Is Desiderata Valley Actually UGLY? (Sims 2)

The Sims 2 is Desiderata Valley actually ugly? The FreeTime pack brought us many amazing features that have become a staple in the series. The hobby system, for example, adds a new dimension to our Sims' personalities. Thanks to these immersive additions, the expansion pack has quickly become a fan favorite. However, the pack also introduced a neighborhood that is, by most accounts, uninspiring at best. From the lack of intricate lore to questionable builds, it seems the Sims community almost unanimously agrees Desiderata Valley is the weakest neighborhood in the game by some margin.

In this video, I take a look at all the Desiderata Valley builds to see if the neighborhood is as bad as it's been suggested. My ratings are obviously subjective so don't take this video too seriously, it's just a fun idea I've had for a while. Let me know if you'd want me to turn this into a two-part review and cover the neighborhood's preexisting lore, as I believe there's more to unpack there.
