Plans for Nightlife
Trubble:
Ta. Will remember that, although I tend to avoid basements to a certain degree as they make picture taking difficult.

I've already planned ahead and sited out a garage attachment site for all the major ancestral homes. Hopefully there won't be too many new obnoxious "must have" objects that will never be used. Like those instruments. Because there's no way we ever use all 3 of the new instruments, yet everyone's gotta have the entire set. Maybe if that sinkhole bug gets fixed, I'll be able to make a large enough basement to bury all this crap in.

i'm hoping for more new musical instruments. i'm hoping they'll come with more mature animations. yeah, silly me.
as to the sinkholes, yes, it's ugly, but i see the neighborhood screen as pretty disfunctional anyway. it also doesn't properly render the invisible wall/wall window or the transparent floor tiles. so i do the glass houses and huge basements and have my fun on the lot. would be nice though if that could get fixed.

I'm not planning on making a new hood for NL - but the hood I play nearly all the time - a generation/legacy type of thing where I play each house in rotation - anyway, in that hood, I'm working on getting the current generation married/pregnant with first child. There's 24 couples. So by the time I play though all of them, their kids should be my "Nightlife Generation" just as the parents were kind of my "Uni" generation, and their parents were my "there weren't no new-fangled EPs in MY day, kids don't know how easy they got it nowadays" generation. :D
Now if the generation that is currently in utero/non-existant reaches adulthood before NL comes out - I won't "save" them for NL, I'll just keep playing. But I doubt I will get them all matured before mid-Sept - if it indeed comes out on time.
I usually do a "dummy" lot too, to test out the new things/interactions.

Huh. That's interesting. I suck at building, but my sweetie is a builder extraordinaire, and he adores basements. I've never heard him bitch and moan about this effect, and I've never noticed it when looking at his neighborhoods. Maybe because he landscapes a huge amount? I'll have to ask him to pull up one of his neighborhoods when I get home.

Drill a large basement. Then witness what your lot looks like in the neighborhood view. The terrain around the house will look like it's getting sucked into a sinkhole, starting with the stairs to the porch looking like they're suffering from a bad case of receding gumlines. It looks quite awful, and limits the size of the basement to a somewhat arbitrary figure often much smaller than the foundation of the house it's being drilled under.
J. M. Pescado:
The Sinkhole Effect is completely undetectable while playing, and appears only as an unsightly eyesore in the neighborhood view.
