I’m shocked she things strangerville is the worst when bateu exists…
exactly 🤠
Or my wedding story
That's what I wanted to write her too😂
she probably forgot about it… i know i do 😭
Does bateu exist?
Strangerville is one of the most underrated packs and I'll die on this hill!!
I'm there with you! It's just like the eco pack, it really should allow me to turn the features off if I'm not interested but over all, gameplay first time was fun and the world is stunning.
I agree with you!
@@mellonlord4616I wonder if there’s mods to turn off the possession because I agree it would be beautiful. I wish the build items had more variety to match the windows like simsie said but the build mode is absolutely stunning, as is the world
I will be on that hill with you!
this!!!! strangerville is literally so fun. the gameplay is so silly i love it. i honestly dont mind that i only replay the whole story once in a while like every time i do play it i have a BLAST
calling strangerville the worst pack is actually insane 🤣 it is, by far, one of the best packs gameplay wise. It is definitely repetitive but that initial play through is probably the most fun ive had in sims 4 to date.
right?? and the perks you get from either of the options you choose (slaying or joining Mother) are so good!! I keep doing it w/ every new family I play; it's almost a tradition at this point aakdnsd
@@sirgaykrovosthere's a way to join the mother?? I've only done one play through with a team of killing the mother plant😂
@@sirgaykrovos right! i defeated the mother in mine but i want to play again joining her. It was such a blast to play
she's a builder and she doesn't like the build/buy items
@@annieonpapershes not just a builder but even so gameplay is a part of packs same as build/buy! if a pack is considered one of the worst then gameplay, cas, and build/buy should all be considered. But regardless its just her opinion, im poking fun 😂
I love Strangerville and I will not apologize
Me too
Same! I love the mystery and the scifi dusty town vibe, it's awesome lol
She just said that to boost engagement in the comments
@@xythrial Maybe, but I'm stil gonna take the chance to talk about my fave game pack lol
Strangerville is actually a pretty good pack like the world is beatiful (not counting the builds), build stuff is very pretty like the doors and windows and the storyline is actually pretty fun
No fr tho like a lot of packs are really good it's just the builds suck. like glimmerbrook and del sol valley are such nice worlds, the build and buy is amazing in both packs, but their builds are atrocious
Strangerville is awesome. I love the whole storyline of saving Strangerville and wish more worlds had these kinds of things.
I LOVE STRANGERVILLE! I love the desert, I love the build items, and I did find the bunker stuff useful for rags to riches (particularly pre-Werewolves). I'm a nerd for paranormal stories, so the little references to them (like the Men In Black stealing your fridge) is catnip for me. I enjoy the gameplay, it definitely is repetitive, but if you want to play as a villain, you can make friends with the Mother and get assistance from her. The builds are disappointing, but had some great ideas, so I always download replacements off the gallery. Some mods that help - Twisted Mexi makes a mod that lets you shut off the Strangerville story and turn it back on as you want. And if you're a builder, Peacemaker IC expanded the door and window options immensely, he used the same design but now there are more options for different wall heights.
If you (like me) don't know about architecture, apparently the Strangerville design is "Carpenter Gothic," it was trying to imitate Gothic details but using wood instead of stone, because wood was cheap in the US at the time. I think it looks so cool, and just a little creepy (Gothic is always a little intimidating, you know?) it's perfect for this pack.
@@ILuvAyeAye strangerville fits really well into Victorian styled houses as well
If strangerville has no fans I am dead! It was the first sims pack I ever bought and it just has so much personality! It’s almost giving older sims game spin off energy. Yes, she’s a controversial catfish (the mother wears red? sims team WHAT? this isn’t Bella stop teasing us) but I can’t help but love her. If I’m in a gameplay slump and don’t know what to do, running thru the strangerville story always refreshes me. ❤-❤ also I love desert conspiracy vibes so so much so like…. Build stuff cool too
you talk like a 16 year old from 2014 😭
@@deadname3350 yeah that’s cause I was 15 and on tumblr in 2014 and have fallen victim to the nostalgia cycle as of late oops 😂
also it doesn’t have mc mansion energy at all!! It’s giving the exact right energy of slightly uncanny historical home and when I tell you how many sleepovers I’ve had in living rooms like this… a lot of people in old old money southern towns live like this bro.
