Burb family
|
Do the Burbs really love the suburbs?
In The Sims: Unleashed, the Burbs are a family living in 63 Gunther Goth Highway of Old Town, living a 1950s lifestyle. The family members are Brad, Tiffany, their son Johnny, and Tucker, the family dog. In 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, and their child Lucy. Jennifer is the sister of Daniel Pleasant, and they are both the children of Diane and Jeff Pleasant from the original Sims game.
The Burbs have 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. Perhaps after he got married he moved to the city, and decided to return to their hometown.
According to the family members, it may suggest a Southern Louisiana-like ancestry, while Tiffany's side of the family is English and/Russian.
