Question regarding farmland

[Aelanna]

I'm relatively new to the Sims 2 scene, having just gotten the software earlier this year and having no desire for the Sims 3. More I read about that game the less I want it.

Anyway, my question is this. I have seen some neighborhoods that have farmland/fields already on it so when  you load the hood to ad d your own lots there are fields. I want to make a farming neighbordd and have some fields already on it for background, is there any way to add these fields?

I tried making a region in SC4 that had only farms on it but when I loaded it into the Sims the fields were all deleted.

Only roads (and trees?) will follow the neighborhood from SC4. There are field neighborhood deco in Sims 2, however. It's under the decoration section in neighborhood view. You have to set the lot view (while on a lot) to show neighborhood deco in lot view.

There is also CC that looks like farmland (corn acres and stuff, to be placed on a lot). I know I've got a few items like that in my stuff, but have no control on where it was from...

Ohhh, that is awesome, thanks!! I didn't realize you could put stuff on the map in Neighborhood view. Cool!

I notice the barn decoration has a traditional barn roof on it. Is there any way to make a roof like that on a barn I build in the game?
