'''Riverside''' was the original neighborhood that was to ship with ''The Sims 2'' base game, but was removed during development. It is believed that the Sims that appeared in various video previews for the game may have been the inhabitants of Riverside. The neighborhood terrain template for [[Pleasantview]] is actually the terrain for Riverside, suggesting that the road layout was altered and the terrain template repurposed for Pleasantview.

A recreation of Riverside was attempted by a user known as Thsms204, but was never completed. Another group, called "The Riverside Group", built upon Thsms204's work and completed a full, working recreation of Riverside in March 2014, available [https://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=503756 here].

<blockquote>''Don, Sarah, and little Alex settled down in Waterside. Sarah wants a bigger family, but Don still craves the romance of his youth. Can you hold this family together, or will these Sims just grow apart?''</blockquote>

[[File:Waterside.jpg|thumb|A screenshot of Waterside, showcasing the Baxter's house and multiple empty houses.]]'''Waterside''' was a neighborhood used for previews of ''The Sims 2'', and was created by producer Tim LeTourneau. According to development notes inside <code>thumbnails_family.txt</code> it was intended to ship with the game alongside the other three neighborhoods. <code>lotSpeck.txt</code> indicates that a Speck family were meant to also reside here, in a lot called "Little Charmer - 1BR 1BA"

It is home to the [[List of Sims used in promotional materials#Baxter family|Baxter family]], Virginia, Dina, Laura, and Tina. The neighborhood description entry for Waterside can still be found in <code>NeighborhoodManager.package</code>, though unlike Riverside, the text strings are missing. Several lots seen in Waterside were reused elsewhere in the game, such as in Pleasantview, and as pre-made lots in the Lots and Houses bin. Don Baxter and Dina were seemingly reworked into the Pleasantview Sims [[Don Lothario]] and [[Dina Caliente]], respectively.

===Sedona===
===Sedona===
A neighborhood named '''Sedona''' is referenced in <code>NeighborhoodManager.package</code>, though all other data is missing. As it was not featured in any previews for ''The Sims 2 '' details are scarce, though it was possibly an early desert-themed neighborhood in place of [[Strangetown]]. Sedona is likely associated with the neighborhood template of the same name that is included with the base game. The name also has an unused camera fly-through associated with it.
