The Sims

Neighborhood 1

Neighborhood 2

The Mashuga family Frankie and Sylvia Marie are a married couple living in a very unique house. Ambiguously Jewish: Their surname is a Yiddish vocabulary word rather than a Jewish name, but still.

Meaningful Name: Their surname is Yiddish for "crazy" and they live in a bright pink octagonal house, sleep in a vibrating heart-shaped bed, have a safari-themed animal print living room and a life-sized statue of a naked man in their bathroom.

Sickening Sweethearts: If the decor of their house (particularly the bedroom) is anything to go by. They also have a fairly high starting relationship, which could be an attempt to nudge the player in this direction. Frankie and Sylvia Marie are a married couple living in a very unique house.

Old Town

The Goth, Sr. family The elderly parents of Mortimer Goth, and their two pet cats. Granny Classic: Cornelia is outright stated to be this to Cassandra.

Happily Married: Gunther and Cornelia has a great relationship, especially considering their relationship level during The Sims 3.

Skunk Stripe: Gunther has black hair with grey hair on the sides.

Older Than They Look: Gunther looks to be middle-aged and does not have fully grey hair, despite the fact that he's older than his wife who looks much older,

Waistcoat of Style: Gunther has a very stylish grey, old-fashioned suit. The elderly parents of Mortimer Goth, and their two pet cats. The Hick family Middle-aged former beauty queen Mama Hick lives with her grown son, Elden, and their three dogs. Brainless Beauty: Mama is a former beauty queen who lost her money to a phone psychic.

Incest Subtext: Unfortunately, the limitations in the game engine that treat all cohabiting adults as spouses for some purposes cause this on occasion.

Meaningful Name: They live in a shabby trailer, their stove is on the front yard and the mother lost all her money to a scammer.

Southern-Fried Genius: Despite likely having little-to-no formal education, Elden is implied to be intelligent and is known to enjoy classical music. Middle-aged former beauty queen Mama Hick lives with her grown son, Elden, and their three dogs. The Burb family Consists of a down-to-earth farmer, his fashionable wife, their young son, and his dog. A Boy and His X: Johnny and Tucker are a classic, wholesome, 1950s-stereotype example of the "a boy and his dog" trope.

Call to Agriculture: The men of the Burb family definitely have some trace of this. Brad has moved his family from the city to the suburbs so that he can become a full-time gardener, an ambition later shared by his son in the sequel.

Generation Xerox: Prior to the game, Brad convinces Tiffany to move from the city to the suburbs so that he can have a garden, and she agrees despite her reservations. In The Sims 2, the exact same scenario plays out between their now-adult son John and his wife, Jennifer.

Meaningful Name: It's a contraction of "suburb", where the men of the family prefer to live. Consists of a down-to-earth farmer, his fashionable wife, their young son, and his dog. Ginia Kat An elderly woman living alone with her four cats. Crazy Cat Lady: Downplayed since her personality is actually very sweet and well-adjusted, if a little on the shy side. She does have four cats, though - and her bio mentions that she likes to write and illustrate children's books based on them in her spare time.

Granny Classic: Possibly the purest example in the game in terms of appearance and temperament, except for the fact that she has no kids or grandkids in evidence. The Sims 2 reveals that she adopted Tara sometime after The Sims 1, so it's easy to imagine her fitting this trope to all intents and purposes, though of course she's actually Tara's adopted mother rather than her grandmother. An elderly woman living alone with her four cats. Claire Charming A friendly young woman who lives alone with her pet dog. Hospital Hottie: While she's perhaps not in-your-face stunning, Claire is a very pretty Sim who works in the Medical career.

Meaningful Name: Claire Charming is easily one of the nicest characters in the game: she works in medicine because she likes helping people as well as being super-smart, likes to volunteer in her spare time, is witty, has esoteric interests in live music and biotechnology; and yet she's not the least bit arrogant or unapproachable, and has one of the highest nice point ratings in the whole game. A friendly young woman who lives alone with her pet dog.

