Flagg Park

This is Flagg Park, an apartment lot of five units -- although the game only allows for a maximum of four playable apartments per lot, filling in the one remaining with a non-playable character. The trailers you see here all have identical interior layouts, which are modified versions of a trailer I spotted nearly a decade ago on one of the first Sims 1 fansites, called "Coasters". I may elaborate on the Coasters layout later on. Ironically, although trailers are regarded as low-income housing,  the game's engine generates apartment costs and NPC neighbors based on the amount of floorspace -- with more floorspace responsible for higher rents and higher-class neighbors. The NPC neighbors generated by this lot are (oddly enough) very middle class -- business executives, medical specialists, and the like. I wanted Flagg Park -- kudos to you if you can guess at the origins of that name -- to be a community of lower-income Sims, and as you can see, there are spaces for the neighbors' kids to get together and play. At the back of the lot, you can see that the lot itself is not quite level with the surrounding area, so there's a ridge. I made that look believable by making it gravel-y.

Currently I have four families living here: the Picasos, seen here are the only Maxis-made family.
