StrangerVille - My honest review
I was one of the lucky simmers that got early access thanks to the EA Game Changer program. https://twitter.com/AlbaWaterhouse/status/1099705890217832450 I really wanted to like this Game Pack ...

I actually think a story-focused pack could jive really well with the Sims, but not this. Since the mystery is the focus of the pack, I was hoping for either a couple possible endings or a few paths to the same ending. Like, your sim's choices would determine the tone of the mystery. Actions would have consequences. Maybe in one save your sim could take the guns blazing approach and in another she could take a more covert, science-y strategy. Seems like that's not the case.
If that's not possible, just blast quantity. I'm one of the oddballs who really adored TS3 World Adventures, because even though the tombs were always the same, there were just SO MANY quests and tombs to explore. Jungle Adventure didn't do it for me at all because it was just the one world with a handful of locations to explore and the puzzles weren't actual puzzles. Since this is just the one linear storyline with repetitive GTW-style tasks, it doesn't seem like there would be much replay value. I'm disappointed, but I can't say I'm surprised.
Does anyone know if any of the tasks require thought? Is there a puzzle-solving element, or is the story automatically progressed as you follow the checklist?
