Blue Lake

Blue Lake is a custom neighborhood which I was mainly shipped for The Sims 2: Seasons and The Sims 2: FreeTime. Blue Lake is in one of the more rural areas of SimNation. When the neighborhood first played, most of the households have summer season. Seasonal progression in Blue Lake is set to Summer, Autumn/Fall, Winter, Spring. Blue Lake is quite different from pre-made neighborhoods, because it is mainly inhabited (totally 15 families), and offer quite few free places (only two uninhabitated lots are in the neighborhood) to start a new family.
