Desiderata Valley

Desiderata Valley is the pre-made neighborhood that is added to the game with the addition of The Sims 2: FreeTime. It features a number of new families and stories. It concentrates on building hobby skills. It is described as a relaxing, quaint town.

Sims in Desiderata Valley have a far more complete and realistic set of memories than Sims in other neighborhoods (for example: many married Sims have memories that indicate their spouse was not their first relationship, a common thing in real life). For some reason, many Sims also have a memoy of growing u from a baby to a toddler.
