Recommended
For best results, Hadley should use a hairstyle available through the Sims 3 Shop. It came with a set for Open for Business nostalgia, and often goes by names like "OFB Curls."

Development
Hadley's file traces back to February 2nd of 2014, where she was introduced as a Sims3Pack file for purposes of bringing Sorbet play to players. The North Bond Hall re-creation would follow on June 21st of 2020, as a retro challenge to remake that build that was previously made successfully in The Sims 4. However, Sorbet gameplay is fairly weak, as not enough of Big Rapids has translated into Sims 3 to make Hadley and North Bond practical. To make matters worse, zombies in Supernatural don't pose much threat; and the game doesn't generate enough NPCs to truly create the feeling of Hadley's sense of terror.

For other games
For The Sims 4, Hadley's Sorbet story experience and subsequent story pack were absorbed into The Sims 4: Oughties Big Rapids Living Stuff, along with the Blood Over Water Story Pack's Sims 4 components.

While there has been some debate about a Far Cry 5 version of Hadley's adventure, no Arcade map has yet been made of North Bond - nor the rest of Big Rapids. Apart from PC mods, it would also be difficult to make the Deputy character model resemble Hadley, to complete the experience. Had Ubisoft known in advance about Sorbet, it's possible that Hadley's mission could have become one of the script pitches for Guy Marvel in the DLC pack Dead Living Zombies. Instead, a bad Romeo and Juliet knockoff dubbed "Undying Love" features in that pack.

Distribution
Hadley was offered on Utterly Sims on Tumblr in 2014, but taken down in 2015. She was then offered via DeviantArt. In June of 2020, however, she was moved to Dozerfleet Labs' blog on Blogger. Not long after she was put there, a Sims 3 render of North Bond Hall was added to complete the pack. This and the Blood Over Water pack combined are the closest thing to a proper Sims 3 version of Oughties Big Rapids Living Stuff.
