Fanon:Crystal Family

Not to be confused with the rebooted Crystal Family

The Crystal family is a family that was introduced in The Sims 2 and returned for The Sims 3. Different members of the family where added to certain expansion packs. Also, a younger version of the family was added for The Sims 2: Apartment Life set 31 years before their timeline.

The current known members of the Crystal family are Ruby Crystal, Carlton Crystal, Diamond Crystal, Vincent Crystal, Tanya Crystal, Sonya Crystal, Darren Crystal, Jenna Crystal, Amanda Crystal, Thomas Crystal, Rachel Crystal, Scott Crystal, Adam Crystal, and Elizabeth Crystal.

Ruby and Carlton Crystal founded Crystal-Reed Valley (formerly Crystal Valley) and thus spent most of their life there along with most later generations of the family. The family are the richest and oldest family in town as they are the key founders. In The Sims 2 a small section of the Valley is bought by the Reed family. The Reed family eventually become co-founders of the town after Jenna gets married to Thomas Crystal (née Reed) leading to the change in the towns name.

The Sims 2: Apartment Life
A younger version of the family was introduced in this game. Set 31 years before the events of The Sims 2 it focused on the Adult versions of Diamond and Vincent and their two children Tanya and Sonya who are both at the Child life stage. They all live at 130 Crystal Road that has a different appearance and only contains two floors. They live in Crystal Valley which is owned by Diamond & Vincent. Crystal Valley appears very differently at this point in time, it is a lot smaller and contains only one inhabitable island. All the streets have the same name with some streets not appearing at all. There is a train track that runs through the hills. The Reed family do not appear as they only moved to Crystal Valley a short time before the events of The Sims 2.

Family Tree
This is the unfinished version of the family tree.

Trivia

 * In The Sims 3: Seasons when Jenna returns she is younger than Amanda despite being her older sister. This can be explained however as Jenna was abducted by aliens in between the 54 year gap between The Sims 2 and The Sims 3.
