The Summerdream family is named after Shakespeare's play, A Midsummer Night's Dream. In the play, Oberon is the king of the fairies; Titania is the queen of the fairies; Puck is a fairy; and Bottom is a victim of Puck's spell, which causes Titania to falsely love him. The Summerdream family is matrilineal, which means that their last name is passed down the female line.

| Description | |
| Having put down roots many moons ago, the Summerdreams are Everdew's opulent High Fae family. Notable couple Titania and Oberon struggle to navigate the challenges of parenthood alongside their emotionally tumultuous marriage. But luckily for them, Fairies thrive on emotional happenstance, so at least they're well satiated by the drama. As for Mara, she anxiously awaits the day her wings will sprout and spends her afternoons fishing with her father or racing butterflies. | |

The Summerdream family makes a return in The Sims 4: Enchanted by Nature. In this alternate universe, Oberon and Titania are married, and unlike their original incarnation, they don't appear to have adopted Puck or Bottom yet. Instead, they have a young daughter, Mara, who seems to be a younger (and alternate) version of Faerie Queen Mara.

The Summerdream (
Listen) family is a pre-made playable family residing in Veronaville, one of the neighborhoods shipped with The Sims 2. It consists of a dating couple, Oberon and Titania, and their two adoptive children, Puck and Bottom. They live at 71 Bard Boulevard. In The Sims 2, Oberon and Titania aren't married, but may have the want to be married.
They don't appear to be the parents of Mara in this game, but since she was an NPC in The Sims 1, she is either not their daughter in this timeline or has broken contact with her parents to the point of being disowned.
Puck is in love with Hermia Capp. In the Story Mode, there is a little boy very close to two adults. The adults may be Puck's parents who brought him to the orphanage. The woman sitting down is likely the orphanage caretaker.
