I'm halfway through Strangerville and am loving it! I may have accidentally ruined Erwin Priors' life, though.
Spoilers ahead:
I wanted someone to come with me, whilst I poked around the hastily abandoned lab. I took Priors, as he was the only person I'd really started to trust in the town. Also, it seemed like something I'd do in real life. There's no way I'd go there alone - and it was his idea to go there.
We could only go so far without a key card and without the ability to hack the computers. So, we both left.
We went back to the trailer and listened to the Sargent I'd booked earlier. I felt like I'd made my own Scooby-Do or Stranger Things style team.
The next day, I went back and hacked the computers. I called Erwin in advance, but he was asleep. I got enough information to make the dossier. Then I met Erwin at his stall.
Erwin gave me the key card and I returned with him. Again, it was his idea to go there. We opened the door and went into the basement.
But - oh no!! They both inhaled the contaminated spores and passed out! Suddenly, they were both acting crazed and possessed. My Sim eventually snapped out of it. But Erwin didn't!
I'm eager to complete the adventure and solve the mystery. I'm now befriending a scientist, as Erwin isn't much help anymore.
Sorry I ruined your life, buddy! Oh and sorry for bugging you early on. I wasn't sure if you were a double agent, but you're not. I think...
Solved! Go to Solution.

@HolidayNowPlease I wouldn't worry about Erwin... I found him to be super flaky.
He is flakey because he, well, is. He is paranoid and a conspiracy sim, and I found him to have a tendency to run off...
Even so, I was friends with him. My friend did use him successfully and well on her posse, though. Have fun!

@HolidayNowPlease, the friend @SheriGR spoke of is me! Edwin was an important member of my posse!
I think @SheriGR is correct in that his paranoid personality trait makes him vulnerable to fleeing. He must have had the paranoid moodlet triggered in her game, but not in mine. However, most paranoid Sims prefer to being underground when the paranoid moodlet comes up so it might depend if you get him down to the basement whether he sticks with the posse or not. But he is not essential to you mission, so don't worry about being able to finish . Also don't worry about his well being. He will be just fine!
I hope you enjoy solving the mystery and saving Strangerville!
