#uberhood introductions

[uberhood]

Welcome to Widespot.

To most people, it's a wide spot in the road, a place to pass through or at most pull over and take a nap when travelling from Here to There. To those who live there, though, it's the whole world.

Widespot makes Strangetown look like the big city.

Strangetown has tourist traps, the military base, the science lab, a shopping district; Widespot has... a small mom n' pop shop and a swimming hole. But don't be fooled. Behind the incredibly quaint exterior, there's a lot going on here.

Rivalries! Drama! Lovechildren! Local politics!

All this, and more, awaits you in Widespot.

Capp II Family

Goneril's husband Albany wanted a big family, and he got it. Will their offspring carry on the Capp traditions, or smash the establishment to smithereens?

While Goneril wanted children, it certainly wasn't her idea to have this many kids. And why does she feel like Albany perhaps married her more for her money than for her love?

Goneril Capp: Age: 31 LTW: Become Head of SCIA Aspiration: Fortune/Pleasure Personality: 8/4/3/5/5 (Capricorn) OTH: Cuisine (with focus on Bartending) Traits: Family-Oriented, Ambitious, Friendly, Eco-Friendly, Vegetarian

Albany loves his children. Too bad they don't love each other. Can Albany convince them that family is important? And can he convince Goneril as well?

Albany Capp: Age: 43 LTW: Graduate 3 Children from College Aspiration: Family/Popularity Personality: 9/8/6/1/1 (Aries) OTH: Science (with focus on Science Games) Traits: Supernatural Skeptic, Hopeless Romantic, Neuritic, Frugal, Clumsy

Miranda's cynical and rebellious—and wants out of her parents' crowded house. Could that explain her sudden interest in Mercutio?

Miranda Capp: Age: 11 LTW: Have 20 simultaneous Lovers Aspiration: Romance Personality: 6/5/3/3/8 (Cancer) OTH: Science (with focus on Biotech) Traits: Ambitious, Neurotic, Lucky, Born-Salesperson

Though he seems abrasive, little Hal is actually a very thoughtful boy. Will he mature into a healthy Sim despite his siblings' torment?

Hal Capp: Age: 8 Aspiration: Grow up Personality: 4/8/5/3/5 (Aries) OTH: Music and Dance (with focus on Banjo) Traits: Vegetarian, Neurotic, Hot-Headed

Desdemona wants to be just like her older sister Miranda. Will she be able to carve her own path in such a large family?

Desdemonda Capp: Age: 7 Aspiration: Grow up Personality: 7/5/4/5/4 (Taurus) OTH: Science (with focus on Stargazing) Traits: Vegetarian, Clumsy, Excitable

The youngest in a large family, Ariel just hopes she won't get lost in the shuffle. Can she get enough attention from her parents with all her siblings around?

Ariel Capp: Age: 1 Aspiration: Grow up Personality: 2/5/7/6/5 (Sagittarius) Traits: Neurotic, Clumsy

Not a legacy, not a BACC, but a secret third thing

Or - I started a custom neigborhood.

My uberhood didn't go anywhere, it's not broken or lost - but it has become too heavy for my current laptop to handle. I can still play it in short sessions, but the constant game of Flash or Crash?!! has been sucking all joy out of it for a pretty long time. So, with a somewhat heavy heart, I decided to pause it until I can afford a machine with more RAM (or until I miss it too much). I've played it for 10 years! I say, it was a good run.

But I'm not putting away TS2 itself, and being able to play a brand-new, tiny hood (that neither flashes nor crashes because it's only about 100Mb as opposed to... 2 gigs?) has really renewed my interest in the game. So... welcome to Route 24.

It started with a single sim and is already expanding through spares and select family friends made playable. For the main hood, I'm using an extended default townie pool by @letthemplaysims - absolutely loving all those simmies. They have so much character, and I'm very much looking forward to giving more of them their own stories and screen time.

The town itself is just the Strangetown map but green. The play style & rules are whatever seems fun/makes sense. Anddd I think that's all for the introduction. Phew! Now, on to the founder....

