Johnny Zest (né Landgraab) is a pre-made Sim who resides in Oasis Springs from The Sims 4. Johnny lives on his own in Slipshod Mesquite, a trailer home, and begins with §3,950.
Johnny is a young adult, 23 days away from becoming an adult. He works in the entertainer career at level 2 (open mic seeker). He has two skill points in comedy and has the Joke Star aspiration. He has no relationships at the beginning of the game.
Johnny is also featured as a Quest NPC during the Sandy Suburbs tasks in The Sims FreePlay.
Family controversy[]
According to his family bio, he is a member of the Landgraab family but was disowned by them after dropping out of school to follow the career of being an entertainer. Possibly due to an oversight and lack of family trees at the time of release, his relatives do not know him at all and the game does not internally recognize their familial relation. This can cause a bit of a chaos as, with Story Progression enabled, he may enter into a relationship with and marry other Landgraabs.
The common assumption amongst players is that Johnny is Nancy and Geoffrey Landgraab's son, although this has never been confirmed by the Sims Team.[1] A photograph of him being held by Nancy as an infant was used to promote the release of The Sims 4: Growing Together; however, the alt text of the image neutrally labels her as "a relative" rather than his mother.[2]
Johnny's lifestyle and background have some similarities to The Sims's Dudley Landgraab. They both have both been disowned by the Landgraabs and live in trailer homes within a sand-covered region. The main difference is that Johnny is career ambitious, while Dudley is not. This may suggest that it is common for the Landgraabs to disown any sims who don't conform to family ideals. As it is not clear whether "Johnny" is his real first name or part of his stage name, there is a possibility that he is The Sims 4's version of Dudley.

Trivia[]
- Due to a bug, Johnny's first and last name would sometimes switch, causing him to be called "Zest Johnny", instead of Johnny Zest. However, this was fixed as a part of patch 10.
- He may have been designed loosely after the titular character from the cartoon Johnny Test, in terms of outfit choice and chatty, playful personality.