Bluewater Village

"Come enjoy an exciting new shopping and entertainment destination! If you're looking to update your closet, your image or your family room, Bluewater Village will have something for you." Bluewater Village is a shopping district sub-hood that shipped with The Sims 2: Open for Business. There are five families already moved into the town, along with the Gieke and Larson families in the family bin (see the family bin tab for information on them). Bluewater Village doesn't have a long neighborhood story, as the main idea is for the residents to make money and expand their businesses. The community lots are all designed to be run as owned businesses. The Delarosa Household "Looking for a way to say I love you? Look no further than Delarosa Flowers. Florences arrangements are almost as famous as her delicious pasta dishes. The secret to her sauce? Rose-hips!" The Delarosa Household consists of one sim; Florence Delarosa, who runs a flower shop out of her house called Delarosa's Flowers. She's said to be shy, but that could just be because she's new to the neighbourhood and has been too busy setting up her shop to make friends. Caring Gardener: She has a flower garden, and she has a good amount of Nice points.

Feminine Women Can Cook: According to her household description, Florence's pasta dishes are famous.

Floral Theme Naming / Meaningful Name: Florence is derived from a Latin word meaning 'to blossom', and Delarosa can mean 'of the rose'. She runs a flower shop. The Jacquet Household "The Jacquets left everything they had behind and tried to build a new life in Bluewater Village. Will they go from rags to riches and create a healthy franchise system that goes public? Or will they fail and watch their dreams crumble like a week old croissant?" The Jacquet Household is made up of elder Denise Jacquet and her grown son Gilbert. Together they own the J'Adore Bakery, which Gilbert inherited from his father, Yves, after his death. Everyone Looks Sexier If French: The Jacquets are implied to be French, and Gilbert has the Romance aspiration, meaning he wants to date and Woo-Hoo as many Sims as possible.

Gratuitous French: The family bakery is named 'J'Adore', which is French for 'I adore'.

Love Triangle: Gilbert is crushing on two of his female employees at the bakery, Breanna Custer and Trina Dalton (all townies in Bluewater Village have randomised names, these are just their canon names). However, only Breanna returns Gilbert's feelings.

My Beloved Smother: Denise is implied to be this towards Gilbert.

The Mourning After: Denise is a widow, but a glitch in her memories makes her not remember Yves' death. So, if she happens to interact romantically with another Sim, she will get a memory of cheating on Yves. This gives the impression that Denise is not ready to move on. The Landgraab IV Household "Ruthless. Cunning. Brilliant. Ridiculously wealthy. These are just a few words the locals use to describe the Landgraab family, whose entrepreneurial ambitions cant be stopped by anything but their own mistakes. When you have this much money, you're your own worst enemy." Malcolm Landgraab IV is one of the many Malcolm Landgraabs appearing in the Sims series, but he's the first one to appear in a main series PC game. Conveniently an Orphan: Starts the game on his own despite being right at the start of his adult life. Though, in all fairness the family backstory seems to imply his parents died early, and that he was raised by his grandparents, making the situation a bit more probable.

Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: Incredibly wealthy, but described as fairly naive.

Dark-Skinned Blonde: Malcolm is this, despite everyone in his family tree having lighter skin than him.

Millionaire Playboy: One of the photos in his family photo album shows him in a hot tub with a woman who resembles Nina Caliente, which implies that Maxis intends him to be this.

Unfortunate Names: Because of how the game handles names, his last name is Landgraab IV, which is incredibly annoying should the player choose to have him have kids or marry someone. Unless you know your way around hacking the game, prepare to have a long line of Landgraab IV's. The Ramirez Household "Checo and Lisa Ramirez have worked hard to get their furniture store off the ground. Though salesmanship has always come easy to Checo, running a business has its own challenges. Now that their daughter Tessa is in school, they can concentrate fully on making their business the best." A three person household consisting of Checoleín "Checo" and Lisa Ramirez and their young daughter Tessa. The family owns a furniture store called 'Ramirez's Fine Furniture'. Dead Guy Junior: Tessa is possibly named after her paternal grandmother, Theresa Ramirez, who has passed away before the beginning of the game.

Dead Sparks: Checo and Lisa only have a mediocre relationship score.

Good Parents: Both Checo and Lisa are best friends with their daughter Tessa.

