Strangetown Chronicle
My Favorite Sims 2 Neighborhood
Despite never really playing with Strangetown's premade families as a kid, I've always been enamored with their lore and would sometimes boot up the hood just to read the family descriptions over and over again. I was really into the Beakers’ whole mad scientist couple thing and Olive’s creepy garden cemetery. I think I was just afraid to mess the vibe up with my gameplay (and let’s be real, Strangetown is more of an imaginative storytelling kind of town and younger me sucked at that). None of that nonsense anymore! ■
Fun Fact
In the official Russian localization Strangetown is called Kitezhgrad which is a reference to the mythical city of Kitezh that supposedly went underwater and was thus saved from the Mongols. This legend has religious origins but I feel like in modern day it's associated with mystery and intrigue rather than God or salvation, at least in the general public's consciousness.
