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.

Family
Olive shares her eerie, haunted home with her sister's daughter. Her sister, Willow Nigmos and husband, Creon Nigmos are both deceased; their deaths the result of Drowning. She is the daughter of Lerato Muenda and Peponi Muenda, both also of Strangetown, who both perished as a result of Fire. 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. Since the deaths began after she was left at the altar, some players believe she started going crazy after having her heart broken.

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 multiple Sims to be able to meet the Reaper again, since he only appears when someone dies.

Olive also 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. Everyone expects Olive's money to be inherited by Ophelia following her death, but, surprisingly, the wad of cash is inherited by Olive's son, Nervous Subject, who was taken by child services when he was younger and adopted by Circe and Loki Beaker.

She dislikes General Buzz Grunt, whose ex-wife died on Olive's lot soon after leaving the Grunt household.

Olive's memory connections
If one studies the chronology of Olive's memories, it is apparent that she gave birth to her son Nervous after she had aged into an elder. Olive did WooHoo with the Grim Reaper after she became an elder. If one believes the theory that Grim Reaper is Nervous's father, that would mean that Olive got pregnant after she became an elder.

Olive's graveyard
Olive's graveyard is full of dead Sims. Many of them have names that are euphemisms for death (Euthanasia, Early Demise, Rigor Mortis, etc.) There are many theories about Olive, and many unknown questions. How did all these people die in Olive's lot? Many believe she is a serial killer, and kill to see her love, Grim, but many other speculate that the people just died there. A very few think perhaps before the game was in stores many Sims died. Here are some theories. Her surname, Specter, is also related to death, as a specter is the ghost of a person

Name Origin
Olive's name might be a play on the phrase "I love Specter" possibly showing her love of the Grim Reaper.