Uberhood update Year one: introduction

I've decided to start posting about my uberhood again. There has been some changes since the last time. It's actually a new hood, because I've changed up my playstyle and my cc preferences. lol.

But a lot of the buildings are the same in some of the hoods- and in others they're brand new.. So it's probably best to make a new introduction to each hood.

I don't know how much I'm going to share of gameplay- I think my current preference is to post "neighborhood-summaries" instead of gameplays from each household. But I like to share pictures of my builds, so I'll at least continue to do that.

Also, I might post a little bit about the "behind-the-scenes" because I loooove my spreadsheet. I love tracking stuff and I know I'm not completely alone in liking spreadsheets, so I might post a bit about that as well.. lol.

There's definitely a lot of changes from the last time I played with an uberhood. The biggest change is how I'm playing with Belladonna Cove. This time around BC is my Downtown. All of the premades from BC has been made into downtownies (except toddlers because they can't me made into downtownies. They've been put up for adoption instead). (:

Anyways, I'll start posting introductions to the 'hoods from now on and I guess we'll see how much I'll post of actual gameplay. (:

0. Introductions

The land of Pleasantview. It’s hard to find a person, who doesn’t dream of building a career in one of its shiny skyscrapers, moving into a cozy house of its calm suburbans and taking a stroll in between the peaceful greenery of its vast parks. But is there something more to it? Is there something that is hidden behind this polished image of ultimate happiness and breathtaking success? Is there something that never leaves the borders of the neighborhood stories? 

Not So Pleasant

They’ve always seemed to be an exemplary family: famous football player Daniel with his successful business lady Mary-Sue and their twin-princesses Angela, the bright mind, and Lilith, the creative soul.

So when Daniel moved out unexpectedly the neighborhood of Willow Creek couldn’t let the case without digging. Soon enough the rumours of Daniel cheating on Mary started to spread, and the exemplary image was left shattered in pieces.

What other secrets keep the Pleasants? And will Mary ever be able to trust a man again?

Broken Souls

Brandi never regretted leaving the luxury of her parents behind in order to move in with her high school sweetheart Skip Broke. She had no other choice. Her parents planned a shiny academic future for her, so they would never allow their 18-year-old daughter to keep her and Skip’s baby. 

The Brokes traveled enough around Pleasantview, with Skip doing his best to provide for his wife and his little son Dustin. After a long time of moving around, Skip has found a permanent job at the Landgraab facility and the family has finally been able to settle down in a tiny trailer house in one of the modest corners of Willow Creek. That’s where they had their second son, cutie Beau. And that’s where Brandi has lost her Skip to a “tragic and mysterious facility accident”. 

Will Brandi be able to raise her sons alone? And what troubles will Dustin get into while trying to deal with his heavy loss?

A Fresh Start

After months of unsuccessful attempts to conceive their second child, Leo and Lina have come to a conclusion that a calm suburban area might be the solution to their difficulty. So they changed the stuffy San Myshuno Business Quarter to the Copperdale fresh air, leaving Leo whining from time to time about spending a whole hour daily to get to his office and back. 

To Lina’s mind, apart from the fresh air there were more bonuses that Copperdale has offered her family. The local high school has always been famous for gifting its students a lucky ticket to the best universities of the countries, and Lina couldn’t dream of a better opportunity for her eldest daughter from the previous marriage Nina. 

On top of that, Copperdale was significantly further from San Sequoia, making Nina spend much less time with her rock-star father Niel Dwyer. 

But will the distance help Lina get rid of Niel’s troublesome and careless influence on Nina? And will Copperdale finally become Lina's and Leo’s family happiness corner?

Vikie’s notes: With my recent nostalgia about The Sims 2 lore, I’ve been dreaming of creating TS2 world in The Sims 4. Apparently it has already been done by violetpixels in the TS2 to TS4 Uberhood save file.

Currently I’m focused on the two iconic TS2 families - the Pleasants and the Brokes, along with my Gross-Dwyer family whom I decided to give a fresh start after I had lost any interest in going on with “My Willow Creek Teens” story. However, later on I might add a couple of other preexisting TS2 households to the “Neighbourhood Stories” (with proper introductions, of course).

