    open/close all folders 

    Commercial Sims 

Rosalyn P. Marshall

In the original title and Party, she is the mayor of the city your character moves into, whereas in Kingdom she is the High School Principal of the Royal Academy. In Agents, she is a non-Special Agent that works alongside Vic.


  • Agent Scully: In Agents, she fervently denies the existence of a Yeti despite all evidence pointing the other way.
  • Fantastic Racism: Once she discovers a paranormal being does exist, she's utterly convinced the crime is their doing.
  • Nervous Wreck: As the headteacher of the Royal Academy.
  • Workaholic: The way she relaxes is to do paperwork. Her worst nightmare is not being able to finish her work!

Buddy

Originally works as a bellhop in the local hotel. In Kingdom and Agents, he is the main character's partner.


  • Adorkable: Well, why else do you think he's so popular? Cute may not be one of his interests, but Geeky certainly is.
  • Ascended Extra: His role in the first game is fairly minor, but he becomes the main sidekick in Kingdom and Agents, accompanying the player everywhere they go.
  • Blush Sticker: Buddy's humility causes this to happen at any point he receives (or perceives) a compliment.
  • Butt-Monkey: The poor guy's constantly tripping over himself, and is often tormented by the hotel guests.
  • Geek: Former member of the Marching Band, wishes he could decorate the hotel he works at like a Space Station, and some time after Agents, he is a Comicbook Artist.
  • Genius Ditz: He'll occasionally come out with something deep and brilliant amid his usual slew of cute Non Sequitur babble, much to the surprise of anyone who overhears him.
  • Meaningful Name: He's your buddy.
  • The Klutz: One of Buddy's idle animations is him falling over, despite not moving at all. When he is moving, chances are he'll fall over every third step.
  • Verbal Tic: "Pal".

Poppy

Violet's younger sister. Usually seen running her own flower shop.


  • Flower Motifs: As a poppy, her character is focused on her youth and innocence, in contrast to her sister Violet.
  • Genki Girl
  • Nice Girl: In Kingdom she is the first person to greet you and compliments everyone.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: Poppy is a bubbly young girl who loves flowers and all things cute. Her sister Violet only likes dead flowers and is usually in a deadpan expression.

Gino Delicioso

A stereotypical Italian chef and the first Business Sim one can invite to their town in the original game. In Agents, his pizzeria is your main character's original base of operations, and you later have to help him find a map thief.


  • Nervous Wreck: In many of the games, even a minor bump in the road has him sobbing that he's going to be ruined.
  • Supreme Chef: Gino's cooking is good enough to keep up a restaurant anywhere, from a bustling city to a one-star town with one flowershop to the Wild West

DJ Candy "Supergroove"

A disc jokey with a passion for partying, dancing, and making music. In Agents, she's an important character in two of the main cases, and a dispatch mission requires you to help her set up a


  • Genki Girl: The term "energetic" hardly does her any justice.
  • Hidden Depths: You'd be surprised just how much trivia DJ knows about sound, down to watts, reverb, and noise reduction filters.
  • The Last DJ
  • Life of the Party: Candy is essentially the party animal of My Sims, always listening to music, dancing and wanting to come back for more.

Sir Vincent Skullfinder

A treasure hunter. And by 'hunter', we mean 'gets other people to hunt for him'.


Ms. Nicole Vogue


Vic Vector

Manager of a video game store. In Kingdom, he is originally a janitor, but Dr. F convinces him to temporarily work as an astronaut. In Agents, he works with Rosalyn to solve a crime involving Yetis.

Elmira Clamp

A strict librarian with no respect for anyone else.
  • Freudian Excuse: In her youth she lived near a construction side and an airport in a house with thin walls. Her father was the lead drummer in a band and her mother raised howler monkeys. It's understandable why she hates noise as much as she does.
  • Jerkass: She can be pretty mean if you annoy her.
  • Mean Boss: Elmira employs the protagonist of Kingdom, and treats them with no sense of kindness even though they're breaking their backs wrangling pigs all day. This prompts to player to attempt to become King Roland's royal wizard.
  • Scary Librarian: Elmira sees people conversing as "noise pollution" and has few kind words for anyone.

Roxie Road

An ice cream salesperson who loves Bees. In addition to dressing like one, her shop is shaped like a giant beehive. In Agents she works for the player and runs forensic analysis as needed.


  • Mission Control: In Agents
  • Neat Freak: Roxie refuses for a speck of dust to go anywhere, which becomes ridiculous in Kingdom when she sets up shop in a desert.

Shirley


Master Aran


Goth Boy

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MySims_GothBoy7465.jpg

A boy that writes depressing poetry as a hobby. In Agents, he sells turkey on a fork at the boardwalk.


