'''Isaac Rossum''' is a character in the [[The Sims 2 (PSP)|The Sims 2 for PSP]]. His first name is likely taken from [[wikipedia:Isaac Asimov|Isaac Asimov]], a prolific American science fiction author particularly known for his stories involving his [[wikipedia:Three Laws of Robotics|Three Laws of Robotics]], and his surname is most likely inspired by the Czech play [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.U.R. R.U.R.], or Rossum's Universal Robots, which coined the word 'robot'. Once you've entered his home, he will tell you about how his wife, [[Roberta Rossum]], has been "malfunctioning" lately, which is a bizarre term to use for a seemingly human person.

==Trivia==
Isaac is probably intended to be [[Will Wright]], the series' creator. His appearance resembles Wright's, and his secrets are all references to [[Maxis]] games (SimCopter, SimCity, and Spore) that Wright designed. This seems like a plausible deduction, considering his defensive dialogue in the game's ending when talked to about Newlow's claims.
