Ava first appears in Strangetown in search of "history." She demands to stay in the Penthouse and is the second antagonist in the game. She commands the player's Sim to build a cave where she tricks people into worshiping a statue of the Prime Heifer. She also demands the player's Sim to get her a mystic cowbell and a tube of "rotting eggplant" lipstick. She tries to bring the Prime Heifer into the physical world, but, after listening to Horus Menhoset IX, the player's Sim destroys the statue, which causes Ava to furiously leave the hotel and set the Penthouse on fire.

Trivia
