Uncover the mystery, stop the infection, and become the hero of a very strange town…
What Is It?
StrangerVille is a story-driven game pack, unlike any other in The Sims 4. The included aspiration walks you through the entire mystery of the town, using gameplay tasks to slowly unravel the truth behind the possessed Sims, strange spores, and that creepy lab.
| Focus | Details |
|---|---|
| Category | Mystery / Story |
| Required Pack | StrangerVille |
| Key Skills | Programming, Logic, Charisma (for persuading) |
| Helpful Traits | Outgoing, Geek, Active |
| Best Career Pairing | Military or Scientist |
Reward Trait: None
Unlike standard aspirations, StrangerVille doesn’t unlock a gameplay-based reward trait. However, your Sim will:
- Become the town hero
- Cure StrangerVille of infection
- Earn a commemorative wall plaque
- Remove the “possessed Sims” unless you choose to leave the infection active
How to Start
- Move a Sim into StrangerVille
- You’ll see a pop-up card asking if you want to begin the mystery
- The aspiration will auto-assign if accepted, or you can choose it manually from the aspiration panel under the Mystery category
- All clues and progress are stored in the Notebook (via the phone icon)
- Make friends early! You’ll need them to get key items and fight the final boss
Bug Warning: If the Bizarre Fruit won’t grow, visit the Curio Shop daily it appears in stock for §9 eventually
