The Michaelson Household

Household Description

Celeste and Christopher met working at the same startup. They couldn’t believe how much they had in common when they first went out for coffee together! After they got married, they adopted Atlas and promptly began spoiling him rotten. Now they’ve also adopted Orion and are hard at work raising two kids to be just as nerdy as they are.

Sims 4 Growing Together Premades: Household Notes:
  • Atlas and Orion are both adopted, as stated in their family bio
  • Both Celeste and Christopher have friends outside the household. This is a rarity for The Sims 4. We didn’t see Sims with connections outside their household until Snowy Escape.
  • Christopher seems very close with Xochitl (pronounced SO-CHEEL). He is Good Friends with her with amazing compatibility. This might be an invitation for the player to use this to cause tension in the household.
  • Celeste appears to be the stricter parent due to her having a strict dynamic with her son, while her husband has a permissive dynamic with him. Another potential opportunity to create tension.
  • The Michaelsons’ backyard has an unfinished treehouse so the player can jump right into building a treehouse when they enter this lot.
  • If Get Famous is installed, Celeste starts out with a Pristine Reputation
  • If Parenthood is installed, Atlas starts out with low Conflict Resolution

The Luna-Sullivan Household

Household Description

The Luna-Sullivan family’s a little unusual; Karmine’s dad died in a tragic cooking accident, and her mom needed help…so Gramma Eleanor moved in to be the Gramma-in-charge-ish. Except Gramma’s just as silly as Karmine is!

Sims 4 Growing Together Premades Household Notes
  • The household description states that Xochitl recently became a widow but it appears she is ready to move on and find love again, since her aspiration is Soulmate.
  • Curiously, Xochitl has a milestone for getting married, but not falling in love. This could indicate that she didn’t love her late husband. It would also explain why she’s looking for romance again so soon after his passing.
  • Xiochitl’s dislike of cooking may stem from the kitchen fire that killed her late husband.
  • It can be inferred that Eleanor is the mother of Xochitl’s late husband, since she is Karmine’s grandmother but not Xochitl’s mother. This would make Eleanor Xochitl’s mother-in-law or former mother-in-law, depending on how one chooses to see it.
  • Xochitl is a feminine name of Mexican origin and is pronounced SO-CHEEL.
  • There is a lot of cross-pack integration with this household, which is not common to see in The Sims 4.
  • Although Karmine has the Creatively Gifted reward trait, she has no skills, so she could not have completed the Artistic Prodigy childhood aspiration in order to get this trait.
  • (*) Karmine’s traits appear to be bugged. Numerous players report that Karmine’s traits are different every time you start a new save file. In our save, she was Evil but other players report her having the Kleptomaniac trait and Self-Assured trait in their games. Some players even report that her traits appear as glitched invisible icons.

The Robles-Ruano Household

Household Description

The Robles-Ruano Family is a bit on the unconventional side, but being conventional is soooo boring, right? These folks are all about expressing themselves and their personality no matter what. Both parents are hoping that their unique ways will rub off on their slightly clingy daughter, Tala. With a little love, Tala is sure to grow into a confident (and creative!) kid.

Sims 4 Growing Together Premades Household Notes
  • If Get Famous is installed, Doli starts out with a Pristine reputation
  • Jay’s sister and father live on the other side of San Sequoia and are also premade Sims that ship with this pack. Jay also has a brother-in-law and nephew outside the household. This is the first time a premade Sim has been given extended relatives outside of their own household in The Sims 4.
  • For whatever reason, Jay and their sister, Bernice, have a negative romance bar with each other. Since it is not possible for siblings to be romantic with each other without the use of mods in The Sims 4, we’re not sure if this was a mistake on the devs’ part or if they were intending to allude to something not so T-for-Teen there…
  • Jay has high Gourmet Cooking skill but no Cooking skill. This is interesting because ordinarily, Sims must reach level 5 in the Cooking skill in order to unlock the Gourmet Cooking skill.
  • Although Jay seems to be very passionate about food and cooking and has the Master Chef aspiration, they are in the Freelancer career. Perhaps Jay longs for a career change?
  • The lot this family lives on has some interesting features. Most notably, a fenced off play corner in the upstairs hallway and what appears to be an unfinished storage room with an easel and Tala’s old baby bassinet.

The Robles Household

Household Description

The Robles family is pretty entrenched in this community—they’ve been here ever since the fishing trade started taking off, and for years had a thriving family business. Ignacio’s the patriarch of this family, but just because they have deep roots doesn’t make them all that conventional. They know everyone and anyone, and love being a part of everything this community has to offer—from spending way too much of their free time down by the waterfront to organizing big family gatherings at Gilbert Gardens park.

Sims 4 Growing Together Premades Household Notes:
  • Players may be confused to see a baby nursery in the home despite there being no baby in the house and no mention of a baby anywhere in the household description. It makes more sense once you realise that Bernice is pregnant.
  • Bernice is in her first trimester and is carrying a baby boy. The baby’s father is her husband, Ian.
  • Aurelio appears to be somewhat neglected by his parents. He has a difficult relationship with his mother and a permissive relationship with his father. He’s closest to his grandfather and his mother’s sibling, Jay.
  • Bernice has the same surname as her father, which her husband also shares. This indicates that Ian took his wife’s name when they married. He is the second male Sim in the game who is confirmed to have taken his wife’s name. The first was Geoffrey Landgraab.
  • Ian may have taken his wife’s name to embrace the culture he married into, which would also explain why he has Selvadoradean Culture skill even though he does not appear to be of Spanish descent.
  • This household is full of contradictions. Bernice has high Comedy skill but dislikes Funny Sims and Aurelio has high Violin skill but dislikes the Violin, just to name a couple obvious examples.
  • Even though everyone in the household is related to Doli Ruano through marriage, none of them actually know her.

Sims 4 Growing Together Premades Household Notes:
  • Kyle Kyleson is a homeless NPC who is connected to Growing Together’s extended visits system. He will occasionally invite himself over to stay for a while, acting like he’s an old buddy of your Sims from way back when even if your Sims don’t actually know him.
  • Kyle has a lot of humorous things to say if you talk to him about local gossip while he’s staying with your household.
  • Kyle’s name and general appearance/personality is a play on the cultural stereotype of a young, lazy guy who gets through life by mooching off of everyone around him and generally making irresponsible and immature choices. These types of people are often colloquially called Kyle or Chad.
