(Also Ted Roswell too, by the looks of things. Alice got him good!)
While I'd seen the end of someone else's playthrough stream while I was half asleep and fairly feverish, this was mostly a blind run and I surprisingly enjoyed it? I can see why Strangerville is a fairly niche pack but it gives you stuff to do.
More shots of the vanquishing heroes:
Leslie already greatly exaggerating their exploits lmao.
And while Simone and Alice peaced out for some well-deserved rest, Leslie and Mark remained behind and appeared to be having a... moment? Is this the end of the Dream Weaver's Way love polygon, @cantseemtohide and others? Stay Tuna'd.
It all commenced with a curious light up yonder in the night sky. I tried tellin' myself it was nothin' more than a semi-truck rollin' on by, but how in tarnation were them lights so god-dern bright, even up in the upstairs bedroom? And why in the devil was the light such a peculiar shade of green?
Well, it weren't too long afore they'd got us good 'n surrounded. We bunkered down, but we warn't gonna give up the ghost without a scrap. We caught 'em flat-footed, and I darn well managed to bring one of them contraptions down with my trusty shotgun and a mite of good fortune, while Muriel kept 'em busy. But I'll be hornswoggled, our luck didn't last long at all when another one of them blasted saucers hoisted her right up into the heavens.
Now it's just me, trapped down here in the ol' root cellar, awaitin' 'til them space critters take me, or my sweet cow finds her way back home.
Lot details:
Lot Type: Residential
Price: §55,887
Location: Old Penelope, StrangerViille
I’ve used from all packs freely here, with Cottage Living and StrangerVille in the starring role
Muriel (the cow currently being beamed up into the UFO) is—understandably—a bit hard to care for in her current predicament. Luckily, you can still track down her teeny tiny animal shed in the air to call her out for the full tractor beam effect!

what is strangerville without our local conspiracy theorist? 👽💅
erwin becomes odie's reluctant sidekick after she stops some rogue militia giving him a hard time outside his market stall. initially wary of her due to her ties to the very conspiracies that he spends his days theorizing over, he soon learns to put his concerns to one side in order to save his little sister. after all, odie chicken may be strangerville's only hope.
camera idea came from @puppycheesecake's amazing erwin makeover, check it out here!
Another Bonus Strangerville Lookbook
Ft. Margaret “Maggie” Pries (Again)
Well... I dressed Erwin's big sister up again! Look at her adorable, sad face... I just couldn't help myself! She's my chaotic little queen of poor decision-making, a living embodiment of the tortured artist stereotype, a girl who is a cancer rising, sun, and moon (iykyk). Maggie Pries, you would love the Y2K fashion renaissance here on simblr.
If you like this lookbook and want to know more about Maggie, you can check out her original lookbook HERE. If you’re interested in more details regarding my Strangerville story, check out my Strangerville tag!

Erwin's steps plod back and forth from the Curio-shop to his van as he loads up his wares for the end of the work night. Clicking off the old radio, an unusually eerie silence settles in, an unsettling stillness Erwin hasn't felt since the dreaded Bizarre Fruit incident. The sudden shift in atmosphere sends a shiver down his spine as the ground beneath his legs begins to violently tremble.
A beam of blinding light pierces the dark Strangerville skies, looming imposingly from above, sending alarms blaring through Erwin's mind. He knows all too well what's happening to him: alien abduction. Despite having meticulously prepared protocols for such moments, fear paralyzes his body, rendering his limbs useless.
Returning to his senses all too late, the beam envelops him, obstructing his vision completely. He feels a perverse sense of weightlessness, as if the ground had left him stranded, to fend for himself alone against the void. Despite his desperate attempts to scream, his voice is silenced by the suffocating grip of panic. Frantically flailing his arms for anything within reach, the crushing sense of defeat overwhelms him as he faces the harrowing embrace of finality. Erwin clenches his teeth, bracing himself for the unimaginable horrors awaiting him above.
Just as he feels himself being swept away, a firm grip closes around his wrist, yanking him back from the brink. He crashes back to the desert floor with jolting force, his body jarred by the abrupt contact.
The dust settles and Erwin finds himself back inside his Curio-shop. The menacing beams of light are gone, but their effects linger, leaving him dazed and disoriented. He fights to catch his breath, and a presence is there to aid him, followed by a sudden thwack! over his head. He flinches, uncertain if he's still under attack or if the blow came from the entity who saved him. Through the haze, he hears a soft but stern voice. "What the hell is wrong with you?" The voice seethes with anger. Erwin struggles to open his eyes, feeling like he recognizes the voice of the angel in question, "...Coni?"

EDIT: YES I wrote "bizarre" wrong, I apologize, English is not my language 💀 In italian it's "bizzarro", so I had a bit of confusion...
WARNING: I'm remaking this set from scratch because I discovered new things. This set works but I mistakenly used the fairy statue as the base thinking it was Base Game, when in fact it's from Mansion & Garden, so if you don't have M&G you won't see these cc in your game. It's NOT your fault, it's my fault because I remembered wrong. In the new version I'm working on, in addition to solving the compatibility problem (I'm using a BG base, the plants could be decorations OR lights that you can turn on and off, with the addition of many other swatches! I'm still deciding whether to make one thing or another.
(It depends if I can make cc lights, I'm still a beginner) also...I want to include Sixam plants from Get To Work in a part 2 or 3 👀
SO: You can continue to download and use these sets if you have M&G. I also checked the files and the error in the name is present only in the .rar, in the folder and in the file names, but in game the names are correct (I mistakenly wrote Bizzare instead of Bizarre, but in game the cc is called Bizarre) so if it bothers you just rename the packages! (How you would rename any file and folder)
In the meantime I will work on the updated version!
I always had the headcanon that Vidcund was one of the scientists who studied the mother plant, and because of that I always wanted to have a bit of Strangerville in my game but I never found the converted plants!
Some have already been converted (like the vines) but I wanted to have a complete set (also because I made my own edits!) I couldn't find the other plants anywhere for YEARS! (I'm very sure that after this post I'll see a post from someone who converted them like yesterday...but never mind!)
Since I couldn't put the intermittent light effect, I decided to create some glowing versions!
The difference between Glow 1 and Glow 2 is that Glow 1 uses a white light, while Glow 2 uses a purplish light which makes the plant slightly more saturated!
I only made one glowing version of the Unhealthy Bizarre Plant because...well, it's the dead version of the plant! It wouldn't make sense if it lit up! (Since it is absent in Glow 2 and 3, if you decide to use these sets you could use Unhealthy Bizarre Plant from the other two sets)
They all cost 0 Simoleons (Well... I had no idea what price to put!) and you can find them in decorations > indoor plants!
They have no animations! They are static decorations unfortunately!
I hope it's clear because I would hate to disappoint anyone, but as I have already explained, they do not light up intermittently. They aren't lights. The no glow version doesn't turn on, the glow version is permanently on. If I can, in the future, if someone wants I can try to create a version that works as a light that can be turned on and off! Remember that I'm a beginner, I do what I can ^^"
I thought too late that it would have made more sense to categorize them as outdoor plants 💀 If it bothers you, you can change the category on simPe (Open the packages on simPe > Go in Object Data, in this page you can put the plants where you want them!) or wait until I'll fix the category with a future update!
Only use one set! (You can choose plants from each set individually, but don't use different version of the same plant, it has the same guid!)
I changed some textures from 1024 to 512, and compressed everything! Let me know if there are any problems!
