'''Strangetown''' ({{IPAc-en|s|t|r|eɪ|n|d|ʒ|t|aʊ|n}}) is one of the pre-made [[neighborhood#The Sims 2 neighborhoods|neighborhoods]] in ''[[The Sims 2]]''. It is also the smallest of the three neighborhoods shipped with ''The Sims 2''; there are 11 lots, one of which has not yet been built on, and 187 Sims. Strangetown is the neighborhood used in the [[The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS)|''The Sims 2'' for Nintendo DS]] and [[The Sims 2 (Game Boy Advance)|GBA]] versions of the games, although only [[Tank Grunt]] and [[Johnny Smith]] make an appearance. [[The Sims 2 (PSP)|''The Sims 2'' on PSP]], however, takes place wholly in Strangetown with much of the same cast and added Sims.
According to [[Deputy Duncan]], Strangetown was named after his great-great-great-uncle on his mother's side; a lawman called Sheriff Paul Strange.


Strangetown is also connected with the [[Pleasantview]] storyline, in which [[Bella Goth]] has been [[alien abduction|abducted by aliens]], and then left in Strangetown. Also there is a broken down spaceship in a large crater that looks like it was caused by a meteor, but was probably caused by the spaceship's impact. This suggests the spaceship could have crashed when returning to Pleasantview with Bella Goth. However, it is also possible that the spaceship was [[Pollination Tech 9 Smith|Pollination Technician #9 Smith]]'s.
[[Image:Strangetown.jpg|thumb|left|A picture of Strangetown. The power plant chimneys are from Pets.]]


Most of the pre-made families in the PC version of Strangetown have at least one [[Career rewards|career reward]] object.
'''Strangetown''' is a pre-made [[neighborhood]] in ''[[The Sims 2]]''. There are 11 lots, one of which is a lot not yet built on, and 187 Sims.


The town's configuration is different in each game in which it appears. Putting the different versions (from all versions of ''The Sims 2'': PC, PSP, GBA, DS, console) of the town together, Strangetown gets a big variety of lots including a grocery store, library, city hall, meetinghouse, saloons, pawn-shop, nuclear power plant, a dam, a greenhouse, a zoo, an art gallery, a movie studio, a hotel, a casino, a pyramid, a dance club, a cow farm, labs, military base, abandoned warehouse, public pool, clothing shop, a salt mine, jail and of course, graveyards and the iconic Crash Site. It also features interesting housing, from old trailers to an igloo and more than 200 Sims.
It is similar to real-life [[wikipedia:Roswell, New Mexico|Roswell]], or any other small desert community. It is filled with mysteries, alien stories and disappearing Sims.


Strangetown is the neighborhood used in the [[The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS)|''The Sims 2'' for Nintendo DS]] and [[The Sims 2 (Game Boy Advance)|GBA]] versions of the games, although only [[Tank Grunt]] and [[Johnny Smith]] make an appearance.

Strangetown is also connected with the [[Pleasantview]] storyline, in which [[Bella Goth]] has been [[alien abduction|abducted by aliens]], and then left in Strangetown. However, the '[[Bella Goth (Strangetown)|Strangetown Bella]]' is "fake", many fans remain determined to get the ''real'' Bella back. It is possible for Bella to return to her family, (see below) but the actual storyline remains that Bella in Strangetown is the "real" one. Also there is a torn aircraft in giant hole, suggesting the aircraft crashed when returning to Pleasantview with Bella Goth.

This article is about a neighborhood. The Sims 2 The Sims 2 (console) The Sims 2 (PSP) The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS) The Sims 2 (GBA)


Strangetown
Truth-seekers move to Strangetown hoping to discover the secrets the town holds. Do aliens live among us? Do missing Sims mysteriously appear here? In this town nothing is what it seems.
Name Strangetown
Game  The Sims 2
Onomatology
Not to be confused with StrangerVille.

Strangetown ( /streɪndʒtaʊn/) is one of the pre-made neighborhoods in The Sims 2. It is also the smallest of the three neighborhoods shipped with The Sims 2; there are 11 lots, one of which has not yet been built on, and 187 Sims. Strangetown is the neighborhood used in the The Sims 2 for Nintendo DS and GBA versions of the games, although only Tank Grunt and Johnny Smith make an appearance. The Sims 2 on PSP, however, takes place wholly in Strangetown with much of the same cast and added Sims. According to Deputy Duncan, Strangetown was named after his great-great-great-uncle on his mother's side; a lawman called Sheriff Paul Strange.

Strangetown is also connected with the Pleasantview storyline, in which Bella Goth has been abducted by aliens, and then left in Strangetown. Also there is a broken down spaceship in a large crater that looks like it was caused by a meteor, but was probably caused by the spaceship's impact. This suggests the spaceship could have crashed when returning to Pleasantview with Bella Goth. However, it is also possible that the spaceship was Pollination Technician #9 Smith's.

Most of the pre-made families in the PC version of Strangetown have at least one career reward object.

The town's configuration is different in each game in which it appears. Putting the different versions (from all versions of The Sims 2: PC, PSP, GBA, DS, console) of the town together, Strangetown gets a big variety of lots including a grocery store, library, city hall, meetinghouse, saloons, pawn-shop, nuclear power plant, a dam, a greenhouse, a zoo, an art gallery, a movie studio, a hotel, a casino, a pyramid, a dance club, a cow farm, labs, military base, abandoned warehouse, public pool, clothing shop, a salt mine, jail and of course, graveyards and the iconic Crash Site. It also features interesting housing, from old trailers to an igloo and more than 200 Sims.
