🌵 New Mexico – A Custom Neighborhood for The Sims 2 [+Scripted Events]

I am thrilled to finally share my latest project with you: New Mexico, a custom neighborhood heavily inspired by the worlds of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

Step into a sun-scorched desert landscape where the laws are relative, and every Sim has a secret to hide. Experience everything from the high-stakes drama of the criminal underworld to quiet, yet suspicious, suburban lives.

[ DOWNLOAD (ENG) | MAINHOOD ]

[ POLISH VERSION | PL ]

🔍 What’s the Story?

The neighborhood is built around a central mystery involving the Gardeners' Club—a powerful organization rumored to be behind the strange disappearances of local teenagers. Between a corrupt Mayor, a fierce dietary war (chicken vs. vegetables!), and shady business deals, you’ll find plenty of drama to explore.

👥 The Cast of Characters

Meet the legendary families, fully recreated with custom memories, relationships, and skills:

The White Family: Walter, a brilliant but frustrated chemistry teacher, and his family.

The Salamanca Family: Led by uncle Hector, this ruthless clan controls the local "oregano" market.

The Schraders: Meet a tough DEA agent with a passion for minerals and his purple-obsessed wife.

The Pinkmans: Their rebellious son is desperately trying to escape his parents' strict expectations.

Saul Goodman: Albuquerque's most colorful lawyer who always has a "plan."

Gustavo Fring: Cold and professional, he runs a chicken empire as a brilliant front for his revenge ...and many more, including Mike Ehrmantraut, Kim Wexler, and even the crew from High School Musical!

🏘️ Locations

Explore custom-built lots, including:

Los Pollos Hermanos – Perfectly clean tables and a smiling staff hiding dark secrets.

The Dog House – The best hot dogs in town, but the atmosphere is thick with suspicion.

Belize Retirement Home – Is it just a peaceful place for seniors, or where the past finally catches up with its heroes?

Goodman’s Plaza – Paradise for shopaholics and home to a very "colorful" legal office.

Lavandería Brillante – This spotless industrial laundry definitely has nothing hidden in the basement...

⚙️ Technical Information

Compatibility: Created using The Sims 2: Ultimate Collection.

Features: Each Sim has a unique biography and a carefully crafted memory log to tell their story from the moment you start playing.

Important: For the best experience, I recommend using mods that prevent memory loss for townies and allow for viewing furnished apartments. (See ReadMe.txt)

Required content: This neighborhood utilizes items from The Sims 2 Store and Pre-order bonuses. To ensure all lots and Sims display correctly (please remember to delete the IKEA chairs), download the full collection here:

As a huge fan of the Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul universe, I’ve put a lot of heart into this project. I hope you have as much fun playing it as I had building it, and that you truly enjoy this journey to New Mexico!

Happy simming! 💚

some nice neutral coordinated textures by SimmieV on these meshes by Lucilla because I think it's lovely but it just needed a little sprucing up of the textures for me. :3 (one additional colour not shown here)

Avril by Ade with Ombres for The Sims 2

TF - EF

My own Hair System

All Naturals with 9 different Ombres for each. Not binned, will appear in Customs.

Cloud Texture

Polycount: F: 7840 / V: 5754

Mesh Included Credits: Martini, Osab, Digi, SkittlesSims, BlackSwan-Sims, FurbyQ & Ade

I created 9 Ombres for each Natural hair. So you get 36 Files. I didn't merge them, so you can pick and choose. I also added pictures so you can easily decide what you want to keep and not to keep. If interest arises, I can bin them. I just didn't because I usually don't like anything that isn't a natural color in the bin tab. You can also bin them yourself using CatOfEvilGenius' Hair Binner. The Ombre colors were created using SkittlesSims unnaturals.

Compressed & Tooltipped.

(You can find Naturals only of this hair here)

The Sims 2 Purple Flashing Patch

(yes, PURPLE, because I always saw it as purple and the shader name is literally called the purple error shader. Sue me!!)

