Ericka Jayapalan is one of the pre-made gardeners in The Sims 2 who resides in Pleasantview and custom neighborhoods. The other two gardeners are Calista Despret and Leo Deppiesse. Ericka can be made playable by befriending and asking her to move in, or by marrying her. When she appears in custom neighborhoods, her personality, interests, and skills will be different from the ones she has in Pleasantview, seen below. Ericka has the same facial structure as Jessica Ebadi. Even though she has red hair, her natural color is actually black.
