Veronaville 2.0 [Neighborhood + University]
Have you played EA’s original Veronaville but wished there were more families, more storylines and that it was a little truer to the Shakespeare version? Me too, which is why I undertook the task of recreating Veronaville from scratch to bring you Veronaville 2.0! Overall this took about 3 months, not including time spent testing and fixing it up to be ModTheSims worthy!
Included Features:
- Storylines from the following Shakespeare plays: Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer’s Night Dream, Hamlet, and Much Ado About Nothing.
- 10 Main Hood families, plus 3 University families, with a total of 50 playable sims. It should now be a bit easier to avoid everyone being related to each other as quickly as they all are in the original Veronaville!
- CC FREE, however, I do have the ultimate collection, so you may need the expansions and stuff packs for everything to run as advertised. YOU WILL DEFINITELY NEED UNIVERSITY, since the hood comes with a University attached.
- King’s Collegia Nouveau is included as a university subhood. The Globe Student Union is loosely modeled after the real Globe Theater where Shakespeare’s plays were performed. The college includes its own community lots, two dorms, two Greek Houses, and several small houses for rent.
- There are several nods to the original Veronaville in my architectural and character designs, as well as in the ancestor names. However, the focus was on being more accurate to the original Shakespeare storylines, and filling in any gaps with EA's Veronaville for inspiration.
- It is a genetically correct neighborhood. I created their ancestors in BodyShop and rolled the pacifier in Create-A-Family to generate their offspring. My sims are less unique looking than EA’s, but hopefully still distinct and diverse (and will hopefully make beautiful babies!).
- Dead ancestors (all neatly placed in the Veronaville Cemetery) are resurrectable since they were originally alive. However, I did not give them the correct memories, relationships or anything like that. There were just so many of them and I was already editing all the details of the 50 playables…
- Made from scratch lots. There are 4 houses from the original Veronaville that I used as shells and completely redid the interiors/exteriors to help fill in the neighborhood. I used the layout of the BV General Store Community Lot by EA and gave it a complete makeover for my Venice Merchant Square in the University. Everything else is a completely original building by me.
- Sparsely furnished inhabited lots. This is intentional, partially because I was doing this with no CC and figured people would want to decorate things their way once they got ahold of it, and partially because some people (including me) play wants-based and like to add more stuff as sims wish for them. Most of the community lots I didn’t hold back on decorating. The uninhabited lots are unfurnished except for kitchens and bathrooms.
- Two Apartment lots. There is the set of expensive 3 bedroom townhomes on the Capulet side of the river, and cheap studio apartments made from a renovated motel on the Montague side of the river.

Notes:
To install this neighborhood all you have to do is drop it into your EA Games/The Sims 2/Neighborhoods folder. The folder name of Veronaville 2.0 is N222, so make sure you don't already have a neighborhood named N222 before you add it. You will need the University Expansion as this hood comes with a University!
Since it's modeled after the original Veronaville, you shouldn't need a camera mod to view the main hood. The University Hood uses the same map as Takemizu Village, and also shouldn't need a camera mod except for "The Tempest" which is a nightclub I placed where the hidden lot in Takemizu would normally be that cannot be seen from the Neighborhood map without a camera mod.
I’ve run Hood Checker on the hood and it’s been cleaned, eliminated any and all traces of the Super Duper Hug Bug, used the Dresser Cleaner, and I ran the Mootilda’s Lot Compressor to reduce the file size.
I tried to keep the hood as empty as possible, but when I was taking out my mods to make sure the hood worked, I accidentally forgot to keep in the notownieregen mods when I loaded the hood... so a bunch of ugly townies and strays generated without me realizing it and I'd made too many changes to undo it. I changed their names in SimPE to give them more Shakespearean names but didn’t make any changes to them beyond that. I'm so sorry...
Every household should be synced to Sunday at 8:00 AM on the last day of Summer.
All the playable sims have memories, hobbies, interests, skills, aspiration benefits, etc. Hopefully, I didn’t go too overboard on skills and hobby enthusiasm but it’s an easy fix if you don’t like some of my choices. I tried to edit their starting wants… didn’t work out. Some of the sims' want trees might be a little wonky as a result. I’m also not skilled enough to write my own scripted events. Hopefully the story comes across well enough in the biographies, aspirations and relationships that it isn’t necessary. You can force the characters to follow the Shakespeare storylines or simply play them to see what happens on its own.
If anyone makes a Let’s Play of this hood you don’t need my permission, but I would love to watch it so it'd be great if you leave a comment to let me know when it's posted! :D
Hope you all enjoy!
