lol I'm just gonna post my Early Strangetown stuff here.
~Welcome To Early Strangetown~
I've always liked the idea of a Early Pleasantview, and i thought it was a real thing, and guess what? There isn't one for download! Well... Not that I know of. So In case if there was, I decided to make a Early Strangetown, that Is 20 years before Strangetown starts (approximately), and Is loosely based In the 80´s, at least I tried to recreate an 80´s vibe from a person that didn't experience the 1980´s.
This Is my first custom Neighborhood, so be nice to me lol. If you got any feedback or question feel free to talk to me!
A big reminder! I have the Ultimate Collection, so all EPs and SPs are required for the neighborhood.
*Edit 04.23*: I've made some corrections to the hood including, giving jobs (some Sims had the memory of the job, but were unemployed) , fixing grades, and gender preferences! Also fixed some text that was misspelled lol! ( and giving bios to the sims that I forgot to give oops! )
*Edit 07.22*: Now I updated the download link! Because this new file doesn't have any stealth hoods attached, because I'm making a sub-hood version of Early Strangetown as a shopping district, I'm just keeping you updated cause If you don't have clean stealth hoods, you will have all of those bin families from the EP's
*Edit 11.06*: Another update, mostly correcting the biographies for the sims, like typos and bad grammar. And fixed the apartment that the Loste family lives.
DOWNLOAD: Early_Strangetown
ALT_Early_Strangetown
CC NEEDED: SIMS 2 STORE, PREORDER, MISC ITEMS
Just to clarify! The maxis match version, means that the oldest parents in each family got their original face from Strangetown, and their children are genetically correct, with their facial structures matching their parents.
I hope this helps! But if you're still confused, you can message me, no problem! I'll try my best to explain lol
EARLY STRANGETOWN AS SHOPPING DISTRICT:
DOWNLOAD: Early_Strangetown_SUBHOOD
Alt_Early_Strangetown_SUBHOOD
This Is a subhood version of the neighborhood, as a shopping district (OFB) you are going to put the neighborhood In this directory:
UC : C:\Program Files\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Best of Business\EP3\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate
Non-UC : C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Open For Business\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate
~Neighborhood Description~
Knowledge-seeking Sims move to Strangetown to find the truth. Do aliens live among us? Do Sims die mysteriously here? And is the rumor true that a woman has secretly disappeared in this town? In Strangetown, nothing is as it seems.
~Now on with the info~
I've renovated the residential lots, except 2 Cover Up Road, that's too iconic to renovate lol. And the community lots have not been changed.
About the families, they are just the parents of the premades, and the premades themselves. I´ve recreated their faces, which means that the faces are custom.
But I also included a Alt Hood, for the maxis match version of their faces (I extracted the facial structure of the premades parents from the @meetmetotheriver clean template of Strangetown, thanks to @strangetomato we have no corrupted faces!).
The hood comes with:
10 Families (The Muenda family, Nigmos, Specter, Curious, Grunt, Vandermorgan, Loste, Salamis, Loner.);
2 Families In the bin (Smith and Beaker);
9 Inhabited Residential lots;
3 Uninhabited Residential lots;
1 Apartment;
2 Community lots;
20 Adult Townies;
5 Townie Children
5 Teen Townies + 1 JOYFULL surprise!
I've made the all the sims genetically correct (through CAS). And made some genetic changes to fit the sims better, for exemple, Circe's father, his hair genetics is originally black, but i made it red, because i couldn't see Circe without her lovely red hair!
And i've given some of the sims Secondary Aspiration, just to fit the story, for example, A.P. and Jacqueline Vandermorgan, although they are Family sims, i gave them Secondary Popularity and Fortune (respectively) to fit their personal Bio.
And final thing i changed! The ages! I had to tweak some of the ages to kinda make sense, at least In my head. Like, basing of Olive's memories, at this point in the Hood, Lyla would already be dead, so i changed the time of the events, so that all of the sims would be In the same-ish stage of their life.
Here you can see the stories for the playable families!

not to be a bother, but when checking who i can teleport from the loner house in your early strangetown hood (the one with genetically correct sims,) there appear to be 2 clones of ajay, one named AJ instead of ajay. AJ has the face of the maxis ajay but the normal ajay has the genetically correct one. AJ doesn't appear in the house when i play, and he doesn't age with the story progression mod, so i had to move him in the muenda house to see what he looks like. this isn't really a problem for me, though, it actually may add some spice to the plot. i made it so that in the story for this neighborhood, ajay has a secret twin that his father strangely has never heard about. i let ichabod specter adopt AJ. i am so sorry if i don't realise this is intended or not
Hi anon! Don't worry, you don't need to apologize! I'm glad someone found poor AJ! He was kinda of a mistake, but i worked him into the story! And i love this story with Ichabod adopting him!
Idk if anyone cares about how AJ and Ajay came to be, but here i go
Since i wanted Ajay to be a baby in Early Strangetown, i couldn't make him in CAS, so i made Madhuri have a baby before i killed her off- she was abducted.
But in every pregnancy i made her have, she always had twins! At that time, i didn't use something like the Sim Manipulator, for her to have a single child, so i didn't know what to do. But i guess the thing i did was incorporate the forgotten twin into the story.
Madhuri knew that she couldn't raise two kids at once, so unfortunately she put AJ for adoption, but she didn't had the courage to talk about that with Vidkram, so it was her little secret, that she never told because she was abducted and never returned!
It sucks that the children in the adoption bin don't grow up, my intent was that AJ could be adopted right at the start of the game, so the ages could sync with Ajay. In my playthrough (that in fact, i never posted because the screenshots were messed up :C) I made Glabe Curious and Daisy Loste get married and they adopted lil AJ, and that became the Singles household, Glabe Singles, Daisy Singles and AJ Singles.
And one last thing, i don't know if anyone knew about Ajay's bio, it (kinda) referenced the exist of his twin, it goes like this:
''Ajay always dreams of mirrors, I think the idea of a clone kind of haunts him.''
I hope someone found this interesting, i personally love seeing how other people create their projects, i find it very interesting! Thank you for listening to my TedTalk.
