::Justin sure has a lot to brag about! He has a lofty house to call home; rich, successful and talented parents; six Servo robots; and a little brother! Can he still maintain his friendships with all the poorer kids in the hood?

Justin follows faithfully in his father's footsteps, again with zero neat points and a boatload of outgoing and active points. Justin likes music and dance too, but he's much more into sports, and he likes to shoot hoops on the roof with his brother. On hot days, he also likes to take a plunge into the swimming pool to cool off.<ref group="note">SimVille has all four seasons set for summer, since I wanted to have a more "tropical" climate for the region. Hence, that swimming pool sees quite a bit of use.</ref>

Justin knows just about every other kid in the hood, but he isn't friends with all of them yet. Perhaps one of the biggest obstacles to that is the class division I created in this hood. The second richest family in SimVille don't come anywhere near to matching the Newbies in wealth, and while the Newbies do juggle a lot of friendships and are generally well liked, not everyone is too fond of their lavish lifestyle. An increasing number of families in SimVille have a net worth of less than a thousand Simoleons, and are forced to live in cramped apartments. Justin wants to be friends with those kids, but he sticks out like a sore thumb when he visits them. Sadly, Justin chooses riches over relationships.

*The second-born child is geared towards social connections outside of the family. They're stuck with the hand-me-downs from their older sibling and are okay with not being in first place. Since they don't get as much attention from their parents as they'd like, they supplement the rest with friends outside of family.

*The third-born child is the attention seeker, and is willing to break and bend the rules in order to get what they want, and often they get away with it. They're less responsible than their older siblings and tend to be more charming and likeable.

<ref group="note">It's hard to actually scientifically verify claims or theories of birth order, since there are so many different factors that can and do come into play when determining a child's personality. I completely understand if you don't subscribe to the idea, and I admit that I might be suffering from confirmation bias.</ref>

Evan was created with the second-born in mind. As his bio suggests, he has a wonderful life now, but deep down inside he really doesn't enjoy it. Like his family members, he likes to go out and make friends, but he tends to be a little more personal with his friendships, and spends more time with each of them rather than simply having large numbers of connections like everyone else in his family. He also prioritizes these friendships more than he does his own luxurious life, as opposed to his older brother. I have a good feeling that Evan will want to leave his material possessions behind to work with the poor. With more and more families moving into SimVille that are at or below the poverty line, Evan needs to be willing to get himself dirty. And from what I can see so far, he doesn't mind.

The main reason why I invited [[Bigfoot]] to live in this house is to, well, get pictures and information for the Bigfoot article I just linked.<ref group="note">As of April 17, 2017, the "[[:File:Bigfoot_hugging_a_child.png|Bigfoot hugging child]]" and the "[[:File:Bigfoot_work_outfit.png|Bigfoot work outfit]]" images are of Alec.</ref> But anyhow...
