Darren Dreamer

Darren Dreamer is one of the pre-created, playable Sims that ships with The Sims 2 game. He and his son, teen Dirk Dreamer, reside in the Dreamer household in the neighborhood of Pleasantview. Darren is a widower - his wife, Darleen Dreamer is deceased before the game begins.

He's secretly and unrequitedly in love with his neighbor, and best friend, Cassandra Goth, but she is engaged to the town womanizer, Don Lothario, who he considers an enemy. In the game, Darren loves to paint and wants to be a full time artist. At one time, he had a job in the Business career track, but he quit around the time of Darleen's death. When first played, he has seven points of Creativity skill, and is 15 days away from becoming an elder.

In The Sims 3, there is a painting called "Misty Lighthouse", and the description contains a quote from "D. Dreamer." Darren would not have been born at this time, but it is possible that the name refers to Davis Dreamer or Dalmar Dreamer.

Trivia
