The website says...
"The volumes that contain each separate zone have a single aperture from which each sun-lighting event can be enjoyed. Each of the volumes is slightly elevated and independent from the others, requiring a desert walk on footpaths to move between them. These paths connect visitors to the land and reinforce the house’s purposeful isolation. Our desire to care for the site’s fragile nature prompted the elevation of the volumes, allowing water and animals to move freely beneath them. This way, the landscape of eons ago remains as undisturbed as possible despite this strong visual intervention."😉

Douglasville 1.1 - Arizona neighborhood with pulp storyline for The Sims 2!
Douglasville is a TS2 almost-cc-free neighborhood based on the Spanish videogame Runaway: A Road Adventure.
This neighborhood is set in the fictional region of the Simrizona Desert and it features: beautiful canyon landscapes, a colorful bunch of characters with unique stories and personalities, a treasure hunt, lots inspired by Mexican and Western false front architecture!
Info and download under the cut
Douglasville allows players to let their creativity loose as they decide the paths of the strange characters who inhabit this land: you will have to make choices, pick a side and let the other sink in this greedy treasure hunt who will probably end up in a few casualties. This neighborhood can be a great start for a Build a City Challenge with a few adjustments, or you can keep Douglasville as it is: a small, dilapidated ghost town for the lonely wolves. Speaking of wolves, be careful because you will find a pack of mexican wolves hunting around the area! The main features of Douglasville are:
◉ A desertic neighborhood decorated with the amazingly beautiful Canyon Pack by Kridershot. Enjoy these ARIZONA-INSPIRED LANDSCAPES, if you can fight the heat and the hungry wolves!
◉ 7 HOUSEHOLDS + 2 SIMS IN THE BIN, all characterized by unique backgrounds and, sometimes, featuring storytelling props in their inventories to help you get involved with their stories.
◉ A TREASURE HUNT! The terrible thugs Gustav and Feodor are searching for the Hopi treasure and they have reason to believe Gina Timmins knows something about it. Who will get their greedy hands on the treasure first?
◉ Lots were built in MEXICAN AND WESTERN-FALSE-FRONT STYLES to correctly convey the atmosphere of the United States' South West area. The hood features ONE STARTER HOME to help you include your own sims in the run for the treasure!
Before downloading, I need to give you some warnings:
⚠ This neighborhood includes references to an existing indigenous tribe from North America: the Hopi Tribe. This is directly taken from the videogame Runaway and it's something I decided to keep. I am not Hopi, so my knowledge is limited, and I did what I could with no custom content. It's important for me to specify that I don't want this neighborhood to disrespect native American tribes in any way.
⚠ There are three drag queens living in Douglasville. To keep custom content to a minimum, I decided to create them as women and change their gender behaviour through SimPE (they have male voices, will pee standing and sexually reproduce as men). If you want to be more realistic, you can change their gender to male and dress them up with custom clothes.
⚠ You need a CAMERA MOD. The neighborhood is big and there are lots on the borders of the map, so without a camera mod you would not be able to play the hood as intended.
Below you will find two download links:
“DGVL” is the neighborhood folder and it must be extracted in Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Neighborhoods.
“Douglasville_CC” is the folder containing a small amount of CC required for the neighborhood to appear as intended. It must be extracted in Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Downloads. Everything has been sorted in labelled folders to help you organize your cc.

The storytelling picture where Gina is running from Gustav and Feodor is set in Katatty's Downtown! Also, thanks to every single person who commented, reblogged, liked and followed this project over these weeks! I am extremely eager to see what you all do with this neighborhood, so feel free to provide feedback or tag me if you share gameplay pictures :) Hugs from Italy!
finally decided to try creating a desert ‘hood 🌴 it was really challenging to think of stuff to place everywhere, but I guess I’m kinda satisfied with how it turned out ⛅️ I have yet to build my own lots!
Douglasville is a pre-decorated desertic neighborhood, using Kridershot's Canyon Mod Pack to create the perfect Grand Canyon setting.
Info and download under the cut
Douglasville has been created with clean, empty templates so it has 0 sims and no secret subhoods. I used patul's Once Upon a Time in West sc4 as a base but I heavily edited the terrain, mainly to make the area with roads flat.
This version of Douglasville features 0 lots: this is simply a pre-decorated neighborhood. You can do whatever you want with it: start a Build a City Challenge, move all your Strangetown or Sedona favourite premades here, build an alien colony in the middle of Arizona... please, just remember to credit me if you want to upload your edited version of Douglasville :P
In the future I will publish a populated Douglasville with characters from Runaway: A Road Adventure. I loved this game when I was younger and I can't wait to recreate Sushi Douglas and all the other crazy personalities from this game into TS2! But first, I have to finish Pleasantfort :P Too many projects at once! LOL
REQUIREMENTS:
◉ Canyon Mod Pack by Kridershot
◉ Desert Skyline by greatcheesecakepersona
◉ Totalitarian Sky (Rise of Communism) by Lowedeus
Make sure to download the required custom content or the neighborhood will not look as intended!

Mama Dorita's House. Mama Dorita is a medium and natural healer living in a pueblo outside of Douglasville. She is an old woman, and the big guy Oscar takes good care of her.
I have finished introducing the main lots of Douglasville. In the future you will meet the inhabitants and then the neighborhood will be available for download! :3
The campsite in the crater. This is where the odd Joshua is currently camped, trying in every possible way to contact what he claims to be an extraterrestrial species living on Planet Trantor.
(This is a roadless lot and I'm kinda thrilled :) I love the concept of lots being far from streets, I imagine sims having to hike to get to them! I really want to do more in the future)
