Bella Goth (Strangetown)

Maxis created a likeness of Bella Goth and used it as a townie in Strangetown. This version is a little different than the Pleasantview Bella, but is acknowledged by Maxis as the same Bella. The fact that the Bella in Strangetown has no memories of her loved ones or past life is simply blamed on alien experiments during her abduction.

Some players prefer to play the Bella Goth in Strangetown and consider her to be the real Bella because she has no connection to Pleasantview and is not tied with the Goth/Bachelor family tree, which lends credence to the theory that the alien experiments left her mind wiped. However, if a person were to look at her memories, they will see that she has Create-A-Sim memories and that the Bella Goth from Pleasantview has her own, unique memories consistent with her backstory (e.g. marrying Mortimer and giving birth to Cassandra and Alexander). This has led many players to believe that the Strangetown Bella is a fake.
