Neighborhood

A neighborhood in The Sims 2 is the place where you build your houses.

The three neighborhoods that ship with the base Sims 2 are Pleasantview, Strangetown, and Veronaville.

University allows you to add a university neighborhood, Sim State University, La Fiesta Tech, and Académie Le Tour onto one of your base neighborhoods.

Nightlife allows you to add a Downtown section to your neighborhoods.

Open for Business allows you to add a shopping district, Bluewater Village to your neighborhoods.

Seasons added a new base neighborhood, Riverblossom Hills, which was added to help you get use to Seasons.

Freetime added a new base neighbourhood Desiderata Valley, so you get to know about hobbies.

And of course, you can create your own neighborhood from scratch, The Sims 2 comes with neighborhood templates you can use, and if you own SimCity 4, you can create your own terrain and everything.
