EA accidently deleted Bella Goth? Made a story for her after that?
EA did delete her. I think it was a stupid mistake.
Bellas diary from The Sims 3: As you know, 15 years ago I disappeared. A lot has changed in that time. Sims have come and gone, animals evolved to household pets, and for the first time Sims saw rain! But all the way through the changes I have been watching, watching from afar on those who were once close to me.I'm guessing the first question you want to know is where I’ve been? Speculation in Pleasantview is I was abducted by aliens. Technically I was, but I was not abducted. An old friend of mine, Pollination Tech#9 from Strangetown called up his alien friends from Simlog (another universe) to help me transport to Strangetown. This is where I would live on my own in a remote destination to get away from the drama in Pleasantview. A little basement under Pollination's home is where I have been staying, where I reminisce all day in my thoughts on what has happened and what could have been.
I know you’re desperate to know why I left! It all began when we moved to Pleasantview from Neighbourhood 1 - Sim Lane. As Mortimer got promoted to Top Secret Researcher, we needed to be closer to work. After a short time living in Pleasantview, Sims heard how wealthy Mortimer was becoming, and he was getting more and more attention from the Caliente sisters. They would come round unannounced, bring cake and flowers, and go Downtown when ever they had the opportunity, leaving me on my own with Cassandra. Mortimer became extremely close to Nina. He would call me and say he needed to work late, or go into work on his days off. We all knew where he really was. On several occasions we had the repossession man round due to unpaid bills. The reason for this was simple - Mortimer was buying cars for Dina and Nina and a house down Main Street, so they would be close by and spend more time with each other.I became lonely and my wants and needs were not being met, meaning the shrink was round more times then Mortimer ever was. At this point Cassandra decided to get engaged to Don Lothario, a wealthy man who I knew would make my daughter happy. Me and Don got on really well and quickly became the best of friends. Cassandra and Don often had an unsteady relationship, but after Don's traumatic past, Cassandra knew how important love and family was to him, so she decided to bring the wedding forward. She always wanted a fairy tale wedding and a man that always made her happy - right?
On the eve of the wedding, Cassandra went Downtown with her old school friends to celebrate her last night of freedom. I like always, played the piano when I was lonely and when Mortimer was 'working late'. During that time Don came round to see me. I invited him in and got us some cookies and juice. I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to make sure all the final preparations for the wedding were in place. We sat near where the wedding would take place in the back garden the following afternoon. Don was talking about how you should always be with the one you truly love and grab any opportunity you could to be with them (I recall he said the same thing to Dina... rumour has is). Knowing full well that this was not happening in mine and Mortimer's marriage, I turned and looked at Don and kissed him romantically. Seconds later I pulled away and run inside; knowing what I just done was a big mistake. Don ran after me shouting, "Bella! I, I, love you!” I stopped and looked at him with surprise. "What did you just say?" I said to him. "I love you Bella!" said Don. Before I could think about what he just said to me, he walked up to me and kissed me romantically. We then went upstairs to my room and... erm... woohooed.The front door slammed shut at around 2:30am that night. Mortimer and Cassandra were home as Cassandra called Mortimer to collect her as she had way too many bubbles Downtown. I panicked! We quickly got dressed and ran to the roof terrace and pretended to star gaze through the telescope. Mortimer and Cassandra came up to see us and tell us how their nights were. Cassandra asked us what we had been up to. "Nothing" I said bluntly with a slight glimpse of worry. Mortimer, Cassandra, and Don went down to the kitchen to make some espresso. I felt so guilty for what I done. I was lonely, upset, and I was lost in myself. All I could think about was the trouble there could be if anyone found out. This would never have happened if we stayed in Neighbourhood 1 - Sim Lane. Whilst I was still on my own, I herd a chime. The chime that is made when a Sim knows they are expecting a baby! At that precise point I knew I had to leave Pleasantview. I called Pollination Tech#9 to ask if he could help. Before I even said the words "I'll see you soon!" to him, I was abducted by aliens to go and take me to Strangetown.
