The '''Burb family''' is a pre-made family from [[Old Town]] in ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]'', [[Pleasantview]] in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', as well as [[Dragon Valley]] from ''[[The Sims 3 Store]]''.


In ''The Sims: Unleashed'', the Burbs are a family living at [[63 Gunther Goth Highway]] in [[Old Town]], living a 1950s lifestyle. The family members are [[Brad Burb|Brad]], [[Tiffany Burb|Tiffany]], their son [[John Burb|Johnny]], and [[Tucker Burb|Tucker]], the family dog. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', the Burbs are a family found in the family bin in Pleasantview. At the start of the game, there are three members in the family; Johnny, who is now known as John, [[Jennifer Burb|Jennifer]], and their child [[Lucy Burb|Lucy]]. Jennifer is the sister of [[Daniel Pleasant]], and they are both the children of [[Diane Pleasant|Diane]] and [[Jeff Pleasant]] from the original Sims game.


The Burbs started out new to the town. In ''The Sims: Unleashed'', the Burbs moved to Old Town because Brad is tired of the city, while Tiffany is not. In ''The Sims 2'', John, who had married Jennifer and had one child, Lucy, moved back to Pleasantview. It's possible that, after his father died, he and his mother (along with Jennifer and Lucy) moved to the city, and decided to return to their hometown after Tiffany's death.
In [[The Sims: Unleashed]], the Burbs are a family living in [[Old Town]]. The family members are [[Brad Burb|Brad]], [[Tiffany Burb|Tiffany]], their son [[John Burb|Johnny]], and [[Tucker Burb|Tucker]], the family dog.


John, a Family Sim, will have [[Wants and Fears|wants]] to do things such as stay at home, help Lucy with homework, and learn to cook, while Jennifer, a Fortune Sim, will want to get a job, get promoted, and make more friends. It is recommended to keep their aspiration meters high and make sure Jennifer gets a job and John does not get a job so he can take care of Lucy. That is an easy way to make money for the family, and at the same time not have to pay for a nanny.
In [[The Sims 2|Sims 2]] the Burbs are a family found in the family bin in Pleasantview. There are three members to the family as of the start of the game; Johnny (now known as John), [[Jennifer Burb|Jennifer]], and their child [[Lucy Burb|Lucy]].

: Every Burb family member has a popular name. The names may have been chosen because they are popular.


*'''John Burb''' -- Popular name meaning "Yahweh is Gracious" or "God is Gracious"
==[[Player stories]]==


*'''Jennifer Burb''' -- (Daniel's sister) -- Popular name meaning "fair, white, smooth"
* In my game, John, Jennifer and Lucy moved into the BV Mansion what I found in the lots bin. John and Jennifer are unemployed and Lucy got into private school where she got an A+. John got abducted by aliens and became pregnant. Days later he gave birth to a baby girl which I named Venus. When Venus grew into an teenager, Lucy moved into college with Reece Nixon a character I made and they got engaged. Lucy graduated and Venus started college. 4 days away from becoming an elder, Jennifer became pregnant and had twins, Sara and Rex. Lucy is now married to Reece and Venus is engaged to Alexander Goth. They're in college in their senior year.


*'''Lucy Burb''' -- Popular name meaning "light"
* In my game Jennifer had two more children with John, but she is currenly pregnant with Daniels child as she has been cheating on him. There two sons are called William and Adam. Lucy is nearly an adult.


*'''Brad Burb''' -- (John's father) -- Popular name meaning "broad".
* The Burbs moved into one those condos near where Don Lothario lives. They never had anymore children. Even though John wanted them to, Jennifer never did. They bought a white puppy for Lucy named Suzi. When Lucy became a teen she started dating Alexander Goth. They eventually got married. They have one daughter named Janna who is a child. Lucy is currently pregnant with their second child. John and Jennifer both died of old age. When they died, Suzi went to live with Lucy and Alexander.


*'''Tiffany Burb''' -- (John's mother) -- Popular name meaning "manifestation of god". It may have been chosen due to the stereotype of fashionable and popular girls being named Tiffany.
* John cheated on Jennifer with Brandi, after the Burbs moved into the trailer next to the Brokes'. John eventually moved in with Brandi, and then left his wife for her. John and Brandi are now married, but she is still pregnant with her third child by Skip. Jennifer kept Lucy, who is still a child, and eventually married Kennedy Cox. They then moved out ino one of the larger houses in Pleasantview, while John and Brandi are still living in their trailer in poverty.


*'''Benjamin Burb''' -- (John's paternal grandfather) -- Popular name meaning "son of the south"
* Mines a bit confusing.
John cheated on Jen, with a character of my own called Laura. They got caught, and eventually got divorced.


*'''Susan Burb'''-- (John's paternal grandmother) -- Popular name meaning "lily" or "rose"


*'''Tucker Burb'''-- (The Burbs' pet dog in ''The Sims: Unleashed'') --- Tucker is perhaps related to the German word 'tucher' means 'clothweaver'.
Jen moved out and moved to a condo near Don, leaving a disraught Lucy with her dad.
Lucy grew up and decided to move in with her mum, who was by now dating another character I made, Max.
John and Laura married and had a daughter called Joanna.
Jen and Max had three children, two twin girls - Charlotte and Sophie, and an older boy - Charles.
Then Max died, and Jen found herself getting closer to John again.
Laura caught them, and so John and Laura divorced.
John moved in with Jen, Lucy and the other children.
And... John and Jen got remarried (:
Lucy, the twins and Charles are all at college now, and Joanna accidentally died of starvation :S
Lucy is dating Alexander Goth. Come on, it HAS to happen doesn't it??
Oh, and Laura just had Dons baby :D
