The Capp (Speaker Icon Listen) family is a large family who lives in Veronaville. Their name is a reference to the Capulet family in Romeo and Juliet. They are involved in a feud with the Monty family. Juliette Capp is currently in a secret relationship with the Monty heir, Romeo Monty. The family tree can be traced to the youngest generation's great-great-grandparents, while in most families, it can only be traced to the youngest generation's grandparents.

Goneril, Albany, Cordelia, Regan, Kent, and Cornwall are all characters from King Lear. Desdemona is named after a character from Othello, and Caliban, Miranda, and Ariel are named after characters from The Tempest.

Inheritance

In the Capp family, the husband takes the wife's last name, meaning that the family is matrilineal. Consort Capp's name - consort - means spouse of the head of a royal or noble family (note that Consort's late spouse is named Contessa, which means countess in Italian, hinting that the Capp family might be noble). Because the Capps are matrilineal, they can be easily married to the Summerdreams, another premade matrilineal family, while the Monty family is patrilineal. Matrilinearity does not mean matriarchy.

If the Capp family follows real-life primogeniture but through the female line, then the heir of the Capp family will follow this pattern:

  1. Miranda Capp, daughter of Goneril.
  2. Desdemona Capp, daughter of Goneril.
  3. Ariel Capp, daughter of Goneril.
  4. Regan Capp, daughter of Contessa.
  5. Juliette Capp, daughter of Cordelia.
  6. Hermia Capp, daughter of Cordelia.

However, the player may choose to go by Shakespeare's canon for the characters' roles and behaviors, as Shakespeare's canon may not follow strict primogeniture. Either way, or something completely random, is equally valid, as this is a sandbox game. The script event has a broken token that needs to be removed in sim pe.

Capp Manor

Main article: Capp Manor

The Capps live in one of the largest lots in Veronaville, situated at the far edge of the 'English' side of town, opposite the Monty Ranch. The Manor is relatively small and is situated at the back of the lot.
