Belladonna Cove

Belladonna Cove is a neighborhood included in The Sims 2: Apartment Life. It is probably named after Bella Goth, and there is a statue of Bella holding a PlumbBob in the center. (Belladonna is also another name for deadly nightshade, a highly poisonous plant or it might be the fact that bella donna in Italian means beautiful lady, which might signify Bella Goth.) The neighborhood contains apartment lots as well as normal residential and community lots. Belladonna Cove is the largest neighborhood of The Sims 2 and has many residential lots and community lots. It also has the largest playable population and territorial area. Belladonna Cove has many distinct districts: Slums, a trailer park, an industrial zone, a park area, the central city, the suburbs, a modern district, and the Hills, a fancy neighborhood where the high-class residents live. One thing often unnoticed about Belladonna Cove is its relative wealth. On average, Sims living in the poorer area of Belladonna Cove have around §13,000; while those living in the wealthy area have §50,000 to §227,000. In contrast, most families in Pleasantview start out with around §1,000. Belladonna Cove is the best place for live in the game.
