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, the player can see her in the family trees of playable Sims Darren and Dirk Dreamer, who are her husband and teenaged son, respectively. She is playable in The Sims 3, where she appears in the downloadable neighborhood of Lucky Palms.
During her adult years, Darleen resided in Pleasantview, one of the neighborhoods that ships with the game. She was the daughter of Omar Matlapin and Mariana Matlapin, both of Pleasantview.
Darren and Dirk still live in the family's house at 195 Main Street in Pleasantview, and her grave is the back yard. Her ghost haunts the lot, but it is possible to resurrect her. With the power of the Resurrect-O-Nomitron phone from The Sims 2: University or the Genie from Freetime, players can get Darren or Dirk to bring her back to life. If this is done, Darleen will return with a blank personality. She shares her face with Glabe Curious , Lola Singles , Chloe Singles , Willow Nigmos , Lyla Grunt and Cordelia Capp .
The two Darleens
There are possibly two Darleen Dreamers. One of them, the "hidden" Darleen seems to have been made only for the purpose of appearing in the story album, and it is not possible to resurrect her. The other is the Darleen who has family relationships with the Dreamers, and who can be resurrected. They look alike in some ways, but the unresurrectable Darleen Dreamer wears a white floral sundress, and has an unused hairstyle, while the resurrectable Darleen Dreamer wears a purple overshirt. It is impossible to know which one is 'real' and which one is the 'fake', but it seems that they were made for different purposes.
