The Neighborhood Sim Lane is where it all begins. When the game opens, you are given a top-down view of a lovely community in Middle Simerica.
Several houses dot the landscape.
They are all potential domiciles for your new Sim family. By moving the pointer over the various houses, you will see the addresses, who lives in each home, the family's net worth and the number of friends they currently have. If you are hovering over an empty house, a pop-up window will list the address and how much it costs to move in. If you hover over an empty lot, the window will display the address and how much it costs. If you buy an empty lot, you'll still have to pay to build a home there.
