I don't tend to be fan of how the spinoff console/handheld games play, but maybe I could go back to it. I do tend to like the characters in the side games though such as Dusty Hogg, and hope we'll see them in a main series game eventually. I've considered remaking them and playing as them myself.
I just finished Sims 2 PSP in the last week, and recorded lots of things to recreate in both Sims 2 and 3. Theres a lot of characters in it who would canonically be living in Strangetown alongside the ones you know, who might add some fun diversity to your strangetown game. I'll list the new characters in a spoiler tag.
Oscar Del Fuego: A car mechanic with some strange eccentric behaviour, he would be one of the town's main tinkerers. Not sure about much else in how he would fit.
Deputy Duncan: Cop with a stereotypical desert sheriff look, is largely important to the PC version due to his family founding Strangetown, I assume his name is thus Duncan Strange.
Mambo Loa: Voodoo lady whos a cameo from the older Urbz series, would be good for the paranormal career, and voodoo shenanigans with the doll from Twikii Island
Rossum family: Isaac is a plain-as-day reference to Will Wright, and built a robotic wife, Roberta. Not sure how Roberta would be handled on PC, as shes essentially a Servo with a humanlike skin, disguise, but Isaac could easily be the robotics talent badge specialist for Strangetown
Dominic Newlow: A former EMT/doctor, this guy is the supervillain of Strangetown, as Doctor Dominion. Would be fun to have him plot what he does in Sims 2 PSP in this earlier timeframe.
Hazel Dente: A women with four mysteriously dead husbands in the PSP version, in this point of the timeline she would likely be still living with Dennis, her fourth husband, who haunts your home in his swimwear. Her three previous husbands do not have confirmed last names, nor appearances, but Dennis does, so they can be created easily enough.
Roland Calenzo: He would pretty much be a townie, probably with a slacker career, he cleaned pools for a living before hooking up with Hazel
Howell family: This one is somewhat important, Annie Howell was Nervous Subject's girlfriend from before he lived with the Beakers, and she is also a werewolf. She has anger issues, some of which are caused by belief that Nervous abandoned her. Her older brother Hoot would likely be an adult near the end of his life stage by now, Hoot's main purpose was as a bartender.
Virginia Feng: The series' first 'serious' vampire iirc, Virginia is a piano-playing vampire that hates being one, and is searching for a cure, and hates getting involved with others, as she cant control her biting habits and hates feeding off others. In Sims 3 she would have the Vegetarian trait, and would also go well in Sims 4, but in 2 PC, would be harder to implement; especially as in the PSP version she looks completely normal!
Sinjin Balani: This guy is a cousin of the Curious brothers, and leads a cult to do with cows. No idea how that part would come into play in 2, but you could at the very least have him as a paranormal career townie, linked to the Curious family as a cousin in SimPE. He has a whole bunch of cultists under his wing, all of whom have some personality, but again, not sure how that would translate to PC.
Townies: The game has specific set townies just like PC, who aren't randomly generated at all, and they even all have specific personalities. They would be nifty additions to the town to vary it up, and they dont have the usual townie names either. There is even a scientist in there whose life's work is simply to ruin whatever Lazlo does!

Well, in Strangetown PC, hes not exactly gay, just dislikes women :p True, this is open for player interpretation in just that release, but with Sims 2 PSP, connecting the two makes me see it as him never moving on from Annie, as according to that game, he was abducted by the Beakers, leading to Annie thinking he had abandoned her and run away, when he had never lost his love for her; its why he haunts the Espiritu Estate, he cant move on because of it. His personality is totally fried at the start of Sims 2 PC as well, with his zero points in anything but Active, and his genetic normal personality visible. (I always change him to a grilled cheese sim due to this, with his original Family as a secondary)
