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

I’m so excited to finally share my latest project with you! New Mexico is a custom hood heavily inspired by the vibe 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.

🔍 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 hood uses items from The Sims 2 Store and official pre-order bonuses. To make sure all the lots and Sims show up right in your game (also, remember to delete the IKEA chairs!), you can download the full collection here:

I’m a massive fan of the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul universe, so I’ve put a lot of love into this project. I hope you have a lot of fun playing it and truly enjoy your trip to New Mexico!

Happy simming! 💚
