The Contrary Family is one of the premade families in Desiderata Valley that came with the Free Time expansion pack. The Contrary Family includes adult Opal Contrary who loves Nature along with her husband Edward Contrary who prefers Science. Together, however, they love their teen son Rick Contrary that loves his Games. When the player first loads the family, Rick has resentment towards his parents, claiming that they "just don't understand what he's going through." He claims the only Sim to understand him is Violet Jocque, and it seems that the Jocque Family are good friends with the Contrarys, as evidenced through photos.
