'''Riley Harlow''' is thea mainpre-made characterplayable in[[adult]] [[sim]] from [[Four Corners]], one of the [[neighborhood]]s shipped with ''[[The Sims Life Stories]]''. She is the protagonist of [[Riley's story]]. Having lost her job and facing eviction from her house in [[SimCity]], Riley arrived in the town of [[Four Corners]] to stay with her aunt [[Sharon Foss]]. Details of her early life before moving to Four Corners are largely left up to the player's imagination, but she does mention that she was both president of the chess club and captain of the football team at her high school. She also describes herself as a "certified ninja" at one point, a qualification that seems to be taken seriously, at least by Riley herself.

Riley mentions having eaten at a burger bar in [[Pleasantview]] on her way to Four Corners, suggesting that the game takes place in the same universe as ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and that the two [[neighborhood]]sneighborhoods are fairly close together. This would make sense, as Riley is stated to have just moved to Four Corners from [[SimCity]], and Pleasantview is believed to be a suburb of the city, meaning that she may well have had to pass through Pleasantview en route.

Riley also appears in the [[family bin]] of the [[Four Corners (Free Play)|Free Play]] version of the neighborhood. Even though she has brown hair, Riley's SimDNA in [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]] confirms that while her natural hair color is brownblonde in the FreeStory PlayMode version, ofwhile in the neighborhood,Free Play version her natural hair color is blonde in the story versionbrown.  She also has combedtweased eyebrows and light eyeliner in the FreeStory PlayMode version of the neighborhood, but tweasedcombed eyebrows and light eyeliner in the storyFree Play version of the neighborhood.

When Riley is directed to look for a job on the computer, only the [[Entertainment]] [[career]] will be available, no matter how many times she is directed to look again. A similar thing happens with [[Tank Grunt]] in ''The Sims 2'', who can only access the [[Military]] career when the [[Grunt family]] is first played. When Riley's household is first played, she will be 29 days away from becoming an [[elder]]. Her [[interest]]s in the Free Play version of the neighborhood are different from the ones she has in the story version.

After Aunt Sharon suddenly left on a business trip, Riley was welcomed by [[Mickey Smith]], [[Fiona Fortuna]], and [[Agora Tchotchke]]. The next day, she invited Mickey over, not knowing he would bring Agora with him. Riley tried to flirt with Mickey, and Agora got angry with her. She stormed off in a huff, leaving Mickey at Riley's house. Mickey called Riley the next day and asked her if she wanted to go to the[[List of Four Corners lots#Starlight Cafe and Market|Starlight Cafe and Market]], where they shared their first kiss, and became boyfriend and girlfriend. Later, Fiona called Riley saying that her ex-boyfriend from high school, [[Dylan Kincaid]], moved into Four Corners a few weeks before she did. He called Riley, and invited himself over to her house for dinner. They fell in love again, and Riley was conflicted about her feelings for Dylan and her [[relationship]] with Mickey. Riley invited Mickey to the[[List gymof Four Corners lots#Lead's Gym|Lead's Gym]], not knowing they would meet Dylan there. Mickey thought Riley was dating Dylan, and dumped her on the spot.
