Loner Camp - Skoolie

(Outskirts of Strangetown)

[More to explore: Lemon Drink & Ink - Trailer]

inspo credits + more:

I thought that a Skoolie would be perfect for my game's AJ Loner, and luckily I already had moocha-muses' 4t2 conversion of pepperoni-puffin's Build-a-Bus Kit to make it happen! I got some inspo from letitsimmer's speed build video to add on a trailer, and omgzephyrsims' speed build video to add on a garage :) My AJ Loner is an artist, so I made him a new bus pattern and added some of moocha's 4t2 graffiti to try to get his bus' exterior to fit this type of vibe:

THE OCCULT LEGACY ~ Generation 1: The Scientist

You can find the rules to this challenge here.

After leaving home for the first time, you find yourself living on the outskirts of a desert town. You’re not there for very long before you start to notice strange things flying through the skies and the locals seem to act as if nothing is out of the ordinary especially the odd green ones. You apply for a job at the local lab as these irregularities inspire you to question; what’s out there?

Rules / Goals ❌ lifetime wish; scientific specialist or creature-robot cross breeder. ✔️ required traits; genius, socially awkward, coward ❌ career; scientist. ✔️ spouse; no marriage. ✔️ location; strangetown. ❌ children; product of abduction only. ❌ limit on children: no, but the heir must be an alien. ❌ max skills; logic, handiness. ❌ other; become a grand master of chess.

It's taken me over a year to play through (I got distracted a couple of times, haha) but Strangetown round 5 is done! It's been a wild ride, thank you as always for reading <33

WELCOME TO PLEASANTOWN

PART 1 part 2!!! this took much more thinking than the previous one but i hope it turned out just as engaging :) i'll likely make another post with more details also big thanks to al-pomegranate-seeds for the ideas you sent me earlier, it really helped! the descriptions are below 🔽

GRUNT = DREAMER Professor Buzz Grunt is a respected researcher in his field, as well as an aspiring history novel author. However, after the unfortunate fire accident and the loss of his wife it became harder to provide proper education to his sons. Can his golden child Tank prove his worth to this demanding dad? Is he really ready to make a commitment to the new Specter heiress for the sake of the family?

SMITH = PLEASANT

Jenny always knew that there will be difficulties with cross-cultural relationships, but between juggling family and career problems, her way too secretive husband is just too much to keep track of. What is he hiding? Will Johnny be able to fit in and reconcile with his little sister? SPECTER = GOTH

When the head of Specter Industries was about to retire and pass the business to her son, he disappeared without a trace. Is there a possibility that this is the doing of someone with eyes set on her fortune? Can Olive really entrust the inheritance to her niece Ophelia?

CURIOUS = BROKE

Economy is tough and passion for science is expensive, so the Curious brothers have to share the living space to get by. After the birth of Tycho things have become especially challenging. While Lazlo is invested in dubious hacking activity, and with Vidcund eager to fund another one of his “secret science projects”, can Pascal cope with his new role as a cosmic parent? And what about the rumor that the Specter heir was last seen scaling the deck of their house?

SINGLES = CALIENTE

Lola and Chloe arrived to Pleasantown to reconnect with their roots, or so they claim. Have they really been missing the fatherly affection, or do they have ulterior, fiscal motives?

LOSTE = LOTHARIO

Kristen doesn’t particularly care for Pleasantown, but she has to admit that people here are quite the attraction. She is committed to her dream of becoming a world famous sports champion. Is her commitment to Erin Beaker just as genuine?

BEAKER = BURB

After graduating from college, Erin moved in with her brother and his wife while she’s trying to adjust to adult life. While Loki is being hospitable, Circe is growing tired of tarot readings and psychic seances. Can Erin’s newfound love help out before Circe turns her into a makeup testing animal?

💬 i hope there is enough drama to make this work hahaha i'm also planning to post a couple of other characters and notable townies swapped separately

Welcome to Pleasantown !

People move to Pleasantown hoping to find peace and tranquility... and not knowing about the nice mess they just got themselves into. Rivalries, tension and strange events are a common sight in this town... is it true that aliens live among us? Did people really go missing? Can anything be done to get the neighborhood feeling good again, or will the drama drive all the inhabitants away?

This was inspired by a post by @budgieflitter and I thought the idea was super cool. I added some townies, gave the lots a refresh, and here we are. Our favorite Sims from Strangetown, in an alternate timeline where they live in the Pleasantview setting and their lives took an entirely different direction. The only big difference between Budgie's Pleasantown and mine is that Ajay is deceased in this hood ; I tried to make the rest as faithful to their post as possible.

 INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS : • For the main hood, copy the PLST folder to your [Your Name] / Documents / EA GAMES / The Sims 2 / Neighborhoods folder. • For the subhood, copy the SPST folder to your C: / Program Files (x86) / EA GAMES / The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection / Best of Business / EP3 / TSData / Res / NeighborhoodTemplate folder. You will have to add it to your primary neighborhood as a business district.

The hood has seven playable families, all the townies from Maxis Strangetown and the NPCs from the DS game. I rebuilt the Pink Flamingo with some pics I found as a reference, and it is owned by none other than Hoot Howell ! Yup, he's there.

The hood also comes with a French version, for those whose game is in that language (j'ai pensé à vous les mecs, j'ai même fait l'effort de faire des jeux de mots pourris avec les noms des ex-maris d'Olivia Chimère, ce que la VF originale n'avait pas fait).

I had so much fun adding a viewing area for the crash site in strangetown! 🛸💫 (It's all hood deco)

[simsllama]

Been sorting out my Sims 2 hood pairings:

🌳 Pleasantview (PV) – using @strangetomato's PV with a twist, paired with Sim State University (SSU), Downtown (DT), and Bluewater Village (BV).

🛸 Strangetown (ST) – @chrisnewbie's PSP version, linked with La Fiesta Tech (LFT), Viper Canyon (VC), and Desiderata Valley (DV) using @katatty's DV makeover.

🎭 Veronaville (VV) – paired with Academie Le Tour (ALT), Belladonna Cove (BC), and Riverblossom Hills (RH) with @katatty's RH makeover.

All hoods include all vacation destinations obviously. I also plan to use @katatty's DT and uni hood makeovers in the future.

okay, maybe i am the one obsessed with him.

People went missing all the time in Strangetown.

And if it seemed a little suspicious, so what? They'd be looking for an adult woman, not some teenager.

She hated to leave without saying goodbye to her daughters, but they'd be fine. She'd raised them to be tough. And Loki? She'd miss him, but he was a lost cause.

Ajay's Hardwares and Tunes where you can buy a vhs tape of the finest strangetown music and its just 2 aliens playing in the middle of the desert dressed in nothing but neon speedos and a cowboy hat

Psychic & Tarot Readings by Erin "Erin spends a lot of time working on her psychic powers. Of course, she isn't really psychic, but don't tell her that."

Strangetown is bustling with new businesses- including Erin Beaker's Psychic business, where she'll read your palm, heal your soul or grant you peace of mind- for a small fee, of course. Whether she's a fraud or not, the business has proven quite successful.

What can be better than Strangetown? More Strangetown!

I've been working on this for quite a while...

This is Strangetown DLC! Custom subhoods for our dear desert town.

First I wanted to create subhoods for my strangetown, and it got quirky, strange, and dramatic really quickly. So I couldn't keep it only to myself and share this subhood and next ones when it will be ready. I will keep the usage of CC to minimum, I promise!

I will keep updating on it's development.

My renovated Strangetown!
