to the feud. She too, has an Everyday 2 outfit that is based on her PS2 appearance.Official gender preference from TS2 game files:Male: 0Female: +10Relationship settings:>To be filled in later, as the default game is a mess of unmatched relationshipshttps://i.imgur.com/TDSdFzY.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/l8tMspV.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/utLPDIM.jpgGood-natured and warm, Mercutio is the joker of his family. Can his good humor smooth the feuding family's ruffled feathers?Mercutio is made from scratch. He, like his brother, required quite a few store items, due to his rebel outfit. He comes with level 2 in Driving, so he wont take long to get to use car; I give every sim a car, even the teenagers, just to curb the game's tendency to buy new cars for inactives constantly. He and Romeo have jobs in the grocery store, as part-time careers are very different in Sims 3. I did make a custom career outfit for him that matched the Sims 2 one, but I believe it wont transfer over to a fresh placement, sorry.Official gender preference from TS2 game files:Male: 0Female: +10Relationship settings:>To be filled in later, as the default game is a mess of unmatched relationshipshttps://i.imgur.com/LmLca5G.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/Bu28Pi1.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/LIFBVrZ.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/cW5NDf9.jpgNaturally charismatic and handsome, Romeo's on his way to becoming quite the heartbreaker. Will he meet his match in Juliette?I had a bunch of problems trying to get Romeo looking right. He has a distinct look with sharp large eyebrows and a permanent smug look. Plus, his beanie and his beanieless look in TS2 I had to try to get right. His shirt is store content, but it might be one of the free packs, I dont remember. Wasn't many options there :p. His starting school grade is B, but all sims freshly placed in a wrold defualt to C, no matter the packaged settings, so you'll need to set a grade of B yourself, but it doesnt really matter all too much.Official gender preference from TS2 game files:Male: -10Female: +10Relationship settings:>To be filled in later, as the default game is a mess of unmatched relationshipshttps://i.imgur.com/ifvBNzI.jpgClaudio's determined to make his parents proud with his lovely wife and wonderful children. But will he be able to reconcile his son's romance with his family's sworn enemy?Claudio is present on the lot in the right spot, and he is the same unborn sim from Monte Vista, a natural blend of Patrizio and Isabella's genetics, with his looks customised to resemble Sims 2 Claudio. He even has the same skills, and his official bio from Sims 2 that you'd never see, is used. Due to Sims 3 making all Starvation ghosts thin, his fatness from 2 is not present.https://i.imgur.com/goesr0N.jpgWhile Olivia loves her children and always wanted a big family, will her next birth push her over the edge?Olivia Monty was infamous in Sims 2, as she mysteriously died of starvation alongside her husband, while pregnant. The pregnancy wasnt properly set, and its impossible to actually die of starvation while pregnant, but for storytelling reasons, this is what canonically happened. She is made from scratch, and her whole family tree is present. I plan to make a past version of the Dottore family to place in Monte Vista, so that baby Claudio can one day meet baby Olivia and make history. At least, up until their tragic end.https://i.imgur.com/1YZ3Ffn.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/ocDRp9d.jpgThe Monty Ranch, mostly the same, but with Sims 3 having pretty much no cacti, I replaced the cactus beds with clovers. I also added an electrical box and a dirt path to the ranch's top floor. The garden is left empty intentionally, so that Patrizio and Isabella plant some fruits and vegetables there for their culinary creations.https://i.imgur.com/YEAytgj.jpgDue to game engine differences, the chess table could no longer fit in the 3x3 room it was in, so ive moved it up here.The staircase is visibly bugged here, its texture didn't load in; it isn't supposed to be white. I only noticed this after the screenshot. https://i.imgur.com/MDc9Jiv.jpgThe bedroom chamber of Patrizio and Isabella. Not much change here, but there is flowers gifted to each other, and end tables to hold them on.https://i.imgur.com/Cpz7ayg.jpgThis section of the ranch has the urns of Claudio and Olivia, now much better decorated, and also has the secondary bathroom. That 3x3 empty room is ideal for laundry. I originally set up a complex system where all the flowers around the urns were from the actual Monty family members, as if they were all mourning the loss of Claudio and Olivia, but the game did not keep track of the flower gifters after placing the lot down in a fresh world. Ah well, it was neat viewing the flowers and seeing 'a gift from Bianca! how nice!' (I even had flowers from Hero, who as we know, was the next to die..)https://i.imgur.com/AoenLbh.jpgThe kitchen is largely unchanged, but the chess table could not fit, so it became a regular 'reading table', I constantly see Patrizio and Isabella eating pancakes and reading books here, in their PJs.https://i.imgur.com/iQaKjiH.jpgThe teen side of the ranch, I even added the trash piles that are present in their rooms at the game's start! I gave Romeo's bedroom an end table, so he can display the flowers he will inevitably receive from Juliette. Plus, it always irks me when a bed doesnt have an end table.Finally, as a bonus picture;https://i.imgur.com/RS3vwF6.jpgPatrizio and Isabella's PS2 outfits, with Don Treadwell.

