List of minor Sims

This is a list of Sims who are only mentioned in The Sims series or are otherwise not eligible for their own article or infobox.

Sorted by surname.

A

 * Alto, Ebenezer - Ebenezer Alto is the founder of Bridgeport, as noted in the neighborhood bio. He shares the same surname with Alto family, who apparently has a connection, although it's never explained in any way.

B

 * Barnes, Janet - Janet Barnes is an up-and-coming young Simlish actress mentioned in newspaper articles in The Sims 3, which report that she has recently won a national youth acting award for her performance in Romeo and Juliet. The article seems to imply that she may be a student at the local high school; however, she never appears in-game and is purely a lore character.

C

 * Crumplebottom, Robert - Robert Crumplebottom was a renowned philanthropist and puppeteer, as mentioned in Crumplebottom Memorial Park lot description in The Sims: Hot Date. It was mentioned in the description for the Crumplebottom Chandelier, a hanging light from The Sims: Vacation, that he died when the lamp dropped a full two stories upon him. The Prima official game guide stated that Robert was the late husband of Miss Crumplebottom (referred to erroneously as Mrs. Crumplebottom in the guide). However, The Sims 3 confirms that Miss Crumplebottom's late husband was named Erik Darling, creating a small plot inconsistency. It may be that canonically Robert Crumplebottom was in fact the husband of Mrs. Crumplebottom, a different character often confused with Miss Crumplebottom, who appeared in The Sims 2 Nightlife.

D

 * Driveway, Thomas - Thomas Driveway is mentioned in the description of driveways in The Sims 2: Nightlife. He was a grapefruit farmer who, in Sim lore, became the creator of the driveway when he paved part of his yard so he could safely use it for ripening fruit. Later Sims abandoned this practice, and discovered that Mr. Driveway's paved patches were ideal for parking cars.

G

 * Goth, Morgana - Morgana Goth is a Sim mentioned in the description of a stage prop in The Sims 3: Showtime. The prop is a gothic doll, rumored to be modeled after the Sim. It's said that Morgana's ethereal beauty drove men to the brink of insanity. Whether she has any relations with the Goth family is unknown.
 * Gulf, Craig - Craig Gulf is a Simlish film director mentioned in newspaper articles in The Sims 3. Based on the meaning of his surname and the contents of his movies (in an interview he mentions liking lots of car chases and explosions) he seems to be a parody of real-world film director Michael Bay. The interview mentions Gulf's interest in filming his latest picture in town; however, since he is a lore Sim, this never comes to pass in-game.

H

 * Harlow, Jane - Jane Harlow (née Foss) is a Sim mentioned in The Sims: Life Stories. She is the mother of Riley Harlow and the sister of Sharon Foss.

L

 * Landgraab, Gregory - Gregory Landgraab is mentioned in a chance card of Adventurer career in The Sims 2: Seasons. He is a school teacher who seems to have mysteriously received a hefty sum of money. The player will decide to investigate it by asking Spencer Oswald, the Landgraab family accountant, or ask a gypsy. He shares the same name as Gregory Landgraab of Oasis Landing in The Sims 3: Into the Future.
 * Landgraab, Magnus - Magnus Landgraab is mentioned in a random work event at the top level of Criminal career (Thief branch) and Law Enforcement career. The event message implies that Magnus appears to be a diabolical criminal of SimNation.
 * Landgraab, Veronica - Veronica Landgraab is mentioned in Stephen's Story in The Sims Pet Stories. She appears to be a well-known fitness instructor, perhaps even one seen on the workout channel on TV. Stephen refers to the video as "an oldie but a goodie", suggesting that Veronica Landgraab may have been a member of an earlier generation. It is likely that she is a member of the Landgraab family dynasty, but exactly how she is related is not confirmed.


 * Lee, Laurie - Laurie Lee is the late wife of Johnstone Gilman, and mother of Vincent Gilman and Brooke Branson in The Sims 3: Pets (console). She is only mentioned in Brooke's biography.
 * Livorno, Stella - Stella Livorno, as mentioned in a painting from The Sims 2: Glamour Life Stuff, is said to be the secret love of Malcolm Landgraab I.

M

 * Moorington, Ms. - Ms. Moorington is the winner of the "Teacher of the Year" three years in a row. It seems that she bribed her students with candy and let them go wild in the classroom. The Sim who gets this chance card can either stop it or make it worse. When Ms. Moorington was busted by the teachers, they quickly took away her title as the "Teacher of the Year".

N

 * Newson, Gloria - Gloria Newson is the woman who adopted Gavin, Ginger, Georgia, Gallagher, Garrett, and Gabriella Newson from The Sims 2: Apartment Life in the Family Bin. She is only mentioned in Ginger's bio.
 * Necteaux, Jean - Jean Necteaux is the creator of Nectar. This is discovered when participating in the Chateau de Landgraab adventure, which involves Landgraab's Nectar papers, located in his library, sought by Elliot Saint James. The quote from adventure completion notice "I can prove without a doubt that Jean Necteaux created Nectar centuries ago."

O

 * Oswald, Spencer - Spencer Oswald is the Landgraab family accountant, mentioned in the Adventurer career chance card in The Sims 2: Seasons. His name could be a spoof of Ozwell E. Spencer, the wealthy businessman from the Resident Evil franchise.

P

 * Pollard, Dennis - Dennis Pollard is a mentioned Sim in The Sims: Life Stories and the father of Ashley Sinclair

Q

 * Quizine, Zebest - Zebest Quizine is the rival of Julien Cooke from The Sims 2: FreeTime Family Bin. He is mentioned that he stole Julien's recipe to win the cooking contest. His name is a pun of "The best cuisine".

S

 * Shin, Han - Han Shin was a Chinese artist whose painting "Eternal Life," can be purchased in The Sims 3: World Adventures. Han died an untimely death weeks after completing this painting which was extremely ironic, considering this painting was meant to symbolise eternal life.
 * Simlius, John - John Simlius is the president of Sims University. His signature appears on the result paper when Sims take an aptitude test or complete a semester. His signature is written in Roman alphabet, as opposed to Simlish alphabet.


 * Spencer, Lydia - Lydia Spencer is the mother of Alice Spencer-Kim and the ex-wife of Dennis Kim. She is only mentioned in the Spencer-Kim-Lewis family bio, and does not actually appear in The Sims 4 with the rest of her family.
 * Sprocket, Jimmy - Jimmy Sprocket is a fictional Sim in a very popular series of books in The Sims 3 and expansions. He is very likely a parody of Harry Potter; indeed in Russian versions of the game his name is in fact a hypocristic of "Harry Potter" rather than "Jimmy Sprocket". He seems to be a public domain character in-universe, since books about his adventures are written by a number of different authors. To date, the following Jimmy Sprocket titles have been released:
 * Jimmy Sprocket and the Squishy Stone (§50/bookstore)
 * Jimmy Sprocket and the Chalice of Lichens (§125/bookstore)
 * Jimmy Sprocket the Escape from Funland (§210/bookstore)
 * Jimmy Sprocket and the Mummy's Curse (§2,002/Al Simhara Market, Al Simhara, Egypt)
 * Jimmy Sprocket and the Chalice of Nectar (§1,376/Circle of Knowledge Bookstore, Champs Les Sims, France)
 * Jimmy Sprocket and the Cave of the Dragon (§486/Shang Simla Market, Shang Simla, China)
