It should be no surprise to let you know that there are some new neighborhood decorations with this expansion.

The Monorail is my favourite and placed correctly can run through your entire map. It also comes with moving monorail trains.

There are also some new clumps of trees for those who wish to add a few trees but not as many as a small wood. As well as these, there is a cooling tower, found at most power stations, a carousel (roundabout) and some stone age monoliths not dissimilar to stonehenge for those who wish to add some more history to their hoods.

Instead of a new neighborhood to familiarise us with the new concepts, there are three new community lots and three households in the lot bin. One of these households is the obligatory "cat lady", although she only has two cats and one kitten rather than having a house full of them. Also, there are two families in the sim bin. One is "one man and his dog" and the other is family made up of just a dog and cat, available to a good home and with §200 added to the budget.

Now we know what there is out there in the neighborhood, let is move swiftly on to examine what is at the heart of this expansion.
