The Tinker family is a pre-made family residing in Bluewater Village in The Sims 2: Open for Business. They display a natural disposition towards toy-making. Although they have everything they need to open their own store in their backyard, they have not yet opened it when first played. The family started out when Ron Tinker married Lauren Tinker, and they had a son named Stephen. He married Wanda, the daughter of Damion and Autumn Zarubin. They had a daughter, who they named Melody.
