Default Introducing: Gutterberg
I'm inviting you into my world, where I live and laugh, and fell in love. It's been a work-in-progress for 2 years and I finally feel ready to show it off.



Welcome to Gutterberg.

The neighborhood is based entirely on my home, the cities that line the Hudson River palisades surrounding New York City. My boyfriend and I met here, and fell in love here. And for the last 3 years, we've been preserving our favorite memories together by building them in The Sims. What we've made together is magical and uncanny. We look back at this time capsule of our love with a special pride and fond recollection that only two adoring Sims fans could appreciate... until now.... we want to share it with the world.

Living in Gutterberg means being part of a community that values its heritage, embraces diversity, and looks to the future with optimism. The town’s central location offers easy access to major highways, making getaways to The City or the beach a regular treat. Excellent schools, employers, and a variety of cultural and recreational activities make it an ideal place for families, professionals, and young people alike.

It has hundreds of pre-built lots to enjoy.



The town presents a rich array of residential options, catering to every tastes and lifestyle. From classic single-family homes exuding historic charm with their Victorian and Brownstone architectural styles, to modern townhouses and condos offering sleek, contemporary designs and panoramic views of the river, the town provides a wide selection of living spaces. Each street offers its own distinct character and amenities, from quiet suburban blocks lined with cozy bungalows to a bustling urban center dotted with luxury high-rise apartments featuring amenities like rooftop terraces, fitness centers, and swimming pools. Whether you want a spacious family home with some yard space, a stylish condo with easy access to local shops and restaurants, or a simple apartment with no-frills, G'berg ensures there's a perfect rental option to suit your unique lifestyle preferences and needs.



With highway access to The City, residents can indulge in its renowned nightlife scene without the hassle of a long commute. Whether it's enjoying live music at iconic venues, savoring cocktails at trendy bars and rooftop lounges, or dancing the night away at energetic clubs, G'berg ensures that the pulse of The City's nightlife is within reach, allowing residents to seamlessly transition from the banality of everyday life to the bustling energy of The City that never sleeps.



Explore the local shops and businesses that line Broadway, the lifeblood of G'berg’s economy. These establishments, run by dedicated locals, offer everything from handmade crafts to fresh produce. The cultural tapestry adds another layer to its romantic charm. Attend a performance at the local theater, where the magic of live performances can sweep you both into different worlds, sparking conversations and shared emotions long after the curtain falls. Wander through produce markets and craft fairs, hand in hand, discovering unique treasures that will remind you of your time together in this enchanting city. Or, join the locals at a neighborhood bar or tavern. These cozy spots are where workers unwind after a long day, and the atmosphere is filled with the sounds of clinking glasses, lively conversations, and occasionally, live music. Share a drink with your loved one and be a part of the collective spirit that defines G'berg’s social scene. At the corner store, don't forget to pet "the Bodega cat" - cherished for their role in naturally controlling pests while also becoming beloved local mascots, adding to the community's charm and character.



Ready for an escape? Wander through the park, where lush greenery and tranquil lakes provide a peaceful escape from the bustle of everyday life. The park's winding trails are perfect for leisurely walks, with hidden corners ideal for stolen kisses and whispered secrets. Find a cozy spot by the lake to enjoy a picnic, where the soft rustle of leaves and the gentle chirping of birds set the scene for a dreamy afternoon. Explore the town’s hidden gems, like the historic Woodcliff Lake, where the calm waters reflect the changing colors of the sky. Rent a paddleboat for two and drift together, feeling the gentle sway of the water beneath you as you share stories and laughter. The lake's edges are dotted with charming benches and secluded spots, inviting you to sit and savor the tranquility together. Plus, your furry friends can wag their tails with joy at the local dog park! These paw-some spots aren't just places to play fetch; they're vibrant hubs of canine camaraderie where pups bound freely through grassy fields and sniff out new friends under the shade of trees.



In spring, cherry blossoms and tulips paint the town with hues of pink and yellow, while residents emerge from winter hibernation to enjoy picnics in the park and leisurely walks along the waterfront, where the river reflects the blossoming skyline. Summer brings a buzz of activity, with street festivals showcasing diverse cultures and cuisines, and families cooling off in the community pool. As autumn arrives, streets transform into a palette of fiery reds and golden hues, inviting cozy evenings downtown and farmers' markets brimming with harvest delights. Finally, winter casts a serene charm, with snowfall adorning lamplit streets and residents gathering for holiday cheer and ice skating. Throughout the seasons, the town's warmth and community spirit shine brightly, creating memories and fostering a deep appreciation for its ever-changing landscape.



During the hottest days of the summer, take advantage of quick beach access, and go down to The Shore. Rolling down the windows to feel the ocean breeze, the excitement builds as you pass charming towns and iconic landmarks along the way. Upon arrival, the vibrant atmosphere of the Boardwalk welcomes you with its eclectic mix of art, music, and culinary delights, promising a day of exploration and relaxation by the sea.



Gutterberg's charming neighborhoods will draw you back in, with their tree-lined streets and quaint cafes, they invite you to explore and discover together. Share a quiet moment over coffee in a cozy café, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the scent of blooming flowers from nearby gardens. As night falls, indulge in a candlelit dinner at one of the town's intimate restaurants, where delectable lobster thermidor and fine nectar create an unforgettable dining experience.
