Curious family

The Curious family has been closely associated with weird science ever since they appeared in The Sims 2. The early Curiouses appeared in The Sims 3: Ambitions as a family deeply interested in science.

The Sims 2
The Curiouses in The Sims 2 have a fondness for aliens. Glarn Curious was abducted by Pollination Technician 9 and had twin girls, Lola and Chloe Curious. Pascal Curious is pregnant with an alien child when the family is first played, and Jenny Smith married Pollination Technician 9, her half-sisters' father, and has had two children with him (Johnny and Jill Smith). Vidcund will be abducted and impregnated, if directed by the player to one of the telescopes when the player first starts playing the household.

Their starting funds are §4242. This may be a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, in which 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything.

The family relationships between the brothers and their half-alien relatives are not set. Checking with SimPE shows that the brothers know their full sister, Jenny, but not her husband or children. They also do not know their half-sisters Lola and Chloe.

The Curious family has a box of pizza in their house at the start of the game.

The Sims 3
Marshall Curious is a busy scientist in Twinbrook, but the family struggles to pay the mortgage. Cherish Curious took up teaching to make ends meet, and discovered that she loved the career. Notzo Curious, grandfather of the Curious brothers and Jenny in The Sims 2, is only a toddler in The Sims 3: Ambitions, and is best friends forever with Zo Whelohff. The Curious family live far out of town, in one of Twinbrook's many swamps.

The Curiouses are one of the few families that have five generations, along with Veronaville's Monty and Capp families.
