Summary
The Simsis a franchise that has always allowed players to create anyone they can imagine andtake 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 ofThe 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.

The cast of the hugely popular sitcomModern Familyis massive. There are twelve leads in the show, and the good thing is thatall of these characters are part of the same family.
This means thatThe 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.
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 fromFriends.
Fortunately, a game likeThe Simsmakes it so fans no longer have to imaginewhat 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.

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