The '''Family Bin''' (known as the '''Sim Bin''' in ''The Sims'' and the '''Gallery''' in ''The Sims 4''; sometimes alternately called the '''Library''') is the section of the game interface where a [[Sim]] or a [[household]] is stored until they have a [[residential lot]] to be placed in. It's as if the Sims are "in limbo" when they're not living on a residential lot. After a family is created in [[Create a Sim]] mode they go straight into the family bin, and from there they can be moved into a lot. In ''[[The Sims]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2]]'', families go into the family bin when they are moved out of a residential lot; when they are moved into a lot, they will disappear from the family bin. In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', families moved into a lot do not disappear from the bin, meaning that the same family can be moved into the same world multiple times.

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)|Downtown]] attached to [[Pleasantview]], any of Pleasantview's inhabitants could go to live in Downtown and vice-versa.
Sims in the family bin cannot be called, even if they have cell phones. Since they
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 Sims. Additionally, a copy of the family will be kept in the bin when the player moves them into the game, meaning that it is possible for the player to move different copies of the same family into the same world multiple times. As in the previous games, Sims in the family bin can't be contacted in any way.
