Pelican Town Hood - Download

UPDATE: There is now a cc-free version available for download!

UPDATE: Version 1.2 is out and contains some minor fixes like adding missing storytelling images and fixing surnames.

It's finally here! This is a recreation of Pelican Town from Stardew Valley as a custom Sims 2 neighborhood. It contains:

17 playable lots/families

7 bin families

14 community lots

5 custom townies (+ Leo in the adoption pool)

6 stray animals inspired by the cats and dogs you can choose in SDV

All buildings and Sims are supposed to resemble their SDV counterparts as much as possible. I am definitely more comfortable with building than with CAS, so feel free to give the Sims makeovers ^^ All sims have custom memories, relationships, skills, bios, family photos etc.

All EPs and SPs are required! Keep in mind that this is by no means a CC-free hood. I have included all of the CC with the download, see the attached README for more information. I might make a CC-free version one day if anyone's interested, but that's a pretty big might! I am using default replacements in the screenshots, these are not included in the download.

DOWNLOAD - CC Free ver 1.2 (SFS)

If you decide to play the hood, be sure to let me know about any problems or feedback you might have. I am super excited to see what you all do with it. This is the first time I created and shared a custom neighborhood for TS2, so I hope everything is working properly.

Full disclosure, I experienced some pink soup issues during playtesting :( They were usually resolved by exiting and re-entering the lot. I don't know if it is caused by my system or this particular neighborhood, maybe it's the amount of trees? Anyway, let me know if you encounter any similar issues.

Thanks y'all for showing interest in this project and encouraging me to finish the hood! I started this back in March 2022 and was done building a long time ago, but setting up all the SimPE stuff took much longer than expected. I had loads of fun though!

Since tumblr will not let me put enough images into one post, I'm going to make seperate posts with more info about the lots and families. Or you can check out the download and see for yourself :) Happy Simming!

⛵Coal Harbor, port of Hawara⛵

Hello!

I have long wanted to make a port using CC that I have hidden there. So I spent an entire afternoon letting go of my imagination, and after a while I ended up creating the port, which I named "Coal Harbor", I tried to create it with a Caribbean and summer theme 🌴.

Coal Harbor is located in a natural channel that empties into the sea. The port allows docking of various types of ships; such as tourists, cargo, boats, among others 🚢.

Coal Harbor has restaurants, cafes, shops, markets that are available from morning until night, making the walk through the port pleasant and enjoyable 🌞.

One of the most unique moments of the port is at night, where the lights and stars make the moment in Coal Harbor special 🌟.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post and see the images, I hope you liked it. I hope you are well and I wish you a nice day 🥰.

Until the next post 💛.

Welcome to Diphylleia, your new populated neighborhood!

Diphylleia is a neighborhood formed by two large islands connected by a bridge. One island is more residential, which the majority of the population lives and has a few community lots. The other island is where only the richest families lives and has most of the community lots. Both have beach lots.

✿ Neighborhood Info:

This neighborhood requires all EPs & SPs or Ultimate Collection. It also does not needs a camera mod, you can see all lots in the vanilla game. All lots are compressed with Mootilda's LotCompressor.

This neighborhood comes in three versions: a Normal one, a No CC one and an Empty one. The Normal version needs custom content, and is avaiable in ModTheSims. Both Normal and No CC uses the NID "LEIA", the Empty version uses the NID "LEI4", so you can have a populated version and a no populated at the same time!

✿ Installation guide:

Once you download the version you wish of the neighborhood, you will extract the .zip file and put the LEIA folder (or LEI4 folder) into "Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Neighborhoods". There is an English and Brazilian Portuguese instructions file in the .zip.

✿ Main Story:

The Aurora family, founders of the neighborhood, live on the richest island. (...) The election day is set and Charlotte, Aurora's oldest daughter, got elected as mayor! In the celebration party, someone unexpected came… It was Elisa, Charlotte's evil sister, who decided to return home just to ruin her sister government. During the party, Elisa met Nicolas, the son of Christtoper Walls, the richest men in Diphylleia. She had an affair with Christtopher but since he is far away from Diphylleia, she feels somehow attracted to Nicolas… After all, he looks a lot like his father… Well, Elisa just does not know that Christtopher never left. (...) Can Zuri Okanlawon, a sucessful journalist, catch this love triangle and ruin Charlotte's image - as Elisa wishes?

