'''Bella Goth''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|b|ɛ|l|ə|_|ɡ|ɒ|θ}}) {{nee|Bachelor}} is one of the pre-made [[Sim]]s shipped with ''[[The Sims]]'' game, in which she lives with her husband, [[Mortimer Goth]], and her daughter, [[Cassandra Goth]]. Between ''[[The Sims]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2]]'', Bella and [[Mortimer Goth|Mortimer]] had one more child, [[Alexander Goth]]. She also had an elder brother named [[Michael Bachelor]].

==Biography==
 
  +
===Life leading up to The Sims 3===
there is no way a bee
 
  +
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', Bella starts as a child (7 days to teen) who lives with her mother, [[Jocasta Bachelor]], father, [[Simis Bachelor]], and older brother, Michael Bachelor. Because she is still a child, she goes by her maiden name of Bachelor. She wears a red dress because this is her favorite color. Oddly, she has hazel eyes, even though she has brown eyes in ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2''. When she grows up, she looks different from the adult versions of her from ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2''; her lips are thinner and her eyes are much bigger. Bella and Mortimer Goth are best friends. Her traits are [[Good (The Sims 3)|good]], [[brave]] and [[lucky]]. She attends elementary school and is a good student. She is also slightly gothic, which is evidenced by her room and playroom being decorated with skulls, which may hint at why she married Mortimer, and also at her interest in the paranormal. She has one point of the [[painting]] skill. There is sometimes a glitch where her thumbnail, picture in relationship panels, and picture in wishes appear with her as a child, similar to Mortimer Goth. Bella has a good relationship with her family. She is said to be 'well-behaved' and the best dressed girl around.

  +
Worlds in ''The Sims 3'' are believed to be placed in different parts the main timeline, and it has since been confirmed by SimGuruSarah that the [[Bella Goth (Lunar Lakes)|Bella Goth]] in Lunar Lakes graveyard is the same Bella from Pleasantview and Strangetown.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SimGuruSarah/status/436179978724450304 SimGuruSarah confirmed that Lunar Lakes Bella is Sunset Valley Bella]</ref> Thus by the time of Lunar Lakes, Bella is dead. Her appearance (with her yellow hair, gaunt face and greenish skin) is very different in this town than in previous towns, but it is in line with other deceased Sims buried in the Lunar Lakes cemetery. How or when she got to Lunar Lakes remains unconfirmed, as is whether or not she ever reunited with her family after her alien abduction.

===Life leading up to The Sims Bustin' Out===
 
  +
In ''[[The Sims Bustin' Out (console)|The Sims Bustin' Out]]'', Bella Goth lives with her husband Mortimer Goth in Goth Manor. Her daughter Cassandra Goth may or may not have been born yet. She works as a Horror Movie Extra in the Movie Star Career and likes to play the piano and read when she's not working. Her favorite interactions are telling stories and nagging about friends. She has a completely different personality in this game than in the others.
The bee, of course, flies anyway
 
   
  +
===Life leading up to The Sims (console)===
 
  +
Bella Goth appears in [[The Sims (console)|''The Sims'' (console)]] version with her husband Mortimer Goth and daughter Cassandra Goth living in 5 [[Sim Avenue]]. She still wears the same red dress and shoes, and has black hair. She shares a 90+ relationship with her husband and a 20+ relationship with her daughter. She likes to read, play chess, feed fish and mourn at the tombstones. Her brother [[Michael Bachelor]] is in the [[Family Bin]] as a playable character. However, their relationship is not stated, and Michael remains a separate character from her line of the family.

===Life leading up to The Sims===
 
  +
Bella Goth, her husband, Mortimer Goth, and her daughter, Cassandra Goth, are first introduced in ''[[The Sims]]''. She is an elegant, yet athletic, woman who seems to enjoy playing golf. Her activities when played will either be painting or playing the piano, which gives credibility to the theory that she may also be a very creative and talented person. She also has quite a high interest in the paranormal.

===Life leading up to The Sims 2===
 
  +
By the time the storyline has caught up to ''[[The Sims 2]]'', Bella has had another child, [[Alexander Goth]], and has disappeared via [[alien abduction]]. It is then also revealed that Bella is Michael Bachelor's sister. She does exist in [[Pleasantview]], but is hidden within the game code and can only be found using cheats or third-party programs. Bella's disappearance is a major component to the background story of Pleasantview and it's theorized that Maxis picked her for this major role because she is a mysterious, yet elegant, woman. Her last known whereabouts are [[Don Lothario]]'s deck, and Don's photo album and memory panel show that he had attempted some romantic interactions with Bella, which she didn't accept, before she mysteriously disappeared. Many of [[Mortimer Goth|Mortimer]]'s, [[Cassandra Goth|Cassandra]]'s, and Alexander's memories involve Bella, meaning that she hasn't been gone for too long. On the family tree panel, Bella's face is not grey, which indicates that the game does not consider her to be dead. Although her husband and daughter have memories of her being abducted by aliens, the story does not explicitly state what happened to Bella. Oddly enough, most of the furniture was left untouched after she left. If a Sim uses the [[Career rewards#Prints Charming Fingerprint Scanner|fingerprint scanner]], much of the furniture was touched by her. [[Maxis]] created a likeness of [[Bella Goth (Strangetown)|Bella]] 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. Strangetown Bella's career is randomized at the start of the game, whereas the Pleasantview Bella, if brought back, has no personality points, career and no premade memories, and she cannot be played without the use of hacks such as [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]]. Another odd detail is that, if Bella is brought back, Mortimer's relationship with her will be that of acquaintances rather than spouses. The reason for this is because the developers did not set the correct relationship flags.
Ooh, black and yellow!
 