  • Crossdressing Voices: Has a female voice type that's altered to sound boyish. It's still pretty easy to tell, though.
  • Deadpan Snarker: He takes almost any opportunity he can to snark at anything resembling happiness.
  • Goth: Obviously.
  • No Name Given: Well, in the beta version of the first game, it's supposedly Herman. It's never mentioned in the actual game, though.
  • Perky Goth: Usually gloomy (as typical goth stereotype), but when something good happens to him, he's pretty happy (since he's programmed like other Sims). He even raises the roof when you throw bats at him!
  • When He Smiles: Despite his typically dark disposition, he's still programmed to smile under the proper conditions, just like other Sims.

Chef Watanabe


  • Last-Name Basis: Usually refers him Watanabe. In Kingdom, his first was reveal to be Hisao.

Ginny


  • New Job as the Plot Demands: She goes from Cap'n Ginny (a tavern boss) in original and Party, to Sheriff in Cowboy Junction in Kingdom, to Fire Chief in Racing, to Officer in Autumn Bay in Agents DS, to just an unlockable pilot in SkyHeroes.

Dr. F.

A mad scientist who appears in all six MySims games, he seems to delight in doing extremely lethal experiments and is responsible for the creation of T.O.B.O.R. and Makoto.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Despite being the most successful scientist in the series, he's probably the least logical character of all.
  • Einstein Hair: Textbook examples, likely as a result of nigh constant electrocution.
  • For Science!: He claims this is his motivation, but it seems he just likes making explosions.
  • Gadgeteer Genius
  • Mad Scientist: "The F stands for ROBOTS!" (in Agents); in Kingdom, "The F stands for ROCKETS!"
  • No Indoor Voice: Half is his dialogue is in allcaps.


Madame Zoe

    Cute Townie Sims 
Known Members: Clara Belle, Bean Bradley, Jeremy Snoars, Pinky, Beebee, Renée, Billy, Penelope, Taylor

In general:

Clara Belle


Beebee

A girl who thinks she's the queen of the bunny people, and if Kingdom is to be believed, she sort of is. In Agents, she's the obsessive girlfriend of Preston.


  • '80s Hair: She has a giant pink afro below her bunny ears, emphasizing her ditzy attitudes.
  • All Girls Want Bad Boys: Not that she's really aware of it.
  • Cloud Cuckoolander: She believes she's the queen of the bunny despite all evidence to the contrary.

Renée


    Fun Townie Sims 
Known Members: Travis Scott, Roger, Rhonda, Sandra, Annie Radd, Odin Revolution, Chaz McFreely, Summer Holiday, Pablo

In general:

  • What the Fu Are You Doing?: If Master Aran was moved in, Fun townies will pratice Sim-Fu in their idle animations, but they always act failed without Aran doing it.

Travis Scott

A pleasant character who loves his cell phone before everything else.
  • Big Man on Campus: In Kingdom, he is the most popular student of The Royal Academy by a long shot, to the point that the entire plot of the island revolves around everyone liking him.
  • Canon Immigrant: He appears in The Sims 4 base game.
  • Chaste Hero: In Kingdom, both of the female characters in The Royal Academy are in love with him and want him to take them to the Prom. Instead, he is more interested in his phone, which doesn't amuse either girl very much.
  • Chick Magnet
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: Some games list his last name as Boulevard, but this was apparently dropped at some point. In the first game he also expresses that he finds multiple girls to be cute but none of this is mentioned again in subsequent games.
  • Oblivious to Love: He doesn't really catch on that the girls have their eyes on him.
  • Phoneaholic Teenager: Beginning in Kingdom he's become obsessed with his phone to the point where he says its his most prized possession. In Agents his worst nightmare was not being able to have an amazing cell phone.
  • Swiss-Army Superpower: His cellphone has apps that can mimic animal calls, order pizzas, act as a glowstick, has beverage frothing capabilities.
  • Wearing a Flag on Your Head: Most incarnations have him wearing a Union Jack on his shirt. Not a straight example, since he's (presumably) not British.

Chaz McFreely

An extreme stuntman with a large ego.


  • Cool Shades
  • Jerk Jock
  • It's All About Me
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: He appears to hang out with the students in the Royal academy and manages to get followers for Team McFreely but no one seems to like him. Anyone who does either wises up (Taylor) or are weird (Sapphire and Tim).
  • Small Name, Big Ego: An odd variation because he is fairly famous (enough to have memorabilia at least) and even has his own fan club in Agents but few characters in-game seem to like him.
  • Sore Loser: If you beat him in a race in ''SkyHeroes' he'll become angry and claim you cheated somehow. It's also implied that he hates swimming related sports because he's a bad swimmer.
  • Unknown Rival: To Luke in ''Agents"". If he's close by he will do mean interactions to him for "stealing his thunder"!
    • To a lesser extent Travis in ''Kingdom". Travis doesn't seem to care about their rivalry and mostly treats Chaz as an annoyance than a rival.

    Spooky Townie Sims 
Known Members: Violet Nightshade, Ray, Raven Wright, Yuki, Crystal, Morcubus, Brandi, Esma, Blaine

In general:

Violet Nightshade

Poppy's rather cynical big sister.


