Riley Harlow: Difference between revisions

'''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.

Even though she has brown hair, Riley's SimDNA in [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]] confirms that while her natural hair color is brown in the [[Four Corners (Free Play)|Free Play]] version of the neighborhood (in which she also appears), her natural hair color is blonde in the storyStory Mode version. She also has combed eyebrows and light eyeliner in the Free Play version of the neighborhood, but tweased eyebrows and eyeliner in the storyStory Mode version.

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 storyStory Mode version.
