Model train sets return in ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' with the '''Round and Round Model Train Set'''. Unlike the model train sets in ''[[The Sims]]'', players can not only have Sims play with the train, but can have them add landscaping to the train table. However, they cannot choose where landscaping items will go, and the town, trees, and signs are not added all at once, but in stages. The option to add signs is really an option to add scaled-down versions of neighborhood decorations, only the first stage actually adds signs. The second stage adds wind turbines, which turn when the train is operated, while the third adds a water tower. |

The mountain can be added if the water is present, but will cover it. |

Any side of the train set ''can'' be placed against a wall, but Sims will not be able to operate the train if either the side with the control lever, or the shorter side near the control lever, is placed against a wall. Also, Sims will walk between those two sides when adding or removing landscaping features. If two Sims are adding or removing landscaping features, the second Sim may walk to the shorter side opposite the control lever, so placing that side against a wall may interfere with the "Help Add" and "Help Remove" interaction. Placing the long side opposite the control lever against a wall will not affect Sims' ability to use the train set. |
