The family bin in ''[[The Sims]]'' accessed by clicking the "Create A Family" button in the button bar at the top of the neighborhood view.
The bin is rather basic, and is simply a list of families. For each family, it shows the family's name, a headshot of each member, the amount of funds the family has, and the number of family friends. The player can select a family and either delete it or move it into a lot.
Individual Sims are unable to move to the family bin from an existing household; in order to move Sims from the game into the family bin, the entire family must be evicted.
This screen also contains the button used to access [[Create a Sim]].
Sims in the family bin cannot be called. Since they

''[[The Sims 2]]'' adds the ability for individual family members to move out by using the "Find Own Place" option in a [[Newspaper#The Sims 2|newspaper]] or [[Computer#The Sims 2|computer]]. Telling a Sim to do this places them in the family bin, and the last name of the Sim who used the paper or computer to find their own place will be used as the household name. If ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' is installed,
With ''University'', college sub-neighborhoods have a student bin, which serves the same purpose as the family bin. Households created in [[Create a Sim#Create-A-Student|Create-A-Student]] are placed there, as are households created by sending teen Sims to college, and students who are moving from one college residence to another. If Create-A-Student or the '''Send Teens to College''' tool is used, the player will be able to name the household.
Until ''University'', Sims or Sim families in the family bin could not be combined with other households. This feature allows [[teen]]s who are going to college to join an existing (non-Greek) household, and allows graduates to do things such as re-join their families or form households with friends from college.
The family bin, unlike the [[lots and houses bin]], is neighborhood specific, so families can't be moved from one neighborhood to another. [[Sub-neighborhood]]s are the exception, though. A sub-hood (with the exception of a university) attached to a neighborhood shares its family bin. So, for example, if there is a [[Downtown (The Sims 2

Players can delete households that are in the family bin, but doing so is not recommended. Deleting a household from the family bin doesn't actually remove all the data from the character files of the Sims in the household. It can leave behind orphaned memories, invisible gossip memories, or files that are related to the "permanently missing" Sims. This can eventually cause the neighborhood to become corrupt. The correct way to delete a Sim can be found [[Game guide:How to delete a Sim correctly|here]].

The family bin in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' works more or less in the same way as in ''The Sims 2'', but now also shows the difficulty of each household. Unlike previous games, the family bin is identical in all neighborhoods with the same families, meaning that moving a household to the family bin will make their members lose all relationships with the original neighborhood's

==The Sims 4==
In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', the Family bin is replaced with the [[The Sims 4 Gallery|Gallery]], but both features serve the same basic function for households and families that have yet to be moved in. The Gallery is identical in all worlds and games, and the households placed within it can be placed in multiple games and in any worlds. There are five pre-made [[Maxis]]/[[EA]] households in the Gallery:
*[[Andre DaSilva|DaSilva]]
*[[Steve Fogel|Fogel]]
*[[June Kay|Kay]]
*[[Babs L'Amour|L'Amour]]
*[[Purdue family|Purdue]]
More official downloadable families made by the SimGurus can be found elsewhere in the Gallery when it is accessed online.
