The '''Specter family''' (or '''Spector''' in [[Lunar Lakes]]) consists of [[Olive Specter]] and her niece [[Ophelia Nigmos]], in ''[[The Sims 2]]''. Olive also has a son, [[Nervous Subject]]. He was taken away from her as a child, for reasons which still remain unknown, and lives with the [[Beaker Family]]. His father is believed to be the [[Grim Reaper]], although there is no father shown in his family tree. When Olive dies, her [[inheritance]] goes to Nervous, instead of going to Ophelia, the expected heir.<ref>Since inheritance in ''The Sims 2'' is separate from family funds, the family funds will pass to Ophelia as long as she is living on the lot when Olive dies.</ref>


When the family is first played, it is around 6:30 pm on Tuesday, two days before Ophelia will become an adult, and two days before Olive is scheduled to die. While Tuesday is a [[bill]]-delivery day, there are no bills in the mailbox.

Olive Specter and her deceased sister, [[Willow Nigmos]], were children of [[Lerato Muenda]] and [[Peponi Muenda]].
Olive Specter and her deceased sister, [[Willow Nigmos]], were children of [[Lerato Muenda]] and [[Peponi Muenda]].


Olive seems to have a dark past. Her memories show she was left at the altar when she was an adult, and afterwards, the man who left her at the altar, [[Earl E. DeMise]], well... met his early demise. She married many times after that, and all of her other husbands met an early end, as well. She was also the witness to several NPC deaths, and their graves remain on her lot. Their ghosts wreak havoc on the yard, causing many puddles and weeds to appear, showing that the ghosts are obviously angry. It is assumed (and hinted at heavily in the game itself) that she is a mass murderer.

In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', a descendant of the family, named [[Noela Spector]], lives in the [[TheSims3.com|store]] world [[Lunar Lakes]]. It is unknown what type of connection she had to the family. By this time, the family's name spelling has been changed from Spect''e''r to Spect''o''r. Also, considering Olive is the only Sim alive holding the "Specter" surname in ''The Sims 2'', the only possible way for the family to expand would be to make Olive have another child in her elder stage, which is possible via adoption. Or to give Nervous the last name ''Specter'' with hacks, such as [[SimPE]].
== Family Tree ==


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.
== Player Stories ==
* In my game Ophelia grows up and moves out and Olive meets a Social Worker. Social Worker moves in, Marries Malcolm Landgraab IV and becomes Social Worker Landgraab IV. Olive dies, adding another grave to the back yard.


Judging by the first and last names of some family members, the family may be of Greek and East African descent.
*In my game Bella Goth appears and warns them all of an impending alien invasion. Only a few listen and moved to the top secret military base in Strangetown. The Aliens killed all but a few sims and now they live in the ruined Strangetown with Bella Olive Ophelia Johnny and the Beakers.


{{FamilyPage
* In my game I aged Olive down and she married General Buzz. She killed him and I thought she was pregnant but she was infertile.
|etymology = '''Specter''' ghost, or something that haunts the mind
*'''Olive''': The olive tree. It is speculated that it is a pun on "o-live" in 'alive specter (ghost)'.


*'''Ichabod''' (Olive's third husband): Hebrew for 'without honor'. Could refer to the character Ichabod of Sleepy Hollow.
* After Ophelia heads off to college with her boyfriend, Olive is reunited with her son Nervous. She then takes revenge on Circe, Loki, and the Social Worker by drowning, food poisoning, and starving them.


*'''Planchette''' (An unlinked descendant of the Spector/Specter family): A planchette is the name of a piece of wood designed to hold a pencil, used in séances to communicate with the spirits of the dead.
* Olive died right after Ophelia went off to college at La Fiesta Tech. Her inheritence all went to Nervous. Ophelia got married to Johnny Smith. They live in Olive's old house. They have one son who is a toddler. He has his dad's green skin, but has his mom's green eyes.


'''Rigger Mortis''' (Olive's first husband): 'Rigger' means to rig or dresses, while 'Mortis' refers to the French word 'mort', which means death. Rigor Mortis is a state in which a corpse's limbs become stiff and difficult to move.
*A few days before her death Olive started a killing spree. She killed the newsgirl, the mailman, a maid, the pizza boy, the exterminator, the nanny, and General Buzz Grunt. She locked them all in a little room and starved them. I created the Simmy family and had them leave their toddler Ada with Oli before moving out. Olive abused the toddler and the social worker came. Olive killed the social worker as revenge for taking Nervous away all those years ago. After her death and Ophelia's growing-upping, I moved all the graves to the newly created community lot Strangetown Cemetery. Creon and Willow Nigmos, however, stayed and now watch over their daughter as she lives in the old Specter house with her husband Johnny, their adopted daughter Christy, who is a child, and their twin boy and girl babies named after Ophelia's parents, Creon and Willow.


'''Hugh Thanasia''' (Olive's second husband): From the word 'Euthanasia', means literally "good death" in Ancient Greek. Refers to the practice of ending a life in a painless manner.
* When I play that house. EVERYTIME everyone dies. Olive dies in the yard. The place is a mess with ghost juice. Then Ophelia gets married and pregnant then she drops dead. I played it many different ways had her marry different people but every time she died. Oh well....


