Darleen Dreamer

Darleen Dreamer (née Matlapin) is one of the pre-created, yet unplayable sims featured in The Sims 2 as ancestors or deceased family members of playable, pre-created sims. Though deceased when the game begins, you can see her in the relationship trees of playable sims Darren Dreamer and Dirk Dreamer, who are her husband and son, respectively.

She resided, during her lifetime, in Pleasantview, one of the neighborhoods that ships with the game. She is the mother of teen Dirk Dreamer and her husband was Darren Dreamer, though she is deceased when the game begins and her husband and son live alone in the Dreamer household. She was the daughter of Omar Matlapin and Mariana Matlapin, both of Pleasantview.

Her grave is in the Dreamer's yard however it is possible to resurrect her. With the power or the Resurrect-O-Nomitron phone from The Sims 2: University you can get Darren or Dirk to bring her back to life. She also has an unused hair style. There is, though, another hair style that looks similar to it, and if Darleen is resurrected, she will automatically have this one. She will haunt the lot. Her ghost is red because she was burned to death.

The Two Darleen Dreamers
There are possibly two Darleen Dreamers, the real Darleen Dreamer has a Family aspiration while the fake Darleen Dreamer has the fortune aspiration. They look alike in some ways, but the fake Darleen Dreamer has a strapped shirt on and the real Darleen Dreamer has a purple over shirt on.

The only way you could tell the real from the fake is the real one has personality points while the fake one doesn't have any at all. And the real on has an in-game image so that how you can tell its the real one easily.

Leading up to the Sims 3...

Darleen Dreamer (Matlapin) does not appear in the base game but, a player over at the sims 3 website called Sim3Rich has created all the missing families or has redone some, to make them more how they were in the Sims 2. They do appear younger and with their parents because of the Sims 3 being for the Sims 1.
