The family in The Sims 2 consists of aspiring artist Darren Dreamer, and his son, Dirk. Darren and Dirk live at 195 Main Street in Pleasantview. Darren's wife Darleen is deceased, and her grave is on their lot. The family is low on money, with only §968 in funds, and three sets of overdue bills to pay. Also, Darren wants to win Cassandra Goth's heart and get married to her, but is Don Lothario standing in his way? This family has a theme of having names with the initials D.D., even among most of the ancestors.