Spicy Latina: Seems to be Averted with both Lisa and Tessa. The Tinker Household "Wanda and Stephen hoped their toy shop would be in the family for generations to come, but their daughter seems to have other plans. Can Melody follow her own dreams and still keep her parents happy?" The Tinker household is made up of parents Stephen and Wanda Tinker - who dream of opening a toy shop out of their house - and their teen daughter Melody. Wacky Parent, Serious Child: This trope pretty much describes the Tinker family to a T. Wanda and Stephen are very childish, while their daughter Melody is serious and studious.

Riverblossom Hills

Desiderata Valley

Belladonna Cove

Famous for its statue of Bella Goth, it features several apartment lots alongside the usual residential and commercial lots. The Peterson Family Gold Digger: Jessica

Rags to Riches: Jessica

Really Gets Around: Implied in Jessica's bio, which states that she "always was a little precocious." The Cordial Family Consisting of twin sisters Kimberly and Samantha Cordial, who both aspire to learn the ways of magic. Naïve Newcomer: Their purpose is to introduce players to the magic system added with Apartment Life as both sisters have befriended the local high witches.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: The Cordial sisters to the Pleasant twins. They both are sisters that share the same aspiration (Popularity for the Pleasants, Knowledge for the Cordials), have a Sibling Rivalry and a similar "good girl vs bad girl" vibe going on (Samantha Cordial's friends with the Neighborhood's good witch, while Kimberly's friends with the evil one). Also, not only is "Cordial" a synonym to the word "Pleasant", but the floor plan of their house is very similar to the first floor of the Pleasants', albeit reversed. Consisting of twin sisters Kimberly and Samantha Cordial, who both aspire to learn the ways of magic.

Sim Bin Families

These families are families that have no canonical neighborhood and can be placed by the players into any hood of their choosing. The Gieke Family Consisting solely of Chester Gieke. Born into a family of introverted scientists, he wonders if he can break the mold of his family. Installed with Bluewater Village as part of the Open for Business expansion, but he can be placed in any neighbourhood. Meaningful Name: Chester's surname, Gieke, sounds like "geek" and Chester is shown to be interested in robotics and computers. He is also a Knowledge Sim. Consisting solely of Chester Gieke.

The Crittur Family Two dogs, Sarah and Danny, who came together to face the problems of being strays and are now happy to have a home of their own. But Thou Must!: A minor example; there is no way, without cheats, to play them unless they are merged with another household.

Game-Breaking Bug: Sarah's pregnancy, due to an error in the Sim Bin, is corrupted and allowing her to give birth sometimes causes corruption of the neighborhood or crashing of the game. Fixed in a later patch, but like Samantha Ottomas's pregnancy, it will not help if they have already been placed into a neighborhood.

Surprise Pregnancy: Since pets show no visible sign of pregnancy, Sarah's pregnancy will be unknown to the player until she gives birth. Two dogs, Sarah and Danny, who came together to face the problems of being strays and are now happy to have a home of their own. The Roseland Family A man, Cyd, and his pet dog, Porthos.

Installed with Riverblossom Hills as part of the Seasons expansion, but they can be placed in any neighbourhood. Game-Breaking Bug: An infamous one. Like Sarah Crittur, Samantha's pregnancy is bugged, and if her twins are born, it is possible Peter will not be their father. Instead, they will receive a random Sim as the father, which could be anything from another woman, to a child to a pet or even a Sim who is in another neighborhood entirely. This causes a corruption so deep the entire neighborhood will have to be reset. Though a later patch addresses this, it will not help if the family has already been put into a neighborhood.

Granny Classic: Dora Ottomas, who is said to enjoy caring for others and is a comfort to Samantha in rearing her children.

Massive Numbered Siblings: Peter and Samantha have three children but are expecting two more, and Dora's lifetime wish would require them to have a sixth.

