Could you send a link to these trees so that they look like yours? I downloaded it once but I can't find it now

Boo did I scare you? No? Uh maybe next time it will work...

A few things to improve
I downloaded this neighborhood and found a few things to "improve/fix"
I checked all the families and locations. I'll start with the "main things":
  • I noticed that in almost every house there is one floor for the whole house (except bathrooms), nothing, but it would look nice if they were laid in a different direction, maybe
  • Each family has a different starting time(?)
  • Families don't have many memories (I know you didn't focus on that, but it would be nice if they had a few more)
  • Only a few empty plots (there are only two empty houses and expensive ones at that), some smaller houses would be useful so that poorer sims could also live there

Okay! Now things I noticed in families (in their homes) :
  • "Scooter" family: I noticed that parents didn't have any bed
  • "Maxwell" family: I noticed some unpainted walls (used CC?), some pieces of furniture are missing, some windows "don't work"
  • "Rogers" family: No floor in the bathroom (used CC?)
  • "Little' family: They have a huge garage but there is no car in it, is something missing or was it supposed to be like this? No sofa in the living room (used CC?)
  • "Dempsey" family: There's a red armchair in the garden... is that how it's supposed to be?
  • "Grimes" family: Some windows "don't work"
  • "Booth" family: Some windows "don't work",unpainted walls (used CC?)
  • Plot "Post Mall": No floor in one of the rooms (used CC?)

The things that I liked were definitely the church, it was super decorated and stole my heart! I love also the style in which the houses were built. The whole surroundings look very nice. I am attaching some attachments where you can see the "problems" I wrote about.

Oh wow that's a lot of stuff OK, let's see:

The memories, yes, just as I mentioned in the description, messing with those would've required using SimPE and I just didn't want to go this advanced for my first hood lol
But I do wanna get into that if I ever make another one.

The starting time - I just didn't think it was relevant since there's no scripts or anything so the time or the playing order doesn't matter.

The floors - that's just something I do quite often in my builds, concider it part of my style

The empty lots - sToP BEing PooR, JusT eaRn some MoNey oMg /jkjk yeah, there are no starter lots, but to be fair there is a lot that is like completely empty, so... at least there's that heh.

The windows - that's a normal thing to happen with stuff that was placed with moveobjects on and is very easy to fix, just grab the window and the object that is "getting in its way", so to say, and just place them back :D

Now the missing stuff - I can't check it atm since I'm not at home (typing all this from my phone is a nightmare tbh lol), but I'm almost sure that all of the furniture and floors/walls that are missing came from the Ikea pack... Are you sure you have that one installed?

Now what bothers me is the Little's garage because it's not supposed to be empty, it had two cars and that toy making thing and some shelves from OFB... I think there were also H&M curtains...
Gonna look into that when I get home

Also tysm for the feedback, really appreciate it <3

OH and the red armchair, yes, it is supposed to be there, it's just the spot where Velma likes to chill and think of how her existence has no meaning lol.

Ok I just got home, downloaded the hood and yep, just as I thought, all of the stuff that is missing in your game came with the Ikea pack.

I also checked the Little's garage and everything seems to be fine? I honestly don't know what might be the issue there...

Oh that's quite strange because I have all the things in the game that should be in the garage and they are not there lol thank you for the answer, now I know what the garage looks like, I'll add things there myself hahaha And as for the Ikea package, I think I'll have to download it again because there's something wrong with it, do you have a good place where I can download it?

Boo did I scare you? No? Uh maybe next time it will work...

I found this neighborhood very cute. Could you include the SC4 file in your download as well? I was hoping to recreate this hood as a suburb.

Hi! I downloaded the neighborhood and it looks great! One thing I did notice, however, is that the sims in the family bin are written in a different language just for this neighborhood? Do you play the game in a different language and maybe that is why?

here is a photo for reference

Oh yep! My game is indeed in a different language lol
I was actually wondering if that was gonna affect anything and if there's a possibility of any of the data being carried with the hood and welp, now we know that it is possible *takes notes*

Thanks! And sure, here you go. I couldn't upload it in the download for some reason, so I put it on my google drive instead: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_5...iew?usp=sharing

Unsure if I did something wrong when putting this into my game. It isn't showing up in game. I put it in the neighborhoods folder as N004.

It should be N006 since all the files in the folder are reffering to this specific neighborhood number (at least that's how I understand it), otherwise it won't show up

But if someone has a hood already with that number N006 you can still rename the Neighborhood and all files in it with the Bulk Rename Utility.