Just in case anyone missed it, "pink flashing" in The Sims 2 has finally been busted wide open by a lovely chap named Will Nixon, see here.

I thoroughly recommend reading through the entire dissertation pdf, it's a good read! Even if your eyes glaze over and you skim past the super technical computer engineering jargon, you'll pick up some interesting tidbits from it. Just wanted to share that

1) the patch is fully compatible with Linux and works to improve Linux performance even further, as testing by myself and my dear friend @niamh-sims

2) Some screenshots from testing my medieval hood on Windows 11:

No patch:

With patch:

I also stress-tested the hood by loading into the main Castle lot and having a sim travel between 4-5 different lots with my settings on max. (This is how I play on Linux now so I've gotten used to it, no more turning neighbours and hood deco off for me!!)

Without the patch in, the game crashed and wouldn't load the castle lot for me at ALL, so that was a great start.

Ooft, lol.

With the patch in, I could load into the castle and travel freely around the hood. I noted that that game also generally felt smoother.

This is an absolute breakthrough, people. Linux is no longer absolutely required if you want to play TS2 without pink flashing! Get excited!!

I will personally continue to play on Linux because I honestly enjoy the OS and prefer it over Windows, and my game still loads faster and runs smoother on Linux, but I recommend every simmer download Will's patch (V1 or V2, but V2 is likely safer) and keep it in your essential mods list forever.

I've had this patch in my game since it came out, and my god what a difference.

I've had my game running for 3 full days and not one crash or pink soup. I've changed Sims appearances without crashing.

I've even added CC that I avoided just because I knew my game couldn't handle it, and I've had no problems.

This patch is amazing. I'm so excited to play my game again without the fear of crashing!

Does anyone know if any of the mods listed here have a different (newer) version for AL/MG? I just started using Legacy Collection with Crossover/Steam and cannot for the life of me figure out why I keep getting this error (under the cut)

GoS issues

The server GoS was hosted on had a drive failure. It was moved pretty quickly to a new drive. The issue now is that GoS uses verion 1.1.21 of smf while s2a uses 2.0.17 (needs small update). Both of those use two different versions of php. I had some fixes in place from last year when the sites were migrated last time, but none are working right now. Host insists I need to upgrade even though both smf sites were working fine before the drive failure. I'm highly annoyed. Hosting renewal is due end of May and if the upgrade to 2.1.19 of GoS fails, then I will not be renewing the hosting. I will continue to see if I can figure out a band aid fix, but will attempt the upgrade probably in May.

This means GoS and Sims2Artists will both close end of May if the update fails. Hugelunatic will move to a free wordpress hosting. All content on GoS was hosted off site, images and files, so the content still exists.

i come bearing gifts for your sim kids and kids-at-heart! 18 recolors of the dala horse from freetime, 8 recolors of the base game teddy bear, and 2 gingham recolors of the tres rug from k&b stuff! ⭐ DOWNLOAD SFS \ BOX more pics and info under the cut!

here is a pic of all the recolors the set comes with! - you get various color combos of the my little pony horse, and I used @pforestsims shine removal kit to give them a matte plastic finish. - some of the little booty symbols are just random ones i drew, and some are from the game icons like the peace sign and bff symbol -you get a red gingham and a light blue gingham recolor of the tres rug to kind of look like a vinyl mat maybe for a kitchen/craft room/retail space etc. -you also get four cute teddy bears who have glasses that match their overalls. now your little sim kids with glasses can have a bear to match! - then you get two super kooky hippie bears with colored sunglasses, and two cute little tie dye bears without glasses at all!

- the bears have dirty/worn states (theoretically, i must admit i didn't take the time to see it for myself and you apparently can't shift click to set a teddy bear worn the way you can set a toilet to be dirty etc.) i hope you like everything! i had a lot of fun making them, and thanks to @angelapleasant for organizing the advent!! i should also have another surprise coming your way very soon hopefully later tonight or tmrw....👀