The Capp FamilyJuliette Capp has fallen for Romeo, golden child of the rival Monty clan. Can the Capps set aside their grudge and put Juliette's happiness first?Download the Capp family herehttps://i.imgur.com/yR8EiHA.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/zQkkP1y.jpgConsort Capp was once associates with Patrizio Monty. What led to the end of their relationship, and can it now be salvaged?Consort is straight from Roaring Heights, and aged up and dressed the part, he looks just like his Sims 2 counterpart, only a little less exaggerated. Like Patrizio, Consort has changed in the years since Roaring Heights, and his traits are adjusted. No longer is he a coward or athletic (which didn't fit him at ALL), he is now Grumpy and Family-Oriented, with a sixth Mean-Spirited trait brought on by the family feud and the death of his beloved daughter.

Will his pride and hatred of the Montys ruin his sister Juliette's chance for happiness with Romeo?Tybalt Capp is probably the only one of the younger generation truly interested in the feud, and it would not surprise me if hes responsible for some of the stuff keeping the flames burning; teens are very reactionary and impulsive. Tybalt has earned his driver's license, since hes close to aging up to YA, and for those that cant stand his silly facepaint, he has an Everyday 2 without it. In the original game, he had it on every outfit, except for when he was bathing, but ive done a sanity check and applied it only to his Everyday 1. In Sims 2 he had facial hair, showing his general age compared to the other teens as the oldest teen in town, but Sims 3 has really bad options for teens when it comes to facial hair. Once hes a young adult, he should have light stubble around his chin to be accurate to his Sims 2 look.Since private school is no longer a thing, he simply goes to regular school with the Monty brothers, and likely makes every day hell for them.

Can she make her family proud and make herself happy as well?Juliette was a bit problematic, as theres no skirt like her original one. I still think she looks close enough to be instantly recognisable though. Unlike Tybalt, Juliette and Hermia have to use bikes, until they are taught to drive by Consort. She still owns a car thats waiting for that day though. Official gender preference from TS2 game files:Male: +10Female: -10Relationship settings:>To be filled in later, as the default game is a mess of unmatched relationshipshttps://i.imgur.com/3gDdrQF.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/YCbmVTl.jpgHermia is smart, but on the shy side. She often wonders what rock her brother Tybalt crawled out from under.Hermia was definitely troublesome. Her unique look was almost entirely impossible to recreate, due to a lot of missing assets. So she has a slight redesign. She also ended up using some store content, as the rebellious outfits in Sims 3, most of them tend to be from the store, especially for the teens. Since Sims 3 dumbs down the relationship panel in a lot of ways, you cant set her to be crushing on both Mercutio and Puck without affecting her romance reputation, she'll be considered cheating if both end up as Love Interests. Probably best to just hook her up with Puck, as the Summerdream family scripting encourages. Let her cousin go after Mercutio :pOfficial gender preference from TS2 game files:Male: +10Female: 0Relationship settings:>To be filled in later, as the default game is a mess of unmatched relationshipshttps://i.imgur.com/394RS77.jpgContessa is a strong matriarch who can hold a grudge. Will she let go of her anger at the Montys and do her daughter Cordelia's memory justice by allowing Juliette to pursue her true love?Contessa is the same Contessa from Roaring Heights, aged to Elder. I didnt give her a sixth trait like the other three elders, as I didn't see the point in it, given that she starts dead. She did live to see Cordelia and Caliban die though, and her death seems to be the most recent thing in Veronaville when the game starts. She didn't have any skill points in either Sims 2 or Sims 3, so ive given her some appropriate ones, just incase someone revives her or makes her a zombie or so forth.She also left her classic car from her Roaring Heights days for an heir to inherit; you'll find it in the family inventory. I thought this would be a neat thing. https://i.imgur.com/vmAiCZ3.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/vIUTdMn.jpgCordelia and Caliban, the parents of the Capp teens, both were very buggy in Sims 2, Caliban especially. Cordelia was born ingame to Contessa and Consort in Roaring Heights, similar to Kent, but I had to edit her face to 'un-Cappify' it, as she inherited the gaunt Capp face. She doesnt look like that in Sims 2, so I needed to give some quick plastic surgery..Caliban has always been probably the greatest throwaway ancestor in the game; he wasn't given a full set of ancestors, only the two parents, his ghost was the most broken of the ones on the Capp lot, and his grave was kept out on the lawn, while Consort had his wife and daughter stored in his bedroom.https://i.imgur.com/nGZJBHH.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/QpYlQ0F.jpgThe Capp Manor, ancestral home of the Capp family. I needed to add some little fences around the central pathway, as unlike Sims 2, everyone decided to walk on the grass AROUND the steps as it was faster, while in Sims 2, they used the path like the civilised family they were. Now there is small flower beds restricting access to the grounds on the sides, ensuring they use the pathway as intended. The Capp ancestral graveyard isnt big enough to hold all of Consort's ancestors comfortably, so they will need to be moved to the Veronaville Graveyard. https://i.imgur.com/fHAlvmv.jpgConsort's room downstairs has flowers from Contessa by his bed now. Presumably the last gift he ever received from her. It would be ideal to buy them a bookcase for that entryway room where they sit by the fire. I wanted to add one myself, but I don't like deviating too much, because if I start, then I'll revamp the WHOLE house. I would rather have other players customise these homes to their individual liking.https://i.imgur.com/wgpV7rt.jpgThe kitchen area. Like all kitchens (unless I forget outright) it now has a recycling bin added.https://i.imgur.com/wgpV7rt.jpgThe largest upstairs bedroom ive always considered to be Juliette's room, Tybalt may be the eldest, and a dude like him would definitely warrant his own space and bathroom, but Juliette is repeatedly called the heir of the Capp family, so she gets special priority treatment it seems.https://i.imgur.com/sVc8RxT.jpgHermia and Tybalt's bedrooms.