Introduction to Barnwallop!

Welcome to Barnwallop, a developing little seaside town with lots of opportunity for small businesses and farming! This is my very first attempt at building a custom hood from the ground up. I usually play an Uberhood. My goal is to build up everything from scratch starting from clean templates and create all the townies individually. This is also my very first tumblr and sims blog and I'll be using this primarily to share photos and track my progress. Meet the Families Barnwallop has just four families starting out.

Everly Family (L to R): Cherise Everly, Oksana Everly Cherise's desire is to start up a cat cafe to spread awareness of animal welfare issues. Oksana isn't quite as much of a pet lover but has a great head for the financials and wants to support her wife in any way she can. The Everly family is starting their business from the ground up with no cats and just a few cake stands to start.

Applegate Family (Top Left to Bottom Right): Joey Applegate, Jessie Applegate, Jordan Applegate, Julie Applegate, Jackie Applegate, Jasmine Applegate (I regret giving them all J names because I will forget them) Joey is a fun-loving stay at home father aspiring to run a golf course some day. He makes friends with everyone he meets. Julie is a loving but serious minded scientist looking to build a career from the ground up. Their mixture of sweet and serious is a huge influence on their children's' upbringings.

Vineyard Family (L to R): Mabel Vineyard, Davis Vineyard, Nicolette Vineyard, Gertrude Vineyard, Diego Vineyard. The Vineyards recently discovered their passion for making wine in their backyard and they want to share their newfound passions with all of their Barnwallop neighbors.

Windsor Family (L to R): Gene Windsor, Isadora Windsor, Patty Windsor. Gene is the original architect for this town and Patty served as the first HOA president. She has recently passed the reigns to Isadora (the only applicant for the job) who takes the job seriously.

[Downtown] With the few simoleons that Axel had on himself, he was very lucky to find an abandoned Shack that he moved into.   Even though it was covered in dust - [Hey, it has a tent!] - rust - [And a running water in the shower!] - ...and a lot of mold, [...AND it has a fridge and a fireplace! *whistles* Not bad! Not bad at all!] - Axel was really pleased with his discovery.  He also met a cute stray doggo named Rover and two members of the Gearheads. They seem pretty cool!

🍸 searching for sims with integrity and dignity 🍸

so look, i wasn’t quite in the mood to boot up another uberhood, but i really want to share some gameplay, and thought i could make it a little more interactive along the way.

obviously, i chose a concept just as thought-provoking as it is intellectually challenging:

🎶

i’m searching for eight sims in total! if you’d like to submit a character you can make a little introduction post telling us as much as you can about them, and tag me! 

update: you can submit a sim to the casting ‘til october 7th!

[juniper-simblr]

Greetings from Riverblossom Hills. Public (community) lots

A quick introduction to all of the public lots in Riverblossom Hills. This is the lots that can't be owned by a sim.

There's currently 2 public community lots in Riverblossom Hills:

Riverblossom Hills Hospital Hidden between trees and bushes in the outskirts of Riverblossom Hills, lies the little hospital. It has its own pharmacy at the entrance, a maternity ward, general + critical care and a radiology department.

The Hills Community Center The park in Riverblossom Hills is the central area for all of the special events in the uberhood (such as the Spring Fair, Summer Carnival, Harvest Fest & Yule Festival).

[saralynnx]

It’s finally time!

My first attempt at an uberhood is all set up, and I got a chance to start playing today, so I figured it was high time I made an introduction post! 

As I mentioned before, each rotation will have the play order randomized to keep things fresh. University will be played as two years/four semesters per rotation. Once the uni students start graduating, I’ll probably add a ninth subhood for them to move into to prevent the others from getting too crowded too quickly.

None of the lots are renovated (except the EP lot bin community lots, which are by @catherinetcjd​); they will all be enjoyed in their fugly but charming glory.

I also went back to using the OG Maxis ui for some reason. I don’t know how long this will last, though; I miss clean ui so much already haha.

Gameplay will be coming soon!
