The Sims 4 follows the format of previous games in the franchise, where players can create virtual avatars and create any story they wish to pursue. While the open sandbox-style gameplay made The Sims franchise famous in its two decades of existence, The Sims 4‘s StrangerVille game pack breaks this mold by offering players a linear story-based experience. The StrangerVille pack introduces a new town of the same name, and once players enter the town, they will soon notice that something is off with its residents.
