In which Malcolm Landgraab is being sadistic and kicking the residents of (insert town here) out of their homes, and people are being pulled in from different universes to try to earn enough money to buy up the neighborhood and kick him out. Everyone is given a little green plumbbob that floats above their heads at all times and changes color with their moods.

Aside from your run-of-the-mill monthly events, there would also be opt-in "challenges" that players could take based on sadistic actions by players in the original games. (Such as walling people in, alien abductions, planting hedge mazes all around their house, etc.)
