I'm very intrigued and would like to know you threes about what happened that caused the Mother to be in Strangerville.

A spaceship crashed in the crater with The Mother aboard. Scientists decided to study her, opening Pandora's Box.

Race Against the Clock: Can your elder sim turn back the clock before their time runs out?
Months later, the plant was starting to mature and seemed to become alive. It started to eat the scientists and military who would come close to it, arboreal tentacles broke free from the ground and started to release strange toxins into the air. The personnel working at the lab, even in the upper levels, were starting to become indoctrinated, infected by the spores and toxins. They'd speak of a mother and talk about greener dreams. After realising the huge thread this alien plant posed to the Simnation, Ted decided to seal the lab, and with the military, they rushed away from the crater leaving all their equipment behind barely escaping with their lives. However it was too late....possessed scientists had already taken the alien's offsprings away and planted them in their own yards only to leave the whole town infected. The mayor hired secret agents that were to help fix this mess, but all they've done, is cover the evidence.
That's my take on it.
Personally I think even in regards to the story itself Maxis was lazy, as they don't really explain anything but ok.
Scientists built a lab around her and things got out of control.
I mean, this is Little Shop of Horrors all over and I'm so sad that I've yet to see anyone sight the influence and similarities. (If they have, I haven't seen it, at least.)
Um...Spoilers for two decades-old movies AND a play...
I have a save with all those characters... I definitely see it
For my vote though it's all of the above and more. I'd also like to think of it being extradimensional being or something that came from within the earth (think Journey to the Center of the Earth kind of thing.
Right now I'm playing it out as more unknown but I'm siding with extraterrestrial.
With the passing of time, the shallow-layered crude was soon extracted fully. It sent the Roswells to a debt-spiral, which led to Ted’s selling part of his lands to the military and converting the town to a base satellite village. That was the founding point of StrangerVille
Nonetheless, for (Sim) months, Ted was still trying to find any remaining petrol well. While digging near the crater, he accidentally released the first small batch of spores (and got infected). The incident attracted the military’s attention, and they cut a deal with Ted to rent the land of and surrounding the crater. That was the establishment of the [Redacted] Lab.
After (Sim) weeks of excavating, the military scientists found the already matured M. in a burrow under the crater, and they started to study it and its origin. The personnels going in and out of the laboratory often contracted some spores, of which leading a number of bizarre plants growing in the town. The Bureau picked up on this and tried to clean up after the military, but the infection has begun spreading in a smaller scale. Unfortunately, an accident in the lab caused the ground antennae sent out strong electrical waves. That incident was “the explosion,” which the towns people called it. And that very incident also fried a cargo plane’s onboard equipment, brining it and its pilot down. The command center immediately ordered an all-personnel evacuation from the lab. Only a soldier shall stand guard in the watch tower at a shift.
A (Sim) week later, [YOUR SIM] arrived at this quaint desert town.
Edit to make corrections.
In the style of Stranger Things - someone opened another dimension and the flower took over.
