[OPEN] [SV] Strangerville Cloud Remains After the Story

I tried some cheating skills using TwistedMexi's All Cheat Code, and finally made a clean Strangerville.

For using this method, you have to start your family outside of Strangerville.

I started at Willow Creek, and without moving to any other lot, I pressed the ctrl + shift + c key and typed this:

testingcheats.true

narrative.start_narrative narrative_Strangetown_Act4

And then I moved to the science lab and the popup message said Strangerville turned normal.

I checked the other lot such as the airplane crash lot, and the richer lot. There was no strange cloud or plants at the non-playable area.

So maybe you must not visit any Strangerville neighbourhood and pass the narrative part by cheat code,

or you have to see those clouds in your visited Strangerville neighbourhood forever.

Ummmm... What kind of a game is this? A cheat finding game?

+ Ok so EA community manager is deleting useful links. impressed lol

I have the same bug too.

It's probably due to one of the updates, EA should really stop creating new problems with already existing packs.

They have to fix it asap though, cause otherwise strangeville isn't really playable (for normal game play, I want the cloud and plants out of my save).

Thanks for posting this. I downloaded the TwistedMexi's All Cheat mod and followed your steps hoping I could rid my town of the mushroom cloud and strange plants, but sadly it didn't work for me. Oddly I got the pop up notice confirming that the town was back to normal, but still had the annoying cloud and plants. I even used the narrative cheats to reset to the 1st Act and 3rd Acts, revived the mother and requested less "strangeness" and then back to Act 4 but none of that worked, 

After some fiddling around, I found a method with TwistedMexi's mod that worked for me.

First, start with any sim living in Strangerville Plaza, load in and bring up the cheat box.

Next, activate testingcheats, and then we cycle thru all four story stages:

narrative.start_narrative narrative_Strangetown_Act1

narrative.start_narrative narrative_Strangetown_Act2

narrative.start_narrative narrative_Strangetown_Act3

narrative.start_narrative narrative_Strangetown_Act4

After the last act, the plant infestation and the cloud should have cleared up.

To be sure though, maybe let some time pass in-between stages of the acts to be sure that the code worked, it should have visually updated in between stages.

I have the same issue too. I didn't even know ALL the weird alien plants disappear?! I thought the ones outside access map remain either way.
