The Racket family is a large family who reside in Twinbrook, the world introduced with The Sims 3: Ambitions. It consists of elderly grandparents, Max and his wife Marigold, their sons Dudley, Bill and Dennis, Dennis' wife Silver, and the couple's two teenage children, Shark and Lolly. The majority of the family lives at 53 Puddlewick Road and has 75,000 simoleons, while Dudley lives by himself at 12 Catfish Flats Drive and only has 1,300 simoleons.
The Racket family seems to have been modeled on a mafia family. One of the clues alluding to this is that many of the members seem to have monikers such as Shark or Silver. Another clue is that some of the family's bios state that Max Racket has a mystery "business," and, according to most of them, the "business" is one of crime. The name Racket comes from racket, which is an illegal business, usually run as part of organized crime.
Max and Marigold, the family leaders, are both Evil and Mean-Spirited with selfish streaks. Marigold appears to be the actual head of the mafia and not her husband Max, having had a history working as a Supervillainess in the Criminal career. However, it is Max who is considered the "legendary patriarch", possibly because of his Lucky trait and the fact he is a deliberate Kleptomaniac. Max either kept any stolen items for himself or, as evidenced by his high skill level in the Consignment skill, sold the goods at the Consignment store for money.
The teens, Lolly and Shark, hate each other; Lolly is a Hopeless Romantic and has the Never Nude trait, but Shark is less romantic and is more into flirting. Neither are aware of the family's business, and, according to the family's bio, they beg for attention, but end up ignored and forgotten.
Dennis is a Kleptomaniac, Hopeless Romantic, Neat and Ambitious Mooch who has joined the mafia along with his mother, Marigold. His wife Silver is a snobby party-girl with a selfish streak who was initially hesitant about marrying Dennis, but changed her mind when she became aware of the amount of cash the family had.
Dennis' brother, Dudley, is a kind-hearted and perceptive man who quickly learned the truth about his family's business and grew a strong sense of justice. In his household bio, it is mentioned that Dudley was teased and tormented by his family and moved out of the family manor in an attempt to disconnect from them.
Dennis' other brother, Bill, is a difficult, inappropriate man who is eager to marry someone but only for their money, as shown by his lifetime wish.
The three brothers appear to be competing for something, as they all have a rivalry with each other. All members of the family are enemies with at least one person in the house.
There is a deceased Sim in Twinbrook named S. Windle Racket. It is implied that he is related to the Racket family since he has both the Evil trait and the Mean-Spirited trait and his lifetime wish is to be the emperor of evil, but he does not appear on the family tree.
An urn of another deceased Sim, Pixie Carlton, can be found on the first floor of the house. Pixie does not appear on the family tree and is most likely not related to the Rackets in any way. Pixie died of Electrocution; while it is impossible in normal gameplay, she might have been murdered.
