I'm very glad to see that what went wrong with Capricorn Valley didn't scare you away from creating hoods!

Can you post the names of every sim? Some of them got scrambled in my game, at least I'm pretty sure the mother from the Grosse family is not named Alex Schneider. I'd like to give them their correct names with SimBlender.

I had the same problem with the downloadable families from maxon's Polgannon. It's an issue with different game languages. Apparently it's possible to fix it for the download, not sure how though.

Oh, I'm exited to explore this hood! Thank you very much!

Congratulations on getting your new neighborhood approved. If the characters and stories in New Arlestown are as interesting as the ones in Capricorn Valley were, I'm sure I'll enjoy it!

I really loved everything in Capricorn Valley, and I am so happy that you could learn from it. Really looking forward to playing the hood, because it looks SO AWESOME!

Thank you so much! And yes, I knew that with the knowledge of what went wrong I'd be able to make something better! (and safer)

Yay! Some of the families from Capricorn Valley I have taken inspiration from and used for this hood such as the Debeit family for instance.

The Orphanage and the Retirement Home both use University dorm cooks. You need to make it clear that a mod is required for this to work properly and provide a link to the mod (Inge's Shiny Tyme NPC Everywhere Patch).

When I loaded the Allen house, the Buy and Build buttons were greyed-out. I thought something was wrong with the lot until I realized that there was a burglary in progress and those buttons are supposed to be unusable when that happens.

@cutupuss , not corruption , but you can easely fix it in your download, so the names will show up correctly for all languages.

-open sim's character file in SimPE ,

-in Catalog Description, click on the text file

-in Plugin View, choose "Default lang only"

-commit, save and repeat with every sims character file.
That's it

The mod isn't required for it to work! I've tested it without the mod and they are still assigned. I'll look into it a bit more to see if there's any problems however I will definitely add credit to the creator of the mod, thanks for the reminder!

And yes, the Allen house is supposed to have a burglary upon opening the household for the first time, but since nobody knows how to create scripted events/ anyone who did know didn't help me the only way I could have this happen was to save the game just as the burglar is loaded into the lot.

I might end up doing that, because I just noticed that most dead sims are affected. On the other hand, Poppy Grosse's husband being called Tabea Wolosenko is pretty funny. Her sister's name is currently Nikolaus, because I haven't gotten around to fixing her household.

It's very good job done there! I'm fan of Capricorn Valley, but I'm bigger fan of New Arlestown now! How did you got an idea for Trajique's familly tree?

Thank you! I'm not sure what I was inspired by really, I like pushing the sims 2 to the limits and I like doing experiments with it, so I wanted to see how genetics worked when you mixed it with someone and their great grandfather

I never knew the dorm cook would show up without Inge's mod! I guess that when I first discovered the mod, I just assumed it was required for the dorm cook to function.

It's okay about the burglar. It just took me a moment to realize what was happening. I guess I'm a bit paranoid because I've seen those buttons greyed out after a lot loads in other neighborhoods in my game and it usually means something's really wrong with the lot.

I haven't had time yet to do more than glance at a few households, but this looks like it's going to be a really fun neighborhood! Thanks again for sharing it with us!

I like how the Allen family house is a reference to the Baxter house from Waterside

Yay thank you for noticing! I love the style of base game/beta lots so I wanted to bring it back from the dead! Especially with the red concrete

No problem thanks for reminding me about the credit 😁

i'm really enjoying this neighborhood so far. i'm so excited to play all of the families and cause even more drama! and i love the townies, lol. i'm talking about you "Bada Hairline". lmfao

Yay I'm glad you like it!

What families have you played so far?

Thank you for sharing this! I really love all of it! The neighborhood, the houses and the unique storyline (especially Aasim Trajique's)

Thank you! Yes, Aasim's story is my favourite and I love how the game's dis-acknowledgement of great grandfathers being related helps support the story too

I haven't had much time to play this neighborhood, but from what I've seen so far - I'm impressed. Relationships are so complicated, the plot so mysterious. Makes you wanna play! I wonder how much time it took to create such detailed hood...
