Neighborhood 1

Neighborhood 1 is the first neighborhood that was introduced in The Sims. It's comprised of a single street, known as Sim Lane, and it is said to be located in the greater SimCity area. 
The neighborhood is built around a single road shaped like a square ascending a large hill. A river runs through the area, and a wooden sign promoting "The Sims" (or Sim People in the Asian localization) is situated at the bottom of the map which displays the game's credits when selected. A small avenue connects Sim Lane to another road. In The Sims: Unleashed, Sim Lane is incorporated into Old Town and comprises the upper-right-most quadrant of the expanded map, with the road that Sim Lane connects to revealed to be Elm Street. The large sign is relocated to an island much further down the river.
The Sims: Livin' Large and The Sims: House Party introduce multiple new neighborhoods identical to Neighborhood 1, but is unpopulated and empty. Neighborhood 2 is the only other populated neighborhood, featuring the Mashuga family.
Before being referred to as part of Old Town, the neighborhood had no official name and the community often referred to it as "SimVille". The area is suggested to have been redeveloped into Pleasantview by the time of The Sims 2, while The Sims 3 suggests that the town was originally Sunset Valley.

==Trivia==
*In Asian locale versions of The Sims, several Sims are redesigned with an Asian appearance, and the houses feature Japanese-style walls and black rooftops. In Europe, most of the houses were redesigned to have terracotta rooftops, peach stucco, and the roads lack sidewalks and road markings.
*In any version of the game, when the language is set to anything other than US English, the roads in the neighborhood screen will change into a totally black streets without road markings. There are also some terrain modifications and some different shapes in general. IUS English is selected, the roads will be grey with road markings.
**These changes will only affect the neighborhood screen, due to the fact that road markings on lots depend on the version of the game.
