The Curious family has been closely associated with weird science ever since they appeared in The Sims 2. The early Curiouses appeared in The Sims 3: Ambitions as a family deeply interested in science.
Biography
The Sims 2
The Curiouses in The Sims 2 have a fondness for aliens. Glarn Curious was abducted by Pollination Technician 9 and had twin girls, Lola and Chloe Curious. Pascal Curious is pregnant with an alien child when the family is first played, and Jenny Smith married Pollination Technician 9, her half-sisters' father, and has had two children with him (Johnny and Jill Smith). Vidcund will be abducted and impregnated, if directed by the player to use one of the telescopes when the player first starts playing the household. When loaded for the first time, this popup message will appear:
"Vidcund wants to explore the heavens, but his new telescope might bring him a little too close for comfort!"
Their starting funds are §4242. This may be a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, in which 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything.
The family relationships between the brothers and their half-alien relatives are not set. Checking with SimPE shows that the brothers know their full sister, Jenny, but not her husband or children. They also do not know their half-sisters Lola and Chloe.
The Curious family has a box of pizza in their house at the start of the game.
Despite the trio returning in The Sims 2 for PSP, they do not seem to be related to one another in this version of Strangetown. Oddly enough, they still share the same surname.
The Sims 3
Marshall Curious is a busy scientist in Twinbrook, but the family struggles to pay the mortgage. Cherish Curious took up teaching to make ends meet, and discovered that she loved the career. Notzo Curious, grandfather of the Curious brothers and Jenny in The Sims 2, is only a toddler in The Sims 3: Ambitions, and is best friends forever with Zo Whelohff. The Curious family live far out of town in a large three-story home with a sizeable, but empty garden, a Drafting table, a Scraptronic™ Workbench and a large basement. Their home is located in one of Twinbrook's many swamps. There is a Sim named Steward Curious buried in Twinbrook, although his relationship to the family is never stated, although he bears a striking resemblance to Marshall, and has the same haircut and facial hair, further suggesting some sort of relation.
The Curiouses are one of the few families that have five generations, along with Veronaville's Monty and Capp families.
The Sims 4
There are two Curious family households in The Sims 4.
The first household is a recreation of the classic The Sims 2 Curious family, featuring the three brothers Pascal, Vidcund and Lazlo, that was uploaded by the official Maxis account to the gallery.[1] In this version, Pascal is pregnant, although the unborn baby is not an alien.
The second household with the last name Curious came with the "Stuck in Their Shadow" scenario, which was added to the game in Patch 134 on August 30th, 2022. This scenario introduced a new Curious family member: Nova Curious. According to the scenario's dialogues, Nova is cousins with Tycho Curious, meaning she has to be the daughter of one of Pascal Curious' siblings, either Vidcund or Lazlo. She has the same eye shape and jawline as Lazlo, and has black eyebrows, so it is likely that she is Lazlo's daughter.
Onomatology
Curious: to be interested in exploring and learning about one's surrounding environment.
Pascal Curious : Hebrew for "associated with Easter (or Passover)". It may also be a reference to the famous French mathematician Blaise Pascal. A pascal is also the S.I. unit of pressure.
Vidcund Curious: a Norwegian first name meaning "famous," which fell out of fashion as Vidkun Quisling became leader of the Nazi puppet government of Norway during World War II.
Lazlo Curious: Means rules with glory. Also spelled Laszlo.
Tycho Curious: Likely a reference to the 16th century Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe.
Glarn Curious: So the name sounds like "darn curious." In The Sims: Superstar, the song "Glabe Glarn" could be sung in Studio Town to make money and raise star level.
Kitty Curious: her name might be a play on the saying, "Curiosity killed the cat."
Glabe Curious: named after a song that came with The Sims: Superstar, Glabe Glarn could be sung in studio town to make money and raise star level.
Notzo Curious: possibly meaning "Not so curious" as if signifying that he was not a very curious Sim.
Zo Curious: possibly meaning "So curious" as if signifying that she was a very curious Sim.
Cherish Curious: possibly meaning "Curiously careful" or "curious careful."
Bunny Curious: her name means "small curious rabbit."
Marshall Curious: probably meaning "Curious Marshal."
Nova Curious : a given name of Latin origin ("novus") meaning "new." In astronomy, a nova is a bright star.
