View source for Tutorials:A quick guide to create your neighbourhood

====Roads and bridges====
There are two keyboard shortcuts that will speed things up here which are directly accessible in God Mode: '''R''' for road and '''B''' for bulldozer.

=====Roads=====
* The Sims 2 only accepts '''one''' type of road, the uh... '''Road'''. Streets, Highways, Avenues or Tunnels (or Train tracks for that matter) will not be carried over when you import the map into TS2.

* The Sims 2 only accepts horizontal and vertical roads. Diagonal roads will not appear in TS2.

Making roads on steep terrain will flatten the path to the lowest possible slope. A straight road is often the only way to climb a mountain. Sometimes you get a tunnel, but you don't want this as tunnels do not appear in TS2. Start laying out your road at the top of the hill then drag down from this point to avoid tunnels.

=====Spaces between roads=====
SC4 and TS2 squares are different. It's quite easy to convert though: 

Neighborhood (Nbr) SC4 squares are converted in ''2*Nbr TS2 squares + 1 TS2 square''

=====Bridges=====
Of course, you can make bridges. TS2 will convert only 2 types of bridges; the '''Small Arch''' and '''Level Road''' bridges. But only one type of bridge is allowed in each neighbourhood (consider each sub-hood as independent).

In standard SC4, building a bridge will raise the ground surrounding the foot of the bridge. This can cause several squares to be unusable for building. A useful mod is one that allows flat bridges, the ''Bridge Height Mod'' by joerg at [[http://www.simtropolis.com/modding/index.cfm?page=1]]

=====Funds=====
You must pay for each building action. If you are out of funds hold '''Ctrl+X ''' then type “''weaknesspays''” in the cheat box. This cheat adds §1000 to your treasury.
