| [2] Setting Up Your Neighborhood |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
When your family has been created, you can move them into a neighborhood.
Before doign that, however, there are some things you can do.
To find a place for your Sims to live, you need to build a house. You can do
this by placing a lot, then building on that lot. If you don't want to build a
house, there are several that come pre-built with the game, and all you have to
do is decorate it. If you choose to build your own house, there are ten lots
you can buy, all a different size. You place these lots adjacent to any road.
You must type a name for the lot, and choose whether it'll be a community lot
or a residential lot. Sims can only move into residential lots.
You also have the option of decorating your neighborhood. You can plant flora,
which includes trees and shrubs; landmarks, which include signposts, a water
tower and a satellite; effects, which include clouds and balloons; stones,
which include rocks and formations; and miscellaneous objects.
