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: Nightlife)|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're are not living on a residential lot that has a phone, they are not considered to have a phone, even if they have a cell phone. However, Sims in the family bin may be brought home from work or school. Also, if ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'' is installed, they may appear in the hiring pool; and if ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' is installed, they may appear on [[hobby lot]]s. Players can delete Sims who are in the family bin, but should not do this other than newly created families from [[Create-A-Sim|Create-a-Sim]](though even deleting newly-created sims can be bad), because it would actually damage the neighborhood and might eventually corrupt it due to the process not completely erasing the sims. Using the delete tool simply shreds the character files, but leaves behind orphaned memories, gossip, and files pretaining to the sims' wants and fears.

Players can delete Sims who are in the family bin, but is not recommended to do so. Deleting the Sims don't actually remove all their data from their character files. It can leave behind orphaned memories, gossips, or files. While it's not a good idea to do because Sims will simply be considered "missing permanently", it might eventually corrupt it if it's bad.
