I used to think strangerville was the worst but it's the only world that has a storyline and genuine lore. With the scientist and army walking round with the alien van driving round makes the atmosphere. And the western vibe you can choose whether you want to live a normal Sims life or if you want to be involved in the strangerville mystery.

Satch: Strangerville is the most isolated pack in the franchise
Journey to Batuu: exists

idk why it's so hated by the community. strangerville is the most creative and sickest pack!

Strangerville is what I can get behind as DLC. It's its own quirky thing which you don't need to make a lifesimulation feel like life.

I own all the packs. (I know, I know. It’s a sickness.) Strangerville is genuinely my absolute favorite. I’ve only played through the storyline twice and I very much wish we could turn it off, but I think it’s pretty fun. More than that, I love the look and feel of the world as well as the CAS and build/buy items. My only complaints are not being able to toggle the story on/off and how ridiculously small the world is. Otherwise it’s perfect. I wish they’d update it and give us a new story to play. That would be fun too. Edit: To answer your question, it’s set in a Sims version of Roswell, New Mexico.

Build mode on screen error! It’s 3/10 not 7/10. Sorry!

[DefyReality-llcg]

There is actually a very small cross-pack feature in that if a vampire drinks from a possessed sim, they become possessed for a short time.

It would have been nice if EA had kept the concept with the story for more packs. At least you had the feeling that the world was a bit more alive than usual.

[FabiolaMo]

I have to disagree. As en extreme builder, its an amazing pack to have! The debug objects are insane, the world is gorgeous and build/buy catalogue is 10/10! I can see why so many people don’t see its potential but its there. Strangerville is one of my favorite gamepack!

I feel Strangerville is one of the only links we have to the actual vibe of the OG sims series - it makes me pine for Sims 2 PSP omg

[melonmale]

Honestly I'm surprised we didn't get any lot challenges and lot traits from this cause I'd beleive they'd probably be pretty sick

[kayosplash]

Honestly, I absolutley love this world. Like all sim worlds it lacks things to do, but something about it just appeals to me so hard and I enjoy living there. If only there were more lots and things to actually do. The gameplay is very "meh" at most and i'm not a huge fan. It's fun for the first time, but after that you'll never touch it again lol.

[feenprinz]

Had this pack for forever but haven't completed the story once 😅 however, I really enjoy some of the build/buy stuff for decorating abandoned houses, especially nice for rags to riches gameplay but maybe that's just me and my love for apocalyptic/dystopian aesthetics 😬

[April]

I wish the mystery had connected to Bella Goth. HOWEVER… it’s a game pack with a decently-sized world and unique build/buy items. Moreover, it isn’t full of bugs. It plays as it should. I think Strangerville is underrated.

[xTheOneToSaveUsAllx]

Cross-pack-wise, I know vampires that drink from Possessed sims also get Possessed, so that's one feature.

[plumfrogvic]

I remember when I got this pack, I had no idea it even existed, I randomly stumbled upon it- and I LOVED it. The only downsides are the lack of replay value and the usual empty-shelled world. But it genuinely is one of my favorite packs to come out of The Sims 4.

[Bellabellbell]

Early to a Satch video! I have never once considered this pack so excited to see this lol

Edit: less than two minutes in and I've been informed of your military fetish. We love you, Satch. Never change

Played Strangerville for the first time this past week. Good storyline, but it's what happened after that got me...

For clarification, the household I'm playing includes a vampire and a sim highly skilled at gardening. After completing Strangerville, I planted one of the fruits I obtained with the pack to grow more of it. Didn't see any problem with letting my gardener sim eat one instead of selling it, but...

So, I revived the mother plant to get the means to clear out this infection; while prepping for the fight, I had my vampire feed on the gardener sim to satisfy his thirst, and he got infected too! LoL

[ppatrickrob]

Strangerville is a awesome pack I would like more packs like that mysterious about the world and you have to find clues to do with it

[bookcat]

I love Strangerville! I use the CAS and the build mode items all the time! Buy items somewhat less often, but it is great for grungy/rags to riches. I believe it’s the cheapest tub/shower combo.

The world doesn’t exactly have “nothing” to do, it’s just that the things to do are all related to the storyline (the weird plants, the possessed Sims, and the little curio stand)

I do often play in the starter home trailer lot (not sure why you said you couldn’t do a trailer?) but yeah… the townie homes are particularly terrible in this one. 🤣

I’ve played the storyline dozens of times - there’s a lot of different ways to approach it. My favorite so far was as an investigative journalist.

I also sometimes deliberately play in the world without completing the storyline - random Sims out at night behaving oddly and plants growing in the toilet can be sort of living in a bad neighborhood with mold and suspicious characters. 😏
