Hi @CommaSplice! I played at least 5 hours in strangerville yesterday but I haven't touched the mystery story yet. I have to play my family for a while to set up the story that I want to tell. So far, the weirdness hasn't really affected much. The welcome wagon is weirder than normal, but once you get past that all that happens is that there are stranger plant in the neighborhood and a few possessed sims wandering around. It seems like you don't have to interact with any of it if you don't want to. I haven't had any strange weather, and I made a club with a native strangerville sim, and they were totally normal during the club gathering. I also haven't played in any of the other worlds since downloading the new pack though, I'm trying to take my time and enjoy the new story while also not messing with the rest worlds until I know what the storyline requires to function. I hope this helps!
