I spent my formative years - ages 8 through 18 - in a place called Spring Hill, Florida. At that time it was just a "place" ...not yet incorporated into a town - still with dirt roads if you veered too far off from the main boulevard. It had one school, one small grocery, and one gas station with a convenience store - oh, thank Heaven! The whole development was designed as a "retirement" community, meant to entice New Yorkers to buy their Florida-dream-opportunity sight unseen, and move down to the land of eternal sunshine. (And many did!)

In my angsty teenage years I was fond of calling it 'Sprung Hell' - with a HUGE eyeroll. I couldn't wait to move out and go off to Uni, some place far, far away.

...and I did.
And I didn't look back for a loooong time.

My folks still live there. In a different house, now. And, as they are getting up in years, I have been visiting more and more. And, with each visit, I am reminded that I really ought to sim this place! So... here we have a Sims 2 utopized map of a mid-century Florida-esque housing development. NOTE: There is very little resemblance to the now bustling RL town; but my memories were indeed the inspiration for this map.

It is purposely a very flat map. Several of the RL properties have hand-dug wells (I'm talking: dug with a garden shovel and a water hose! The water table is only 6 feet down in many places!) Because of this, I don't recommend building basements on this map. None of the original RL houses have basements.

I am using the different areas of the map like this for my finished Sameville neighborhood:

SC4 doesn't let me make a proper cul-de-sac, but they are ubiquitous there! So, I did the best SC4 would let me do; and when I finish making up the playable hood, each cul-de-sac center will be a community park area.

If you want more insight into the Real Life area - here is the wiki link: Spring Hill

You may use this map however you'd like, of course!
Below is the undecorated version that comes in the download:

Stay tuned: I will be uploading 14 different model homes for this hood, based on RL houses from my era of experience living here.

...And, when I get the whole hood tricked out, I plan to offer it up as a complete hood/sub-hood for you to download and play.

Enjoy!
