Please improve this article if you can.
Billboards are objects found in neighborhoods. They can only be used as neighborhood decorations, and can only be placed while in the neighborhood view. While billboards can not be placed on lots, they can sometimes be seen from lots.
The Sims
In The Sims, the only billboards are found in neighborhoods. In Neighborhood 1 and Neighborhood 2, in the lower left corner, a billboard with the text "The Sims" can be found. Billboards are sometimes also found in other neighborhoods. Billboards can not be placed by a player in The Sims.
The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, some billboards can also be found in the neighborhoods. This is the first game where the player is able to place billboards in the neighborhood. The player can place 2 types of billboards in the base game, and some expansion packs add more. One billboard has "The Sims 2" in English, while the others are in Simlish. If Nightlife or a later Pack is installed, and the option to make neighbors visible is enabled, billboards may be visible while playing on a lot. With University, the player can make a sort of "billboards" by using the white SimGreek letters on a colorful wall.
The Sims 3
In The Sims 3, billboards can also be found. Billboards cant be placed on lots, tough. In Riverview, there is one billboard with the picture of a car on it, which appears to be on a residential lot, but it isn't. Bridgeport is famous for its many billboards. Billboards can only be placed with Create a World. In Bridgeport, there are also many billboards found on buildings.
Trivia
