Olive Specter

Olive Specter (née Muenda) is one of the pre-created, playable sims that ships with The Sims 2 game. She and her niece, teen Ophelia Nigmos, reside in the Specter household in the neighborhood of Strangetown. Olive is a many-timed widower - her many husbands included Hugh Thanasia, Rigger Mortis, and Ichabod Specter (all are deceased before the game begins). She was also left at the altar by Earl E. DeMise, who died soon after.

Olive shares her eerie, haunted home with her sister's daughter, teen Ophelia Nigmos. Her sister, Willow Nigmos and husband, Creon Nigmos are both deceased; their deaths the result of Drowning. There are also a number of other people buried in Olive's backyard along with family and former husbands - some of them are service people (maids, delivery people, etc.) leading one to believe that Olive may be a serial killer.

Olive did WooHoo with none other than the Grim Reaper; suggesting Olive had more than a passing relationship with death. Many believe that Olive might murder mulpile sims to be able to meet the Reaper again, since he only appears when someone dies.

Olive had a son - Nervous Subject - who was taken away by the Social Worker. There is no record of Nervous's father in the family tree, though some say it is the Grim Reaper. Nervous, now an Adult, currently resides at the Beaker residence with Loki Beaker and Circe Beaker.

She is the daughter of Lerato Muenda and Peponi Muenda, both also of Strangetown, who both perished as a result of Fire.

Player stories

 * In my game, Olive Specter is a serial killer. She is in love with the Grim Reaper and the only time she can see him is when someone dies.  Her backyard is full of the graves of people she's killed.  During her life, she continues on her rampage, killing several Townies and one of the Singles girls.  Her niece Ophelia never suspects anything because she's too creeped out by the graveyard to go in it and Olive is quick about moving the graves and hiding the evidence.  Olive never reunites with her son Nervous.  After her own death, Nervous finally gets enough money saved up to liberate himself from the Beakers.  He digs into his family tree, discovers the truth about his birth and changes his name to Oliver Grimm in honor of both his parents.  He remains eccentric due to the abuse he suffered at the hands of the Beakers and becomes a cult leader.  Olive's niece Ophelia returns to Strangetown after college and begins work in the Paranormal field as well.  In a vision she finally sees what really happened to all the people buried in her yard.  She dedicates her life and her income to resurrecting those Olive killed, giving them a second chance at life.  When she finishes, she sells Olive's grave for money so no one can ever bring her back to life (not that anyone would).


 * In my game, Olive is still a killer, and goes about killing various townies including her niece Ophelia. She tries to drown Bella Goth (The fake one) but fails. And as Bella knows that it's her that's murdering the townies, she decides to try and warn the people of Strangetown. Olive then plans on murdering Bella, but fails everytime. It all comes down to a final confrontation with Bella in the Specter house. The pair fight for survival and in the end Bella is 2 seconds away from being murdered...when the Grim Reaper arrives to tell Olive her time has come to die. Olive begs the Grim Reaper that if she stays on Earth she will keep him busy...and they can start a relationship. But the Grim Reaper has a job to do...and he takes Olive leaving her grave with Bella. Bella then takes the grave to a park "Downtown" and decides to leave it there...as Bella leaves the park the people of Strangetown can now relax as the murderer has died...however...Olive Son, Nervous thinks otherwise...
