Edward Jones (The Sims)

Edward Jones is part of the Maxis-made Jones Family, which could be downloaded from the official website for The Sims, and is still available from this page at SimEchoes. He starts as a Mailroom Clerk in the Business track. Edward would like to put meaning back into the phrase "keeping up with the Joneses". Currently no one in SimCity envies this family.

While Jones is a very common surname, it is possible that he could be the child of the Jones Family from The Sims 3, as he bears a strong physical resemblance to Aiden and would be roughly the right age if they were to have a child towards the beginning of play. Alternatively, he could be a younger sibling or cousin of Aiden. However, this is merely speculation, and remains unconfirmed by the game's developers.

He shares his name with another Edward Jones, a character from The Sims 3 DLC town Roaring Heights. It is possible, though unlikely, that they are intended to be the same person. While Edward could easily be a child if re-created in The Sims 3, Roaring Heights does not necessarily take place in the same 25 year prequel time-frame as Sunset Valley, since the presence of the Capp family seems to imply it takes place a little later, around the same time as The Sims. Also, he has red hair while the Edward Jones from Roaring Heights is blond.
