Veronaville
Veronaville
The Capps and Montys have been feuding for years, but that hasn't stopped the younger generation from crossing boundaries and falling in love. Will their actions lead to ruin or bring the families together?
Veronaville is one of the three premade neighborhoods in The Sims 2 base game. The name of the town comes from Verona, the town of Romeo and Juliet. The town itself is based on a European setting, with a viaduct near the north end and a canal dividing the town into two architectually different sections, the "English" side, featuring Tudor homes reminiscent of Shakespeare's hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon, and the "Italian" side, featuring Mediterranean villa-style homes of Verona. This divide clearly suits the divide between the two main families, the Capps and the Montys. The Capps live on the wealthier and more prominent "English" side while the Montys live on the less prominent and more rural "Italian" side. The other family, the Summerdreams, are the neutral family, yet they live on the "English" area of town.
There are just three famlies in Veronaville, But there are a total of 186 sims including townies living in Veronaville. And there are more than 20 lots its actually 26 lots but only still 5 NPC's Most of the sims names streets houses are all based off of Shakespears plays.
Oddly, almost all of the deceased parents of any premade sim in Veronaville died young, in their adult years, unlike the Pleasantview and Strangetown sims, most of which feature deceased elder sims. The exceptions to this rule are Contessa Capp (mother to Cordelia, Goneril, Regan, and Kent Capp) and Sprite Gossamer, father to Oberon Summerdream, who both died as elders. Whether this is due to the family feud of the Capps and Montys or something else entirely remains unsolved.
