Propaganda: One of the few mainstream Irish bands I love, and not only are they still together, but they're also all still around after all these years. They also cover a lot of important topics in their music while still being hopeful, and I think all of them (Bono in particular) have aged quite gracefully.
"VeronaVille was imagined as a R&J homage from the beginning..." - Jonathan Knight, Lead Producer of The Sims 2, and where are Viola from
- No, VeronaVille was imagined as a R&J homage from the beginning... in part inspired by the Tudor decor set, and also my personal passion for Shakespeare.
- Oh. Thank you for answering!Veronaville is my favourito neighborhood ❤️
I know this is a stretch, but do you remember if there was more families planned for Veronaville? Someone was able to find information of a Sim named Viola in the code for a lot, we assumed her a Monty.
I don't remember, but I was watching a lot of "Shakespeare in Love" around that time, so it wouldn't surprise me!
Annotation to the film "Shakespeare in Love":
1594. The young playwright William Shakespeare is in a creative crisis: his muse has left him, there is no money, and the theater owner demands that the author write a new play as soon as possible. And when, it would seem, the writer has no hope of finding new inspiration, his life is invaded by love itself in the person of a charming aristocrat Viola.
