How to use a custom Neighbourhood Terrain.
As you will see, on most of my maps the roads go right to the edges. I use a simple hack which lets me play to the very edge of the map, but if you do not then you will only see the central area of the map. It's a simple adjustment to the cameras text file and works fine for me with ALL versions of Sims 2. If you want to use these Hoods without the camera hack, they will work perfectly well, but you will have less space to build on.

If you have SimCity 4, SimCity 4 Deluxe or SimCity 4 and SimCity Rush Hour, do have a go at making your own Neighbourhood. It's a lot of fun.
