Line 71:
The family makes its return in [[Midnight Hollow]], also from the store. A younger version of Olive lives with her still toddler son [[Nervous Subject]]. Her sister and parents are absent in this neighborhood, but three of her ex-husbands are already buried in her cemetery. [[Rigger Mortis]], [[Hugh Thanasia]] and [[Ichabod Specter]] all have their gravestones in Olive's lot in Midnight Hollow, although [[Earl E. DeMise]] is absent. It has been observed that the chronology of Olive's life is altered in Sims 3, as, according to her memories, Earl was her ''first'' partner, and Ichabod did not pass away until ''after'' Nervous had been taken by the social worker.
 
The final appearance of the Specter/Spector family is in [[Oasis Landing]] in the expansion pack ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]''. [[Planchette Spector]] is described as being the last of the Spector family. He lives in Oasis Landing with his [[Plumbot]], [[5P1R17]], whose serial number resembles the word 'spirit' in leet-speak. Planchette is also described as "an adventurous Sim who is desperate to open the door to the crashed ship. It's consumed his life and has nearly driven him to madness..." He is also said to have been returned from the dead.
 
Judging by the first and last names of some family members, the family may be of Greek and East African descent.
