What did you think about StrangerVille?

I did enjoy the gmaeplay, but I finished it in a few hours and I'd probably never play it again
I only voted disappointed because after solving the mystery you're left with really ugly build buy items

Loving it, but solving the mystery is not the main reason for this. That's too easy (no skill requirements, no real need for money, just a point and click adventure). The pack only shines when you integreate the setting into your ongoing simming and take it slow with clearing the storyline.

I have some other gripes (mostly with the watred-down sparring), but overall I'm closer to "absolutely loved it" than to "it was okay".

Not sure if this is about the pack as a whole or just the story / mystery solving aspect of it, because the first post asks a different question than the poll. I love the pack as a whole, but voted "okay" for the story, mainly because some parts of it feel like chores, like having to befriend a scientist before they finally give you an item you need (with the military you at least have several options), and walking around too much on the too many floors of this too big laboratory. For anyone who has not yet decided which sim to solve the mystery with, I suggest you take someone who has mastered teleportation (be it through yoga or vampirism), otherwise you'll be doing a lot of walking.

I like it more than I thought I would. I'm not into that kind of thing, but I find myself craving for more content and things to do, so I got it.
I like a few cas items, the build/buy is nice, especially the victorian items. And I really like the world. It's really beautiful, it makes me travel, since I live in France I don't get to see that type of landscape. And it makes me think of the Grand Canyon which I hope to visit someday.

The mystery was short but fun while it lasted. However .

I haven't solved the story yet. I've been making friends, building, bugging and listening to the bugs. Plus I've been keeping my sim fit, so he works out a couple of times a day.

I'm having a blast playing it.

I haven't finished the game yet as I've just been taking things slowly and enjoying the views.

I've got diverted though as I've started making Oasis Springs a peripheral zone of bunkers, trailers and grotty buildings using wallpapers and objects from the pack. There are some marvellous StrangeVille builds on the Gallery to help me. I'm glad the story doesn't carry over but my Sims might train and learn here before going in! I think I derailed my first attempt by locking the lot door!

I'm no good at rpgs but the pack is worth buying for my sandbox.

I'm really enjoying it - this is the first gamepack I've been excited about playing after purchasing it because there's so much to do. I really like that I can take it at my own pace - it's a bit like Jungle Adventures, which I also loved, but a lot more weird. I don't know that it's my favorite game pack, but it's up there - aside from the story, there are quite a few things I see using over again in my main save, and I love a lot of the styles that come with this.

I loved it! I liked solving the mystery and love the new world and the southwestern CAS/Build/BUY items! The items alone are awesome! I'm hoping at some point they'll make stained glass windows to coordinate with the stained glass on the doors! And I loved the addition of the cowboy hat and laptop computer!

I would like to know where the Mother plant comes from (Alien Plant, experiment gone very wrong ?)

Do you mean solving the mystery ? No it's quite easy. And yes this is my cat Grisou :)
