Default Ellu's Hoods
I have several, so I could not name one in the title

And I have never ever made my own mainhood, so in my case it is allways like "someone elses hoods in your game"

Subhoods, tho , I have done several during the years, gladly I do not have pics most of the early ones

I run my game in empty environment, so starting a new hood is a time consuming to me, as I will make all the townies, tourist , locals myself, BUT I also like doing challenges (with twisted rules)
So , the result was, instead just making townies fast, I wanted somehow know them too.. so I made an empty (from sims, all lots ready to go) shoppingdistrict for my personal use, the one I can attach to any hood if I wish. I decided to start a long journey to make my townies...



And LOL no, I am not doing it like this everytime, Bluehaven is the first and may be the last one I will do it like this

Sorry about my long post, and grammar errors, english is indeed not my native language Here is a pic of my apoc-subhood


EDIT: lots of typos

I love the desolate and isolated ambiance the hood has. The snow greatly supplements the hood's industrial feel. Overall, wonderful job. Your methods of adding sims also sounded quite effective as well. I wish I were capable of this Your asylum challenge sounded pretty cool too!

Thank you

Here i took couple of pics of the founders lot (these have lifted medicine and culinary allready, and had twins, 2 pets, so those custom box-gridss were handy, as well as the pile of boxes what is a poor sim's changing table )

I really love your founder's lot. It looks both depressing and unconventional at the same time. It has a very disheveled or repurposed look! Nice job overall!

Wow, I love that apocalypse town! That's a cool idea, to move them into a 'normal' neighbourhood once they get through the apocalypse.

Glad to hear of someone else who found a use for Bluehaven too- I had a blast building that but never really played it (too big and too 'nice'! )

Looking forward to seeing some more pics and hearing about the sims themselves. :lovestruc

Am I also allowed to post pics of the hoods I am currently building? Or is it strictly for the hoods I play?

Aww, Bluehaven looks nice with those skies! You also did some landscaping. :lovestruc :lovestruc

I would say that there are no rules here- pretty sure we would all like to see your new neighbourhood, too!

Wow, Blue Haven looks amazing!
Did you use the zombie mod in your apoc challenge?

ETA: this group was created for us to showcase what we want about our hoods.

@simsample, only the tree-defaults (lowedeus) and that boat , ohh and the slower placement of clouds, the thing looked good only in waterfalls, so I was super exited to finally use that hooddeco. I have had it for ages.

@Essa , no I did not, I would of certanly did if playing only apoc.challenge, but I really did not want to have zombies ar Bluehaven

Your English is fairly good, no worries. Also most of us understand typos.

The way you got started sounds very involved, not something I would ever do, but it made for interesting reading. Your pictures are great. I am looking forward to more.

@lordtyger9 , thank you
And really Blue Haven is the first time I am doing it like this, so long process indeed, currently starting my second last apoc challenge .
The other families are at Blue Haven , just put them to their lots , did not played at all .
As in apoc hood the 4 community lots allow townies only , and I have the "bring home dialog"-mod do if the kid tries to bring playable from Blue Haven back from school, is simply denie it And if someone bring a playable from work who is not a townie, I simply say goodbye right when it is possible


Okies, that's about that , I am currently making 2 new hoods (some day to share).
A tropical vacation destination, called Volcano Island. This is the one I have been doing for few months, but it is still in very beginning, as it is my "escape" from my primary project (takes place in totally opposite weather, winter , winter.... what was allmost finished but, because of certain things I had to allmost completely start it from fresh ).
Only 4 lots "finished" so far.. and as I play at empty environment, I like to make 4-5 lots before testing , so I do not have to allow/dissallow stealthhoods all the time.
And even these arent finished, realised some missing wallpapers when I took these shots.. aah well

pic-heavy

How lovely!

Your neighborhoods turned out to be amazing! :lovestruc

By the way, I'd hate to wear such a wool pullover in summer, especially when you're on a tropical island!
That must be very brave of Sasha!

AHhh I am such a sucker for people who are able to put time into making custom vacay hoods! Love that port and marina you have set up with neighborhood deco. So cool!!! Also I forgot to comment before but your neighborhood looks so good and organized!

I can't express how much I love that pyramid lot! That is really well done. The custom content you're using is lovely, as well. Really like those tropical huts and the all the coordinating furniture. Good luck with your hood!

Yes that pyramid was hard for me to do I had to redo it so many times.

Now again back doing my winterthing, but when I get freezing enough by winter-theme, I escape to Volcano Island

So beautiful! I would love to travel there now ) Ever thought of uploading it ? (If not, then it's okay, I don't mean to pressure you-I just really love it!) Anyways, the landscape is rather halcyon, and reminiscent of postcard depictions of Eastern Asia. I love your incorporation of cherry blossoms, to truly depict a wonderful Asian vacation destination! 10/10

@Emperor Crat , I am sorry I cannot, as I mentioned 98% of the lots are done by other people

@joandsarah77 , here There must be yummy fishes in that bond, my sim did not ask anyone to join her, but seemed that every sim had to go fishing
