Hi guys, I'm making families from around the world on my gallery! So far I have added families from twenty countries and I don't want to stop anytime soon. I value diversity and I don't see enough of it on the gallery so here you go! Just leave a comment and download if you like them :)
My Gallery ID is Gameboy2936, but you can also view these families with the hashtag #aroundtheworld

MEXICO: Suárez
Family matters in the Suárez household! Sofía's mother, Valentina, always was the one who brought up her Salsa moves to the new generations. Sofía met Miguel behind the kitchen counters at a fancy dinner with her mum. Miguel's hospitality got the two closer together. And they managed to have a loving family, undoubtly. Any Suárez will love bowling, but geeky Sebastián proclaims himself as Bowling King. Camila loves dancing with her mother and grandmother, but she in fact wanted to take that a step further and persue music. Valentina has to take care of the children when mum and dad are at work. Is she capable of it by herself? Not to mention Fernanda's antics!

FRANCE: Dubois
Maxime may seem just like an ordinary guy who takes care of his loving family with his wife, Aurélie. Enzo and Zoé, their two children, have been noticing some strange habits of their dad, but Aurélie doesn't seem to understand anything about this story. Every night, apparently Maxime is trying to think of his next criminal plan. But does he really want this "career" of his, when there's children around?

ITALY: Giordano
Francesca grew up in a family farm south of Bologna, Italy, and owned several animals including her favorite cow, Biscotti. She met Filippo in a holiday to Rome, and she fell in love quickly. Grabbing phone numbers before leaving was a relief. Despite living further away, road trips to Rome was always a pleasure. She was inspired by Filippo's mixology skills. A few years later, they finally married at the family farm in Bologna, and they had twins, Alessia and Chiara. But these two haven't seemed to agree all the time. Chiara is a party girl at heart. Alessia has heard her mom's stories of animal care and she wants to take that up. Then, Francesca and Filippo had Lorenzo, their youngest son who is quite a social butterfly. But of course, he's too young to revel in Chiara's activities. So Alessia is the odd one out. But she's missed out on animal care when they had to move to the city, so they can support Filippo's job. Alessia was gutted to move, so she had got Fabio, a dog, for the time being until they move back to where their heart belonged to.

POLAND: Pawłowski
The Pawłowskis are outdoorsy and a gentle family. Alicja met Franciszek at the local garden in town, and they found so many things that make them similar people. Franciszek, though, never found an opportunity to become a professional snowboarder, but has dreams... right after he had Aleksandra and Szymon with Alicja. Aleksandra really wants to join in, but school is getting in her way.

HUNGARY: Nagy
Máté is an aspiring scientist. Making several breakthroughs, meeting Viktória was meant to be. Two similar people. People say that Zsófia may be the only one interested in her dad's persuits. But Hanna, the eldest, still has dreams. She wants to climb to Mt. Komorebi's summit, but her parents don't have the time to do that. But they like skiing, just like her, though. Ádám, the youngest, doesn't need the help of his parents, but he is learning. One day he will gain their trust. So, Viktória is remaining a stay at home mum for now... but there's three children. She's wondering, is it worth it to try a career, too?

FINLAND: Virtanen
Siiri was a high-achieving student. She loved meeting up with her teachers after a good school day, even when she found the work hard. Every year, she loved looking forward to Christmas, but understood that it's not about what you recieve, but how you love your parents and siblings. After completing her studies, she studied Psychology at university and found Arttu, studying in Biology. The two didn't always have the same interests, but in their minds, opposites attract. Arttu may be a doctor, but he loves his skiing. And it seems Siiri's knowledge has passed on very well onto the children, too! The kids are getting inspiration every day from their ventures into the world of work. Onni is very gifted. He's already a Grade B student and his creativity is shining. Aada is someone who wants to become a 'jack of all trades', but focus on her mental skills. Yet, she is a bit shy and struggles to open up. The youngest, Leevi, is very observant about his parents' work, so it's no wonder he wants to learn more about following in their footsteps.

GREECE: Ioannidis
The Ioannidis from Thessaloniki in Greece are a large family with shared passions. Konstantinos is a proud grandfather, who loves to crack a good inside family joke. He stays at home with the kids alongside Nikolaos. Nikolaos' wife, Angeliki, is an up-and-coming actress! She's only starred in some commercials, she's just looking for an important role. At least having Nikolaos on the job alongside his father should make family care easier! A studious bro Giorgos, an aspiring DJ Dimitria, a sociable Aikaterini, an adventurous Athanasios, and a goofy Vasiliki, each is different. But they share one goal together: each one of them is shooting for big dreams in their futures, all thanks to the help of their parents.

But they have to juggle three like-minded kids, and two careers at the same time. Youssef is living with Amina to take care of the kids. Nadia says she's the low-maintainence child. She would love to study in a psychology degree just to escape her younger kids' habits, but not to mention that Mohammed is one who desires to play pranks and tell jokes, an that Imane is rather high-maintainence despite her angelic nature. But the main motto of the Idrissis is that you can find love and have families, no matter how far or close away you are in the world.

    Oh hey, it seems I already follow you on the Gallery! Nice to see you and your diverse Sims! You're absolutely right, the Gallery doesn't have enough diversity, and I wish more Simmers would put an effort into making Sims that aren't just the same-looking as everyone else's.

    Not sure what happened, but I cannot edit my first post for some reason. Need to wait to see if they can look into it and fix the problem. (EDIT: Hopefully you can all see this edited message right here. If you can, that means that there must be a problem with editing older posts, or there is a character limit. I hope they can look into that.)

    Either way, here's my newest additions to the series below:

    NETHERLANDS: Verhoeven
    A close-knit family of five from the Netherlands - Martijn is a veterinarian who recently opened up a new clinic of his own. Martijn has to manage his employees, his clients... it's not an easy thing. But ever since a young age, he loved animals unconditionally. With his wife Sanne being an assistant nurse at her local hospital, it's simply not an easy job to drop the kids off to school every day. There's often an emergency or two, say, once a week. But she loves her job. Daan and Zoë surprisingly love going to school every day, too. Sophie is still growing up, and she spends time with Sanne's mother, Yvonne, while everyone is working or studying at school. But when Sophie is in her element, she loves to crack a smile onto someone's face. Outside of their busy schedule... a much loved family activity is skiing. They like to regularly travel to Scandinavia to enjoy the snow!

    NIGERIA: Okonkwo
    Chinyere Okonkwo didn't grew up in the best of surroundings. She was in a small community village, but Chinyere knew what to do about it. On a road trip to the busy city of Owerri in Igboland, Nigeria, she met Ugochukwu, a local gardener, and moved in together in the city. Chinyere was able to start her dreams of being an interior decorator, whilst falling in love with her new roommate, quickly marrying, too. Since her boss knew she was a proud Igbo tribe woman, she was given a few gigs in her town of birth and Chinyere was elated. All of her accomplishments do not go unnoticed. Her child, Ifunanya, loves her mum's job. She tries to secretly tag along in a few cases. Ugochukwu and Chinyere's other children, Chukwuma and Ijeoma, are no exception from becoming something big in the future, too. Chukwuma is on a mission to make his way onto the big stage of being an athlete, proud to represent the Nigerian peoples. Think about it, though: it's not as easy as one thinks! At least his father has Chukwuma's full support.
