Liam O'Dourke

Liam O'Dourke is a pre-made Sim in Hidden Springs, where he lives by himself in a small house. He works in the science career as a Useless Contraption Manipulator. He has five logic and three gardening skill points, which is three points away from the required level for a promotion. He doesn't have a lifetime wish by default; this makes his lifetime wish randomized in each game.
His description mentions that he frequently reads, but he does not have the Bookworm trait.
Liam is friends with the "prince" of the town, Sebastian Vanderburg, as well as Ella Carlisle, and is acquainted with the "queen" of the town, Catarina Vanderburg. It is implied by his bio that he wishes to start a romance, but wonders "will he get enough time away from a book to do so?"
===Alternate versions===
Liam was originally made for promotional purposes and did not exist in the retail game until Hidden Springs was released. He is notably featured in "The Sims 3 AI" video, where it is claimed to be created by Grant Rodiek (Grant denies thisGrant Rodiek denies having created Liam O'Dourke). In the video, he meets a woman with glasses and pigtails at the Bistro and makes out with her in bed at a house party. This version of Liam can be downloaded along with roommates Kim Kent and Piper Hipp in the Kent household from The House that Grant Built. 
Liam also appears in the producer walkthrough for The Sims 3: Island Paradise as the "captain" of the S.S. Nardone. His clothing and hairstyle were changed for the walkthrough, but nothing else appears to be different about him. In the video, Liam mans the helm, attends a Sim's wedding, is attacked by the Kraken, and discovers an uncharted island.
