Fanon:The Plumbs

The Plumbs are a family of artistically-inclined Sims originating in Sunset Valley and appear in The Sims 3. The family home was built on Summer Hill Court in Sunset Valley. The patriarch of the family, Nigel Plumb, was said to have been an immigrant from Riverview by way of Yorkshire, England. The unlikely matriarch of the family was one Jamie Jolina, who passed on her musical traits to several of her descendants, including, most notably, her son, Nathan Jolina-Plumb, a renowned musician and composer. Her grandson, Sebastian Plumb, is an actor and musician. Her granddaughter, Savannah Plumb, is an author and adventurer who is now a part-time professor of history and paranormal studies at Sims University.

The Plumbs, blessed with high intelligence (via Jamie Jolina) and artistic talent, also have a history of self-destructive behavior.

Nathan Jolina-Plumb - the family's reluctant patriarch. A musical prodigy, Nathan's first melodies were composed before he started school, and music has remained his overarching obsession throughout his life. His women have come and gone, but the music has remained. Deeply introverted, Nathan only seems to come to life when discussing a new composition. The women in his life have been entranced by his uncanny ability to capture an emotion through song. Nathan came from less than ideal circumstances, as the son of an elderly vintner who volunteered at the local hospital and a trauma surgeon, the unlikely result of a one-night-stand between the two. His father died just before he turned teenager, leaving the gifted young boy adrift for the better part of his teenage and young adult years. By the time he arrived at the Sunset Valley Orchestra, however, the wheels were being set in motion for him to become a star. Sandra Bellingham Plumb - the family's proud, if a bit haughty, matriarch. Born in Twinbrook of humble origins, Sandra was the daughter of a man who wanted her very much and a woman who didn't want her at all. Just before she turned teen, her father mysteriously vanished, leaving her to be raised by her mother and a stranger. Sandra was classically trained as a pianist and guitarist by her social-climbing mother, who would also die before Sandra became a young adult. Sandra relocated to Sunset Valley upon turning young adult and then joined the orchestra there. Savannah Rachel Bellingham Plumb Cheesman - Nathan and Sandra's proud, rebellious and independent daughter. Savannah is a control freak and makes no secret of that fact. She was serious as a young girl and remains so to this day. Intellectual and brutally ambitious, at her core she is fiercely protective of her family. Calculating and manipulative, Savannah gets what she wants and nobody can stop her. Savannah began rebelling against her mother's showbiz agenda from the cradle, wanting no part of her family's glitzy lifestyle. Instead, she chose to travel the world, collecting artifacts and writing books about her travels, and became the Sim world's premier paranormal studies expert. She shocked Sunset Valley by marrying her high school classmate, Andrew Cheesman. Sebastian Ryan Bellingham Plumb - Sebastian was kind of a 'happy accident,' and indeed, that's pretty much how he's lived his life up to this point. Unlike his more focused older sister, he has drifted through life. He's had no concrete foundation to which he could ground himself. Blessed with good looks, musical ability, smarts, and acting talent, it could well have been that Sebastian is too gifted, unable to focus on one thing. He's been unlucky in love, too, his last relationship ended spectacularly, in the tabloids. Noah Henry Plumb - Son of Nathan Plumb and his ex, Holly Alto. Noah may have had even more musical talent than Nathan did, and that was saying something, considering Nathan composed his first songs before beginning school. Like his father, Noah is deeply introverted and tended to drift through his life. He got on the orchestra as a string quartet member, but lacked the ambition to go further in his career. Nathan readily admits that when Noah was born he was not ready to be a father, and he also admits that Noah has suffered as a result. Andrew Cheesman - His origins are a bit murkier. An adopted child, Andrew was raised in a loving home by a single parent who was a pastry chef. When she died, her sister took him on temporarily, and then he moved on briefly on his own, in a house near the beach. He first encountered his future wife, the haughty heiress Savannah Plumb, at the school they attended. He fell in love with her instantly and then went on a wild pursuit of her hand in marriage. The reasons he married a woman so completely opposite from him remain a mystery. Funny, outdoorsy, and athletic, he provides a nice counterbalance to his serious, intellectual wife. Satis Amin Plumb - The first of the two children Savannah controversially adopted from Egypt. They instantly connected over a love of books and reading. After arriving in Sunset Valley, Satis began to thrive in Savannah's care, eventually becoming editor-in-chief of the school newspaper, becoming prom queen and student body president. Satis defied her adoptive mother by returning to Egypt after graduation. Imsety Amin Plumb - Savannah was in the process of adopting Satis when she learned Satis had a brother, so Imsety was something of an afterthought. He had a much more difficult time adjusting to life in Sunset Valley than his sister did, and, his adoptive parents would learn later, is dyslexic. His troubles led to a protracted sentence at Fort Starch Military Academy with his brother. Andrew Cheesman Jr. (AJ) - Fluent in Arabic due to his Egyptian nanny and Egyptian adopted siblings, he is the oldest of Andrew and Savannah's children and so far, the only boy. He is unquestionably Savannah's favorite child. He resembles her in personality a lot more than he does his father, though he lacks the manipulativeness. After a rebellious adolescence, which resulted in a sentence at Fort Starch Military Academy, he seems to be heading back onto the straight and narrow, studying for a degree in aeronautics. Sageblossom Margaret Plumb Cheesman (Sage) - Daughter of Andrew and Savannah. She has inherited her father's love of the outdoors and an artistic side from her mother's relatives. She has a sweet, gentle nature inherited from her father, but this is also combined with an independent and stubborn streak inherited from her mother. Sage is a vegetarian and environmentalist who loves animals. Sierramyst Jolina Plumb Cheesman - Daughter of Andrew and Savannah. Is athletic like her father and wants to become a professional athlete. Her adolescent rebellion was even more pronounced than her mother's as she has compiled an extensive criminal record, with arrests for breaking and entering, malicious destruction of property, curfew violations, truancy, and assault.
