I spent the last few days playing Sims 2 on PSP, with its extra areas of Strangetown not seen on PC, and im looking into making some of the stuff from that in 3, to go alongside my PC Strangetown lots and sims. Its even more of a challenge, as Sims 2 PSP was a very different engine.
A Strangetown made today in CAW would need the original long road, an area for the workplaces, and the PSP exclusive areas of Paradise Place (small grassy residential area) and Deadtree (rundown community area with a bars, library, graveyard and dairy/barn), with Division 47 as a science/military region, probably two or three lots (one for each rabbithole, and the PSP lot with the barracks and lab, which were both basement areas)
I even have an idea on how I might be able to do Roberta Rossum (Robot wife thats human on the outside and can usually pass as a human) and Lincoln Broadsheet (disabled guy in a wheelchair, who in Sims 2 PSP hovers about like a ghost thanks to a special belt

Yes, I have built many things from the other games into newer games. It's done often by many people. I like to see if I can do it. I spend time counting tiles, lol, to see how close I can come to the actual size and build of a lot from TS1 or TS2. Yours look great!
for Sims 2/Stories, tile counting isnt as difficult, theres a button in build mode that shows the lot dimensions, you just have to subtract ten from it, as it includes the unbuildable road area (30x40 is generally a 30x30 lot for example). Im gonna need to download a custom lot size mod for the Grunt family though, thier home is an odd size that Sims 3 cant make on its own. That or, I shrink their lot down, as the obstacle course isnt in sims 3, but that damages the authenticity approach im trying to do :p

Hi :)
I've not tried to do all of them. I didn't play all of the neighborhoods nor families.
I did recreated my share of Sims 2 Sims and I recreated Twikkii Island (with additional areas) with CAW. I didn't worry as much about getting their personalities just right because I couldn't.
There are several maps made from TS/2 for TS3.
Your lots look Wonderful. :+1:
Twikkii Island and the vacation destinations are probably the biggest hurdles for me, so much stuff there is non-standard with no obvious counterpart. I do plan on making the tourist 'families' though, only having them as ACTUAL families this time! (In the original they werent coded properly and werent actually related in any way, was a group of sims sharing a last name >_>)

I am a sims 3 fan and I love your lots ^^ :)
Thanks, I recently uploaded the complete set of Sims Life Stories lot bin homes, the game had some designs in there that were totally unique and not seen anywhere else! This is the second time ive made those homes, also rebuilt them in proper Sims 2 :p
https://www.thesims3.com/mypage/Devalaous/mystudio its slightly disorganised, but every Life Stories lot bin lot should be on the first page. Also has some stuff from my University revamping
