The Monty (Speaker Icon Listen) family is a large family residing in Veronaville. Their name is a reference to the Montague family in Romeo and Juliet, as is much of Veronaville. They are involved in a feud with the Capp family. Romeo Monty is currently in a secret relationship with the Capp heiress, Juliette. The Monty family lives on the Monty Ranch. Several members of the Monty family are overweight, most likely because the family is involved in Culinary arts. The family is patrilineal while the Capp family is matrilineal.

The Monty family made a comeback in Monte Vista from The Sims 3 Store. There are two separate families in the town: the first generation and the newer generation.

Inheritance

The Monty family is patrilineal, meaning that things pass down the male line. Given that both the Capps and Summerdreams are matrilineal, the Montys cannot easily be married to either of them. Patrilinearity does not mean patriarchy.

If the Monty family follows real-life primogeniture, then the heir of the Monty family will follow this pattern.

  1. Antonio Monty, son of Patrizio
  2. Benedick Monty, son of Antonio
  3. Mercutio Monty, son of Claudio
  4. Romeo Monty, son of Claudio

Assuming European patriarchy and patrilineage, Antonio Monty should be heir, despite that Romeo, as the last in line of the male successors, is presented by Maxis as the heir. There are multiple player interpretations. One is that Maxis has goofed up the birth order. Another is that Romeo's father is Patrizio's favorite son, and Claudio's favorite son is Romeo. Another alternative theory is that the Monty family uses the rarer ultimogeniture rather than primogeniture instead.