I love Strangerville. It’s so fun and quirky and I play the storyline a lot. I don’t get people’s hate. It’s just so unique. The doors are gorgeous, beautiful world, and after you finish the storyline it’s a normal world so I don’t get the hate….
dont even get me started on the friezes and fences.... strangerville is badly underrated!
Honestly, having the quest objectives reminds me a bit of the Sims Medieval and I freaking love that game!
I agree 100% that the base game beds, couches, and kitchen counters could use swatch updates. If the couches all had a matching love seat and vice versa would be nice too. Building would be so much easier for those of us with less experience if the couches and counters had some additional colors.
windows should work like the kitchen cabinets imo, like you can choose the size and alike all from one basic window, does that make sense ? it would be so much easier
That would be so handy!
strangerville has pretty world and cool new military career that was lacking in the base game. strangerville good at least compared to ba2
I won't sit and I won't stand for this strangerville slander when batuu and mws exist
I actally like the batuu pack..... But yeah My wedding stories is.... something
@@BernadettSuvak i love the cas that came with mws but yeah, i agree
@@Mello-td6vt Yeah the CAS is good and the Build mode items arent bad either but functionality is questionable
srry but i LOVE Strangerville, it's gameplay, cas and build stuff are so good. The title for worst pack has already been held by Batuu since it came out, Strangerville does not deserve to be downgraded like that imo.
StrangerVille is one of my favorite packs so it makes me sad that people don’t like it, but I’m glad you’re making more builds for it. Personally im always looking for community lots since my legacy sims live there!
same it’s a beautiful world and i love the build items
I agree. Sims4 does a lot of wrong, but lets not bash them when they do something right. I also wish it was more like sims2 strangetown, but its still a very solid pack.
I use the Strangerville doors and windows in most of my builds 😅
i love the vibe of this house, i’m picturing your basic suburban family, mum is either a teacher or a stay at home parent, there’s a toddler and a child who dreams of being an astronaut and loves space, the dad is in the military and is secretly pondering around in the “linen closet” experimenting and researching the mother plant. i’m lowkey wanting to get stranger ville for another desert world and for the lore, but idk if i’d want to do the storyline even though i love gameplay 😭
Strangerville build items are so cool, love the victorian vibe and the « lab stuff » haha It also matches so well with other packs !
We DEFINITELY need another swatch update!! More solid (& not all bold) colours, instead of mostly a lot of patterns.
I find myself using the build stuff from Strangerville a lot because I really love Victorian houses, and I do enjoy the world. I enjoy the campy of the science stuff it comes with, but it's definitely not stuff I use very often, and I enjoyed the story line the first time i played it, and on occasional replay, but I do wish I could toggle whether I had to engage with it directly.
There’s a mod for that by twisted Mexi if you can and want to play with mods
the exterior is so coraline vibes
another day, another video of Kayla telling EA to do better. i love it.
strangerville is actually one of my favorites to build with- absolutely underrated especially when combined with a few other packs of whoevers choosing. I usually build with strangerville, base game and like 2 other packs
i’m a fan of strangerville + werewolves, they have a similar creepy vibe
@@m4tta a fantastic combo ngl I've definitely used those together before
The sims in strangerville always make me uncomfortable 😭😭😭
That's by design 😅
If you marry one, will there be genetic problems 🤔?
