Veronaville

Veronaville is one of the three pre-made neighborhoods in The Sims 2 base game. The name of the town comes from Verona, the town of Romeo and Juliet. The town itself is based on a European setting, with a viaduct near the north end and a canal dividing the town into two architecturally different sections, the "English" side, featuring Tudor homes reminiscent of Shakespeare's hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon, and the "Italian" side, featuring Mediterranean villa-style homes of Verona. This divide clearly suits the divide between the two main families, the Capps and the Montys (meant to represent the Capulets and the Montagues of Romeo and Juliet). The Capps live on the wealthier and more prominent "English" side, while the Montys live on the less prominent and more rural "Italian" side. The other family, the Summerdreams, are the neutral family, yet they live on the "English" area of town. Strangely, the Montys are the only family to live on the "Italian" side.

Even though there are just three pre-made families in Veronaville, the total population including Townies numbers 186 Sims. All of the Sims', streets', and houses' names are based on Shakespeare's plays. The Summerdreams, for example, are from A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Oddly, almost all of the deceased parents of any pre-made Sim in Veronaville died young, in their adult years, unlike the Pleasantview and Strangetown Sims, most of which feature deceased elder Sims. Along with this are the parents of Contessa Capp, Hero, and Olivia Monty, who all may have been meant to live. The only exception to this rule are Contessa Capp (mother to Cordelia, Goneril, Regan, and Kent Capp) who died as an elder. Whether this is due to the family feud of the Capps and Montys or something else entirely remains unsolved. Perhaps the young deaths of Veronaville Sims tie in with the shorter life expectancy of Shakespeare's time.

Despite the feud between the Capps and the Montys, most of the youth seem to be friends or love interests.

Neighbourhood errors
Game developers seem to have neglected how the memories and ages of the Capp family and Monty family line up together.

The Capp Family
The Capp family resides on the "English" side of Veronaville which include Tudor-style homes of different sizes and a very Old Town ambience.

Memories
Like most Sims in the series, memories a distant family member (ex. an aunt to a nephew) would receive such as "(subject) got an A+ on (his/her) report card" are not usually shown; however, yet some siblings like Goneril, Regan, and Kent Capp do not even appear to retain memories of their childhood together. Consort Capp seems to have the most correct timeline of memories, even if there are still many holes in it. Memories most siblings would remember such as "(subject) grew up well" are no where to be found from any Capp family member with a sibling. Most memories are individualized to that certain character (See Juliette Capp's memories.) While one character may have a memory of another character "Taught (subject) how to walk" another may not have that memory (See Consort and Goneril Capp's memories.) 

Age
The age's of some of the Capp family conflict each other and their memories. The 7 grandchildren of Consort and Contessa Capp from oldest to youngest: Miranda Capp, Tybalt Capp, Hermia Capp, Juliette Capp, Hal Capp, Desdemona Capp, and Ariel Capp; still, Miranda appears to be the youngest having 12 days until she becomes an adult, while Tybalt has 4, Juliette has 8, and Hermia has 11. That places Tybalt and Juliette as the oldest and Hermia and Miranda as the youngest. With the death of Cordelia and Caliban Capp, the memories from their children do not line up with their ages. Tybalt and Juliette remember their parents death when they were both teenagers, contrary to Hermia's memories of remembering their death when she was a child. The accuracy of these circumstances are flawed, because if it were true, Hermia would be the youngest child. Family photos show their parents placing then-toddlers Hermia and Juliette in cribs, and a young Tybalt standing with his family. The 3 remaining children of Consort and Contessa would be all nearing the elder lifestage according to Consort's memories.

The Monty Family
The Monty family resides on the "Italian" side of Veronaville which include Mediterranean villa-style homes and an Spanish-like ambience.

Trivia

 * The name and basic premise of Veronaville comes from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, which takes place in Verona, Italy. Other names from this neighborhood derive from other of Shakespeare's plays. See Veronaville/Onomatology for more on this.
 * In The Sims 2: Seasons there is a decoration called "Veronaville Quilting Bee Finalist". This indicates that there is an annual quilting competition in the town, which sends the entire area into a quilting frenzy every year.
 * In The Sims 3, Veronaville is mentioned on notification when a Sim has mastered logic skill. On the notification, it is mentioned that "Such brilliance and mental fortitude hasn't been witnessed since the Late Renaissance of Veronaville!..."
 * In The Sims 3, Good Sims can donate to a charity called "Veronaville Community Chest". Evil Sims can donate to undermine it.
 * The feud between the Capps and the Montys is similar to that between the the Wolffs and the Van Goulds in Moonlight Falls from The Sims 3: Supernatural.
