I admit it's been since the Fall of 2018 that I led a crew of Sims into Strangerville to solve the mystery there. I surely do not recall running into the Men In Black who tell Sims 'nothing to see here, move along.' LOL This after two police show up in the front yard of the lot my crew is staying in for the duration of their mission. All because two crew members decided to elope and immediately try for baby right where they were. LOL Suddenly shots in rapid fire go off. Crazy-insane. So, either the cops are from a mod I use, but I do not recall the Men In Black. It's a great addition, I'm not complaining in the least, just mystified.

I didn’t pick the fruit in my play through and they did not show up, but this was when it was first released.

If your Sims live in StrangerVille, the Men In Black show up right after the Welcome Wagon leaves. The Welcome Wagon in Strangerville is usually several infected Sims, who plant Bizarre Fruit in the planter boxes and also put a few of them in your refrigerator. The MIB remove the planted fruit and take your contaminated refrigerator (not just the fruit). This happened to the first Sim I played in StrangerVille, so it's always been part of that world's script. I don't remember any gunshots though.

Well, they never did that in my game, I remember seeing the infected sims, I don’t think I invited them in though. And no men in black ever showed up. My hero was a new sim I created and played in the trailer in strangerville. I put him in the Military career.

I don’t use mods or CC and I haven’t heard gunshots in my game either. And the only time I see cops is when I play my sim who is the chief of police and she goes to work.

Thats because they come to your sims house and confiscate whatever the weirdo sims from the creepy welcoming wagon put in your garden or fridge. :joy:

My experience has been 3 infected sims show up as 'welcome wagon'. If you interact/let them in, one of them puts fruit into your fridge but the planting is not always. The 'feds' show up if you've had the welcoming thing. They will take your fridge even if your sim removes the fruit in advance into their inventory. As far as the outfits go, they were in their MIB ones only around the time the pack released. For a long time now the guy agents have been in women's clothes and gal agents have been in men's clothes. The only consistent thing has been sunglasses. The last time I played the story (a year or more ago) the fruit were irrelevant to completing it.

I have kept those strange fruits from Strangeville in my garden plant box and no MIB sims showed up at my sims' front door to confiscate them. But then again the private lot trait might have something to do with that.

Personally, this was the very first time I ever had the Welcome Wagon show up. I've played the Strangerville scenario three times, now. I like to wait awhile in between as it can be very intense when you face-off with the Mother. Plus, I like that I forget much of what must be done, so that it's like new. I would just place a house in Strangerville, mark it rental and have your Sim take a 1-2 day vacation there. You may be lucky enough to have the Welcome Wagon show up. Or, you could temporarily move your Sim there using the freerealestate on cheat. Stay long enough for the WW to arrive and then see if the MIB show up. Play around with it, have fun. :)
