The Bunch family is a pre-made family in The Sims 3. The family consists consists of Jack Bunch, his wife Judy and their four children Ethan, Lisa, Arlo and 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 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.

Interestingly, when you first inherit a house in Maywood Lane, you can see Jack Bunch driving a 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.