  • Cool Big Sis: She even moves from Spookane to Cutopia to look after Poppy.
  • Goth: She's the first Spooky Sim to appear, and she sets the trend of gothic attitudes among all of them.
  • Flower Motifs: She's like a violet, dour and dark, in contrast to her youthful and bright sister, Poppy.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: While Violet is a dark Goth, Poppy is a happy-go-lucky young girl who loves things cute and bright.

Raven Wright

Yuki

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MySims_Yuki1895.jpg

A girl that's interested in biting people's faces.


Morcubus

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MySims_Morcubus990.jpg

The evil C.E.O. of MorcuCorp, who vies to rule the world. Initially a humorous take on villainous clichés, the last three games of the series upgrade him to the status of Big Bad.


  • Affably Evil: His bio in the original game says he's a Nice Guy when you get to know him. Doesn't really apply in games where he's the Big Bad, though.
  • Big Bad:
    • Racing has his company try to sabotage the town the game takes place in and threaten any racers who try to bring business back to the place with his employ of Spooky racers.
    • Agents sees him attempting to collect an Artifact of Doom known as the Nightmare Crown, while the player character systematically discovers all the lives he's ruined in his attempts to attain the object.
    • SkyHeroes paints him as a dictator who used his company's resources to take over the world with his army of MorcuDrones and other superweapons, leaving La RĂ©sistance to attempt to topple his regime.
  • Canon Immigrant/The Cameo: After a fashion. Sims in The Sims 3 telling scary stories around a campfire will occasionally flash a picture of Morcubus in their speech bubble. Whether this means he's an off-screen villain in the main Sims universe or a fictional character within the same is up for debate.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: Morcubus tries to kill people in order to further his company's endeavors in Racing.
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: In the very first game Morcubus was an Evil Redhead with Einstein Hair and looked much younger. His beard was also smaller. His more iconic look wasn't until Kingdom.
  • Evil Laugh: He revels in these, and frequently ends up coughing near the end of them.
  • For the Evulz: In Agents he tries to steal a little girl's dog. There's no ulterior motive behind it either; the dog was suddenly following him around and he decided to take it because he knew the girl would be upset about it. His idle animation also has him do an Evil Laugh.
  • Final Boss: After throwing all his minions and battleships at the heroes, Morcubus takes to the skies himself.
  • Kick the Dog: For no real reason, Morcubus steals Poppy's dog at the beginning of Agents.
  • Large Ham: "That would be I, the horrifying Morcubus! Does my example on this page make you shiver in your shoes?"
  • My Nayme Is: According to Kingdom, his name was supposed to be "Marcus", but his parents were The Illegible, resulting in his current name.
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast
  • Obviously Evil: The pointed hair, the unstoppable evil laughter and his goatee of evil all make it quite ludicrous when he tries to sell himself off as innocent early in Agents.
  • Pointy-Haired Boss: In addition to his pointy hair, it becomes obvious in Kingdom that he has no real idea what he's doing, with his security measures ranging from a vampire cosplayer, an extremely courteous zombie and an old woman who sells cookies.

Brandi

One of Morcubus's assistants in Agents.


  • Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Brandi may be somewhat cruel, but when put up to the straight-up mean Esma for hours at a time, it's easy to feel sorry for Brandi when things don't go her way.
  • Mook: Moreso than most of the other MorcuCorp goons, Brandi has little personality outside of being vaguely evil.

Esma

Morcubus's assistant in Agents along with Yuki and Brandi.


  • The Dragon: She likes to tell others that she is Morcubus' right-hand woman.
  • It's All About Me: She always likes to talk about herself and calls others "peons."
  • The Starscream: She doesn't actively try to overthrow Morcubus but when he and Evelyn end up stuck in the Nightmare Realm she's happy that she can rule the world on her own now.
  • Vocal Dissonance: Has one of the deepest-sounding voices in the game, at least among the girls.

    Studious Townie Sims 
Known Members: Gordon, Matt, Makoto, Linda, Amelia, Luis, Abigail, Eliza, Yvette

In general:

Makoto

A robot created by Dr. F to imitate a young girl, but who's robotic way of speaking makes it incredibly obvious who she is.
  • Blush Sticker: The regular Makoto.
  • Deceptively Human Robots: On the surface she looks like a rather ordinary (if overly happy) schoolgirl. Talk to her, though, and you'll see that speaks in ALL CAPS and constantly reasserts that she is "A HUMAN, LIKE YOU, NOT A ROBOT". Through talking to her you eventually discover that she was built by Dr. F, who she calls "father".
  • Robot Girl: The point of her existence. She goes to high school and even asks for help in Agents to get her yearbook signed and to become Prom Queen, trying to achieve "popular status".
  • Super-Powered Robot Meter Maids: Well, considering how she was built by Dr. F, it is obvious that she has Super-Strength and probably has all manner of other secret gadgets.

    Tasty Townie Sims 
Known Members: Patrick Rhino, Maria, Ruthie, Edwin, Sasha, Jimmy Watanabe, Iggy, Karine, Noelle
