Houston McCarthy is one of the pre-made townies who resides in Belladonna Cove, the neighborhood shipped with The Sims 2: Apartment Life. He can be made playable by befriending and asking him to move in, or by marrying him. Like all pre-made townies, Houston's relationships with other townies are usually randomized at the start of the game. He is employed in the Medicinecareer as a Resident.
As far as personality, Houston is very playful, and a little bit neat, and outgoing. But he is quite lazy and somewhat grouchy. When it comes to his skills, Houston is halfway towards maximizing the cleaning skill, and slightly over halfway towards maximizing the creativity skill, but he doesn't have a high level in any of the other skills. He is mostly interested in Environment, Crime, and Entertainment. Houston has the same facial structure as Glen Deppiesse.
