I recently downloaded the old version of meetme2theriver's Uberhood, and have been playing a lot of Sims 2 ever since. I've had a lot of fun with it making up stories with such a wide and varied cast, and it's been really entertaining.
Currently, I've played Antonio Monty's family, Marinella Contender (FKA Carlos), the Greenmans, a little bit of the Ottomas family, Natasha Una, the Brokes, and the Curious brothers.
