Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap Sims Movie: Families We Hope To See

In March, it was announced that Margot Robbie's production company, LuckyChap, would be bringing the world of The Sims to the big screen. As someone who grew up huddled around the computer with friends, crafting the wildest character scenarios, I couldn't be more excited. Even now, a couple of my friends remain loyal Sims players, faithfully guiding their virtual families through life's many twists and turns. The game has evolved immensely, but those iconic pre-made families with their juicy storylines have always been a staple. So, which Sims families are we hoping to see in the movie?

While The Sims franchise lets players create their own stories and stir up all kinds of drama, the pre-made families add an extra layer of intrigue. With founding families full of betrayal, grudges, and personal obstacles, the game's lore is deep and absolutely chaotic.

One family I’m really hoping makes the cut is The Crumplebottom family. In The Sims 3, Beatrice, Belinda, and Bianca are the youngest members, and they even show up as the three witches in The Sims 3: Supernatural. But let's be real: the most memorable Crumplebottom is Agnes. Introduced in the Hot Date edition of The Sims, she's the purse-wielding vigilante who shows up to whack any overly romantic Sims in public.

Then there's the Pleasant family, one of the original founding families from the first Sims game. Daniel and Mary-Sue seem like the perfect couple with their teenage twins, Angela and Lilith, but the second you start playing as them, the drama unravels fast. Fingers crossed they make an appearance too.

And, of course, no Sims movie would be complete without a nod to the Goth family. They're easily the most well-known family in The Sims universe. Bella and Mortimer Goth, along with their kids Cassandra and Alexander, have been around since the very first game. Mortimer’s parents, Gunther and Cornelia Goth, are also playable in The Sims 3 prequel, where players can raise Mortimer.

The Sims franchise, inspired by creator Will Wright's own experience with a house fire, burst onto the scene in 2000 and quickly became a bestseller. With a fifth installment in the works, ten years after The Sims 4. This series shows no signs of slowing down.

These days, I often stumble upon TikTok videos where gamers take on wild challenges, like recreating storylines from their favorite shows or movies, building a massive, wealthy family, or trying to have a child with every man in the game. And let's not forget those deep dives into mods (modification codes) that take the game to a whole new level. The possibilities are endless, and I can't wait to see how this game translates on the big screen.
