The history of the Specter family in The Sims

There are many famous families throughout The Sims universe's timeline, and one of them has recently made a comeback after a long absence: the Specter family, first introduced in The Sims 2 and returning in The Sims 4. : Life & Death Olive Specter has quite the past if you dig into it.

With a large family cemetery nearby every location appears in the series. History of the angel of death And the neural substance seems to have been renamed in recent lore as well. Here's what you need to know about Spectre's family history.

The Sims 2

First introduced in The Sims 2 in September 2004, the Specter family is one of the strangest families in the history of the game. The head of the Olive Specter family lives on Dead End Lane in the otherworldly neighborhood of Strangetown. There is a rather strange plot of land in the house. There are 19 graves in the yard. Only Olive Specter and her granddaughter Ophelia are still alive when you… Load into the family for the first time in a new record on this particularly haunted lot.

Olive's backstory is a sad one if you consider her genealogy or memories. She was once engaged to Earl E. DeMiss, who left her at the altar at their wedding. (And is said to have died almost immediately after doing so.) From here, Olive would marry three times in her life. But all her husbands seem to end up dying in front of her. Taking up multiple positions in the family plot, when Olive becomes irritated by her impending death, she tracks down the Grim Reaper after her other husband dies.

Grim's tattered cloak and protruding ribs in The Sims 2 are far more repulsive than in previous installments, but upon meeting him in person, Olive falls madly in love. In her memory, she remembers WooHooing with the Grim Reaper shortly after her second husband passed away. And she had her son Nervous Subject soon after – as a senior. This is biologically impossible in The Sims.

The nervous story is a boy who has no father in his family tree. This means that he is not biologically related to any of Olive's husbands. After being neglected by Olive's care about neglect. A nerve was also placed with the Beakers, a family of scientists who were presumably using him in experiments. Due to his jerky nature as an adult.

Who is buried on Olive Specter's property?

with various things Many are considered cemeteries. You'll have to delve into Olive's memories to piece together who each Sim is and what happened. Because many of these deaths cannot be explained or related to the family in any way, and Olive remembers that they died of unnatural causes. The general theory is that Olive Specter may be a serial killer.

People buried in the Specter family lot include:

• Family members Lerato and Peponi Muenda, Olive's parents, both died in the fire, as did sister-in-law Willow and her husband Creon, who both drowned.

• Four past loves of Olive Including their families.

  • Earl E. DeMise and his brother Tim Le DeMise Both of whom died from electric shock.

  • Rigger Mortis was Olive's first husband to die in the fire.

  • Hugh Thanasia died in the fire.

  • Ichabod Spector is one of the few Sims in the house to die of natural causes as they age.

• Random Sims that don't appear to be related to the family.

  • Those who died from electrocution included Patrick Jones and Lyla Grunt.

  • Those who died by drowning included Luke Smith and Brenda Zaidi.

  • Those who died of starvation include Melissa Sims, Vicki Sims, Jessica Ebadi, Benjamin Cho, Danielle Greaves, and Seth Zaidi. Some of these characters were service NPCs, such as maids, exterminators, and pizza delivery men.

according to her memory The earliest death that Olive can remember is that of Danielle Greaves, a pizza girl who starved to death when Olive was a teenager. Meanwhile, the latest is Brenda Zaidi, a mail carrier who died shortly before you were loaded into Specter, the family journal.

The Sims 4

Although The Sims 4 canonically takes place in an alternate timeline, Olive Specter returns to the series in the expansion The Sims 4: Life & Death, which launches on Halloween 2024. The family includes Olive. Specter is an adult who works as a morgue assistant in Occupation: Undertaker Her fiancé Layne Coffin, as well as Olive's teenage son Nyon Specter, are an important part of the Order of Lenore who want to reunite with the legendary tarot deck. This family is on the cover of the expansion.

Some members of the family have rather distinctive characteristics who died in the parallel universe of Sims 2 Olive is Alluring, which might explain all the husbands. But all of her dying husbands filled her with horror. Nyon, meanwhile, has the Chased by Death trait. He doesn't have the Child of Grim trait that is iconic to the Grim Reaper's children in the expansion, but he does have a scythe mark behind his left ear suspiciously similar to this trait. A very curious feature of the house is that it is in a sacred area.

The Sims team confirmed in a developer stream ahead of the set's launch that Nyon was the name of the Nervous Subject before the Beaker family experimented, calling Nyon “pre-nervous.”

Olive seems to hate the Gomes family, which is quite red with Esther and Tziporah when you first load into the family. She has a friendly relationship with Nyon and loves Layne quite a lot, but Nyon and Layne have a slightly negative relationship with each other.

Although the city cemetery is located in a different area of ​​the Eternal Rest cemetery, the Specter house is next door with an easel for viewing the beautiful paintings. While most of the 19 graves from The Sims 2 have been relegated to nearby obscure crypts or non-interactive background graves amidst nearby flower beds. There were four prominent tombs in front of the Specter family residence.

These belong to Earl E. DeMise, Rigger Mortis, Hugh Thanasia, and Ichabod Spectre – Olive's four lovers throughout her life. Each one has an inscription carved into them that is treated in your notification wall as a haunting inscription with their name. that they were married to Olive at the time of their deaths The same goes for puns about their death-related names (such as Rigger Mortis' inscription referring to a “stiff upper lip”).

The Tomb of Rigger Mortis and Ichabod Specter reward you with the Wheel of Fortune and Suspension tarot cards for your collection, respectively. You can pick them up using your intuition on their grave in Crow's Crossing after starting your tarot card collection at the local Tarot Tome.

As a fun Easter egg If you count the 10 graves in the background, the two gravestones in Spectre's side yard, the crypt, the empty grave in front. And of Olive's four late husbands, there will be 19 graves still on or around Specter, so much for the family.

Talking with everyone in the house about the rumors about Ravenswood reveals some interesting information about the Specter family legend. Olive says that she admires Zuleika Izadi (whose last name is an anagram of Zaidi, which is also her last name). of the last death that Olive remembers in The Sims 2) without asking about “her past” and mentioning that Nyon had asked a question about his father that Olive chose not to answer. Olive often came late at night. After 10:00 PM, I hope your other SIM is a night owl.

With enough pressure between Nyon and Layne, you learn that Layne believes Olive has something to do with her late husband's death. And not only are they not afraid of this. But also excited by the idea of ​​being killed by Olive, Nyon said Layne was constantly leaving the basement. And he once saw Layne pat the grave of one of Olive's late husbands on the front lawn. Maybe he was the one who installed that empty fifth grave in front of Olive's other deceased husband?

If you're still interested in playing with the older version of Olive Specter from The Sims 2, you can download Ophelia, her niece and many of her nieces from the gallery in The Sims 4. She'll function as a complete game. Sim is separated from TS4's Olive and the two don't know each other. So you can place both in the same log file without any problem. You can still experience nerves in families with younger beakers.
