Mysteries in The Sims series

There are many mysteries in The Sims series. Here is a overview of them.

Bella's Disappearance
Bella disappeared sometimes in the 25 years between The Sims and The Sims 2. Her disappearance is never fully explained. She is said to lastly be seen at Don Lothorio's home. The Caliente sisters arrived in the eve of her disappearance. Many believe she was abducted by aliens and taken to Strangetown, or never returned home but is still in SimNation. There is no obvious reason to her disappearance hinted in her childhood, or 25 years before the start of The Sims 2. A woman, who is highly likely to be Bella, can be seen with a man in a stripped suit in a hot air balloon in any neighborhood it is placed. This is likely only a easter egg.

Olive Is A Killer
The garden behind Olive Specter's house is filled with dead people. They range from NPC's to her many husbands. Some believe that she may have fallen in love with the Grim Reaper, and killed Sims so that she can see him more. She may have also killed some Sims out of anger or revenge. The ex-wife of Buzz Grunt, who she dislikes, is buried in her backyard, and Earl E. DeMise died shortly after leaving her at the alter.

Don In Riverview
Don appears in Riverview. His bio states "Don woke up one morning in a whole new world. He remembers stepping onto a teleporter, several women laughing, then nothing else until he found himself here..." "Here" refers to an old granary, abandoned for years and waiting for nature to demolish it, that is, until Don showed up. Don's bio reads "Don Lothario was facing a big choice between marriage and continuing to be a man about town. Will his "accidental" teleportation to a new town change his old ways?" It's possible that the laughing women are (some of) his lovers, though that is unconfirmed. The marriage was a highly likely to Casandra Goth, as the two are engaged at the start of The Sims 2. Its also interesting to note that there are both Teleportation pads and Time Machines in The Sims 3, and the fact that Don looks like he did in The Sims 2, meaning that in the 50 years between the two games, a cross-over between the two may have been invented.

Caliente Sisters In Barnacle Bay
Both the Caliente sisters appear in Barnacle Bay. Since there is a 50 year difference between The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, and they look the same, this is impossible. They have also changed a bit, Dina is more of a gold-digger than a heart breaker in The Sims 2. What's even more odd is that her sister has the mooch trait, but she doesn't, even though she had the Fortune aspiration in The Sims 2, so it looks like that Nina has Dina's personality from The Sims 2, though Nina still has her romantic tendencies, and Dina has her sister's personality. Hot-headed is also off the mark, as the original Dina had moderately nice personality points, and thus would usually respond positively to social interactions. Nina has the Super Popular Lifetime Wish in The Sims 3. This is somewhat odd, as it doesn't match the Romance aspiration she had in The Sims 2, though the Flirty trait does give her romantic tendencies. There is only one explanation to them appearing in Barnacle Bay, which is that they moved from Pleasantview. Further proof of this is Nina starts out with 10 skill points in Charisma and she starts The Sims 2 with no Charisma skill. Finally, possibly the largest piece of proof, is Dina's bio, which states: ''The Sims 2 Sisters are back! Can Dina break hearts in Barnacle Bay like she did in Pleasantview? She wants to find out.''

Two Skip's
In Brandi's memories there are two Skip Brokes, but which one is real and which is not is quite debatable because one Skip appears in the family photo album, while the other one appears in the relationship tree - and is also resurrectable. However, the Skip that appears in the family photo album is not resurrectable, which means he is unplayable, unlike the resurrectable and playable Skip.

Many players believe that the one Skip may have killed the other, and then died shortly after. This is unconfirmed. It is unknown but highly unlikely that it has any storyline significance, but it is still a open ended mystery.
