'''SimVille''' is a fanon neighbourhood created by [[User:K6ka|K6ka]]. It originated from the [http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=248393 SimVille Italian project], a custom neighbourhood made by [[Mod The Sims]] creators lagianfra, MaryLou, Max3D, Numenor, and Simmer. All of the residential lots were modified or removed, new lots were added, and the hood was populated with Sims. While the neighbourhood has existed since 2015, it was never revealed to the public until April 2017 with [http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=593256 this thread] on Mod The Sims.

==Original MTS thread==
<blockquote>As I have been invited into this group I figured I may as well do something here... Granted, right now I've just finished classes and am into exam season. I really should be studying, but you see, I'm not exactly the most focused of students...
Anyways, I've been hiding this neighbourhood from the public (mostly), save for a few pictures here and there in the TS2 Pictures forum and some name-dropping. I guess it's time to be a little more open (although not obsessed) about it.
A good while ago (must've been at least two years if memory serves) I downloaded [http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=248393 SimVille], an Italian project made by lagianfra, MaryLou, Max3D, Numenor, and Simmer. I removed or greatly modified all of the residential lots, though I didn't really touch the community lots all that much. I added in several apartments and decorations to make it seem a bit more "city-like" and plopped down a ton of lots on an unused, empty section of road. I tried to preserve the neighbourhood's original integrity as much as possible, and while it definitely won't win any contests here on MTS, I like how it turned out.
So, here's what the hood looks like now!

The roads in this hood twist and turn and leave very little space for building lots. It's a bit frustrating, but it presented an interesting challenge for me in that it forced me to build up, and I favoured apartments over single houses (Sure does fuel the anti-suburbia part of me!). It's not exactly Hong Kong, but even though TS2 still seems to be a mostly "suburban" kind of game that excludes true city living (or other cultures and countries, for that matter) I think I worked around the restrictions quite nicely.

I also have a mixed of unowned and owned community lots. All of the default community lots that shipped with this hood are unowned and mostly left untouched. Most of the owned community lots were built by me. I'm not exactly the best builder of lots but I think I design my buildings better than some of the buildings in my university campus (Which I think would fail fire safety regulations any day now). The picture above shows a brief glimpse of the area that was once empty road; the only lot there was a cemetery! I left the cemetery alone and used it to bury my own dead Sims along with the few gravestones already there (IIRC cemeteries in Canada are "unmovable", so no development can happen on, above, or under them, and they cannot be moved. I stayed true to this statement; even I would like my dead Sims to rest in peace), and I built a mix of apartments, owned community lots, unowned community lots, and single homes. I still have some space left over which I occupied with building decorations. If I need to build more lots, I'll use that space (But I don't have much left, so subhoods will become prime real estate places soon!). I admittedly got lazy in the new area and just plopped some default Downtown community lots into there. One of them is an owned community lot that I heavily modified, and I quite like it.
And, well, I think I'll give this underappreciated lighthouse some attention. Hi lighthouse!!

I'll post more about this hood soon! The Sims themselves are, at least to me, the real flavour of the soda!
