'''Lyla Grunt''' (née '''Vandermorgan''') is one of the pre-created, yet unplayable, [[Sim]]s featured in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' as ancestors of playable, pre-created Sims. Though deceased when the game begins, she appears in the family trees of playable Sims [[Tank Grunt]], [[Ripp Grunt]] and [[Buck Grunt]], who are her sons.
 +
'''Lyla Grunt''' {{nee|Vandermorgan}} is a pre-created deceased Sim in [[Strangetown]] in ''[[The Sims 2]]''. She is the mother of [[Tank Grunt]], [[Ripp Grunt]] and [[Buck Grunt]], and the ex-wife of [[General Buzz Grunt]]. She is the daughter of [[A.P. Vandermorgan]] and [[Jacqueline Vandermorgan]], both of Strangetown.
   
  ⚫
Lyla has the [[Romance]] [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspiration]] and her [[zodiac sign]] is [[Libra]]. Her main [[interest]]s include in paranormal, money and weather. Lyla also has a hidden [[Family (aspiration)|Family aspiration]] token. An image of Lyla in her [[elder]] stage can be found in her character file and can be seen using [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]]. Unlike most pre-made deceased Sims, Lyla was created at the same time as the rest of her family.
−
She resided, during her lifetime, in [[Strangetown]], one of the [[neighborhood]]s that ships with the game. She is the mother of Tank Grunt, Ripp Grunt and Buck Grunt. Her ex-husband is [[General Buzz Grunt]] and she is the daughter of [[A.P. Vandermorgan]] and [[Jacqueline Vandermorgan]], both of Strangetown.
  
   
  +
==Biography==
⚫
Lyla's [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspiration]] is [[Romance]] and her [[zodiac sign]] is [[Libra]]. She is [[interest]]ed in paranormal, money and weather. Lyla also has a hidden [[Family (aspiration)|Family aspiration]] token. When it comes to her appearance, she has tanned skin, dark blue eyes and blonde hair. She also wears a very elegant pink dress in her thumbnail, but her clothes and hairstyle in the image where she moves out of the [[Grunt]] house is different - she wears a blue sweat-shirt and brown trousers.
  
  +
===Life leading up to ''The Sims 2''===
  +
Before she died, she divorced from General Buzz and moved out. The reason they broke up is unknown, and Lyla's whereabouts after she moved out of the Grunt house is also not known. It appears that Lyla met [[Olive Specter]] at some point because Lyla mysteriously died in Olive's garden, where her grave can be found. Her ghost is that of a Sim who died of electrocution.
   
  +
Strangely, her family has no memories of her death. It is not clear if this is a developer oversight, or if the family was intended to be unaware of her death. With ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]'' or a later expansion, the player is able to move her grave to a different lot, which will give her sons a memory of her death. Olive illogically has a memory of Lyla dying long before her own son Nervous Subject was born, who is now an adult. This is inconsistent with the timeline of Lyla leaving her family after Buck Grunt grew up to be a child.
−
Before she died, she and General Buzz divorced, and Lyla moved out. The reason they divorced is unknown, and where Lyla went after she moved out of the Grunt house is also unknown. It appears that Lyla and [[Olive Specter]] knew each other because Lyla mysteriously died in Olive's garden, which is where her grave is located. Her ghost shows that she died of electrocution. Strangely, the family she left behind has no memories of her other than her divorce from General Buzz; they do not even have memories of her death. This suggests that she may have abandoned them and never kept in contact, or it may simply be an error on the part of the game developers. If ''[[Nightlife]]'' or later is installed, and the player moves her grave, then her family will get a memory of her death, which will let them realize that she is dead.
 
   
  ⚫
Before Lyla died, she was 36 days from being an elder, meaning that she may have used the Elixir of Life shortly after entering adulthood. According to [[SimPE|SimPe]], Lyla had unlinked relations with [[Creon Nigmos|Creon]] and [[Willow Nigmos]], [[Earl E. DeMise|Earl E.]] and [[Tim Lee DeMise]], [[Hugh Thanasia|Hugh]] [[Lou Thanasia|and Lou Thanasia]], [[Ichabod Specter]], [[Peponi Muenda|Peponi and]] [[Lerato Muenda]], as well as [[townie]] [[Bella Goth (Strangetown)|Bella Goth]].
−
When resurrected, Lyla's appearance will randomly change (including facial features), her clothing will be randomized as well as her hair style which will go bald after a few seconds because the game classifies the hair she has as "unused". She should be wearing the version with the tiara. This can be proven through [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]]. Changing her appearance at the mirror is not recommended, as it causes her appearance to look even glitchier.
  
