It will be interesting to see if this turns out to be a one-time play-through with one Sim. If that is the case then I will probably pass on this GP as I passed on Get Famous. Can the mystery in Strangerville be solved at all? Does the game reset as it does in Jungle Adventures, so we are not playing the same game over and over with different Sims as main characters? The idea of the game pack having no lasting value once the mystery is solved isn't my idea of new content. I would play it long enough to solve the mystery then move on..

Sis, you took the words right out of my mouth. I say we start gearing up to boycott these trifling packs full of transient content. Maybe if we did like those Battlefront players did, EA would actually pay attention to what needs to be fixed and added to TS4 before running off to release these "wEiRd, nEW aNd eXciTinG pAcKs".

Although I am rather excited as I love the idea, I wholeheartedly agree to what's been said here. I will be very surprised if there's any replay value at all. It has now been confirmed that you can turn the 'infection' etc off, which means you can use the town as a more 'normal' town after solving the mystery.. but I assume it will be a case of once you've solved the mystery, then.. that's it. I really hope it's more, as otherwise not only will every Simmer on youtube have the same lets play, but also means it'll just be pointless after you've gone through the story once or twice..

The more I hear about the more excited I am getting. I'm looking forward to playing through the mystery, trying the military career and I'm most pleasantly surprised to hear there are 11 new editable lots.

Imagine the “plum??” option as the strongest curse word you can think of. That’s what I think.

Likewise.

If they'd have made a pack with regular zombies (closest lifestate to whatever this is that I can think of) it would have made sense ya know; vampire GP, zombie GP etc.


I'm now wondering if any Shaun of the Dead quotes would be appropriate yet.

This is a very new concept for the Sims so I'm very curious - that said, I'm starting to wonder why they haven't been working on the stuff the community has been asking for like Witches and University, and with TS4's life span ticking away, I'm going to be very upset if they never make these requests a reality. Like I'm gung ho for trying new things - but I feel a little let down that they're not hitting community requests a little more.

I didn't play Strangetown when it was in Sims 2 for Nintendo DS or Wii. I am not sure I will enjoy this one although the military career sounds nice.

I think the only reason I will even get this pack is for the Military career. Otherwise it's not something that i'm really interested in. However, I am glad to see something new for the game.

I am EXCITED for this pack, it looks so fun! I loved Strangetown in Sims 2, it was my favorite world. As was said above, I'm hopeful there will be another trailer. I did read the comic, and it sounds very interesting.

I wanted witches and magic. I do not like horror movies and that's what this reminds me of. Too bad too. I was really wanting laptops.

I also like how a lot of people are saying it's like Jungle Adventures and I gotta say, I haven't even finished Jungle Adventures. LOL. Or maybe I did, cuz we did find the treasure in the end... Haha, I can't remember. XD

Once you've found all the hidden locations & completed the temple, it pretty much becomes just a honeymoon location. Though I still send my sims to the temple when they need money for a bigger house, it's still the best way to make a lot of money quickly.

Looks fun & different, but what happens once you solve it, does it reset like Jungle Adventure, or does it just become a regular town after that?

I'm wondering if they'll give us the option to 'save the world,' or let it be.
