Strangetown: Difference between revisions

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.

In the SC4Terrains folder, which can be found in the user data folder of ''The Sims 2'', there's a number of terrains from ''SimCity 4'', including Pleasantview, Strangetown and Veronaville. Strangetown in ''SimCity 4'' is named "Desert Test", probably because it was to see how the Desert terrain would look during the production of ''The Sims 2''.
