#hood: Veronaville

[katatty]

While Mags destroys her bed, Florence rolls a want to try fixing her broken television. This does not go well!

base game cover recreation but with characters that actually appear

The Chapel of the Sacred Heart is the church on the Capp side of Veronaville (which I've dubbed Old Towne). I love building church lots in my game, I just need to find more stuff for my Sims to do there so it's actually worth visiting!

My account is officially the Daniel Pleasant hate account and the Monty Women fan account. Bianca Monty’s living on her own, in a house bought for her by her parents…I wish (fr though, I’m not going anywhere in the next 5-7 years @ this rate with how expensive everything is).

I’ve got some ideas brewing in my head of what I want to do with her 🤫

Also I resurrected Hero 🌚 So instead of her dying mysteriously, I’m going to do something like the below (credit to @sabrinassims ). Ofc instead of her being actually assassinated 😭, she survived an attempt. Wonder who could’ve planned that…. I also just like the Monty’s more so 🫣

Also also, this is how I’ll forever view these two families (with a little bit of Shakespeare flair) because it makes so much sense 😭 Ty random person’s comment on reddit I found while bored.

I may have turned my hood into a gigantic Uberhood even though I’m already two generations in with Strangetown and Pleasantview lol

[buildbuymode]

if anyone else associates colours with the ts2 neighbourhoods what colour do you associate with veronaville? it's blue for pleasantview and green for strangetown for me but veronaville isn't as like. obvious to me, maybe purple?

Primrose brings home Angela Pleasant from school for a game of chess, just before the first snow falls.

Uberhood: Pleasantview, Strangetown and Veronaville

I opened up my uberhood after a pretty long hiatus. It's kind of wild to see how far I've come from the Maxis made hoods. <3

Little Stratford - custom shopping district for Veronaville

Little Stratford is home to many businesses, newcomers and established merchants alike. How is life in this little community going to continue?

Have you ever wanted more Shakespearean Sims for your Veronaville and/or a shopping district that’d fit Veronaville’s theme? Well, I wanted the same thing, which is why I sat down and created this little suburb so you can enjoy more Shakespeare-inspired families in your neighborhood!

Features:

9 households inspired by Shakespeare’s plays The Merchant of Venice, The Taming of the Shrew, Macbeth, The Merry Wives of Windsor and The Winter's Tale.  There are 22 playable Sims in total (plus one cat). There are also three deceased NPCs that are resurrectable and have correct memories.

8 business lots - 6 owned by some of the families who live in this subhood, 2 unowned. There is a general store, a pet shop, clothing store, a restaurant, a bookstore, a salon and spa (which works as a venue), a bakery and a furniture store.

The neighborhood name when you download it is BLST so make sure you don’t already have a subhood by that name.

The hood is built on the Riverblossom Hills template so you shouldn’t need a camera mod to view the lots.

MODS THAT YOU WILL DEFINITELY NEED:

50 new lifetime wants for Sims 2 by Lamare since some of the Sims use those lifetime wants

RECOMMENDED MODS

Veronaville 2.0 by Delijume is what I prefer to play instead of the original Veronaville, so if you want even more Shakespeare than what the original Veronaville + my subhood gives you, I recommend you check it out! I chose Sims for my neighborhood specifically so they wouldn’t clash with playables from Veronaville 2.0 (although a few of the townies have the same or similar name as the Sims in my neighborhood).

Meet the families of Little Stratford!

Belmont

Portia has recently inherited her late father’s business. She’s confident she will be able to manage it just fine... as long as she has the support of her best friend Nerissa. But with her wealth, will she ever be able to form genuine relationships or is she going to be surrounded by vultures?

Friends

Bassanio has moved in with his best friend as both of them look for ways to get wealthy. Bassanio has his sights set on a wealthy heiress while Antonio is struggling to get his business off the ground. Will the friends be successful in their endeavors?

Minola

After his wife’s death, Baptista was left to manage his business and raise his daughters alone. Will he manage to be a good father to both Bianca and Katherine as well as keep the business afloat?

Lartius

Just moved in, Hortensio and Petruchio are looking forward to their new life in this town.

McBeth

The McBeth sisters have just moved in! Verona plans to open a shop and sell her potions, Bellatrix mostly wants to cause mischief and Esme is trying to keep things from falling apart. This family might seem a tad wyrd, but the sisters have a strong bond.

Falstaff

John is looking for some new love; ideally for someone wealthy enough to financially support him. He has his sights set on two women in particular and is fully confident he will manage to woo at least one of them. Is he right?

Page

George and Margaret have been married for years and still going strong! Will young Anne manage to find such a strong relationship one day? And will William ever manage to fix his terrible grades?

Ford

Alice and Francis are content, but are they truly happy together? Will they grow closer or more apart?

King

Leontes and Hermione have been happily married for years but recently, Leontes has become convinced that Hermione is cheating on him. Will his jealousy destroy the family?

[simptasia]

of the veronaville sims left in that poll, i hope tybalt wins the whole thing because of the characters left, he's the one with the most personality and flavour

The VV subhood is coming along....slowly

There's not much yet, but this is hours worth of building because for some reason I decided to furnish all of these lots. I just want to know how Maxis made a whole entire hood English inspired but only put in like two colors of those paneled walls. But I'm almost done with this particular style of homes before I move on to more English stone farm house styled ones. This area is for middle to upper class Sims, the rest of this side of the river will be lower to lower middle class homes. Someday I'll get the energy to start the castle I have planned for the Edgar Allen Poe inspired household.

I've also been playing Veronaville rotationally, though I haven't been in this hood for a few weeks now!

I feel like Veronaville used to be the most underrated of the basegame hoods. But over the years, I've definitely seen more people play in it again, which I love! I have such fond memories of exploring this hood when I was little.

[simlith]

hi there! i'm lily and i've been playing the sims 2 since 2001.

i mostly play sims 2 rotationally and currently, i am on r5 of my first ever strangetown playthrough. i am a pleasntview stan at-heart and i will always (ALWAYS) give dina caliente the life she deserves 💸💸💸

so basically, you'll find rotational gameplay here with my custom rules, s2 cc finds reblogs, the occasional sim download, might start a bacc as that's something i've never tried before so that'll be hilarious.

i use clay hairs and i (try to) only use maxis-match / 4t2 clothes.

wcif's are welcome~

👽 STRANGETOWN DUMPS. + family tree (wip)

Alcoa will continue soon!

I'm sorry I haven't posted since the end of round 4.

I love playing this game and I really like sharing it, but I lack the energy/motivation to write the actual posts...

I've finished round 5, and have some 'fun' posts in my mind to 'celebrate' 5 rounds of Alcoa. I also finished round 6 and even started playing round 7, so lots to share! Now only write the posts!

I also want/plan to play and share more about my Strangetown+, but I'm having too much fun playing Alcoa.

And since I'm silly and always want to start new hoods, I started a project in Veronaville, called 'My Veronaville'. I haven't gotten far at all, but I do plan on doing more with it, as well as with my legacy hood, Woodlan Springs, and Teslin...

Too many simthings to do, too little time to do them all!