Installed with Desiderata Valley as part of the Free Time expansion pack, but he can be placed in any neighbourhood. The Goodie Family An elderly couple, Faith and Herbert, who are traveling following their retirement. Installed with Belladonna Cove as part of the Apartment Life expansion pack, but they can be placed in any neighbourhood. Suspiciously Similar Substitute: For Herb and Coral Oldie from the base game. Herb and Herbert even share their first name, while their surnames combine to form the phrase "an oldie but a goodie". An elderly couple, Faith and Herbert, who are traveling following their retirement. Installed with Belladonna Cove as part of the Apartment Life expansion pack, but they can be placed in any neighbourhood.

Forgotten Hollow

Count Vladislaus Straud IV Count Vladislaus Straud IV is the latest descendant to occupy Straud Manor. His oddly similar looking line of ancestors has resided here since the founding of Forgotten Hollow. Aristocrats Are Evil: He has the "Evil" trait and is supposedly a count. Expy: Of Dracula. His main form resembles Christopher Lee's take on the character, while his dark form and main outfit are a Shout-Out to Nosferatu.

Frozen Fashion Sense: While most other vampires in the game are seen in contemporary wear, his default outfit is a simple black peacoat. Obviously Evil: Even if you didn't know he was a vampire, he's an incredibly sinister looking man, living alone in a dimly lit, decrepit castle, with his only hobby being to play a pipe organ.

Younger Than They Look and Older Than They Look: A bizarre zig-zagging. Vlad is considered to be a Young Adult by the game, but his white hair and facial features make him look a lot older than his code would suggest. On the other hand, he's several hundred years old, far beyond any of the human Young Adults. Count Vladislaus Straud IV is the latest descendant to occupy Straud Manor. His oddly similar looking line of ancestors has resided here since the founding of Forgotten Hollow.

Action Girl: Lilith, who has the "Active" trait and is more visibly muscular than other female Sims.

Expy: Caleb is most likely one of Edward Cullen. His "Foodie" and "Materialistic" traits, along with his fashion sense, also bring to mind Lestat or Viago.

Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: Both siblings (especially Caleb, who has the "Good Vampire" ambition by default).

Romantic Vampire Boy: Caleb doesn't have the "Romantic" trait but is clearly modeled after this archetype.

Vegetarian Vampire: They both prefer to drink from plasma packs/fruits rather than Sims, this is the cause of their feud with Vlad. The Vatore siblings moved into Forgotten Hollow a few years ago and are striving to make it their home. This can be quite challenging at times since they are not exactly on the best terms with Vladislaus Straud, but when asked they only ever mention a difference in their culinary tastes.

Brindleton Bay

The Delgato Family While Supriya loves her full-time job as a stay-at-home mom, it's been getting harder and harder to suppress her dreams of being a full-fledged veterinarian. Especially now that the owner of the Brindleton Pawspital is looking to sell the business. Her husband Justin has always been supportive, and keeps offering to take a break from work so she can follow her dream. But can Supriya really trust him to keep the peace at home between Blue and Bartholomew? Not to mention Pierce and Evie too! House Husband: Justin is both Family-Oriented and Neat which would make him a rather good keeper (and he's willing to take over should Supriya choose to become a veterinarian) but Supriya doesn't believe he's capable of taking care of the kids and pets.

Meaningful Name: "Gato" is Spanish for "cat."

Preppy Name: The family cat is named Bartholomew A.

But will they ever agree on who gets to take their beloved Rosie with them?Husbands Brent and Brant and their dog, Rosie. Notably the first married gay couple in The Sims 4. The Bear: While the Sims 4 lacks any sort of body hair outside mods, Brant is often considered this due to his larger build and thick beard.

Happily Married: First gay couple to be such. Their bio indicates they're newlyweds and their only arguing point is over who their dog spends more time with.

Shout-Out: Both their names are this to the "They're Good Dogs Brent" meme from the Twitter account We Rate Dogs note A user named @Brant complained that the account should be called Cute dogs as their rating system is always 11 or 12 out of ten and made no sense. We Rate Dogs replied twice, getting the vowel in their name wrong each time, first calling them Bront, and ending with "They're good dogs Brent" The account is also known for using "Heckin'" as a euphemism like "A Heckin' good dog". . The Lot they live on is even called "A Good House". Life in their new home seems to agree with newlyweds Brent and Brant. The small-town bustle inspires Brent's painting, and Brant loves to explore the Bay's beautiful neighborhoods.

