Do the Burbs really love the suburbs?

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, 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 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 his father died, he and his mother (Along with Jennifer and Lucy) moved to the city, and decided to return to their hometown after Tifffany's death. After playing with them for a while, you'll notice John acts more like the mother (Wanting to stay at home, help Lucy with homework, learn to cook) and Jennifer will act more like the father (Wanting to get a job, get promoted, and make more friends).

The family may be English or Russian.