So why didn't Cassandra marry Don I hear you say? After everyone noticed I had disappeared they all searched the house. Cassandra searched my room to see if I had taken any of my possessions. As she was looking around, something caught her eye. My green emerald necklace was on the floor next to the bed with one of Don's socks. This is why I was seen round Strangetown without a necklace. Cassandra instantly new that Don only took off his socks when he went to bed. But she was puzzled by the reason why my necklace was there. She knew I never took it off. Then she worked it out - she knew that we had woohooed whilst she was Downtown. She also realised why her I panicked and bluntly said that they hadn't been up to anything.The day of the wedding was a disaster. During the exchange of rings between Cassandra and Don, Cassandra refused to accept the ring. She announced to the family and the friends that were there about what me and Don done the previous night. Cassandra has a breakdown about her family splitting up and about the wedding being a disaster. At the same time as this drama was going on, the adoption service turned up. In the woman's arm was a newly born baby. The woman told Mortimer and Cassandra that the baby had a tag with its name, Alexander, and the precise address for where the baby should live, and the person the baby should be adopted by. From that point on, Mortimer burnt all my belongings and removed all memory of my existence. In the fireplace he placed a portrait of me, so when every time he lit the fire I would feel the pain and humiliation he was feeling.
From this day on, I have never shown my face in Pleasantview. I have settled well in Strangetown. I got new friends and my own little house. All that is missing is my beloved family. The story about why I had to leave Pleasantview has finally been told. I hope you understand why I left and that it was for the Goth's in the end. Good day everyone, dag dag!
I just think that the creators of The Sims wanted to add a little mystery to the game or to make a shocking twist to add excitement, so they came up with the Bella Goth story and chose her because the Goths are a well known and wealthy family. I also think the easter eggs are there for the same reasons. So yeah, I'm not big on conspiracy theories.
I think that Don and Nina made a plan to break up the Goths, have Nina marry Mortimer and Don marry Cassandra, then take all of their money and leave. Nina, however, already made a plan with Dina to betray Don, as they wanted all the money for themselves and called PT7 to abduct Don and since Bella was there as a witness, her too, so they could wipe her memory. Things went wrong, however, when they accidentally wiped Bella's whole memory instead of her memory of the alien abduction alone. With Bella's memory gone and everyone in Pleasantview believing she was missing, the aliens slightly changed Bella's appearance, so she would be harder to recognise and dumped her in strangetown, then tried to do the same with Don, with the help of Cassandra (who is Nina's aunt, so part alien, too) as the three of them all had planned on splitting up Bella and Mortimer in an attempt to get their money. However, wiping Don's memory didn't work, so they sent him back in time and laughed at him for losing. Now this part is just speculation, but Don might do something in The Sims 3, that changes history and stops everything that happened to Bella.
I believe that Bella was cloned after the alien abduction because they liked her that much, therefore creating the fake Bella who now resides in Strangetown. Obviously, you can tell they aren't the same because they look slightly different. The aliens didn't clone her to be 100% accurate. Now most Sims, after they're abducted by aliens, come back. But, I believe the spaceship crashed because near the Beaker house, you can see the messed up spaceship. So, she was murdered! But, I can't really tell because in Strangetown, Bella can be seen in the hot air balloon with a man wearing a blue shirt. It's really weird. She's also featured on a milk carton but people don't think it's her because of the hair color. It doesn't matter, you can't see it clearly.
Ok, I just think that Maxis created Bella, but accidentally deleted her, so they just made up the alien abduction story to cover it up.
Okay..I haven't figured out all of it- but heres what I think: Don and Nina must've had some plan figured out to take the Goth's money- by splitting up the family. Nina would take Mortimer who was basically almost dead therefore; she would inherit a great fortune to share with Don. To do this, they needed to get Bella out of the way, this is Don's part of the job. He needed to "woo" her and invite her over. He clearly failed trying to make out. Once she came around, he needed to get her abducted by aliens, this was easy thanks to the Caliente's relatives. Obviously the aliens needed to wipe her memory, as if she could remember it all- they would be exposed and the plan would be screwed. The aliens clearly had a crash landing in Strangetown- which explains that randthumb|left|300px|Missing Sims ~ The Bella Goth Story by melpeanut1om Bella walking around and the crash site.
First of all, Bella did not marry Mortimer for his money. If you've played TS1, you know that he is only a test subject, and earns about §150 a day and Bella had already married him. I believe that she was abducted by aliens on Don's deck, and when she was supposed to return, the spaceship crashed. (If you visit Strangetown, you can see a wrecked spaceship, close to the Beaker house). I also think that the Strangetown Bella is real, but the aliens were doing some sort of experiment on her, and somehow managed to erase her memory. Bella's facial structure has changed too, and there might have been more people on the spaceship...so everyone got the same facial structure and that's when the Hula Zombies came in. And that's kinda my theory.
