The Bachelor Pad household

§331

Leo Edwards

A table for one. For Leo there is no greater love than his love of food. Will he find romance or will his culinary appetites always come first?

The Beau Home household

§3,121

Thad Hare, Rose Adler

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop. Here it ends with a freshly caught fish and a well cooked meal for two.

The Big Hair House household

§1,211

Veronica Ryder, Heather McCray

They are united through their love of 80's brat pack films and mutual disgust of Titus Lyons. They are a perfect pair of bad hair and love lost.

The Do-It Den household

§2,534

Billy Morgan, Toby Bassett

The desire to win best defines these Sims. While life may be too short for chess let's hope Toby is not too short to become a Super Star.

Farr-Bacon House household

§3,534

Ronald Bacon, Yvette Farr

The strong attraction for athleticism brought these two together. A shared braveness helps to combat the hooligans at the local match as well.

Love-Bolton Shack household

§412

Jamar Bolton, Josh Love

Much like oil and water, peanut butter and hair and BB guns and eyeballs these two roommates are like misshapen peas in a pod.

The McDonald House household

§912

Raven MacDonald

As an aspiring Emperor of Evil it is important to find a calm hobby like fishing. No surprise then that she sees it as one for drowning worms.

Muse Household

§810

Octavia Muse

She is a flirty, hot headed coward with a gift for gab. Could she be anything but a politician? Is change called for or has her fate been cast?

The Odd Mod household

§2,231

Shannon Chandler, Kim McNamara

Mc and Cha in the house. Cookin'up, eatin'up, dishen'up the fun and up the field of life. Excitable, eatable as long as it's a vegetable. Yo.

The Poet's Abode household

§209

Priscilla Tanner

She cannot help but see the world as a haiku. How odd one might ask. A poet with hope. To set a table for art. Beauty will flourish.

The Roomie House household

§1,012

Jo Abel, Tia Drake

Accustomed to living alone it was a big change when Tia's best friend moved in. Will Jo be the perfect housemate or Tia's biggest regret?

Salazar-Pitt House household

§2,115

Diana Salazar, Garrick Pitt

For these two, work is a way to discover the world and then give your heart to it. One day they will discover their hearts belong to each other.

Smolder House household

§6,432

Titus Lyons

Burning the bridges of love is the way of this Sim. He is a pyromaniac of girlish crushes and love is the fuel that lights his torturous match.

The Wu Den household

§1,001

George Wu

His earliest role models include a 9,999 piece jigsaw puzzle and a doll named Cane. Both of which he stole. Clearly he is an evil genius.

Returning families[edit | edit source]

Alto family

§75,000

Holly Alto, Don Alto

Rich, rich, rich is their motto. Unscrupulous business practices have gotten them far. Far from happiness and redemption some might say.

Goth family

§50,000

Alex Goth, Cecilia Goth

They have lived in town since the beginning. Is their aura of gloom deserved or more the result of growing up with dad named Mortimer?

Landgraab family

§70,315

Malcolm Landgraab, Bambi Landgraab

Malcolm's family founded the town, so it was no surprise that when Bambi was looking for some gold to dig she looked to him. Is this true love or true greed?
