A while ago I started up this little project purely for my own amusement. I'd always wondered if there was some larger simworld out there in which the seperate hoods were situated, rather than them being floating squares in the middle of nothing. How do you get from Pleasantview to Bluewater Village? Where is the elusive Sim City located? The Road to Nowhere might go nowhere, but where does it come from?

So I popped open SC4 and decided I'd try and figure it out. The map that was created in the process isn't based on anything except my imagination, and the 'climates' different hoods seem to have. With regards to the Megahood, I still think it's an interesting idea, even though I'm not sure anymore if the layout I created back then corresponds with how I now think about the layout of SimNation.

Here's a preview of how it looks in SC4:

Emboldened by my success with the Multi-PT hack, I've been doing some more careful pottering around in SimPE, and today I can bring you an agemod, which is super easy to make, or I wouldn't have been able to do it ^^ The agemod changes your sim's lifestage length so that 1 sim day is the equivalent of 1 year in real time. I figured I might as well share, in case anyone was interested in it.
