      This is exactly where my mind went. I had been looking on the forums all day to see if anyone thought this too :D

      I cannot see the utility for a Strangerville refresh (?).
      I think packs as Dine Out, Get To Work and Outdoor Retreat are in DESPERATE need of a refresh instead.

      But seen the latest patch where there is a major lack of bug fixes but an updated menu nobody requested, I cannot ask for "smart" updates.

      I am completely losing my hopes over it.

      Well if its Strangerville refresh I do indeed have few suggestions for additions:
      Updated Plantsims
      • update plantsims to their former glory (actual lifestate, can grow plantbabies,perform poisonous kiss have different hairstyles/ that cool sims 2 hair)

      BUT ALSO
      • Add special interactions between plantsims and mother plant
      •add plantsim cas assets that replicate look of mother plant
      • consider link between cowplants and mother plant? mothercowplant?

      Playable Military Base
      • make additional military base lot
      • make military active career

      Zombies

      •Possessed sims already act like zombies so why not also have zombies in this pack with those animations and few additional ones and some cas assets

      • Additional Lot Challenges that let you take strangerville effects wherever you'd like

      • Saloon build items
      we all know saloons belong in strangerville even if yeah thats also kinda get famous cause of the prop is from get famous but you know...

      • Ability to turn off those strangerville hero packages because all they send you is rotten stuff or make it so they don't send you rotten stuff
      •Ability to edit strangerville lab
      (or at least parts of it if they want to keep us from messing up the doors or motherplant room )

      Maybe this is what the plant sim challenge was hinting at?
    • MichelleWMichelleW Posts: 665 Member
      It would be interesting if they used a strangerville update to introduce zombies. Hopefully if they do it's an option that can be turned off. This would be nice for the occult players though.

      What do you mean by Strangerville refresh? :/
      I'm probably one of the rare few here, but I love using the occult aspects in my Sims 4 games. xD

      They refer to an upgrade of old packs as EA did with the Spa Day pack. I thought they would refresh several old packs, but this far I think they refreshed only one. Perhaps it was a good idea during the work-from-home period, but getting less focus these days...

      I agree! Zombies are the least occult I'd like to play with but I would be happy for other players wanting them. Just let them be switchable as the fame system!

      If I get strangevile can you just live there or do you have to do the missions/storyline?
    • JestTruJestTru Posts: 1,761 Member
      @movefan89 you can live there, but without doing the storyline random sims in the hood will stay or continue to get possessed and the sky will not clear up as well as the weird plants that grow around the town.

      Not sure if someone has a mod to bypass it or if it's been added into options yet.

      I wouldn't turn new additions down by a mile, but Strangerville is arguably one of the packs I am happiest with in 4. If I were picking refreshes, I would pick other packs first.

      I am more willing to believe the next refresh will be an Outdoor Retreat refresh from the recent Twitter post mentioning it. Still a stretch, but it is the oldest pack and could use some love.

      Thanks. I would do the tasks but I also just like the world

      i think theyd be nice as lot challenge/trait in which they don't spawn outside of particular lots and don't spawn at all if you are not using the lot trait thing

      i was annoyed by them in ts3 but that was only because they kept disturbing my other occult fun and appearing absolutely everywhere with no toggles or anything to get rid of them

      *cough* much like randomized townies

      Aside from PlantSims (which can easily fit into other packs) and Simmingal's ideas on expanding the military career, I don't see what they can do with StrangerVille. The whole premise of its gameplay has baked-in flaws, and to address them would require a ton of effort. To really improve it, it would need a serious overhaul, and that effort would probably be better spent on other packs.

      Am I the only one who loved Strangerville? The team went with a pack choice that they knew was niche and not going to appeal to every player. I think PlantSims could also be great with Outdoor Retreat!
    • SerraNolwenSerraNolwen Posts: 731 Member
      I don't think it's the pack most in need of one, but if we ever do get a Strangerville refresh, I'm not entirely sure what I'd want pertaining to the story itself (maybe another chapter?). The plantsim suggestions here are interesting.

      I'd love to see some extra stuff in relation with the military career, though, especially an obstacle course (hopefully a modular one) with tires to step in, nets to crawl under, walls/ropes to climb and such (and children should be able to try the course).

      Also, do scientists and doctors from Get to Work get some kind of special interactions with this pack? If not, they should.

      Isn’t that the lettering they used in tweets when Strangerville came out? Lol

      yeah I wish they had made some fun items for the military sims

      and i feel like the military base lot should be a thing to then use the military items

      which ofc you could place on your backyard but id love actual lot for them

      there is even one on map as decoration like pls make it real lot

      also would love some pack relations between strangerville and get to work yeah but i feel like thats more of get to work refresh.. which oh boy does get to work need big big refresh

      I would love to have a military base and the people in the military career working there. I was so hoping for a workplace for the military career, so if they do refresh that pack, that’s what I want.
