In And Around ... SimsVille

Some time ago I said in Twitter I was planning something 'special' to post here, so this is it.
The reason this is special to me, is because I've been planning this for some time now, I think from about I started blogging, at least not long after that, and that's almost 4 years ago.

I always love getting a peek into some one else's hoods, and so I thought it would be nice to do an 'In and Around'-series. And what better part of my hood to start then SimsVille?

SimsVille consistst of 2 parts; SimsVille and SimsVille Up Hill. For better pictures I decicded to do those seperatly.

As you can see on the picture, there are 5 main roads in SimsVille, there is another one, but there is no building on it at all.
As you can also see I've given them all a color, under the picture you can see who's living on that street and what businesses are there. The arrow in the color of the street indicates from where I've started.
The white arrow, pointing to the top of the picture, indicates the road to Simmeria.

Upper SimsVille

A growing hood is always in need of expanding, and so is SimsVille. Although SimsVille itself is rather small neighbourhood (downloaded it here) there still is some space for expanding. Currently I'm creating several community lots for my sims to visit, but I thought they needed something more.

So I've added Upper SimsVille!

It's called Upper, because I thought Simsville is located at the beach, and Upper SimsVille isn't, that Upper SimsVille is located higher. I downloaded the hood here, and added the downtownlots from the downtownarea that came with Nightlife. I've also added some appartmentbuildings, and some small houses for my sims to live in.
For the moment there is nobody living in Upper SimsVille, but I think that the 1ste sim will be moving there, at the start of round 6.

SimsVille the hood

To have an idea on how the hood is growing, I will list pictures of the hood every round.
Sometimes I will show the hood in detail, but that will be anounced.
