The Sims 2 for Nintendo DS is the first DS game of The Sims 2. Like the many of the console games it takes place in Strangetown with some of the same faces. The plot is quite simple, the player's character arrives in Strangetown after crashing their car. The local old guy Jebidiah S. Jerky, who informs them that "your engine has more holes than a donut shop," and they should probably check in at the local hotel. An interesting coincidence is that the manager of the hotel left the previous day and has left a note at the check in desk addressed to the player's character stating that they are the new manager of the hotel.
