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.
It is similar to real-life 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 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. However, the '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.
For information how to bring Bella back, see Reuniting the Goths.
