The Sims 2: Pets (console)/Townies

There are Townies that can be unlocked after earning enough aspiration points through completing wants in the town. Each family can contribute to these points. Once unlocked, they can appear at The Town Square or visit the player's home.

Townies
The following table introduces you to each Townie and provides info about their pets, skills and personality. They can be made playable if asked to move in with the player or get married. Note: Every pre-made Townie in the game appears to have the Family aspiration, despite most of them having wants that correspond to different aspirations; this may be an error made in development. The table will show the aspirations they were supposed to have according to their wants, but remember they will all say Family in-game.
