Sims 2: Strangetown - lots and sims rebuilt for Sims 3

https://i.imgur.com/gR7O0hJ.png

The fifth town's content remade for Sims 3! Strangetown is simultaneously the smallest town of all of Sims 2, AND the largest. And that is is because the PC original has been supplemented by Strangetown appearing in four additional games, each with exclusive content. The PS2 has a new Smith family feuding with an alien-hating neighbour, a household of crazy artists trying to make an Art Gallery, a forlorn washed up movie star looking for a dead lost love on a ruined movie set, and a regular family in a green area of Strangetown. The GBA and DS versions continued on from the Busting Out and Urbs handheld stories, with a few minor cameos from PC Strangetown, and the PSP version was a full-fledged story about what happens to Strangetown a few years down the line, with almost every PC playable sim appearing. Thus, I was quickly swamped with content to make and I got stuck many times over how to convert the non-PC game lots to Sims 3's style.

Strangetown has always been my favourite of the pre-made towns, as its wacky, weird and full of nonstandard gameplay and content. Like with Veronaville and ALT, I also consider the La Fiesta Tech students to be part of Strangetown, thus you will find versions of them living at home, before they go to university.

Content for this town will be the slowest but most longlived, as I have a LOT of content to do. As of this first post though, I have finished all of the base PC sims and lots and will upload those first.

As always, there should be no CC, as I only use bugfixing mods in my games. As a result, some families and lots look different, due to Sims 3 simply not having anything close.