I think Don was in touch with aliens through Dina and Nina. When Don tried to kiss Bella, he knew she would call Cassandra and tell her about it. He got Nina to get aliens to abduct her, but not without losing her as a love interest for he had to explain. He threatened her not to tell dina, so she moved to Barnacle Bay with her sister after a while. Cassandra and Mortimer came to look for Bella right as the spaceship got her, while Don was alseep. Nina would not remember for she was not there, she forgot all about it.
Out of nowhere, a Sim will stop what they are doing and start to leave their lot. If you check their actions it says 'Leave this world.' When they leave they don't return. Their picture remains in the family tree and the Sims who knew them will still retain a relationship with them. I think she left, EA games didn't try to get her back. They just left her picture and changed Mortimer, Cassandra and Alexander's memories to say she was abducted. Usually when Sims leave, other Sims in the household receive calls from them but never see them.
I found out recently that in Apartment Life, if Mortimer has died during your game, Bella will turn up to leave Alex off. As she's leaving him off, she is the real Bella. Now which Bella, the one found in Strangetown or the one found through hacks and mods in Pleasantview do you think looks more like the Bella at Alex's uni?File:Bella mystery.jpg I reckon it's the Pleasantview Bella, the one with Alex has a long, more pointed nose similiar to the Pleasantview one, which I think proves that the creaters accidentally deleted her and created the Strangetown one and the abduction as a cover up, its a very interesting story.
It's very weird, when I was playing The Sims 3, I wasn't playing with the Bachelors/Goths and they autonomously got married and gave birth to a baby named Alexandria. Although she's a girl, she still has a similar name to their second child, Alexander, in The Sims 2.
OK, my theory: Bella loved Don but Don didn't love Bella. Bella decided to go out to Don's place. "Mortimer! Goodbye! I am going to go meet Lothario at his home!" Bella yelled from the door. When Bella got there, Don had a devilish look on his face. "Come on, Belladonna." He said. "It's "Bella.""said Bella. Don took Bella up to his roof to look into his telescope. As a green light lit the sky, Don lifted a knife and jabbed Bella's back. An agonizingly painful feeling sprinted through Bella's heart. As Bella died, the green light revealed itself as an Alien Mothership. It sucked up Bella, revived her, Took her into space, and a giant meteor slammed into the mothership! The ship crash landed near Strangetown Crater, Bella came out with a scars on her face. She had lost all memory about her loved ones, and wandered Strangetown to greet neighbors.
My theory is that aliens abducted Bella on Nina and Dina's orders, and the aliens were instructed to drop her off in Strangetown, so that she and Mortimer could never be together again (Dina and Nina didn't want to kill her!) but, the alien spaceship crashed in Strangetown instead of landing there, and Bella died. The aliens, not wishing to anger the sisters and their family, created a 'new' Bella and placed her in Strangetown. This new Bella was different from the old one because they reconstructed a Sim in her likeness instead of cloning her. The sisters think she is the real Bella, and so does the game, because it says she is not dead. But sadly, I think she is.
Don and the Caliente sisters made a deal, Don would invite Bella to his house and tie her up, then the sisters would show up and take Bella to Strangetown together with Don and then return back to allow Dina to marry Mortimer. She would then be able to share her spouse's money with her sister and Don.
When I play the Goth household and try to resurrect Bella with the Tombstone of L&D, Bella only stays for a short while and then I am notified that, "Bella has died on another lot, she will return to the spirit of her death." She apparently died somewhere else, it just wasn't marked off in the family tree.
I can't believe it still remains unsolved, EA have revealed that, while in the editing stages of the game, one of the developers accidently deleted Bella, they then had to make a desicion on whether to leave Bella out because it would jeopardise the release date of the game. Instead, they chose to make a cover story and another Bella in Strangetown to help cover it up, it all fitted together and the Bella clone was deliberating created differently to make people curious. Personally, why did they have to make such a story, they could have removed her entirely, saying she was murdered by Don Lothario! That would have been better in my opinion.
The Pleasantview Bella, was in fact, abducted by aliens. It wasn't Don's doing, however. The Aliens needed a test subject and Bella was abducted by chance. The Goth family was distraught, especially Mortimer, as he had no idea what happened on Don's roof that night. The aliens eventually let Bella go, but only after the tests had altered her face slightly. They dropped her off in Strangetown, where no one could recognize her, because of its distance from Pleasantview. One of the aliens was Pollination Tech #9, he especially liked Bella and went down with her to make sure she was safe. However, on his way back to the rendezvous point, the spacecraft crashed and landed by the Beaker family's house. This spurred a supernatural interest in the family. Pollination Tech #9 started his own family after losing Bella. Bella, having no memory of who her family is or where she is, wanders the streets in hope that someone will help her figure out her story.