Bianca Monty is aged up from her child appearance in Monte Vista. While TS2 implies shes just starting her life, her overall story generally places her at Adult stage in this game, as her younger brothers both have had time to raise thier own families. I'm guessing she lived with her parents most of her life, and looked after the home while they were off doing the B&B thing from PS2. I also switched the age of Bianca and Antonio; in Sims 2 he was older than her, and we all know that Antonio is actually the middle child of the Monty family.

I have uploaded an empty original version of the home, the 'Tudor Starter A', this specific home is the one located at 20 Via Veronaville, the one furthest from the Capps.https://i.imgur.com/tW4S7i4.jpgI kept the house decorations simple and cheap, as shes only just moved out from the comfort of the Monty Ranch and the luxuries there. https://i.imgur.com/pe9I38j.jpgShe has a spare room for when Kent or one of her family members needs to stay the night. Maybe one day she'll have a kid herself and convert that room to a kid's room. ___________________The family bin upload is just like the TS2 version, all packed up and ready to be placed into a house of the player's choosing. The other version is a pre-placed house already furnished, so the whole town can be occupied quickly, and of course, for those that don't want to specifically play as her but have her in the background. The family bin version also respects TS2's choice of starting her unemployed, while the normal version has her already employed in the family businesss, the Culinary career. I always found it strange that only Antonio was employed, when all the other family bin families in Veronaville had clear intended careers and the skill points required for them. Must have been a development error.

Veronaville Community Lots

This post will contain the four original Veronaville community lots, and two original creations that I built.

Pentameter Parkway Market
Great produce and mags will make any Sim's day. During a visit to 5 Pentameter Parkway.

Download Pentameter Parkway Market here

This was the western side's place to buy groceries, and it also had a little side building for magazines and possibly video games. Since Sims 3 works very differently, 5 Pentameter Parkway is now a lot with a World Adventures book merchant and food merchant, and there are several vegetable stands from the special lot that was made to go with Monte Vista, as this is the closest thing we have to buying groceries Sims 2 style. The lot also has a Food Truck and even an Icecream Truck, but the icecream truck always starts driving around town EVENTUALLY, in my tests. But for a while, you should be able to walk up to it in the car park and buy ice cream there.

https://i.imgur.com/xHbrQ2v.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/nrKLD9i.jpg
One of the key traits of the western side is lots of palm trees on the lots, it seems. There is almost no cactuses in Sims 3, so every time there is a cactus bed, I have to improvise with the very few that the Sims Store gave us, alongside the Joshua tree.

Its nice seeing the carparks actually usable and not decorative, but some of them are just too small to be realistic once converted.

https://i.imgur.com/n7cRbGl.jpg
I guess with how Sims 3 works, you have to treat those bookshelves as 'try before you buy'

https://i.imgur.com/hV870OW.jpg
I also added some tables and chairs to the inside of this former grocery store, and vending machines where some of the grocery fridges used to be. I probably should have set those nectar racks to have purchasable nectar, so the western sims have a place to get pre-made nectar.

https://i.imgur.com/5HB98QX.jpg
Just the bathrooms and the little rest spot for full coverage of the lot.

