Traveling Between Neighborhoods in The Sims 2 (PS2)
No Open World — Neighborhoods Are Separate Saves
The PS2 version divides the world into self-contained neighborhoods (Strangetown, Pleasantview, Veronaville, custom). You cannot walk/drive between them.
How "Travel" Works
Open menu → Travel.
Select target neighborhood.
Game loads that neighborhood as a new session — your current household stays behind.
You can play a different household in the new hood, or create one.
What You Can Visit Within a Neighborhood
Community lots: Downtown, shopping district, university (if EP), parks, clubs.
Other residential lots: Visit neighbors, throw parties, woohoo.
Think of Each Neighborhood as a Separate Save Slot
Progress, relationships, and simoleons don't transfer. Plan which hood to invest time in.
