Maps with too close roads may look smaller, for example Veronaville. Also Strangetown having 2 parallel roads at 1 square apart, plus 3 side roads, looks a very small city. However all other maps have the roads at about squares apart so a comparison using length of roads will be no problem. Sedona have 4 roads going to map edges so the actual city is very small, while Alpinoch have only 1 road going to road edge so the city looks huge, would be nice map if it was not hilly.
Note: All the photos shows lush or desert according default settings of game. All neighborhoods can be made lush, desert, dirt or concrete. Pleasantview SimCity terrain is different than the decorated Pleasantview. But as coincidence, road length is the same. The only neighborhood which partially match criteria is Pleasantview, but it is too small. So I usually build houses on better, player-made neighborhoods downloaded from ModTheSims.

The Sims 2 shipped with 3 pre-made neighborhoods. Seasons , Freetime , and Apartment Life are expansion packs that provide new neighborhoods.
Each neighborhood and sub-neighborhood comes with new pre-made Sims, though the ones in Downtown are all ghosts. The main aim of the game is to lead a Sim from the start of life to death. A Sim will be born when a female Sim and a male Sim try for a baby. The mother will spend 3 days pregnant before giving birth to a baby though cheats can be used to speed up pregnancy.
Players can name the new Sim. The baby will change into a toddler in 3 days, and 4 more days for the toddler to change into a child. After 8 days, the child morphs into a teenager , and will live 15 days before changing into an adult. After 29 days, the Sim will become an elder and will die, the length of the final stage depending on the aspiration bar when they age.
Babies, toddlers, children, teens, and adults can be advanced to their next life stage at any time during the 24 Sim hours before they will grow up automatically. For babies, this requires using the birthday cake. Toddlers, children, teens, and adults can use the "Grow Up" self-interaction.
If the University expansion pack is installed, teens have the option to go to college , where they will be young adults for approximately 24 days. A player will also need to make sure a Sim is happy and well by fulfilling wants including lifetime wants , avoiding fears , and fulfilling motives. Several new types of Sims are introduced in order to enhance gameplay for the user.
The new Sims that are introduced give the player more gameplay options and assists with the creation of player storylines. There are several activities for Sims to engage in that will help them fulfill their wants and needs. There are also objects and interactions in the game to assist Sims with performing these activities. There are several new social interactions introduced in The Sims 2. These new social interactions can create memories and can be related to certain age groups. Social interactions can come up in the Wants and Fears panel and can be dependent on the Sim's personality and aspiration.
Sims with certain personalities may not want to complete certain social interactions. Influencing social interactions are introduced in the University expansion pack. A Sim is able to influence another Sim to complete a social interaction or a chore.
Sims gain influence points by completing Wants and can lose influence points by completing Fears. The size of the influence bar depends on the number of friends that the Sim has. It also can grow in size with business perks from the Open for Business expansion pack. Teenagers and older are able to choose their turn-ons and turn-offs.
These determine the chemistry that one Sims has with another in the form of lightning bolts. Sims can have up to 3 lightning bolts with another Sim. The higher the chemistry is that a Sim has with another Sim, the greater the chance for social interactions to be accepted.
New turn-ons and turn-offs are introduced with the Bon Voyage expansion pack. Fury is introduced in the Nightlife expansion pack and occurs when one Sim gets angry at another. During this time relationships with the Sim who is furious are harder to build. Also, the Sim who is furious may pick a fight or vandalize the home lot of the Sim they are furious with. Reputation is introduced in the Apartment Life expansion pack. A Sim gains reputation by interacting with other Sims on community lots.
Sims with higher reputations are more likely to gain perks such as free objects and job promotions. There are several careers that come with the game that require skills and a certain number of friends in order for promotion.
Success in these careers unlocks career rewards and higher salaries plus bonuses. Sims also will receive chance cards. Correct answers to these chance cards will create rewards for Sims while incorrect answers could cause a Sim to lose its job. Nightlife and Apartment Life allow Sims to gain promotions through social interactions with other Sims. For a complete list of careers see Career Tracks.
There are several skills that Sims can build in order to fulfill their wants and needs. Some skills are hidden while some create talent badges. Hobbies are introduced in The Sims 2: FreeTime. Sims can choose any hobby they want to pursue but they will have one hobby that they will be better at.
