|caption = In its heyday, Twinbrook was a small industrial town at the mouth of the Simislaus creeks. Years later, the dam was built, bringing dramatic changes to the town. With an influx of professionals, artists and inventors living around the Sim-made lake, Twinbrook is experiencing a rebirth. How will life in this eclectic community turn out?

Twinbrook stresses the new [[career|professions]] and [[skill]]s introduced in ''Ambitions'', such as the [[Stylist]] profession or [[Inventing]] skill.
Twinbrook is situated on a bayou (swamp), with many bridges and may be in the state of [[Simisouri]] (according to DeAndre
According to a GameSpot hands-on, Twinbrook 'is a fictitious bayou town not unlike a backwoods suburb of Louisiana.'<ref name="Spotlight On">[http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/thesims3ambitions/news.html?sid=6260981&om_act=convert&om_clk=newsfeatures&tag=newsfeatures%3Btitle%3B1 Spotlight On - The Sims 3: Ambitions]</ref> Players who attended the UK hands on event reported that Twinbrook is 'a huge new town, which had been flooded, and is now half-swamp half-town. The swampy areas are very dank and misty. The other side of Twinbrook has brand new shops such as the laundromat, the tattoo parlor and stylist shop and much more. I really enjoyed having a look around Twinbrook, and the place looks really great.

Interestingly, all the pre-made deceased Sims in Twinbrook are pale green if resurrected. They also have gray hair, are all barefoot, and most (if not all) like the color grey. In [http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/75/212002.page#2600444 this post] on thesims3.com, SimGuruLily says that this was intentional, but does not say what the intent was. It is very possible that this is a reference to classic comic book supervillain [[wikipedia:Solomon Grundy (comics)|Solomon Grundy]], who was resurrected after being "buried" in a swamp, emerging as a green-skinned, white-haired, bare-footed demi-zombie.
The town appears to have a larger population of rich Sims than Sunset Valley or Riverview has. These families include the [[Whelohff family|Whelohffs]], [[Pidgin family|Pidgins]], [[Knack family|Knacks]], and the [[Baker family (Twinbrook)|Bakers]]. Additionally, several of the houses belonging to the rich are larger than the [[Sunset Valley]] and [[Riverview]] wealthy families; most families in Twinbrook start with §5,000 or §10,000 in cash, while in the other

▲The town appears to have a larger population of rich Sims than Sunset Valley or Riverview has. These families include the [[Whelohff family|Whelohffs]], [[Pidgin family|Pidgins]], [[Knack family|Knacks]], and the [[Baker family (Twinbrook)|Bakers]]. Additionally, several of the houses belonging to the rich are larger than the [[Sunset Valley]] and [[Riverview]] wealthy families; most families in Twinbrook start with §5,000 or §10,000 in cash, while in the other neighborhood almost all families start with around §1000 in cash. Therefore, Twinbrook is, by far, the most wealthy (non-store) neighborhood in the game after [[Bridgeport]].
Twinbrook is technically an island. This fact is hard to discover, but in gameplay, upon visiting map view and pressing tab, you are able to view a wider range of the town. Unusually, if you follow the river near the [[Racket family|Rackets]]' house, there seem to be buildings which look like skyscrapers. Some people think it is a reference to Bridgeport. The only other worlds which have this are [[Champs Les Sims]], [[Bridgeport]] and [[

==Notes==
*The water level at the center of Twinbrook is higher than the ocean level, and it's considered as lake. Players cannot place a lot or houseboat on the lake, nor can Sims use [[boat]] on it with ''[[The Sims 3: Island Paradise|Island Paradise]]''.
*In [[The Sims 3/Patch 55|patch 1.55]], the bookstore in Twinbrook is not accessible. This only happens if the entrance of a rabbit hole is 3 tiles or fewer from the edge of the lot. This can be fixed by editing the lot and moving the bookstore one tile further from the lot edge. This bug has been fixed in the subsequent patch, [[The Sims 3/Patch 57|patch 1.57]].
*If ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons|Seasons]]'' is installed, the lake might freeze over, letting players have their Sims skate on the lake.
==Trivia==
*All deceased Sims from Twinbrook have green skin, grey hair and walk barefoot.
*There's a sculpture named Twisting Fingers in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]''. The description mentions the world's longest fingernails belonging to someone from Twinbrook.
*The lot the
*The descriptions for the [[pet house]]s in ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]'' refer to Twinbrook's architecture. Also, one of them is named The Twinbrook Tandem Pet House.
*There's a stroller in ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]'' called The Twinbrook Roller. The description mentions that it was designed and manufactured in Twinbrook.
*The mausoleum of Twinbrook is called "Jolina Family Mausoleum." It may or may not be named after [[Jamie Jolina]] and/or her family.
*Several Sims from this town have pun names such as Anne T. Septik and Molly Coddle.
*It is possible that Twinbrook is located in a country's border since two roads that connect Twinbrook to other towns are blocked.
*In ''[[The Sims 4: Laundry Day Stuff]]'', there is an object called "[[:File:Zydeco_Rub-Board.png|Zydeco Rub-Board]]" mentioning that Sims from Appaloosa Plains to Twinbrook used to practise Zydeco music, but it lost its popularity.
