Nylissit Tricou

Nylissit Tricou once lived Downtown with her extended family. She and the rest of her family have all died by the beginning of the Sims 2, and Nylissit is buried beside her husband at the Gothier Green Lawns.

Nylissit has memories and personality points, something uncommon to pre-deceased sims. Does this mean she was supposed to be playable?
