 * Copied from last week's entry

Here's a battle that a lot of people probably have been waiting for.... Mortimer Goth versus Bella Goth; famous Sim versus famous Sim.

Mortimer Goth was raised in the old country before moving to the SimCity area when he was a boy. His parents, Gunther and Cornelia Goth, are incredibly wealthy, and Mortimer's all set to inherit that money when he grows up. He creates the Elixir of Life, but it backfires on him and ages him considerably. When his wife disappears, Dina Caliente is ready to ruin the family tree by using Mortimer as her personal piggy bank.

Bella Goth has a reputation of being beautiful and well-behaved, and is close friends with Mortimer. After they marry and have two kids, Bella pays Don Lothario a visit to welcome him to Pleasantview. Don attempts to get hot with Bella, which goes awry. Bella, apparently a bit salty, heads up to the roof of his condo to stargaze, where she mysteriously disappears. Some say aliens transported her to Strangetown. Some say she went to Littlehaven. Some say she never really left Pleasantview. Who knows? One thing's for sure — will she ever be reunited with her loving family before Dina and Don ruin the picture?

Which one of these two do you prefer? It's people like you that run our battles and determine the winner — vote now!

A Focus Article is an article that shows promise for high quality, but that is in significant need of improvement first. Each week, a new article will be the Focus Article. The following week, we'll recognize the different users that made improvements to the article.

Well, since no one edited last week's focus article, which was Dresser, I'm putting up again as the focus article this week. What was even more surprising was the fact that it was suggested by some users, and those users didn't edit the article they suggested. SMH

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, how are you liking The Sims 4 so far? 1-3 4-7 8-10
