Best Fictional Families To Make In The Sims

The Sims is a franchise that has always allowed players to create anyone they can imagine and take them down life's path. While a lot of players will look to their own friends and families for inspiration in the game, the fictional world is also full of characters that fit seamlessly into the world of The Sims.

When making a new family, it can be difficult to find a starting point. That is why it can be more fun to play with the games' creation engine by making some familiar fictional families. These choices also provide gamers with the challenge of creating these families' iconic homesteads or trying to perform certain acts as part of an established storyline for the character.

8 Fantastic Four

It would make sense that players would want to try creating Marvel's first family in The Sims. Three members of The Fantastic Four are easy enough to create without mods, and their scientific prowess could help players explore the genius character perks or the science career in fun ways.

The only challenge with bringing The Fantastic Four into The Sims is trying to create a realistic-looking version of The Thing. However, the Baxter Building is easy enough to replicate, and there are chances for the family to expand with the inclusion of Franklin and Valerie Richards.

7 Dunphys/Pritchetts/Tuckers

The cast of the hugely popular sitcom Modern Family is massive. There are twelve leads in the show, and the good thing is that all of these characters are part of the same family.

This means that The Sims' players can start off their game by making only one section of this family and then expand out into more households from the show. It all depends on what part of the game they want to explore. Also, a good range of ages in this family means there is a lot on offer for new players.

6 The Geller/Greens

One of the unfortunate truths of most American sitcoms is that viewers never get to see what happens to the will they/won't they couple after they get together in the final episode. It is a trope that is as old as time, and the most popular version of this is most definitely Ross and Rachel from Friends.

Fortunately, a game like The Sims makes it so fans no longer have to imagine what happens to these characters. Players can build these couples and pick up their stories just as soon as the show ends. The couple could go on to get married, have children, or move on from each other. The choice is entirely up to the player.

5 The Winchesters

It seems that more and more supernatural content is being added to The Sims 4 as time moves forward. As such, two characters from fiction become more and more at home in the world of The Sims.

Supernatural Provides the Perfect Set-Up for a Video Game

The Supernatural TV series has been over for a couple years now, but it's easy to see how its premise is the perfect set-up for a video game.

The Winchester brothers, Sam and Dean, are the main characters in the long-running CW show Supernatural. They face vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and demons on a weekly basis, and with more of these creatures popping up in The Sims expansions, it may be time for players to see how this family reacts in the PC game.

4 The Addams Family

Very few fictional families have had the staying power of The Addams Family. The ghoulish family first hit TV screens in 1964, and they are constantly being re-imagined and interpreted in media today.

That means almost everyone knows how to create a perfect version of The Addams Family in The Sims. Their unique aesthetic will help the family stick out in the game, and players can use all the creepy tools they want when making their iconic mansion. Uncle Fester, and Lurch may prove difficult to create, but that just adds to the charm.

3 The Griffins

While the Griffin family from Family Guy may not be as iconic or long-serving as other TV families, they are certainly the type of family that fits nicely into a game like The Sims. A father, mother, son, daughter, and baby are all easy enough to create, and the characters' unique personalities could be fun to bring to life in a normal town.

The only challenge for players trying to make the Griffin family is bringing to life Brian the dog. Dogs do not talk in The Sims, nor do they consume alcohol. However, players can always settle for making a regular dog in the pet expansion pack.

2 The Bat Family

Most comic book readers are aware that Batman shed his lone-wolf persona years ago. The result saw Bruce Wayne welcoming a series of costumed vigilantes into the Batcave to help him clean up the streets of Gotham. This group of vigilantes is known as the Bat Family, and there are many characters for players to create in The Sims.

The best part of this family is that very few of the characters are related. This can lead to plenty of interesting character interactions, even if it does mean that none of these characters are able to fight crime at night. The police career is certainly an option for some of these heroes, though.

1 The Simpsons

The Simpsons family has been one of the biggest names in pop culture for the last thirty-five years. Almost everyone recognizes the faces of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. What's more, there have also been generations of Sims players who have tried to bring this family to life in the game.

Although the family's signature yellow skin does make creating the family in The Sims a challenge, there are hundreds of Sims save files out there with a version of The Simpsons running around. Also, the expansive world of Springfield in the show means that players can expand their Simpson creations to take up an entire map.
