Set here
Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.
Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Hollywood, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement — two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines
“Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines takes place in four areas of 21st-century Los Angeles: Santa Monica, Hollywood, Downtown Los Angeles, and Chinatown.” Wikipedia

Twisted Metal III
“The first level takes place in Hollywood, which was devastated by the "Great Earthquake of 2007".” Wikipedia
Drawn from this place
Anime whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Hollywood as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
