Forum:Kaylynn Langerak's Memories

You may know that Kaylynn Langerak never had proper memories in The Sims 2, because the developers never bothered to give her any memories, due to being a standard NPC Maid.

When the game developers created Kaylynn, it seems unlikely they knew that they'd be giving her more recognition, as a Romance buddy for Daniel Pleasant and Don Lothario.


 * Kaylynn uses one of the default Maxis face templates in Create a Sim - Face Template 16 "Archeeng".
 * Her first and last name were drawn from the list of EA and Maxis staff that helped to make the Sims 2.
 * She has no pre-set biography.
 * She has no pre-set memories, minus the CAS ones she sometimes gets after she is spawned in-game.
 * She has no gender preference.
 * Her pre-set fitness level is "thin". When viewed in SimPE, her fitness level is "5.0", midway between top "0.0" and bottom "10.0" fitness, the same as pre-made townies and other regular NPCs.
 * She has no family ties.
 * She might not even have been made by the developers, but randomly generated by the game itself.
 * This might even be the case of most the other pre-made townies and NPCs. Then the developers might have given Kaylynn some makeup to make her stand out as a prominent NPC.
 * Tellingly, this is also the case of Cassidy Pederson, yet she has no pre-set relationships with pre-made playable Sims.

I suspect the reason they decided to include Kaylynn as a playable character in The Sims 3 is due to the fact that they hadn't done so in The Sims 2. They probably wanted to give her more recognition than just an NPC maid from the Sims 2 who was romantically involved with Daniel and Don.

I was wondering about the memories that Kaylynn Langerak might have had in the Sims 2, had the developers made and released the Sims 3 first.