Stratford Strip
Since both food and fun may be found at the Strip, It's the perfect location for a family shopping trip!

Download the Stratford Strip here

Stratford Strip was originally a video game and magazine store, mixed with a clothing store. There actually wasn't any food to buy here, the only food was from a public grill. I have changed the lot to work as a dual consignment store, one side for regular consignment, as EA themselves made consignment stores for Ambitions that pretended they had clothing for sale, and the other side selling elixirs, warranted by the Summerdreams being occult-based. A Nerd Shop register would have worked better, but there is one of those in the next lot. No point doubling up on everything.

I wanted to include a treehouse or something on the unused spot at the left side, but left it original in the end.

The little courtyard is generally unchanged, just prettier.

Added a vending machine so the lot description wasn't TOTALLY a lie.

The nerd-now-occult side has the game and magazine racks replaced with musty bookshelves, but there are still a pair of pinball machines.

The former clothing store has some clever little changing booths, not sure how well they work, but consider them decorative for the most part.

Globe Street Comics and Arcade
431 Globe Street is surely the place For entertainment-seeking Sims with discriminating taste.

Globe Street was the video game and magazine store for the eastside sims. Here in Sims 3, it easily becomes a Nerd Shop, selling comics and offering pinball for visitors in the arcade section.

Again, its nice to see the carparks in use. These ones work a lot better than the Pentameter Parkway ones. There is a food truck here too, solving the hunger pains so you can really put your all into beating that pinball machine's high score, without stopping to yell "ANUBIII!!!".

The store section needed a bit of a redesign, and I also needed to add a vending machine, as kids couldnt get food from the food truck (that is nonsense! When I was a kid, I sure ordered hotdogs from trucks like that, no problem!)

The arcade section has the Love Tester, due to the sheer amount of teenage romances and crushes in this town.

A long shot of the lot's interior, from the other angle.

Veronaville Market
For meats and treats beyond compare, Veronaville's Eastside Sims do their grocery shopping here.

Ah, the Veronaville Market, one of the ugliest and most player-hated lots in all of Sims 2. Its basically a really old farm building thats been repurposed into a little community market, with visibly run-down spots. Ive spruced the building up, but kept a lot of its flaws, as it just wouldn't be the same if I fully redesigned it. As of this posting, it has but a single download, showing its still unpopular today :p

There is a bunch of store content used here, some of which is big stuff, but if you down own it, it just wont be placed and the spot will be bare, or there will be some random trash item there to remove.

The original lot really does have random holes in the walls like this. The front has similarly always been mucky and dirty looking.

https://i.imgur.com/VLWA28b.jpg
The original lot has nothing but mud and dirt and a few tress on the left, so I plopped the farm content from the Sims 3 Store down here. Adds to the rural feel of the lot immensely, and its funny seeing someone like Consort Capp arguing with the evil chicken while your visiting to buy some items.

The grocery stands are replaced by vegetable vendors where they truly do feel like they belong, unlike the other times ive had to squeeze them into modern buildings.

I placed a lemonade stand and was pleased to find the Capp kids manning it autonomously, Don Treadwell was lucky enough to have some life fruit juice while shopping to refill Cliffside Retreat's fridge.

https://i.imgur.com/F9wyFdv.jpg
I replaced the decorative plants with functional plants to harvest from; I kept these plants strictly to normal vegetables and fruits, no store content, and no magical things or herbs. The vendor is a regular food vendor, as they do sell ingredients as well as meals.

The store over here has changed from a grocery store, to a nectar store with vending machines. I plan to make a dedicated nectary later, but this is where you go for now to obtain nectar and a machine to make your own.

The dreadful toilets of the Market. These were clearly animal stalls once, given the flooring of the original lot and how...open...the toilets are.

https://i.imgur.com/quVD0K7.jpg
So open that you can in fact, look down from above at anyone trying to poop. This is a design flaw I desperately wanted to change, but its how the EA lot worked. I highly advise that people buy the market and go on a campaign to renovate the lot immensely :p

Veronaville Graveyard
Whether eastside or westside, all sims unite in death.

Download the Veronaville Graveyard here

This is an original lot I made to store some of the 68 deceased sims Veronaville has. I dont know if this lot is anywhere near good looking or not, it was mostly about function and following the simplistic designs that a lot of early EA lots use. One side is getting overtaken by weeds, and parts of the grounds are falling apart. I forgot to place Moth spawners here, but the Deathfish spawner in the lake should hopefully be there. If not, its easy enough to add yourself.