Catarina Lynx Cats in the neighborhood know where to go for a good meal. Catarina's always had a soft spot for animals, and the cats she lives with have the best home a cat could ask for. Sometimes Catarina asks herself if there's something more to life than cats... usually right before she adopts another stray. Kindhearted Cat Lover: Catarina owns four cats and can't seem to stop herself from wanting to take home a new stray when she sees one.

Non-Indicative Name: Bartholomew A. Bittlebun, Jr. is not related to the Delgato family cat, Bartholomew A. Bittlebun, Sr. Cats in the neighborhood know where to go for a good meal.

Sometimes Catarina asks herself if there's something more to life than cats... usually right before she adopts another stray.

Sulani

The Ngata Family Coming to Sulani for inspiration, Leila didn't expect to fall in love so deeply with the islands. And it wasn't just the scenery that she fell for, but also for Oliana and her son Tane that welcomed her so easily into their family. The three are now an insparable [sic] trio that call Sulani their home enjoying the sand and ocean at their own pace.

And it wasn't just the scenery that she fell for, but also for Oliana and her son Tane that welcomed her so easily into their family. The three are now an insparable [sic] trio that call Sulani their home enjoying the sand and ocean at their own pace. All Lesbians Want Kids: Zigzagged: Tane is Oliana's son and Leila's step-son and they are very much raising him together, but Oliana had him long before she fell in love with Leila, and may have been in a relationship with a man at the time. note The Sims 4 does't allow for surrogate pregnancy with a same-sex couple using a non-romantically-involved donor/surrogate of the opposite sex. The game does allow same-sex couples to have biological children, but only if Gender Customisation is used to make one capable of becoming pregnant while the other can get others pregnant. Therefore, one alternate possibility is that Oliana's ex and Tane's other bio parent is a trans woman.

Ambiguously Bi: Oliana Ngata is married to a woman, but her son bears a strong physical resemblance to her, suggesting that he might be her biological child from a previous relationship with a man.

Butch Lesbian: Oliana Ngata is very muscular and dresses less femininely than her wife. However, in a slight subversion of this trope and unlike Leila (who is, by all indications, gay), Oliana may actually be bi.

Closet Key: It's lightly hinted that Oliana and Leila might have been this for each other.

Happily Adopted: Tane has a good relationship with his step-mother, Leila.

Happily Married: Oliana and Leila have a very good starting relationship, and the family bio describes them falling in love and quickly becoming inseparable in very fond terms.

Lipstick Lesbian: Leila Illes is very feminine, and her only known love interest is a woman. The Hoapili Family Sitting high above the center of Ohan'ali Town, Keala watches over the townsfolk who look to her for guidance. This spirited, young-at-heart grandmother has taken young Lia under her wing to pass on the knowledge and cultural history of Sulani through the generations. Sitting high above the center of Ohan'ali Town, Keala watches over the townsfolk who look to her for guidance. This spirited, young-at-heart grandmother has taken young Lia under her wing to pass on the knowledge and cultural history of Sulani through the generations. Ambiguous Gender Identity: Lia is one of the first gender non-conforming, playable characters in the game: she has a feminine voice and fashion preference and the game recognises her as female, but she has a masculine frame, leading many to believe she's a trans woman. However, Lia is also able to get pregnant, suggesting that she might in fact be Intersex.

Ambiguously Related: It's wholly unclear whether Keala and Lia are legally/biologically grandmother and granddaughter, or whether their relationship is a surrogate one. They don't share a line on their respective family trees and have different surnames; but The Sims 4 doesn't allow characters to have a direct relationship if you skip a generation in the middle during character creation, and of course in real life it's very common for grandparents and grandchildren to have different surnames.

Cool Old Lady: Keala Hoapili is described as a "spirited, young-at-heart" elderly lady who takes a grandmotherly interest in all the younger residents of Sulani. Fanon often suggests that she's taken the gender non-conforming Lia in as a surrogate granddaughter despite the lack of a confirmed relationship between the two, cementing her status as this for many players.