   
  +
====Appearance====
−
There is an image of Lyla in her [[elder]] stage hidden in her character file. It can be found using [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]], but the reason it's there is unknown. Their faces are slightly different, and the skin tone is slightly darker than the normal, adult Lyla.
 
  +
Lyla's entire character file is in an outdated format, as a result her face is corrupted and her clothing in-game is randomized. Her corrupted appearance is genetic. If Lyla has more children after being resurrected, they will inherit her corrupted facial features. Changing her appearance with a mirror will make her appearance even more glitched.
   
  +
Lyla's true appearance features tanned skin, blonde hair and dark blue eyes, despite her original portrait displaying her with brown eyes. She also wears a very elegant pink dress in her thumbnail. However, as shown in the family album, her clothes and hairstyle when she moved out of the [[Grunt]] house are different - she wears a blue tank top and tan trousers. Her outfit data also contains another casual outfit; a red dress with boots and a long black coat.

An official [[Maxis]] [https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/F1ECEEF23BB111E980DD7E6A61392AEA recreation] of Lyla and her family was uploaded to the [[Gallery|''The Sims 4'' Gallery]] on February 28, 2019, marking the 19th anniversary of ''[[The Sims]]''. In this [[alternate universe|timeline]], Lyla is a playable ghost who died because she was poisoned. She is friends with all three of her sons, but her ex-husband Buzz is only an acquaintance. Unlike the remakes of the [[Newbie family]] and the [[Pleasant family]] on the Gallery, Lyla has several skill points in a variety of different areas. Despite being a ghost, Lyla's simology panel indicates that she will become an elder in 23 days.

Lyla Grunt (née Vandermorgan) is a pre-created deceased Sim in Strangetown in The Sims 2. She is the mother of Tank Grunt, Ripp Grunt and Buck Grunt, and the ex-wife of General Buzz Grunt. She is the daughter of A.P. Vandermorgan and Jacqueline Vandermorgan, both of Strangetown.

Lyla has the Romance aspiration and her zodiac sign is Libra. Her main interests include in paranormal, money and weather. Lyla also has a hidden Family aspiration token. An image of Lyla in her elder stage can be found in her character file and can be seen using SimPE. Unlike most pre-made deceased Sims, Lyla was created at the same time as the rest of her family.

Biography

Life leading up to The Sims 2

Before she died, she divorced from General Buzz and moved out. The reason they broke up is unknown, and Lyla's whereabouts after she moved out of the Grunt house is also not known. It appears that Lyla met Olive Specter at some point because Lyla mysteriously died in Olive's garden, where her grave can be found. Her ghost is that of a Sim who died of electrocution.

Strangely, her family has no memories of her death. It is not clear if this is a developer oversight, or if the family was intended to be unaware of her death. With The Sims 2: Nightlife or a later expansion, the player is able to move her grave to a different lot, which will give her sons a memory of her death. Olive illogically has a memory of Lyla dying long before her own son Nervous Subject was born, who is now an adult. This is inconsistent with the timeline of Lyla leaving her family after Buck Grunt grew up to be a child.

Before Lyla died, she was 36 days from being an elder, meaning that she may have used the Elixir of Life shortly after entering adulthood. According to SimPe, Lyla had unlinked relations with Creon and Willow Nigmos, Earl E. and Tim Lee DeMise, Hugh and Lou Thanasia, Ichabod Specter, Peponi and Lerato Muenda, as well as townie Bella Goth.

Appearance

Lyla's entire character file is in an outdated format, as a result her face is corrupted and her clothing in-game is randomized. Her corrupted appearance is genetic. If Lyla has more children after being resurrected, they will inherit her corrupted facial features. Changing her appearance with a mirror will make her appearance even more glitched.

Lyla's true appearance features tanned skin, blonde hair and dark blue eyes, despite her original portrait displaying her with brown eyes. She also wears a very elegant pink dress in her thumbnail. However, as shown in the family album, her clothes and hairstyle when she moved out of the Grunt house are different - she wears a blue tank top and tan trousers. Her outfit data also contains another casual outfit; a red dress with boots and a long black coat.