Perition for Kayla to make a cowolant themed build🖤🤍💚👇
I recently started playing a strangerville save again and i absolutely love it! It’s totally up my alley in terms of a story based gameplay and the world feels super unique to me
Strangerville is FAR from the worst pack…. I use the build/buy AND CAS all the time. The cas is genuinely some of my favorite, all of my male sims wear at least 2 strangerville pieces
My husband just recently got the sims, and strangerville was the first pack he got, and he loves it 😂 He loves the possessed townies, the conspiracy theorists, the weird alien plants, the trailer park, bunkers, all of it. Strangerville, university, and paranormal are the only packs he owns (he wanted to make a frat bro) and I think it's hilarious because it's such an opposite vibe than mine. I sometimes play his game to use his packs, and I love making old houses, libraries, townhouses, and old haunted mansions using the Victorian styled items. I just love how people can play the exact same game, using the exact same packs, and have such different experiences and gaming styles. 😊
The townies freak me out when they do that weird twitchy thing haha 😆
i actually kinda love this pack! i recently played through the storyline again & it was really fun, even though i had already played it before
If there would be a time for a building to be a little less pretty and more weird, it'd of course be in Strangerville, so it actually fit in more better looking strange when you think about it. Still think the build looks pretty and cool tho
Honestly, the pack i hate the most is moschino, which is common, but all i like from it is the loft windows lol
I have a soft spot for Strangerville as a whole. My Not So Berry mint generation started there, as I felt the world was perfect for the scientist career. I also love the quest based gameplay although there's no point replaying it after finishing the first time. Such an underrated pack!
I feel like this kit would work very well with industrial packs for decorating, like in the bunker having a ton of airducts and pipes and shizzle just everywhere
Strangerville is one of my fav packs. I use the B/B all the time. CAS is ok and gameplay is fun every now and again.
the shape is reminiscent of the doll house from sims 3!
Wiat, that's so cute!! :3
It takes a specific vibe to play in SV for me, but overall I like it. I also think that Creek Corner Cove lot has one of the most beutiful views of the landscape in the whole game.
I love Strangerville. I played there with my previous gen in my legacy save. The world is beautiful. The gameplay is great. The cas is amazing. I really love the pack even if most don’t like it.
Kayla being bamboozled by her own floor plan was truly the highlight of the video lol
I like to treat Strangerville as a city not too far away from Chestnut Ridge. So I keep this Wild West kind of vibe there, just say that this part of the world was strictly made because of the need for a military base and letter the families of the soldiers started to move there too and that's how the city was created. So year a ranch city with more stone buildings
its like the pink palace from coraline:))
Strangerville is incredible. Some of the best build/buy and CAS
omgg i actually loved that roof piece on the rounded porch, im soo bad at doing roofs so im def gonna try that shape
I actually love the strangerville doors and windows!!!!
I love Strangerville. I find it hilarious and delightful when my possessed sims go for their midnight runabout and come back with full needs
I actually love Strangerville, the world is cool! (Even with the scuffed builds). I like that small camper lot - very different from lots we have. I find myself using the CAS items a lot too
I LOVE the Strangerville doors, windows and fences. The style of this pack just vibes with me. I don't care too much about gameplay, generally, but I use this pack constantly for building
Is every pack the worst sims pack? I swear every new video is "I play THE WORST pack" and it's a different pack
*Do not question her powers, she has powers that we humans cannot comprehend* She can make any pack the worst pack for the sake titling the video with the word *WORST* in it.
To be honest, The Sims is overall the WORST game. But hear me out, mostly because it's so addicting, I play the series since 2001. I don't know anyone in their right mind who would willingly play a game for that long (and I still sometimes play Sims 1) and Sims 4 comes out since 2014. Some of us play since it came out, and there are some of us who were just born then 😂
Strangerville with an Alien character in the Scientist Career is one of my favorite play throughs. The two mesh perfectly. I took one of the houses there beside the RV lot and built a huge 2 story deep hidden science lab under it. Love Strangerville :)
I love StrangerVille so much--it's actually probably my favorite world. And yeah, there's not a lot of furniture if you want to build a normal house, but if you want to build a bunker/military installation/scientific research center/alien conspiracy theorist trailer, there's so much! Not everyone needs to be a normie. Also, that colander hat! It makes me smile every single time.
honestly every time she calls something “weird” it’s just because she can’t use it in a boring suburban house :/
I love this pack and I think Strangerville dont deserve this hate. There's worst packs....