There is more than enough space to place the graves that come with the various Capp and Monty families, but I'd suggest leaving the Capp family graveyard intact, as well as the Monty shrine where Claudio and Olivia rest. Things like that are deliberate :p

Summerdream Gardens
A small garden planted by the Gossamers and Summerdreams to celebrate the coming wedding of Oberon and Titania, some say fairies can be found here.

Download the Summerdream Gardens here

This is a simple little Small Park lot that is basically an excuse to have the fairy Arboretum rabbithole in Veronaville, a town where fairies do exist. It also functions as a place to gather fruits, herbs, mushrooms and alchemy ingredients, and wildflowers pop up a lot on this lot. There are no store content plants on the lot, nor any Crystal Plants. There is a single life fruit and flame fruit plant that can be deleted if they are deemed too cheaty.

As you can see, its very simplistic. Probably should have added a fairy house or two, in hindsight..

TO-DO LIST

Townies: These will fill out the career vacancies, hopefully. Each career needs 5 coworkers and a boss, other than Law Enforcement which work with just three, otherwise the game will rudely tear people out of retirement and force random unemployed people to join a career they dont fit into. In this case, you will find the Monty elders pulled out of their five-star chef retirement to tell fortunes or play sports or worse, become thugs in the criminal career, and Cornwall Capp is also vulnerable, as he starts out freshly out of a job.

The teen and child townies cant fill in any career spots, but will ensure your kids dont ONLY have capps and montys and summerdreams to talk to.

NPCs: Not every NPC will fill in the same role, as some have no counterparts. The unnamed Repomen and Social Workers will be given names in Sims 2 style; matching two random names on the credits for the game. NPCs that do not line up with any NPC role are free to become Townies and fill in any gaps in the town, such as bartenders, paparazzi, bouncers, or NPC types that expansions add. Also, almost all service NPCs in Sims 3 have a limit of 2, while Sims 2 generates three per role. The extra service NPC can be added to the pool using Nraas mods, or made into a townie

Maid - These exist in Sims 3. Either Gina or Arianna will become a Townie.
Repairman - These exist in Sims 3, but the NPCs will need to be made Adults that just look like Elders. One will become a Townie.
Exterminator - No equivalent. One Exterminator can be made into a Ghost Hunter, as the outfit and career are VERY similar. The other two can become townies.
Burglar - These exist in Sims 3. The extra burglar will become a Thief branch coworker in the Criminal career.
Cashier - Two of them will become Babysitters, the third will become a regular teen townie.
Police Officer - These exist in Sims 3. Either Elmer or Paul will become a regular Law Enforcement townie, or a Detective. Former is advised if you need more co-workers in that career.
Carpool Driver - These cannot be manually assigned. Believe it or not, the carpool drivers have detailed sim info including skill points, aspirations, even gender preferences. Thus they can be made into functional Townies...likely all with the Vehicle Enthusiast trait :D
Bartender - The game assigns only one Mixologist to the service pool, leaving two to become Townies. Ideally the other two will become Mixologists at bars around town, but you'll need mods to manually assign them. Otherwise its all up to RNG.
Delivery People - No equivalent. These will have to become Townies.
Firefighter - Sims 3 uses three of these for its pools, unlike other service pools, thus all three firefighters will be used.
Gardener - No equivalent. These will become Townies.
Mail Carrier - These exist in Sims 3. Either Armando or Kennedy will become a Townie
Newspaper Delivery - These exist in Sims 3 but only as children: two of these teens will need to be aged down to a Child, the remaining two become teen townies.
Pizza Delivery - These exist in Sims 3. Either Jane or Brenda will become a townie.
Nanny - These were replaced by Babysitters, who are teens. The Nannies will become a playable household that runs a Daycare.
Headmaster - No equivalent. These will become Education career Townies.
Social Worker - These exist in Sims 3, in four varieties. The fully patched game assigns only one per role; One sim to deliver adopted kids, one to take away neglected kids, one to deliver adopted pets, and one to deliver neglected pets. Three of the premade social workers will fill the first three.
Repo Man - These exist in Sims 3. Two will become NPCs, the third will become the repossesor of neglected pets.

Sims 3 exclusive NPCs that will need to be filled:

DJ - 1 to be filled
Magician - 1 to be filled
Acrobat - 1 to be filled
Singer - 1 to be filled
'Party Dancer' - 4 to be filled (Will use the Streakers from ALT to fill three of these)
Science Geek - 1 to be filled
Butler - 1 to be filled (Don Treadwell can optionally fill this role)
