Yes, you saw that right folks! joedy_76 has created the Sims 2 world (Strangetown) and its families (created by Sixam Sims), for The Sims 3! Check out some of the screenshots below, and head on over to joedy_76′s blog for details on this world!
Thanks to Tweety for the link!

Is there any CC or mods in the world (families are obvious)
Yes the world has 39 peices of object CC plus some other sim3 package not sure about the Families
You have to check the sites for more info on that, or leave a comment asking for details.
These are a lot better than my remakes. Almost wished I didn’t spend the time. I think I’ll wait until Seasons to install so I can make the Aliens real aliens.
STUNNING work. Literally STUNNING.
From the lot detail to the famblys themselves.
COOL I LOVED STRANGETOWN!
I wish someone would recreate Veronaville this well. Or maybe they have and I just don’t know? It’s the only neighborhood I used to play Sims 2.
There is a pretty good Veronaville here http://bearmtncreations4sims3.com/index.php?/topic/406-veronaville-finally-here/ and it is CC-free
Mod the Sims also has a Roverblossom Hills(which is also CC free)
I have this world. It’s really beautifully done! Yes, there is some custom content that comes with it. If I knew how to remove those items, I would. Sadly it keeps telling me it won’t because it’s ‘committed’ to things.
otherwise, beautiful job!
It looks awesome, will add it to the game!!!
I downloaded the world of Strangetown & all the Sim families from here. I can’t get the families to show up in my game…can you help? Thanks in advance!
Never mind….I realized that I was on the wrong site to ask for help…sorry. I went to where I downloaded them from. Thanks anyway!
Thank you!
