Melody Tinker

personality
Melody Tinker is one of the pre-created Sims that was shipped with The Sims 2: Open for Business. It's hinted that she was to take over the family toyshop, but apparently she has other plans. Some have suggested she will be an artist. While that is up to the player, she does start with five points in the creativity skill, though she has no other skills.

She is a public school student, and has a C average. When the player first loads the family, she is fourteen days away from becoming an adult.

Like her parents, she is very neat, and not too outgoing. Unlike them, she is not very playful, which may be one reason she doesn't want to run a toy shop. Another possible reason is hinted at in the family album, which shows a toddler, presumably young Melody, being frightened by an evil Clown-in-a-Box. While being frightened by an evil Clown-in-a-Box is considered a negative memory, she does not have a memory of this. However, she has no other childhood memories, either.

She wants to get into private school, and get a job either in the Science career or the Medical career. If Seasons is installed, she may want to get a job in the Adventurer career. She also wants to get her first kiss. Since the Artist career track from University has no teen/elder track, she will not have a want to enter that career, though she can enter it if she goes to college.

Even though both of her parents have dark blue eyes, Melody has brown eyes. It may be due to a recessive gene passed down from an earlier generation, but that theory is unlikely in The Sims 2.

Melody has an invisible pregnancy modifier token, which means she has a high likelyhood of having twins.
