After the mystery

I will be changing it- I already bulldozed all of Oasis creek to turn it into a extension of Strangerville as time marches on (I also just really disliked most of Oasis’ creek’s architecture too for some reason? Idk.).

the trailer will remain a trailer and I’m going to move a new sim there eventually. Old Penelope is going to be cleaned up and the land converted to.... something (still debating if it’s going to be a diner, a ‘Mystery Shack’ style tourist place, or something else).

I think I’m going to move the Sigworth’s to a nicer and bigger house in ‘expanded Strangerville aka Oasis Springs’ once all is said and done, and if Ol’ Penelope doesn’t get turned into a diner than their place will. The other house is going to be taken over and worked on by one of my original characters, the once-teen-gardener and resurrector of the Mother, expanded and torn down in parts.

About 5-7 years after the defeat of the mother the town info center is going to get a facelift to mimic more affluent small town info centers rather than the more ramshackle ones.

The park in Oasis Springs is going to become ‘Strangerville State Park’ (or a better name) and will be edited to have some of the strange plants and other features- the infection is cured, but the mother still lives on as a friend to the humans that care for her. The creation of the park will have been pushed through by the new Mayor Roswell (the widow of the late mayor), and will drive new tourism and profits.

Alice, Erwin, and my journalist sim/Strangerville hero will move in to the empty yellow house and do mass refurbishments (and add a basement), and start their family together (look a accident in my first test run made them all have crushes on each other so they are poly now. It’s happening. Initially it was just going to be my journalist and Alice, but the game conspired.)

Then we got the mayoral house which is gonna have a big revamp since Mrs Roswell is going to marry a scientist and she currently has a baby on the way (and I want her to have 1 more child).

Then there is my sim-in-Black who moved in shady acres on a empty lot and who will have spent a lot of his life savings making a fantastic pad and base for himself and other sims in black to rest up, and Mark Eggleston will move in with him and get married eventually. (Mark is going to be a political aid to Mrs Roswell and set up to be the mayor after her.) their house is one of my best original works, I am proud.

Outside of that I’m still debating on plans for the last empty spot in Shady Acres (maaaaybe my scientist sim?), still debating the fate of Leslie Holland (leaning towards having her keep the Eccletic Arts Household), and other lots I’ll want to fill up Oasis springs with.

Oh and the bar will get a facelift and upgrade once more money starts coming in to the town.

It's on my to do list. I've downloaded several western themed builds and renovated community lots but I've seen some awesome retro builds that would fit perfectly in Strangerville so I'm still on the fence as to which way to go.

I plan to build scientific lab that allows sims to sleep in the space pods. And a time tardis usinng various features from many packs and ep.

Wow @RobinGreenthumb that sounds pretty interesting

I was wondering, After I solve the mystery, do those back drop houses become available to play, as normal lots. my sim lives next door to several back drop houses. It is so annoying I cant play them.

The number of lots available to play doesn't change, just the mystery is solved.

That's a shame. I wanted to move more sims in there. I like the little town.

Thank you! And this is only the plans for the first 10 year span after the mystery ?

I plan to eventually have a small alien delegation settle there, have a shrine to the Mother erected in the park, and have a intergalactic diplomatic floor of the info center as well as a bunch of other stuff.

what happens to the Lab after you solve the mystery?? does it turn into a proper science lab??

Nope. The Lab stays there with the motherplant in remission. If you choose you can revive the motherplant and replay the mystery with another family.

I have given the electric Arts household a hero's upgrade house, separating secretive work to home luxuries.