'''Lou Thanasia''' (Hugh's brother): A shortening of the given name Louis. Louis means "Famed Warrior." Sounds similar to Hugh Thanasia, so could also mean "good death."
* Olive lived a good life and was taken away by Hula Zombies and her (HUSBAND!) the Grim Reaper, i dont know if her money went to Nervous... It goes to Alphous who i created as a baby(he's a teenager now) via Tombstone of L and D and Ophelia, i placed Olive's grave next to Ichabod's but i didnt block the chair, i started making a replica of the Olive family in one of the custom lots i downloaded off the internet called Glacial Lands. Anyway, after Olives death, i got Ophelia married to Johnny and made them do WooHoo. Ophelia's pregnant now but i dont know if she may murder Johnny...


'''Earl E. DeMise''' (Olive's fiancé): Means "Early Demise", early death.
* Well after Olive retired from her job and Ophelia's first dream date with Johnny Olive died. Olive left her inheritence to Nervous. Ophelia moved away from the house since, she was afriad of the gohst's. She moved in with Johnny in there own house. They git married and have a kids. A daughter named Maria. A son named Quan. And they are having soon to come. Maria is like their child prodigy. No joking! She has maxed out her logic at the Toddle. Almost maxed out Creativity at Toddler, she finally maxed out it at Child. Maxed out Body at child. She's trying to mxed out Cleaning as we speak. She's very talented she already sold a masterpiece. She has first sit in the precussion in school. She's a striaght A+ student! I'd say she's helping her family very greatly. Her brother will do the same soon.


'''Tim Lee DeMise''' (Earl's brother): Perhaps could refer to "Timely Demise" - "timely death."
==Theories==


'''Nigmos''' -- Possibly taken from "enigma" - a mysterious occurrence, also means "a confusing character or person", which could possibly refer to Olive herself.
*Okay, so everyone thinks Olive is a serial killer, right? She may well be. Get ready to listen hard...


*'''Ophelia''' (Olive's niece): In Ancient Greek, it means "help." May also refer to the Shakespeare character Ophelia from "Hamlet," who went mad and drowned herself.
Olive seems to be a right villian. Lets start at the beginning of the problems... It seems she was left at the altar by Earl.E DeMise, who did exactly that. She probably wanted revenge. to be contineud when I get back from my hols! Crazyrowanting

*Olive got killed by Loki Beaker(by starvation) and then he killed himself.Ophelia married Johnny Smith and they have baby paternal twins.
*'''Willow''' (Ophelia's mother, Olive's sister): Refers to the Willow Tree. May also refer to willow as a word meaning erode as "willowing away"
*I think Olive did not have Nervous with the Grim Reaper, I think she had it with.
[[category:premade families]]
*'''Creon''' (Ophelia's father): In Greek, means 'ruler'. Also is in [[wikipedia:Oedipus Rex|Oedipus Rex]] a character named [[wikipedia:Creon|Creon]]. Many of his relatives died: his grandnephews in duel; his brother-in-law was murdered by Oedipus; his son, daughter-in-law and sister by suicide and he himself is murdered by [[wikipedia:Lycus of Euboea|Lycus]].

The Specter family (or Spector in Lunar Lakes) consists of Olive Specter and her niece Ophelia Nigmos, in The Sims 2. Olive also has a son, Nervous Subject. He was taken away from her as a child, for reasons which still remain unknown, and lives with the Beaker Family. His father is believed to be the Grim Reaper, although there is no father shown in his family tree. When Olive dies, her inheritance goes to Nervous, instead of going to Ophelia, the expected heir.[1]

When the family is first played, it is around 6:30 pm on Tuesday, two days before Ophelia will become an adult, and two days before Olive is scheduled to die. While Tuesday is a bill-delivery day, there are no bills in the mailbox.

Olive Specter and her deceased sister, Willow Nigmos, were children of Lerato Muenda and Peponi Muenda.

Olive's memories show she was left at the altar when she was an adult, and the man who left her at the altar, Earl E. DeMise, died shortly afterwards. She married many times after that, and all of her other husbands met an early end, as well. She was also the witness to several NPC deaths, and their graves remain on her lot. Their ghosts wreak havoc on the yard, causing many puddles and weeds to appear, showing that the ghosts are angry.

Ophelia Nigmos is the daughter of the deceased Creon and Willow Nigmos. She was sent to live with Olive after their deaths. Olive and Ophelia's address is 13 Dead End Lane.

In The Sims 3, a descendant of the family, named Noela Spector, lives in the store world Lunar Lakes. It is unknown what type of connection she had to the family. By this time, the family's name spelling has been changed from Specter to Spector. Also, considering Olive is the only Sim alive holding the "Specter" surname in The Sims 2, the only possible way for the family to expand would be to make Olive have another child in her elder stage, which is possible via adoption. Or to give Nervous the last name Specter with hacks, such as SimPE.

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.
