Neighborhood Strangetown

Mayor Honest Jackson is the leader of Strangetown in The Sims 2 for Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance. His secret is that he likes writing romance novels, but doesn't tell anyone. Mayor Jackson strongly disapproves of Frankie Fusilli due to his gangster ways; otherwise, he's known to really care for the citizens of Strangetown.

The Sims 2 (DS)

Mayor Jackson is the mayor of Strangetown in The Sims 2 for Nintendo DS. He will help the player through the first part of the game. Frankie does not like him and will make the player give him a gift that sets his office on fire (which the player will have to put out, of course).

His secret is that he has an idea for a romance novel set in ancient Egypt, and has already written 7 pages.

After Ava Cadavra arrives in Strangetown, he disappears from the game. Although he will claim to be in the city hall when called, he will not appear. This is due to a scripting error; he was never supposed to leave the town.[1] He can be brought back with the use of hacks.

The Sims 2 (GBA)

In The Sims 2 for Game Boy Advance, Mayor Jackson plays major and minor roles in a handful of episodes.

During the first episode, "It All Begins," he will show up at Dusty Hogg's welcoming party for the player, realizes that the party was NOT the recycling referendum, and immediately runs out to vote on a recycling bill. If talked to before, he will talk about how recycling is a HOT topic in Strangetown and that he has an important meeting that he is already late for. There is an episode later on where he discusses a toilet paper recycling bill, and another episode after that where he mentions how terribly the proposal of said bill went.

In "A Brand New Scent," Mayor Jackson is one of the men enchanted by Kayleigh Wintercrest's perfume and will make the player knock out his competitors, Sancho Paco Panza, Auda Sherif, Tristan Legend, and Emperor Xizzle. Once the player gets rid of them, he will ask the player to go get Kayleigh for him.

He informs the player of Penelope Redd's kidnapping in "There was this Mummy."

He also sent the player on a series of quests in "Triassic Trouble." After digging up all the bones in Jebediah S. Jerky's farm for Frankie, Mayor Jackson will catch the player and demand that they hand the bones over to the city. Once the player does and goes to talk to Frankie, Jimmy "The" Neck will inform the player that Mayor Jackson wants them, but he doesn't remember why. As it turns out, he had been trying to program Optimum Alfred to transport the bones to Miniopolis, but had accidentally put them up for auction instead. The player will have to go and talk to Mamma Hogg, Ava Cadavra, Misty Waters, Bigfoot, and Kayleigh, and recover each part of the dinosaur and return it to him. At the end of the episode, he will make the player assemble the dinosaur in the saloon. Frankie tells the player to arrange the dinosaur incorrectly, and the player will have the choice to assemble it correctly, which will make Mayor Jackson happy, or do it incorrectly, which will make Frankie happy.

Mayor Jackson is standing over Optimum's arm in "It All Comes to an End."

Randomly during episodes, Mayor Jackson may call the player with any one of these three random messages:
