Welcome to StrangerVille

“The only thing stranger than the people is the flora!”

The town’s slogan couldn’t be more true. Apart from all the weird environmental things going on in StrangerVille, the people living in the town are just as eccentric and mysterious as the town itself. I decided to dig deep into the lives of all the premade Sims in StrangerVille to give you an up close and personal look at these intriguing characters. Find out what secrets they may be hiding and how their lives are intertwined with the StrangerVille Mystery story.

Don’t worry – this article will be spoiler free. Any mention of the story mode will be brief and only related to the basic premise of the story.

The Sigworth Household

The Sigworth family is rather new in town. Jess, the mom, had to transfer to the StrangerVille National Base. After spending a few days on the base, Dylan has started to notice something is a bit off about his wife. Although Dylan is doing all he can to reassure their daughter that everything is okay, Christie is starting to catch on and it is only a matter of time before she realizes what is going on.

Household Notes

• The Sigworth household lives at Riverside Grove in the StrangerVille Plaza neighbourhood.

• Jess is featured in the official reveal trailer.
• Dylan is unemployed and has skills in gardening and cooking, which suggests he is a stay-at-home dad who cares for their daughter Christie while Jess works on the military base.
• There is a stack of papers in Jess and Dylan’s bedroom which can be searched for evidence if the player chooses to pursue the StrangerVille Mystery story.

The Cahill Household

Household Description

George Cahill was a retired pilot who enjoyed taking his beloved plane Penelope for long flights across the world. After passing over StrangerVille, there was a large flash of light, causing his plane to short circuit and crash. George has since set up camp in the cargo bay of Old Penelope and has lived on the outskirts of StrangerVille ever since. Although he has grown skeptical of the residents of StrangerVille, he means no harm and mostly keeps to himself.

The Roswell Household

Household Description

The Roswells are the oldest residents in StrangerVille. Ted Roswell has since become the mayor and has been aggressively pushing to get StrangerVille to be more technologically advanced. He has made some shady deals, but his crowning achievement has been the construction of the Crater Base and Secret Lab. Ted’s wife, Meredith, has been noticing Ted acting very strange at night. It might have something to do with his frequent visits to the Secret Lab to try and cover things up.

Household Notes

• The household description hints that there’s something wrong with Ted. Looking at his trait panel, he has the hidden Infected trait, which afflicts Sims who have eaten bizarre fruit. This is related to the StrangerVille Mystery story, but the player does not have to play through the story if they decide to play as Ted.
• Ted and Meredith have opposing traits (Good and Evil). While they have a decent relationship with each other, their traits point to some tension in the marriage.
• Although both Ted and Meredith are unemployed, their household description reveals that Ted is the mayor of StrangerVille.
• The Roswells’ home has four bedrooms, some of which hint at the presence of children, but Ted and Meredith have no children.
• There is an office in the basement with a file box and stack of papers which can both be searched for evidence if the player chooses to pursue the StrangerVille Mystery story.
• Ted and Meredith can be spotted briefly in the official reveal trailer.
• The Roswells’ surname is a nod to the famous Roswell UFO incident, where conspiracy theorists believe that a UFO carrying extraterrestrial life forms crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.

Household Notes

• The Eclectic Arts household lives at Dream Weavers Way in the Shady Acres neighbourhood.
• The Eclectic Arts household stands out from the other premade families in StrangerVille, mainly because they appear to be the only “normal” household in the town; however, upon closer inspection, Leslie has the hidden Infected trait, which afflicts Sims who have eaten bizarre fruit. This is related to the StrangerVille Mystery story, but the player does not have to play through the story if they choose to play as Leslie.
• Leslie’s hidden trait offers storytelling opportunities to players. It appears that this group of friends moved to StrangerVille having no knowledge of the town’s problems. Leslie’s infection has the potential to involve the household in the StrangerVille Mystery story.
• None of the Sims’ aspirations coincide with their skills, which may suggest they may be bored with their current creative pursuits and are looking for new creative outlets to express themselves.
• Although there are three Sims in the household, their home only has two bedrooms. This might point to a potential romance between two Sims of the player’s choosing.
• The Eclectic Arts house is the only residential lot in StrangerVille that has no file boxes or paper stacks that the player can search for evidence during the StrangerVille Mystery story.
• Alice is featured in the official reveal trailer. Mark can also be spotted briefly in the trailer.
• Alice is the protagonist of the Welcome to StrangerVille! comic series.