White with light green accents looks so fresh to me. Definitely not a problem! I understand the struggle with the porch roof. I think if it didn't bump outwards so much, or if the porch itself was a tile wider to meet up with the outer edge of the bumpout (not sure how to explain) that the roofing would fit better. Good recovery, though!
I am absolutely in love with all of your videos they're so relaxing to watch
at the beginning when the victorian style doors were shown with the bunker style bed it immediately reminded me of Supernatural and their bunker in the later seasons. I now want to buy this pack just to make a build of their bunker. 🤣
I don't have strangerville yet, but this video has solidified my decision to get it. The build buy is super fun and the gameplay looks great too, in addition to the cas. It just seems so interesting and fun in terms of gameplay.
I actually really like this one lol
strangerville goes great with the supernatural pack for building
2:53 seconds in and you have built almost an exact replica of every old/historic house that was in my small town in Pennsylvania 😂😂😂😂 Exact! Down to the funky roofing on the rap around pouch that they clearly didn’t know what to do with😂😂😂
I'm playing there in this moment. I love this ♡
strangerville is far superior to wedding stories and that damn star wars pack 🤧🤧 (their promo for it was also by far the best theyve ever done)
I like this house, Kayla. For the kids' space themed bedroom, I would've used dark blue wall covering and dark sky ceiling paint.
Since simsie has been streaming a lot of stardew maybe she could do a sims build challenge where every room is a different randomized stardew character? That'd be so awesome!
strangerville being the worst pack meanwhile 50% of packs quite literally either dont work, break your game, or are literal scammy cash-grabs??…i get not liking it, but calling it the worst pack when For Rent, Wedding Stories, High School years, Dine Out, Batuu, My First Pets Stuff, and Bust the Dust exist is quite a stretch 😂
Strangerville has such a pretty world!! I’d love to see more builds or maybe renovations there
Honestly I love the shape of the house. I live in a historic neighborhood and the outside reminds me so much of this gorgeous house across the street from me.
I actually use strangerville a lot, I love their doors and windows so much. I also recently realized if you ignore the welcome wagon and don't go to the crater you can pretty much live normally without too much mother plant shenanigans happening
I downloaded CC for the doors and windows from Strangerville. It adds more variations for both size and height, and also has some beatiful arches to match. I absolutely love that CC.
I use Strangerville build items so often they are SO pretty
As much as I’d like (another) base game swatch update, I’d also like to see a swatch update for the older packs. Like 2014-17 old (god ‘17 was 7 years ago). A lot of them have minimal swatches and makes it hard to use some of that furniture
You know what? Now you're making me feel really old because I dropped out from uni in 2017 and I was older than most people in my bachelor programme 😂 But yeah, in regard to sims, they should do one big swatch revamp, it's really not that big of a deal to add few matching swatches to things. I mean, if they're similar style they could even add the same swatch, we would be so glad, finally something would match. If CC creators can do like 30 kitchen cabinet swatches I don't see why multi billion company couldn't do it.
A very nice desert house :D Gotta love the yeehaw picture especially 🤠
A pool is NEVER a bad idea, and I do really love gingerbread houses. Well done! ❤
Strangerville reminds me SO much of MCR’s Danger Days album❤️
seeing your growth as a creator is truly inspiring!
I love this just for the house layout and style
Honestly you should try to make a mad scientists home using only strangerville and batuu!!!
That is my most favorite lot to build on in the entire game! That view is amazing.
I am SO surprised you didn’t go colorful painted lady. This pack is perfect for that kind of build. Love using this pack because of the colorful swatches, they’re so fun.
I've had strangerville for awhile now, but I only recently played it (my first gen of not so berry started there). I have never seen gameplay or anything from it, so it was really interesting and fun to me. The gameplay didn't feel that repetitive, and I really appreciated how you had to actually have a relationship with whoever to help you fight the mother plant. I am a huge star wars fan, and actually dont hate batuu, but strangerville definitely was way more engaging. If you don't work towards a cure, there's consequences and I appreciated that in a game like sims 4 which seems so dense.
