Strangetown is a pre-made neighborhood 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. 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 broken down spaceship in a giant hole that looks like it was caused by a meteor (Most probably the spaceship's impact), suggesting the spaceship crashed when returning to Pleasantview with Bella Goth. The spaceship could also probably be Pollination Technician #9 Smith's spaceship though.
For information how to bring Bella back, see Reuniting the Goths.

NPCs
The Sims 2 (PSP)
Strangetown reappears in The Sims 2 (PSP) for Playstation Portable, although the districts in the game do not exist in the PC version of Strangetown. The location in Strangetown are the Service Station, Paradise Place, Deadtree, Division 47, and the Monument.
The Sims 2 (console)
Strangetown reappears in The Sims 2 for console, although it is just a district of the whole neighborhood.
The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS)
Strangetown reappears in The Sims 2 for Nintendo DS, although only a small portion of it appears. The locations in Strangtown are the Strangetown Hotel, the Strangetown Store, Mamma Hogg's Saloon, the City hall, the Jail, Jebidiah S. Jerky's Cow Pasture, and the desert. The Strangetown Hotel is the biggest area in the game, with 5 floors (including the basement) and many rooms. According to Tristan Legend, Strangetown is constantly invaded by Emperor Xizzle and his minions. Later in the game, it is also invaded by Jimmy the Neck, Crime Spree Bob, and Optimum Alfred.
SimCity 4
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.
The Sims 3
Strangetown does not appear in The Sims 3, however, it is mentioned quite a few times:
- If a Sim throws away perfectly good food, the Sim will get the negative moodlet "wasteful". In the description of the moodlet, it is mentioned that "there are starving children in Strangetown !"
- Sometimes the newspaper will mention people suffering from Strangetown Syndrome.
- The Infectious Disease Researcher level of the Medical Career mentions a contagious "Strangetown Syndrome".
- Also, when a Sim becomes the Leader of the Free World they may get an Opportunity which mentions Strangetown suffering from mud and a heavy blizzard, causing the mud to freeze.
- A particular piece of news that randomly appears in the newspaper refers to researchers in Strangetown investigating a phenomenon.
- In The Sims 3 (DS), there is a location called "Strangetown Apartments".
