It definitely sounds like Pod People to me. A lot of the hints are very plant-ish.
"The arboreal mind dreams through our fleshy eyes" - they're being controlled by a tree
"Consume the fruit of the mother" - pretty straightforward. Probably a literal fruit.
"Open your eyes to the beauty of her blossoms" - again, blossoms? Trees/plants?
Other stuff does point to space/extraterrestrials, though. Like
"Look to the sky, it welcomes us all"
"Join us in the crater"
Both of those seem pretty space-y.
And the "Beauty Beauty" literally is sometimes interrupted by "Bella", so this is definitely related to Bella Goth. There's definitely a new world that's desert-y. Definitely new military stuff (probably just a career, though I'd LOVE to see the return of military school). And the "Water is love, water is life" could be related to plants OR the desert.
But, what's both spacey and plant-y? Pod People. Plants that possess you/clone you/replace you from outer space.
If this IS Strangetown (and considering both the references to Bella and the use of the actual word "strange", it probably is) I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Strangetown Bella isn't original Bella at all, but a Podsim replacement. Maybe THE Podsim leader/hivemind.
But I assumed we're getting a doomsday/prepper/military game pack, with Strangetown (or a related locale) as a new world, and some kind of Podsim mechanic where sims can either get possessed and/or cloned and replaced.
I HOPE this has some kind of interaction with existing aliens, expanding their play. But they might be avoiding that, given the (rightful) backlash towards DLC for DLC. They'd either have to include aliens in two packs or be very careful in how aliens play into this new pack so people don't get upset that they need to buy one DLC to get another DLC to work.
