🌵 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! 💚
