The iconic Strangetown family, now with actual alien powers via Seasons! PT9 has his special alien ancestors in his inventory as graves; move them onto a graveyard or similar out of the way location.

The only thing PT9 loves more than his lawn is his family. When he is not spending time with his children, he enjoys clipping coupons and staring up at the sky.

PT9 was the very first Strangetown sim I made, via editing an existing natural alien. I wanted to see how well his unique facial structure from Sims 2 could carry across to the Sims 3 engine, with the rather different skintone colour from Sims 3 aliens. He no longer has to sleep, so hes usually up all night doing housework. Good thing too, due to engine differences, his side of the bed is now blocked off by the fireplace.

Jenny loves having a career, but she wishes she could spend more time with her family, and maybe make some new friends. She really likes green.

Jenny now looks her age; shes the eldest of the Curious siblings, and 5 days away from Elderhood, even taking Sims 3's much longer lives into account. The half-alien daughters of PT9 are still technically older, but they have worked around that.. Thanks to the favourite system, Jenny does indeed have green as her favourite colour, and shes also eco-friendly....so she can talk to people about going green. Shoot me now.

Johnny dreams of being the hero that rides in on a white horse, or at least a cool sports car.

Johnny is a sim that was full of difficulties. In Sims 3, Alien DNA gives you full alien powers, black eyes, and an echoey voice, until your alien DNA
dips below 20%, instead of losing more and more powers as the DNA dilutes. Thus, Johnny's human eyes are impossible. So this Johnny, under the hood, has 19.9% alien DNA, just like his sister. I did the same for the Caliente sisters, as 25% gave them powers. Consider it as story and gameplay segregation. He is also on his last day of teenhood, just like Sims 2, but no worries, he has learned how to drive, and graduated from school activities, so players wont miss out on much.

When Jill closes her eyes, she sees dolphins. She has her heart set on becoming a deep sea welder someday.

Jill is lucky; despite technically being half-alien, she looks absolutely identical to normal sims, and if her brother and father werent in the public eye, noone would ever know she was different. However, she DOES have special powers. The PSP game establishes she has pyrokinesis, a power shes terrified of. She has this in Sims 3 too, thanks to the secret Pyromaniac trait, which allows random fires and the ability to turn fruits into flame fruits.

Perfectly Human Home - A perfectly normal rural home along the Road to Nowhere. Great care has been taken to keep the grass green and growing amid the desert aridity.

The Smith home always stood out just like its residents. Green lawns in the middle of the desert, a home that looks like it was plucked out of a regular town. The pool seems to attract a lot of people in my game; if a service NPC shows up, they will often dive into the pool before leaving.

The plants not needing maintenance is a godsend, PT9 tended to spend all day out there, and some of the plants were bugged too. The golfing item is naturally now replaced by the Showtime golf item.

Additions and changes to the lower floor are basically adding a laundry room to a previously empty little room, and replacing a chess set with a small dining table; this is because chess tables cannot fit in 3x1 spaces anymore, they now need a lot more.

The upstairs floor houses the removed chess table from downstairs in the spare room, and the bathroom has been made smaller; this is due to changes to stairs, you cannot have tiles above any part of the staircase now. As a result, Johnny cannot take a shortcut into the bathroom anymore. Johnny's room is very decorated in accolades from his teen years, as he is on the verge of young adulthood.
