The Sims 4: StrangerVille adds a mystery-driven story pack to the life-simulation game, sending your Sim to investigate a strange, unsettling phenomenon affecting a small town. It builds on the base game's open-ended household and career simulation with a narrative-focused twist.

Uncovering the town's secrets adds an investigative storyline uncommon in typical Sims content. As a game pack, it requires and enhances the base Sims 4 experience.
