Denise Jacquet (néeJeffress) is a pre-made playable Sim residing in Bluewater Village, the shopping district sub-neighborhood shipped with The Sims 2: Open for Business. She is the mother of Gilbert, and the widow of Yves. She is an elder, and wears a blue dress. She keeps close tabs on her son and his personal life. Her mother was Nicole Jeffress and her father was Sabastian Jeffress. Their family owns a bakery that she presumably started with her husband, but since his death, her son is running the business. When the family is first played, Denise will be 11 days away from dying of old age.
Denise has a decent amount of cookingskill, but not quite enough to be able to make cheesecake. She also has a Sales talent badge. It's presumed that she sold the food while her husband made it. Now that he has died, her part in the business is up to the player. Denise has no memories of her husband's death, and will at times roll the fear of catching her late husband cheating. If she performs a romantic interaction on another Sim, she will receive a memory of cheating on Yves. To fix this, bring Yves back to life and have him die of old age again.
Examining Denise's SimDNA in SimPE shows that her hair was red before it turned grey. If her appearance is extracted to BodyShop, her facial structure will be different. This is her genetic facial structure, if she somehow has more children, she will pass down this face instead of her visible one. When viewing Denise's character file in SimPE, her zodiac sign is not recognized.
