Lyla Grunt

Lyla Grunt (née Vandermorgan) is one of the pre-created, yet unplayable Sims featured in The Sims 2 as ancestors of playable, pre-created Sims. Though deceased when the game begins, you can see her in the relationship trees of playable Sims Tank Grunt, Ripp Grunt and Buck Grunt who are her sons and in the relationship tree of her ex-husband General Buzz Grunt.

She resided, during her lifetime, in Strangetown, one of the neighborhoods that ships with the game. She is the mother of Tank Grunt, Ripp Grunt and Buck Grunt. Her ex-husband is General Buzz Grunt and she is the daughter of A.P. Vandermorgan and Jacqueline Vandermorgan, both of Strangetown.

Lyla's aspiration is Romance and her zodiac sign is Libra. She is interested in the paranormal, money and weather. When it comes to her appearance, she has tanned skin, brown eyes and blond hair. She also wears very elegant pink dress in her profile picture but her clothes and hairstyle in the image where she moves out of the Grunt house is different - she wears blue sweat-shirt and brown trousers. Before she died, she and General Buzz divorced and Lyla moved out. The reason why they divorced is unknown and so is the place where Lyla lived after she moved out of the Grunt house. It looks like Lyla and Olive Specter know each other because Lyla mysteriously died in Olive's garden where her grave is located. Her ghost shows she died of electrocution. Strangely, the family she left behind has no memories of her death or anything else other than her divorce with General Buzz, suggesting that she had abandoned them and never kept in contact. It's not until you move her grave that some of her family finally realizes about her death, planting a memory in them.
