Specter family

The Specter family, later known as Spector, consists of Olive Specter and her niece Ophelia Nigmos, in The Sims 2. Olive also has a son, Nervous Subject. He was taken away from her as a child, for reasons which still remain unknown, and lives with the Beaker Family. His father is believed to be the Grim Reaper, although there is no father shown in his family tree. When Olive dies, her inheritance goes to Nervous, instead of going to Ophelia, the expected heir.

When the family is first played, it is around 6:30 pm on Tuesday, two days before Ophelia will become an adult, and two days before Olive is scheduled to die. While Tuesday is a bill-delivery day, there are no bills in the mailbox.

Olive Specter and her deceased sister, Willow Nigmos, were children of Lerato Muenda and Peponi Muenda.

Olive's memories show she was left at the altar when she was an adult, and the man who left her at the altar, Earl E. DeMise, died shortly afterwards. She married many times after that, and all of her other husbands met an early end, as well. She was also the witness to several NPC deaths, and their graves remain on her lot. Their ghosts wreak havoc on the yard, causing many puddles and weeds to appear, showing that the ghosts are angry.

Ophelia Nigmos is the daughter of the deceased Creon and Willow Nigmos. She was sent to live with Olive after their deaths. Olive and Ophelia's address is 13 Dead End Lane.

In The Sims 3, a descendant of the family, named Noela Spector, lives in Lunar Lakes. It is unknown what type of connection she had to the family. By this time, the family's name spelling has been changed from Specter to Spector. Also, considering Olive is the only Sim alive holding the "Specter" surname in The Sims 2, the only possible way for the family to expand would be to make Olive have another child in her elder stage, which is not possible in normal gameplay.
