The Sims 4 Strangerville releases worldwide starting on February 26, 2019. The Game Pack features a new military career and its namesake location of StrangerVille, which has a theme of the American southwest in a town near a military base, much like Area 51. The pack is clearly inspired by Stranger Things, a popular Netflix series (that you should totally watch!).

Strangerville is a new town your Sims can live in, featuring 11 customizable lots. Click here for a guide to navigating the town with more pictures. There's a lot of strange activity in Strangerville, with government agents, scientists, a military presence, and tinfoil-hat wearing conspiracy types who are probably justified in their paranoia. Clearly something is amiss, given the Sims who seem to be mind controlled and pledging allegiance to Mother (Spoilers). This GP's launch features a four-part comic that is being released bit by bit (see here).
Solving the mystery in this town will reveal what's really up, and by completing the storyline you'll - at least to some degree - help snap everyone out of it. There may be a reward for doing so, as well. It seems to involve some exploration of crash sites, a laboratory, and may require you to protect your Sim from whatever's got the others mystified. In the trailer we do see military Sims using some neat gadgets (geiger counter and goop sprayer below) that may relate to all of this. I'll update with more, but for now we have screencaps of new stuff that can be seen in the trailer. I'll start video and text-guide coverage immediately on release day.
The new Military Career is a track that does allow Sims to work from home, much like the Gardener from The Sims 4 Seasons Expansion Pack. Tasks typically revolve around your Sim becoming fit, but may change later in the career. When it comes to the mystery of Strangerville, the military Sims may have unique opportunities to make progress in the storyline.

Vampires can get the infected trait by biting an infected sim, even if the sim they bite is acting normal (found this out the hard way on the first night); so Strangerville is probably a bad place to go out snacking.
