Tiani family

"The widow Tuula lost her husband Gatimu when he tried to save a jaguar drowning in the ocean. Rather than withdraw after her husband's death, she stayed the open and warm person she always had been. Left to raise two children on her own, she loves to entertain visitors, but wonders if Linje Talani will ever come calling." The Tiani family is a native family present in the freeplay Wanmami Island neighborhood that ships with The Sims Castaway Stories. This family of three consists of an upbeat single mother looking for love, a somber, studious teenager and an energetic toddler determined to follow in her big brother's footsteps. They live in what the natives have come to call the Big House.
