Why not Strangetown!?
Did we get an answer from the SimGurus on why it's called Strangerville and not Strangetown? Why not just build on top of Strangetown from TS2? A little continuity?

The devs confirmed a long time ago that Sims 4 does not exist in the same universe as the previous games. And so, they are not part of the chronology that runs The Sims 3, The Sims and The Sims 2. As such, their landmarks and settlements would not be identical either.
