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...
In search of truth and mystery, the Curious brothers got more than they were "expecting." Can Pascal, Lazlo, and Vidcund cope with their new roles as cosmic parents?
https://i.imgur.com/Cxa1obJ.jpg Rather than do things exactly like Sims 2 and start with Pascal pregnant, in this version he has already given birth; this is because there is no control over what pregnant sims wear, a high chance for existing outfit selections to be ruined, and sometimes babies can be born without special features; during the making of this family, Tycho was once born as a regular sim! Not to mention, canonically the baby IS a male named Tycho.
The Curious family is pretty much THE biggest family ever made in Sims, on par and even beating the Capps and Montys in some ways. The ENTIRE family tree is included, and it expands back to the Twinbrook roots. Glabe Curious is also included.

Pascal starts off with maxed Writing skill, a direct conversion of his 10 Creativity skill points. In the original, he started off heavily pregnant and already in maternity wear, and would give birth to Tycho not too long after loading the Curious lot (And Tycho had a chance to be female, and could even be born with human skin, just like Jill Smith!) However, due to the PSP version's canon, and the problems of packaging a pregnant sim, this Pascal has already given birth.

Vidcund was a bit difficult to make, he has a very distinct look in Sims 2. I believe this result is adequate however. He has career history as a firefighter, a reference to one of his secrets in Sims 2 PSP. Vidcund was scripted in Sims 2 to instantly get abducted if he used the telescope after loading the Curious lot, resulting in TWO alien-sim hybrid babies to look after. However, it wasn't canon, as Sims 2 PSP shows only Pascal's baby was ever born. Feel free to get him pregnant via Pollination Technician anyway though!

Lazlo is meant to be the slacker of the Science Bros, yet he actually starts out higher on the career. Due to being laid-back, he has no feuds with the Beakers, and will be important in the PSP story, when its revealed he has a cousin named Sinjin Balani, who uses his influence to get your sim into a government facility where Lazlo now works.
https://i.imgur.com/AcnsZEF.jpg Pascal actually gave BIRTH to baby Tycho after he was abducted by aliens. Tycho Curious was made canon by the PSP version; there he is the target of a quest near the end of the game. His bio was taken directly from Pascal's 'Secrets' menu, as he doesn't have an official EA one, but this one does fit. Unlike regular alien pregnancies in Sims 3, Tycho is a proper 50% DNA human/sim hybrid. I made him by remaking the Pollination Technician and blending his DNA with Pascal's, Tycho was then born ingame after several attempts to get a proper alien hybrid.

The most unique home from all of Sims 2's original release. Its almost entirely intact, however I needed to change one area to seal off weather. The original home had the whole house open to weather, meaning rain, sand, snow, could all get inside. Even with all weather from Seasons disabled, it still doesnt make sense to leave your home open to the elements, so I've closed that area off.
https://i.imgur.com/JQTmGGe.jpg The left side of the home houses the three science brothers and Tycho. Not too many changes here.
https://i.imgur.com/cvYVYMs.jpg The right side of the home however has changed; the chess room is now a science station room due to the chess table no longer fitting in there, and the greenhouse room now houses the chess table. Growing plants is now outdoors in the various pots. In the upload, the pizza that the home starts out with is intact, but it seems to break immediately and is not edible anymore. Oh well.
https://i.imgur.com/ifkSlok.jpg The 'second floor' I added is merely a laundry spot that serves to seal off that staircase from the weather.
