The neighborhood contains apartment lots as well as normal [[residential lot|residential]] and [[community lot]]s. Belladonna Cove is the largest neighborhood of ''[[The Sims 2]]'', both in population and physical size. Belladonna Cove has many distinct districts: slums, a trailer park, an industrial zone, a Central Park, the city's core, 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 bears many similarities to New York City, especially the Central Parks (Central Park), the BC Public Library (NY Public Library), the wealthy district overlooking the park (Upper East Side), and the statue of Bella Goth (Statue of Liberty). Furthermore, the Bella Statue is in a lake, while the Statue of Liberty is in an ocean, both of which are bodies of water. |
||
* |
*Many of Belladonna Cove's pre-made families have recent [[memories]] of moving out and in to a new home. |
||
* |
*Unlike the pre-made deceased Sims of [[Pleasantview]] and [[Strangetown]], most pre-made deceased Sims in Belladonna Cove have some memories, but not a complete set of life memories. |
||
* |
*It is interesting to note that there is a [[Secret lot|"secret" lot]] in a corner of the map, which can be accessed by playing with the view mode, or by pressing 'tab'. The house on this lot looks like some retreats in ''Bon Voyage'', and it has a value of around §36,000. |

*Unlike the other neighborhoods, there are no male maids in Belladonna Cove. |
||
*Unlike the other neighborhoods, there are no female [[Social Bunny|social bunnies]] in Belladonna Cove. This can be proven with [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]]. |
|||
* There are no premade Repo Men in Belladonna Cove, they will generate by themselves later on while playing the neighborhood when someone gets repossessed. |
|||
**However, all Belladonna Cove Social Bunnies must be manually moved to the NPC Sim Bin using SimPE in order for them to show up in-game, since none of them are placed in the NPC Sim Bin at the start of the game. |

*A glitch in the neighborhood exists where the gravestones that were originally supposed to appear in the neighborhood would simply vanish, likely due to a developer's oversight. This can be corrected with the [http://meetme2theriver.livejournal.com/63030.html fixed neighborhood templates] and the [https://modthesims.info/d/456523 Hoodchecker] tool.<ref>https://modthesims.info/t/495778</ref> |

Belladonna Cove | |
---|---|
From far and wide, Sims have been drawn to beautiful Belladonna Cove! Some are looking for a quiet place to settle down, others to tango with the hustle and bustle of the more exciting districts and a distinct few who have been drawn by rumors of mystical energies. Will they all be able to get along? | |
Name | Belladonna Cove |
Game | The Sims 2: Apartment Life |
Onomatology |
Belladonna Cove ( /ˌbɛləˈdɒnə koʊv/) is a neighborhood included in The Sims 2: Apartment Life. It may be named after Bella Goth, as there is a statue of Bella holding a PlumbBob in the center of the city. Additionally, "bella donna" in Italian means "beautiful lady," which may refer to Bella Goth. Belladonna is also another name for deadly nightshade, a highly poisonous plant that was allegedly used by witches, so the name might allude to the fact that witches are now introduced into the game.
The neighborhood contains apartment lots as well as normal residential and community lots. Belladonna Cove is the largest neighborhood of The Sims 2, both in population and physical size. Belladonna Cove has many distinct districts: slums, a trailer park, an industrial zone, a Central Park, the city's core, 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.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Belladonna Cove bears many similarities to New York City, especially the Central Parks (Central Park), the BC Public Library (NY Public Library), the wealthy district overlooking the park (Upper East Side), and the statue of Bella Goth (Statue of Liberty). Furthermore, the Bella Statue is in a lake, while the Statue of Liberty is in an ocean, both of which are bodies of water.
- Many of Belladonna Cove's pre-made families have recent memories of moving out and in to a new home.
- Unlike the pre-made deceased Sims of Pleasantview and Strangetown, most pre-made deceased Sims in Belladonna Cove have some memories, but not a complete set of life memories.
- It is interesting to note that there is a "secret" lot in a corner of the map, which can be accessed by playing with the view mode, or by pressing 'tab'. The house on this lot looks like some retreats in Bon Voyage, and it has a value of around §36,000.
- Unlike the other neighborhoods, there are no male maids in Belladonna Cove.
- Unlike the other neighborhoods, there are no female social bunnies in Belladonna Cove. This can be proven with SimPE.
- However, all Belladonna Cove Social Bunnies must be manually moved to the NPC Sim Bin using SimPE in order for them to show up in-game, since none of them are placed in the NPC Sim Bin at the start of the game.
- There are no pre-made repo-men in Belladonna Cove. They will be generated by the game once a Sim's red bills explode.
- The industrial factory and pig balloon is likely based on the Pink Floyd album Animals.
- A strange glitch occurs in Belladonna Cove where most of the ancestors of pre-made families cannot be married to their former wife/husband. This glitch applies to all the families in the neighborhood with the exception of the Green, Gere, Weir, and Cordial families.
- A glitch in the neighborhood exists where the gravestones that were originally supposed to appear in the neighborhood would simply vanish, likely due to a developer's oversight. This can be corrected with the fixed neighborhood templates and the Hoodchecker tool.[1]
