Seiki's Previous Update / Ono Family Previous Update
This is a mini-update.
This is the neighborhood (open world segment) that the Ono's live in. The green house in the foreground is the only house I left standing, that shipped with the game. It looked a lot like the Endeavor's house did in Sims 2, and I loved the placement right next to the children's park (as it was in Sims 2). It's fun to imagine Simone taking Sienna and Charlotte out to the park. I renovated the interior and a little bit to the exterior front.
Across from the Endeavors (next to the Ono's) I will probably build Laney and Declan's house. There is a community garden behind that lot. The last lot, I currently plan to be the location of Simdale Valley Church (and graveyard). I will probably wait a bit to see if graveyards are added to the game before building it.
The Ono's are the first family to make the move from Sims 2 to Sims 4. Their house is pretty close to the way it looked before; except before it sat on a bluff overlooking Port Prominence Bay. In this world, the commercial area and one residential lot overlook Port Prominence Bay and the other homes are on rivers or canals.
One of the proposed expansions (in the survey that was circulated by EA) would allow players to customize their worlds more. That's one I most hope is made reality eventually.
