Bunch family

The Bunch family is a pre-made family in The Sims 3. The family consists consists of Jack Bunch, his wife Judy and their four children Ethan, Lisa, Arlo and Darlene. Their last name is a reference to the television show "The Brady Bunch". They live on a 40x30 4br, 4ba lot called Peep's Peak on 16 Maywood Lane. "This large, three-story family home includes a guest bedroom on the first floor and an ultra-private bathroom on the top floor. The expansive yard includes a patio perfect for summer grilling."

The Bunches seem to have a bit of a disastrous life what with four children doing many things at once and two working parents. Judy is a scientist, Jack is a formal Military man with an outgoing personality, Ethan is a popular teen around school, Lisa is described as a "childish bad girl" who is somewhat charismatic (though she doesn't have the trait), Arlo is a hyperactive kid who is difficult to restrain, and Darlene just wants attention and has already "broken a few bones" to prove it.

Interestingly, when you first inherit a house in Maywood Lane, you can see Jack Bunch driving a Margaret Vaguester with his family (considering Jack's career at level 8 of the military career track). Strangely, Jack and Judy have brown hair, but all their children are blond.

If left alone in story progression the Jack and Judy will usually have another child. This will help fulfill Judy's lifetime wish to raise five kids.