I love the outside! Now you should furnish the inside with all the packs to match that like old Victorian house energy 🥰
I agree with the windows and doors being the best! I honestly just love doing older victorsn era houses with that stuff
I love strangerville CAS items
The safe house being accessible via the restroom is one of the funniest things ever. 😂
i love strangerville it's so 1990's horror alien movie core, i love it
ok, I actually have a challenge idea that seems interesting spin a wheel with every pack that contains furniture and whichever gets picked, you not only have to make something using ONLY that pack and base game but you also have to use every single item of the pack (not base game), including debugs
Oooh nooo...its such a great pack.. i love thd lots in the hilks and the story you can play is so fun😀 also the bew career and the build items are cool❤ and these crazy sick sims running is the funniest thing i ever saw😂
Imagine if they added vibes or something so it would throw sims off it was a creepy room or whatever vibe the room would give off haha I'D LOVE THAT. Like if it had the same mechanism as the for rent pack when you split the rooms up into apartments, but this time it would be the vibe rooms would give off.
I’m not usually one to comment on videos but since I’m actively doing a strangerville playthrough, I feel like I could add my 2 cents. When I originally bought the pack, it was entire for the doors and windows, I won’t even lie. I’m not usually one to build in the desert worlds, nor am I really big on gameplay. I’ve been trying to get into different gameplay features and thought the structure of strangerville would help. This is by far the most interesting gameplay experience I’ve had so far. I built a cozy little trailer home micro home on the trailer park lot, I’ve made my sim, like, the ultimate mystery hunter (honestly might go for paranormal investigator next with her) and she just drives around investigating things, and she stumbled across Strangerville. I’m genuinely so attached to all of the townies in this world, and the gameplay itself was just a lot of fun. I’ve even thought of making up some story line if the original gang of people I recruited to fight the mother plant getting together regularly, and like one day the plant starts to regrow and no one believes her that something’s wrong. I create stories for my sims all the time, and this is the longest I’ve stuck with one, tbh. Editing to add: I won’t defend the default builds, I usually end up rebuilding most of them to fit my needs better lol. Or just to make them look better. Why does the eclectic arts household, with 3 sims, all single, have only 2 bedrooms???
the shell of this build is goofy in the most awesomest way ever
This reminds me of Bill and Frank’s house from The Last Of Us show
there really should be windows and doors for every wall height. i most often play on short wall height. also as a strangerville apologist thanks for giving it a try
It is so wild to me to see so many people like Stangerville. After the first playthrough it's basically useless, and the world would be cool to build in but I hate all the possessed sims.. so typically I avoid everything to do with Strangerville. I agree with Kayla!
The fact that I got heated when simsie started talking about this pack is honestly embarrassing since I’ve only played the storyline ONCE but I truly do love this pack. The windows, doors, and the less weird furniture are an Americana style that we don’t really in any of the other packs. I just love the vibe and idea behind it more than anything. A small town in southwestern America that was left behind in 70s along with the big secrets it holds. LOVE IT!!!
I’m in my Simsie build era because I’ve built 3 houses for my sims in the span of one week. I must be channeling that energy because the family is in Strangerville, and now Kayla is building there.
the jukebox though is cool and some scientist career decor stuff
The gameplay is awesome and everything works like it's supposed to. The only downside is that once you finish the main gameplay, there's not much replay value. But the world is amazing, the weather is usually great. The lots are forgetable, but I love to renovate bad lots.
I love strangerville. It's the only world where mystery-adventure exist literally. I solve the mystery of whats behind the possession & I even slay the monster under that lab. It's fun!
I’m screaming at the parentheses 🤣🤣 (the worst pack)
idea: zombie apocalypse bunkr made from strangerville items
i actually love strangerville, i use the fences and windows religiously
