'''Strangetown''' ({{IPAc-en|s|t|r|eɪ|n|d|ʒ|t|aʊ|n}}) is aone 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. However, the '[[Bella Goth (Strangetown)|Strangetown Bella]]' is "fake", and 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 the Bella in Strangetown is the "real" one. 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.
 
Most of the pre-made families in the PC version of Strangetown have at least one [[Career rewards|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.
