| - The first sims to come online back when beta started, in November 2002, were named after alleys near LL's office. These were:
* Clara
* Clyde
* Da Boom
* Federal
* Freelon
* Hawthorne
* Minna
* Natoma
* Ritch
* Shipley
* Stanford
* Stillman
* Taber
* Varney
* Welsh
* Zoe Later, around January 2003(?), four more sims were added to this naming theme:
* Clementina
* Lusk
* Perry
* Tehama In late March 2003 the "New Welcome Area" and themed sims were added, as well as a copy of the Orientation Island sims so old-timers could see what newbies went through. These sims included Dore, Ahern, Bonifacio, Morris, Oak Grove, and Jessie. The largest expansion yet, the grid was increased by nearly a third.
* Ahern
* Bonifacio
* Dore
* Jessie
* Morris
* OakGrove In April, the Lindens showed their terraforming skill with Kissling and showed a possible southern expansion with Immaculate. In May, Boardman and De Haro were opened as newbie residential sims, featuring suburban and camping themes respectively. Jessie was moved over a square to join the mature Outlands while being set as a damage-enabled sim for an influx of newbies from a military MMOG (World War II Online).
* Boardman
* DeHaro
* Immaculate
* Kissling The new combat sandbox, Rausch, is also an alley in San Francisco.