What can be better than Strangetown? More Strangetown!

I've been working on this for quite a while...

This is Strangetown DLC! Custom subhoods for our dear desert town.

First I wanted to create subhoods for my strangetown, and it got quirky, strange, and dramatic really quickly. So I couldn't keep it only to myself and share this subhood and next ones when it will be ready. I will keep the usage of CC to minimum, I promise!

I will keep updating on it's development.

If anyone fancied playing the Sims Life Stories and Pet Stories hoods, Hood Building Group on MTS recreated them all, and recently updated Bitville so you can choose to play from the two different endings onwards :) Four Corners from Riley's Story has already been updated in this way last year, and I saw they currently working on updating more of their hoods to be played from the end of the story as well, so keep an eye out! I did originally add all the hoods to a megahood and just started making the community lots over, but now I might start again with just the updated Four Corners, Bitville and also Arbor Falls (as there's presumably no update coming, as no story), then add Mesa Flats and Garden Heights once they're updated :)

Stardew Valley Neighborhood Project

Hi everyone! :)

So, here's my first post on this blog. Over the past year, I've been having lots of fun recreating Stardew Valley's Pelican Town as a custom hood in The Sims 2. I figured it was about time to finally create a Simblr for sharing my progress.

🌴 Welcome to Hawara🌴

I've been working on a custom hood for a while now, every time I get inspiration for decorating cities, public spaces, parks, among other things, I try to recreate it in my neighborhood which I called "Hawara". The hood is located near the sea with a tropical and summer theme (I have to confess that sometimes I haven't respected the theme very much 😅), with beaches where its citizens can swim and have a good time, there are a large number of buildings and houses for purchase or rent (like buildings, houses and apartments).

I made several places that I will show as I finish them (like the decoration of the neighborhood, houses, apartments, restaurants, parks, among other things). For now I will show the city center and the main park, and the center seen from another location.

I have to confess that there were several times when I wanted to eliminate the neighborhood because I didn't like how it was turning out, but I applied the phrase "✨trust the process✨" that allowed me to see the final result of my constructions, and to be honest, I really liked how they turned out, which makes me very happy with how the city is progressing.

Thank you very much for taking some of your time to read my post 🥰, I hope you like the photos and the decoration, I wish you a very nice day 🎉 … and well… until the next post… 💛

By the way, sorry for the quality, I take the photos from "StorieTelling", I haven't yet figured out how to improve the images (I don't do this very often 😅), if anyone knows a better method please share it with me, I'll be very grateful to hear your advice 🥰.

PLEASANTVIEW - 21 years later...

A follow up to my earlier post of Pleasantview 15 years later.

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know I Took some time to translate your beautiful Frosty Lake Characters names, their back stories and their addresses. I think that was all that needed it. This is such a cool little hood, and I like it very much. I do not speak the language. I used Google translate and most of the stories made sense as they were. Anyway, here is the link for it. Feel free to share it if anyone asks.

If you don't want to share it that's OK too. I just saw someone asked for it in English.

Have a great evening.

Hi! Thank you very much for the translation. I'm glad you liked the neighborhood 🤍

If any of you have long wanted to download Frosty Lake in English, now you can do it!

Artemisia Isles, Garzoni Flatlands, Ruysch Island, Sirani Sands

These are only related because the last 3 are subhoods of Artemisia Isles.

I'm picky about weather-related gameplay, so my original thought was segmenting it away in a subhood for when I felt the urge to play with specific weather.

The main hood is Summer/Spring/Fall/Spring, and you can probably guess the other subhoods' seasons - The only weather not represented is Fall, but that's because I always play university as perpetually Fall (for learning speed lol).

As time went on, I came up with other things to add to the subhoods to make them interesting to play for other reasons, usually thematic concepts that match the environment.

The most recent thing I added was a bunch of vampires in Garzoni Flatlands, as a "30 Days of Night" type of thing.

Ruysch Island has the least amount of sims/lots, but there's not a lot to add. I mainly treat it as a fake vacation destination, so when sims roll a Want to swim in the ocean they can just go there instead of me figuring out if/how I want to add actual vacation destinations to the hood.

Sirani Sands has government agents and a run-down motel, but not much else. I was thinking of adding "raiders" like the Fallout kind, but I didn't get around to that yet.
