The Schweiger family (
Listen /ˈʃvaɪɡər/) is an infamous family which appears in almost every title of The Sims series. They are known to be the founders of Autumn Falls with family ties going up to medieval times.
They are often considered creepy and spooky by the residents.
Appearances
The Schweiger family first appeared in The Sims with only five alive members, which were Satinav, Ann, Raoul, Deliah and Connar Schweiger. Also many family members can be found in the family graveyard in the garden, but since the game did not feature a family tree function the relation to them where unknown until The Sims 2 was released.
The Sims 2 was the second game the Schweiger family was featured in. The Schweiger family can also be found in The Sims 3 and The Sims 4.
Origins
The Schweiger family has a long history and their origin dates back to the ancient medieval times. Back then they were known by the medieval equivalent of their surname "von Swaiger".
Past
The first Sim bearing that last name was a smith's son. His name was Brennan and he was one of a few villagers, who fled from an unjust king. The king ruled without mercy, abusing his power. Worn-out by his reign of terror Brennan persuaded the Sims around him not to rebel, that would have been an unwise decision, but to leave this kingdom and travel to a far away land to found their own. One of these Sims was Mallory, a librarian's daughter who was in a romantic relationship with a local witch. She loved her dearly, but this wouldn't last for long, because she had an affair with Brennan and when he wanted to leave, she had to make a choice between him or her. In the end she chose him, leaving a devastated witch behind. Later Brennan and Mallory were appointed the leaders of the small village of Autumn Falls. Autumn Falls soon became a town and eventually became a kingdom, which made them king and queen.
Modern Day
In The Sims,The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 there is an art gallery in honor of Frida Schweiger, who is, along with her husband, the oldest Sim still appearing in the family tree of the Schweigers[TS2][TS3][TS4]. Her urn is currently located in a secret room of said art gallery. One says that a ghost of a starved, pale woman appears once in a while at night, where she tries to paint, but no color appears on the canvas.
Onomatology
Schweiger: Jewish-German nickname for a somewhat taciturn or 'deep' person. From the German word 'schweigen' meaning 'to be silent'.
Mallory: 'Unfortunate' or 'ill-fated' in French.
Brannon: An Anglicised Gaelic name meaning 'sorrow' or 'sadness'.
Vanitas: Latin name that means 'emptiness'.
Frieda: Germanic name, orginally a feminine short form of names with 'frid' in it, meaning 'peace'.
Velvela: Feminine form of 'Velvel', meaning 'wolf' in Yiddish.
Samuel: From the Hebrew name 'שְׁמוּאֵל' (Shemu'el) which could mean either "name of God" or "God has heard".
Dorothy: English form of 'Dorothea', meaning 'gift of God'.
Kravitz: Jewish name meaning 'tailor' from Polish 'krawiec'.
Abigail: From the Hebrew name 'אֲבִיגָיִל' ('Avigayil) meaning 'my father is joy'.

Satinav: The name 'Vanitas' spelled backwards. Also the Divine of Time in the role-playing game 'The Dark Eye'.
