SimGurus are on a roll this week with new information and answers to a LOT of questions regarding The Sims 4 StrangerVille Game Pack. Although we already have a first part of the SimGuru Q&A Tweets collection (THAT YOU CAN CHECK OUT HERE), we thought it would be best to share a whole new batch information in a new post.
We’ll make sure to update this post with new tweets and answers as they surface!
The stairs are probably deco? 🤔

What stairs? There's no stairs? Even if there were (which there aren't) it would 100% be deco. So no point in trying them, amirite? But there's none so it doesn't even matter anyways.
Keep moving please.

Yes, TOTALLY 100% decorative, nothing to see here, move along. 🤥

I wish, but sorry, no. Don't want you guys to get hyped for something that's not there.
— Aaron Houts (@SimGuruHouts) February 21, 2019
Yes. New residential world, new objects to use, new Military career, new Build and decorative objects. You can play through the story multiple times if you want, but it's not randomly generated, so it won't be wildly different for new playthroughs. It's not a short story though.

Same price as other game packs. In the US, that's $20. I'm not sure about pricing for other territories.

You can play the story with multiple Sims if you want to, but it's mainly geared around one Sim. When playing with multiple Sims, you'll sometimes want to transfer things from one Sim's inventory to another.

Also depends on whether you only focus on the story or whether you weave it into your Sim's day-to-day stuff (work, other events, etc.). I know some people will think 3 – 5 hours is short, but stuff like the Military career, new world, and new objects give the pack longevity.

The motor home is world deco. There seems to be a ton of interest in motor homes though so maybe we'll have to do something with them in the future.

It's the same story each time. If you watch other playthroughs, you will have things spoiled for you.
— Aaron Houts (@SimGuruHouts) February 21, 2019
There are ways to play through the story again with the same save file. I don't want to spoil how though. 🙂
— Aaron Houts (@SimGuruHouts) February 22, 2019
Sorry, but there aren’t apartments in StrangerVille.
— Aaron Houts (@SimGuruHouts) February 22, 2019
The two venue lot types in StrangerVille are a Bar and a Library. Any Bar or Library in StrangerVille will have some of the special situations/interactions, no matter which lot you put them on.
— Aaron Houts (@SimGuruHouts) February 22, 2019
Yes. Also, Military Sims will have some unique ways of progressing through the story if their rank is high enough. There are also certain skills that can benefit your investigation (but aren't required).

Yes. Not to mention all the things that contribute to your general, typical Sims experience. https://t.co/1OUgSuybMn

It was also confirmed by SGHouts on reddit that there is not a military base, nor bunkbeds.
