What fictional group or family have you recreated that was really fun to play?

Recreating people and places is a great part of the Sims, of course, but sometimes creating the Sims is more interesting than actually playing them. What fictional family or group have you recreated in a household (I'm still using Sims 3 at this point, though I know the way households and neighborhood interact varies between versions) that turned out be really interesting to play?

Had a second kid recently IRL, which has really cut into my fun / Sims time, but my older one has been watching a show on Netflix called Kazoops that has a weird family that might be fun to import into the Sims. Got me thinking about what other ideas might be fun for when I get back in the saddle.

I currently have a house with all of the Overwatch heroes (minus Torbjorn because I couldn't make him to my satisfaction, plus Tracer's girlfriend and Efi Oladele). 25 Sims total. It's an adventure. The Full House mod actually cried foul on my attempts to do it and forced me to override it.

Turns out, Soldier: 76 is totally shit at basketball. I looked away for five minutes and he sprained his ankle then ran away and hid in Winston's bed out of embarassment...

When I was younger I'd always do the twilight characters. I recently did characters based on a book I'm reading, I love doing that.

I do this too, to help figure out how characters look in my head when I'm reading!

I did Steven Universe characters once. Made sure all the gems were aliens too, and even built the beach house. It was great! What made it even better was when the gems invaded the laboratory in the scientist career while I was playing another family.

This is awesome! Did you put them or the house on the gallery?

It's been awhile since I last played either the family or on the lot... but I'll try checking on them and uploading everything sometime.

This is a great idea and I love to do the same.

With my legacy family I used Game of Thrones characters, simply because there is so frigging many!

I downloaded a Ragnar Lothbrok sim and he was so fun. He got engaged to my sim because he was a hot viking, but then when she went over to his trailer (the shitty one in Oasis Springs), he and his female roommate flirted the entire time right in front of her. My sim started sobbing, then got mad at him, and then woohooed with him in front of the roommate until SHE cried. And then I had my sim break up with him. And then invited him to join a club that was just him and her, where the only action was "eat," made him get super fat, and then when he aged into an elder, invited him to her workout club, where he died on the treadmill. He was such a cad. I loved him by the end because it was such a long revenge plot that started when they were young adults, and she was an elder with 6 kids and a way hotter husband by this point.

I always just randomly download celebrity/character sims from the gallery tbh. I like seeing "Miley Cyrus has married Agent Cooper" and "Leonardo DiCaprio has married Matt Murdock" lmao

Well not quite a fictional group or family but I once downloaded Nathalie Portman and a bunch of other celebrities from the gallery and she was my all time favourite. The heir I played with after were the twin daughters of her and Tom Hardy. One of the twins had a son with Ling from Mulan and the other had a daughter with Naveen from Kiss the Frog (I downloaded a bunch of disney princes). I've decided to play with the twins until they get old and die, since I didn't notice when Nathalie died when I played the daughters :(

Also I once played all the characters from Gilmore Girls because I was really obsessed with with the series.

Oh sorry, I misread the title.. I'm really bad in creating real life people myself so I download them from the gallery if I have someone special in mind.

I'm surprised I never thought of doing this, especially since I'm STILL obsessed with the series (Gilmore Girls), haha.

I made a bunch of League of Legends sims and it's fun to watch Jinx interact with townies. >:) I'm currently working on some Overwatch sims so that should be an interesting household once I'm done.

I did Sherlock in the sims 3. John was with his girl Mary morstan in a relationship but really in love with Sherlock and he cheated on Mary. Also Mary had a cat who gave birth to a bunch of kittens and she worked at a food stand lol. And Sherlock was a fortune teller.

I created a bunch of Jane Austen characters. I created the Bennet family and made Lizzy and Jane marry Fitzwilliam Darcy and Charles Bingley. I also created Emma Woodhouse and George Knightley and the Weston couple, Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax. Then I played them on rotational play.

Some fun things that happened:

Jane and Charles had 5 daughters. Lizzy and Fitzwilliam also had 4 kids. Mary Bennet married a lady from one of my non-book families Kitty Bennet lives with Mary and her wife in the old Bennet home and has a child from an affair with George Woodhouse (née Knightley) Lydia got the "player" trait and is in a poly-v marriage with twin brothers from one of my non-book families. They have 5 kids (4 from 1 dad and 1 from the other) along with an Alien baby from one of the dads.

George and Emma Woodhouse married and had several children but George also cheated with Kitty Bennet Jane Fairfax dumped frank Churchill after she caught him flirting with his Stepmother, Anne Weston. She married Georgiana Darcy. Their house is the headquarters for my music club.

Due to the large numbers of Bennet offspring a lot of my town is now related. I created a club for unmarried young adults to flirt with each other but it turns out they're almost all cousins.

In Sims 3 I made the Doctor, Rose, Martha and Sarah Jane all duke it out for him :') To my dismay Martha won :'( and Rose got with Jack Harkness who lived next door with Ianto....awkward to say the least. Sarah jane kind of just existed

I made the Griffin Family (from Family Guy). I never really played them but it always made me giggle when I saw them randomly out walking around town. I lost the saves from that particular game so I may need to recreate and play them now that Parenthood is out.

I once made Swan Queen (Once Upon a Time) with Henry. Emma and Regina were the most loyal couple I had in the game and Henry was all over the place with everyone.
