Since they are not living on a residential lot that has a phone, they are not considered to have a phone, even if they have a cell phone. Sims in the family bin cannot be called, even if they have cell phones. So, for example, if there is a Downtown attached to Pleasantview, any of Pleasantview's inhabitants could go to live in Downtown and vice-versa. A sub-hood (with the exception of a university) attached to a neighborhood shares its family bin. Sub-neighborhoods are the exception, though.
The family bin, unlike the lots and houses bin, is neighborhood specific, so families can't be moved from one neighborhood to another. This feature allows teens who are going to college to join an existing (non-Greek) household, and allows graduates to do things such as re-join their families or form households with friends from college. Until University, Sims or Sim families in the family bin could not be combined with other households. If Create-A-Student or the Send Teens to College tool is used, the player will be able to name the household. Households created in Create-A-Student are placed there, as are households created by sending teen Sims to college, and students who are moving from one college residence to another. With University, college sub-neighborhoods have a student bin, which serves the same purpose as the family bin. If The Sims 2: University is installed, a Sim goes into the family bin when he or she leaves college, and his or her last name will be used as the household name. Telling a Sim to do this places them in the family bin, and the last name of the Sim who used the paper or computer to find their own place will be used as the household name. The Sims 2 adds the ability for individual family members to move out by using the "Find Own Place" option in a newspaper or computer. Other neighborhoods do not have pre-made families in the Family bin. Since they are not living on a residential lot that has a phone, they are not considered to have a phone. This screen also contains the button used to access Create a Sim. Individual Sims are unable to move to the family bin from an existing household in order to move Sims from the game into the family bin, the entire family must be evicted.
The player can select a family and either delete it or move it into a lot.
For each family, it shows the family's name, a headshot of each member, the amount of funds the family has, and the number of family friends. The bin is rather basic, and is simply a list of families. The button is at the left of the button bar, and has a stylized picture of a family. The family bin in The Sims accessed by clicking the "Create A Family" button in the button bar at the top of the neighborhood view.
