▲The family consists consists of [[Jack Bunch]], his wife [[Judy Bunch|Judy]] and their four children [[Ethan Bunch|Ethan]], [[Lisa Bunch|Lisa]], [[Arlo Bunch|Arlo]] and [[Darlene Bunch|Darlene]]. Their last name is a reference to the television show "The Brady Bunch". They live on a 40x30 4br, 4ba lot called Peep's Peak on 16 Maywood Lane. "This large, three-story family home includes a guest bedroom on the first floor and an ultra-private bathroom on the top floor. The expansive yard includes a patio perfect for summer grilling."
 
The Bunches seem to have a bit of a disastrousdramatic life what with four children doing many things at once and two working parents. Judy is a scientist, Jack is a formal Military man with an outgoing personality,military Ethanman iswho alikes popularto teenbarbecue aroundand school, LisaJudy is described as a "childishhard badworking girl"scientist who is somewhat charismatic (though she doesn't have thetime trait),for Arlohobbies isor aworking hyperactiveout. kidShe whowas isonce difficult to restrainthin, and Darlenebut justafter wants4 attentionkids and hasmany alreadymonths "brokenof apregnancy fewcravings, bones" toshe provebecame itobese.
 
Ethan, the oldest, is very popular at school and has a great [[relationship]] with all of his siblings, including Lisa. He is very good at school as well. Lisa is the second oldest who seems to be the opposite of her older brother. She is mean, gets into fights and steals things, making her the troubled teenager. She is good friends with [[VJ Alvi]] and may have a crush on him.
 
The third oldest is Arlo, who is extremely hyperactive and athletic and loves to play sports. He is very good friends with most of his family members, except his younger sister Darlene who picks on him. They have a horrible sibling rivalry, but Darlene may only be doing this because she wants attention from her parents. She has broken her bones to get their sympathy and is extremely [[brave]] and is a [[daredevil]].
 
Strangely, Jack and Judy have brown hair, but all their children are light blondes. This is either a developer oversight, or they inherited their hair color from an earlier generation.
 
Interestingly, when you first inherit a house in Maywood Lane, you can see [[Jack Bunch]] driving a [[Car#The Sims 3|Margaret Vaguester]] with his family (considering Jack's career at level 8 of the military career track). Strangely, Jack and Judy have brown hair, but all their children are blond.
