The '''Grunt family''' is a military family from ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and return in ''[[The Sims 4]]'' available in [[The Sims 4 Gallery]].<ref>https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/F1ECEEF23BB111E980DD7E6A61392AEA</ref> They live in [[Strangetown]], a neighborhood that comes with the base game. [[General Buzz Grunt]] is the father of three sons named [[Tank Grunt|Tank]], [[Ripp Grunt|Ripp]] and [[Buck Grunt]]. Tank Grunt wants to be more like his father, while Ripp Grunt just wants some romance, and little Buck Grunt is just left out. His wife, [[Lyla Grunt]], divorced him and was later electrocuted under mysterious circumstances. She is buried in the [[Specter family]] graveyard.
General Buzz and Tank have a grudge against the [[Curious family]] for being so strange, and the [[Smith family]] due to them being aliens, but Ripp and Buck have positive relationships with [[Johnny Smith|Johnny]] and [[Jill Smith]], respectively.
The family picture to the right can give a pretty good image of the family members' personalities, and why they clash so much: Tank and Buzz are clearly domineering and tough. Ripp just seems lazy, while Buck appears to be more sensitive, thoughtful, and studious. Out of all their deceased relatives, only Lyla and [[Mary Melons]] can be resurrected.
When the family is first played, it is a Sunday morning.

▲|etymology
'''General Buzz Grunt''' : his proper name could be Edwin, after Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin, but that is speculative. (Edwin means rich, blessed friend). The name Buzz also might have something to do with the "buzz cut" haircut that a lot of army recruits get.
'''Lyla Grunt''' (Gen. Buzz's ex-wife) : Persian for "dark princess'", Hebrew for night.
Line 16 ⟶ 39:
'''Tank Grunt''' (Gen. Buzz's oldest son): Probably a reference to his father being in the Army.
'''Ripp Grunt''' (Gen. Buzz's middle son):
'''Buck Grunt''' (Gen. Buzz's youngest son): A young buck; an adventurous, impetuous, dashing, or high-spirited young man.
'''General Chip Grunt''' (Gen. Buzz's father): Means a lot of things, such as French Fries.
'''Missy Grunt''' (Gen. Buzz's mother): A young female; It also
'''Mike Steel''' (Missy's father): Mike is short for Michael, means "who is like god", and steel as in steel, a metal alloy of mostly iron plus carbon, harder than pure iron but malleable when hot.
'''Mary Melons''' (Missy's mother): Mary means "to be bitter", while Melons as in melon, a type of fruit. So her name means, "bitter fruit," possibly a reference to the fact that they probably didn't mean to have Missy as she was born illegitimate, therefore making her a "bitter fruit."
The reason why Mary does not have the same last name as Mike is that Missy was an illegitimate child. She was born outside marriage.
'''General Rock Grunt''' (Chip's father): The name rock could be referencing a sort of harshness as rocks are known to be very hard and solid.
▲|neighbor = Strangetown
▲|connect = [[Specter family]], [[Curious family]]
'''Wanda Grunt''' (Chip's mother): Wanda is a German name that is known to mean family or wander. It is likely she is meant to be the opposite of her husband.

==Trivia==
*The [[military base]] in [[Lunar Lakes]] is named after this family, Grunt Military Base.
*In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', it says the household uses no material from packs, which is false. The family is still playable in the base game, but with certain aspects removed or changed, such as no members having the StrangerVille Mystery aspiration. However, some of the members still have the Home Turf trait and Lyla's death type is still poison in the base game, despite these normally being unavailable without certain packs.
