[4] Neighbourhood

The neighbourhood is where your Sims and other Sims live, work and shop. This
chapter will explain how to add objects and what residential and community
are.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[4.01] Adding Decorations

When you play your own neighbourhood, it looks kind of empty. You can add
decorations to your neighbourhood to brighten it up. This include vegetation
such as tree and shrubs. You can also add things like water towers, research
sites, etc. You can add effects such as boats on the water (if there is water)
balloons and lots of other objects.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[4.02] Residential Lots

As the name implies, residential lots are lots where your Sims live. You can
either choose a pre-made home or a block of empty land. If you choose the 
block of land, be sure to name it and click residential lot. All lots, 
pre-made and empty lots must be placed next to a road (so cars and buses can
pick your Sims up.) After that, move your Sims in!

If you have a block of bare land, you can use build mode to make a house. 
However, building a house is harder than it seems and can cost a lot of money.
Only use this option if you want you Sims to live on bare land (for some 
unknown reason) or you have also of Simoleons (Sim Money) around the quarter
of a million mark.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[4.03] Community Lots

Community Lots are lots that a community can meet up in, which is also implied
by the name. They lots are where your own Sims will interact with other Sims
you have created or just walker bys (Sims that are generated and played by 
your computer.) You can buy food, clothes, games and magazines for your Sims
along with other things like BBQ's. 

You can build your own community lot by getting a block of bare land and 
making it a community lot. You can build to whatever you want as there is no
money limit on this (Thank God, imagine that you have a limit!) Build it to
your imagination, I mean you can build it like your corner shop if you really
wanted to, your imagination is your limit.
