Del Sol Valley just makes me mad. Fortunately I didn't buy it when it first came out, so I was well prepared for the disappointment, but it still just burns me up. Why only 2 neighborhoods? Why are the lots so ridiculously huge in the "shabby" neighborhood? We should've gotten 6 or 7 small lots instead of those 3 huge ones. We needed at least one more neighborhood, a middle class suburban type. No, four, the fourth with 2 or 3 huge ocean lots, and make the ocean swimmable!
Los Angeles, which DSV is obviously supposed to represent, is the 2nd largest city in the US. They could have tried a little harder to represent that. Just compare it to San Myshuno.
I never play in DSV. My actor sim lives in Willow Creek. I just put down apartment buildings from the gallery and moved 8 sims into each one in Mirage Park, 2 kind of low rent looking, one slightly nicer which I moved Vanessa Jeung into. It helps a teeny bit, but so much wasted potential!
