This is something that used to bug the hell out of me until I figured what caused it, and found out how to fix it. Maybe you all know this already, but maybe there's some people out there that'll be helped by this :)

You've probably come along some houses, that in the lotview look perfectly fine, like this:



But when you look at them in the neighbourhood view, they seem to have a wall missing, like so:



Annoying, right? It looks fine in the lotview, then why does the neighbourhoodview think you left in a big damn gap?

Soooo yeah. I have this annoying habit of totally making my mind up about something, and then changing it the next day. It happens. I played around in the Megahood a little, but got rather overwhelmed by all those families. It's lovely to play, and really gives you a sense of community and interconnection between sims, but boy does it take ages to get through a single round!

Then I remembered I had a file laying around of the Pleasantview-Strangetown merged hood that <lj user="meetme2theriver"> made for me (thanks again for that!). It hadn't been played, aside from doing a make-over for all the sims in it. (You can see the make-overs at the 'hood party here.) I put it in my game, started playing, and I'm totally loving it.

It's entirely possible that I'll switch back to the Megahood at some point. Who knows? For now though, I hope you enjoy this update of Strangely Pleasant as much as I did playing it :)
