When/if the neighborhood editor ever comes out we'll probably have the ability to name the various "parcels" of land in new towns with our own street names. I don't know we would be able to edit Sunset Valley/Riverview though. It's a bit like the Beautiful Vista modifier; it's not editable with the tools we have at the moment. Which kind of sucks. As for rabbit holes, it's definitely possible to change the which skill classes are available where but it would need to be a core mod. BTW I'm probably just as clueless about code as you ;) I basically Ctrl+F through the extracted core files in .NET Reflector to find what I'm looking for.

Thank you! I have a question for you: in your trawling through the Sims 3 code, did you ever by any chance find where the street names are kept? I was just wondering if it's even possible to rename them. Another thing I'm wondering about (asking you because I'm clueless about code), do you think the rabbit holes would be modifiable? Meaning, if I wanted to move the "Attend a Charisma class" option over to the school, would that be do-able? I was just musing that it would be neat to move all the "attend an X class" over to the school so it could be more like a community college. Another very helpful set of generators. Thank you!
