NEIGHBORHOOD NAME CHANGE PROPOSAL

I propose the ability to change the neighborhood name and neighborhood description.
It is unlikely that we will have Create-A-World for The Sims 4. It is also unlikely that the neighborhood map will ever be editable. This seems to be a foundational base game engine problem that will probably never be fixed by a patch or expansion pack.
So, I am just going to make a neighborhood name change proposal.
That way, we can design our own neighborhoods, neighborhood descriptions, neighborhood names, lot descriptions, lot names, household descriptions and names, Sim Biographies and Family Albums.
We will probably never get the ability to upload more than just Lots, Rooms, Families and Sims to the Gallery, because of the way the Gallery is constructed. So, I think the best thing we can get is an increase in the character limit in the Screenshot Manager. Perhaps allow subfolders or some kind of organization system.

  • It is already possible to change neighborhood names and descriptions using Sims 4 Studio.

    1. Open your save file with Sims 4 Studio (you might want to make a back up of the file in case something goes wrong).
    2. Left Klick on "Save Game Data" (sorting the files by type by clicking on "type" first helps finding the Save Game Data File, there are a lot of entrys to scroll through).
    3. Scroll down to neighborhoods on the "Data"-panel you will find on the right.
    4. Left click on the button on the right of the "neighborhoods" entry to edit the "neighborhoods" file.
    5. Click through the different entrys and simply change the text ("name" and "description")
    6. Click save on the pop up window. It will close.
    7. Click save on the main file.
