Is broad hollow available for download? It is really beautiful, I need a city neighborhood to download but I haven’t been able to find one :(.

Hey anon! Unfortunately, Broad Hollow is not for download. 😦 I’m not entirely sure it’s possible to share an occupied neighborhood, and even if it is, I’m beyond certain that it will make your game go ~boom~ (too much potential for corruption). However! I will be more than happy to point you in the direction of the resources I used to build it up myself. 🙂 

• The terrain is Avonlea by xbeccyx. It’s a lovely flat terrain with plenty of space for development and decorating. In retrospect, though, I probably should’ve picked a smaller terrain for an urban neighborhood – it’s difficult to get that dense, crowded city look when the terrain is so spacious. I have more space than I know what to do with. D: If you’d like to check out other terrains, voleste makes some of my favorites – I’m using Plockton for my university subhood at the moment. 🙂
• Hood deco is the real miracle worker for me! My building skills are abysmal, and there are a grand total of six residential lots and perhaps four or five community lots that I built in Broad Hollow – only the diner is located in the “urban” area. The rest is all hood deco! I basically just plunked random buildings down to surround the other lots in the area – it looks super haphazard in hood view, but it makes wonderful background scenery in lot view (good for screenshots!). My go-to creators for hood deco: CuriousB, Delonariel, Criquette.
• I tried to create most of the lots myself, but I find building to be very time-consuming – when I finally have a chance to Sim, I usually want to play or decorate. So, I raided the Sims Community Project to find some CC-free lots that I could plunk down and re-decorate as I needed. 🙂 I have Bumblebee Square by allisas, Simqualizer Nightclub by immlegacy, and Plumbbob Park by slyndseysims. 🙂

Here is a crappy diagram. 😀

Pink circles are my own lots (wow, much box, so talent), green circles are lots I’ve downloaded from others. The rest is the magic of HOOD DECO! and my sad attempt at landscaping with trees. (Seriously, look at all the trees. I DON’T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO WITH ALL THIS SPACE.)

I hope that helps you, anon! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. 😀
