The '''Bunch family''' consistsis a pre-made family in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' who resides in [[Sunset Valley]]. The family 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 perceived to be a reference to the television show "The Brady Bunch". They live on a 40x30 4br, 4ba lothouse called "Peep's Peak on 16 Maywood Lane. "This large, three-story family home includes a guest bedroom onat the firstaddress floor16 andMaywood an ultra-private bathroom on the top floorLane. The expansive yard includes a patio perfect for summer grilling."
 
The Bunches seem to have a bit of a dramatic life. Jack is an outgoing military man who likes to barbecue and Judy is a hard working scientist who doesn't have time for hobbies or working out. She was once thin, but after 4 kids and many months of pregnancy cravings, she became obese.
The '''Bunch family''' is a pre-made family in ''[[The Sims 3]]''.
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."
 
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 Bunches seem to have a bit of a disastrous 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, Ethan is a popular teen around school, Lisa is described as a "childish bad girl" who is somewhat charismatic (though she doesn't have the trait), Arlo is a hyperactive kid who is difficult to restrain, and Darlene just wants attention and has already "broken a few bones" to prove it.
 
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]].
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.
 
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.
If left alone in story progression the Jack and Judy will usually have another child. This will help fulfill Judy's lifetime wish to raise five kids.
