Sunset Canyon

Sunset Canyon is a residential lot in The Sims 2 for Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2, and original Xbox. Players unlock the lot by completing theirs and Betty Buttercup's Gold Wants at HMS Amore. It is the first lot in Strangetown (or Strangeville ).

The residents are Red S. Hirt, Billy Specter, Sheila Deadbones, and Helga Mandrake. There is no kitchen, no toilet, nor any beds, forcing the player to spend money on this lot in order to satisfy the Sim's basic needs.

Layout
The lot is covered by desert, and there is a graveyard where three of the four pre-made Sims are buried. It has the appearance of an old movie set with some props. There's Façades that suggest some of the buildings used to be. Such as a bank, a saloon, a store, and a hotel. The banks are just props, but the saloon does have a bar and some slot machines, there's also an empty room presumably to be a bathroom. The hotel has two empty bedrooms, a living room with a piano and chair, and a bathroom with just a tub.

Goals
The main goal at Sunset Canyon is to help Red S. reconnect with his deceased girlfriend Helga. The player's Sim will have their own set of Gold Wants to complete, as will Red S. and Billy.

Upon completing the final goal here, Tranquility Falls will be unlocked. The player can move there by using the taxi Call Box at the edge of the lot, near the road. Completing Billy's gold wants is not required to move on, but it does unlock the bonus location The Orbit Room.

Deleting the gravestones is not recommended, as the game then cannot be completed.
