Judith Peynter

Judith Peynter is a Sim that appeared as one of the citizens to choose in SimCity 4. In The Sims Livin' Large, a painting named "Judith Peynter - Self Portrait" with a description that goes like this; "Late 17th century. Peynter was both praised and loathed by contemporary critical opinion. She was seen as dangerous because she was a woman exercising a creative ability thought to be exclusively male. These fears proved well founded when she took the lives of two particularly avid critics, as well as her own, in a leap to their deaths from a castle tower". In The Sims 2, it seems that her descendant, Olive Peynter, followed her footsteps as a painter, and is mentioned in one of the paintings from the base game.