I think that it's simple: Don asked Bella to come to his house, she went there with Mortimer and Cassandra, he tried to make out with her, she refused, Don was mad, but didn't do anything, she saw the telescope, looked through it, aliens abducted her, but they thought Don was the one looking through the telescope, they abducted Bella but found out that she wasn't Don, since they only abduct males, they erased her memory so she wouldn't tell anybody about aliens, they left her in Strangetown incase she recovered her memory!
I think that when Don asked Bella to come over, he went downstairs to go to the bathroom, and the aliens were in the ship and had been waiting for Don to leave, and when they saw that he did, they decided it was time to abduct her. However, they didn't return her because on the way to Strangetown, they were passing the Beaker house and crashed. They had to walk to the lab, and while they were there examining her, they wiped her memory and performed plastic surgery on her face, so that you couldn't tell it was her.
I think that Don was trying to seduce her but he told her he had to go to the bathroom so the Beakers knew that it their chance to abduct her and the spaceship was their newest invention so when she got abducted, they went on their way to Strangetown and Circe brainwashed Bella and Loki was driving the spaceship. When they got near their house Loki was trying land the ship but he landed it wrong and it crashed. The crash recovered her memory and she ran away, lost, while the Beakers were still unconcious. They really wanted her for the experiment but after they were concious and Olive Specter lost Nervous, they found him and used him for their experiments ever since.
Ok... So what happened is that bella had noticed that mortimer was spending money on Nina and also cheating on bella with her and then bela went to don's house to see how the weding plans beentween him and bella's daughter was going when don said 'I love you, bella yet bella said no but yet they 'tryed for a baby' and then casendrea was walking in the door so bella and don got dressed quickly and pretended to stargaze! And then bella heard the chimes! bella was having a baby and to hide it she called her freind polliantion tech#9 to get ubducted at dons roof top so bella was ubducted and then was hidden in polliantion tech#9's blocked out basment!
It's obvious. Bella visited Don Lothario one night and rejected his advances (proving she loved Morty) and at some point looked through his telescope and got abducted. If you believe that the Bella Goth in Strangetown is meant to be the original, then you can infer she came from the crashed UFO in the town.
My theroy is that Don knew about the sisters coming and he wanted to hit on them, so he had Bella look through the telescope. As you can see in the pictures Bella looked through his telesope with him. Maybe one of his parent's were taken by the aliens, so he figured he could have Bella be taken as well.
I would side with the idea of Bella getting abducted at Don's, but ended up in Strangetown with the crashed UFO reckage. If applied with Einstin's theory of "Tome Dilation" like in Planet of the Apes, it may be possible that Strangetown time is different from Pleasantview's, and that time has passed without Bella aging and her family aged. Who know really? That's my thought about it...
My theory is that Don was in a relationship with both Cassandra, Nina and Dina. Mortimer was cheating on Bella, which she was aware of but didn't want to bring up the subject and risk having Mortimer leave her. Cassandra introduced Don to her family, and Don instantly fell for Bella. He knew that Mortimer was cheating on her, and proposed to Cassandra in order to get closer her and split them apart so he could be with Bella. However, Dina and Nina were in love with Don and upon hearing of his feelings for Bella, they decided to get her out of the picture and break off his relationship with Cassandra. They anonomously encouraged Don and Bella's relationship, planning on getting them to sleep together and show the evidence to Cassandra so she would break off their engagement. Don invited Bella around one night, where he showed her the stars through his telescope. He confessed his love to Bella and tried to kiss her, but she rejected him as she still loved Mortimer, despite his affair. Bella left and on the way home, she was abducted by Pollenation Tech 9, who Nina and Dina had hired to wipe her memory and place her in a far away town (as they didn't want to kill her). However, PT9's ship was hit by a meteor and crashed in Strangetown. PT9 survived the crash, but Bella was killed. Knowing that Nina and Dina would be angry, PT9 salvaged alien technology from the wreckage and cloned Bella. However, the damaged equipment caused Bella's features to be slightly changed. Stuck in Strangetown, Pollenation married Jenny Curious and started a family with her, all the while, he kept an eye on the fake Bella and made sure she never returned to Pleasantview. Meanwhile, in Pleasantview, Nina and Dina handed in the picture of Don and Bella stargazing into the police, which sparked the rumour that they were having an affair.
