The '''family bin''' (sometimes called Sim bin or 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. In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', families have unlimited uses, meaning that they will only disappear out of the bin if deleted. |

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 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. |