Let's shake it up a little.
 
   
  +
<blockquote class="note">Relationship flags such as Crush, Love, and Married are normally unset when a Sim dies, and reset when that Sim is resurrected. It may simply be that the methods needed to bring Bella back do not reset these flags, or that they were not set when Maxis created Bella and Mortimer for The Sims 2.</blockquote>
 
Barry! Breakfast is ready!
 
   
  +
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 to the [[Goth family|Goth]] and [[Bachelor family]] trees, which lends credence to the theory that the alien experiments left her mind wiped. A further area worth looking into is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7CIJ60Ri18 the cinematic] when Alexander Goth goes off to [[College (sub-neighborhood)|university]]. If Mortimer is already deceased, the scene that the player sees before they enter the university features a regular Bella as Alexander's mother and she is sobbing about the loss of her son as he is grown up, but still remains missing afterwards. On ''[[The Sims 2]]'' website, there is an interview<ref name="interview">[https://web.archive.org/web/20120605015012/http://thesims2.ea.com/community/bella_interview.php Interview with Bella Goth] on theSims2.com (web archive)</ref> that explains her disappearance, saying that she is the same person as Strangetown Bella Goth. Another odd fact is that she is seen looking through a ''small'' telescope on Don Lothario's deck, even though it is impossible to get abducted through this telescope in normal gameplay. This might be a mistake overlooked by the creators to show good story-telling pictures for the neighborhood.
 
Ooming!
 
   
  +
===Life leading up to The Sims 2 (PSP)===
 
  +
By the time the storyline has caught up to the PSP game, Bella is hiding from aliens in [[Strangetown]]. She still doesn't remember her family and likes chocolate. According to [[Mambo Loa]], Bella is not good at keeping secrets. She is looking to sell her home (the [[Espiritu Estate]]) which she despises a lot because it is haunted by three scary ghosts ([[Emily Emory]], [[Nervous Subject]], and Dennis Philips, one of [[Hazel Dente]]'s previous husbands). She sells her home for all the money that the player has.

Bella's secrets from ''[[The Sims 2 (PSP)]]'':
 
Hello?
 
   
  +
#(Personal): Bella married for money... but stayed for free premium cable!
 
  +
#(Intimate): Bella never REALLY loved Mortimer... she married him for his money.
- Barry?
 
  +
#(Dark): Bella knows Kung Fu. A man named Kung Fu. He does all her landscaping. Nice guy.
- Adam?
 
  +
#(Bella's Alien Secret): Bella is running away because she was abducted by aliens!
   
  +
===Life leading up to The Sims Social===
 
  +
Bella first appeared in a short interview promotion for the Facebook app ''[[The Sims Social]]''. The interview confirms her abduction from ''[[The Sims 2]]''. 'Ask the developer' thread in ''The Sims Social'' forum also stated it.<ref>[http://forum.playfish.com/showthread.php?t=2826789/ The Sims Social "Ask a developer!" Questions Answered! - Playfish/EA Community]</ref> Bella had in fact mysteriously reappeared in [[Littlehaven]], a new city where Bella lived, set after ''The Sims 2'' and Strangetown events, and it was her helpful neighbor Buddy who had found her. It appeared she had absolutely no memory of what had happened to her since the night of her abduction—a whole chunk of her life was missing. As friends and family told her of how she had disappeared, Bella was determined to get answers and set off in search of the UFOs—and her memories, in which she was good at it, too. Bella uncovered and met many an alien, mastering detective skills that Foxy Boulder would have been proud of. But alas, though she had successfully interviewed many aliens, they were not the ones who had abducted her. Each visitor pointed to another, and Bella followed the leads for many months.
- Oan you believe this is happening?
 
- I can't. I'll pick you up.
 
   
  +
Eventually, after becoming exhausted following rumors and gossip, she settled for hypnotherapy in order to rediscover the hidden mysteries of her mind. Apart from uncovering numerous past life experiences, Bella did manage to recover her memories of the abduction. Pleased with the success of the therapy, she diligently wrote down in her journal for safekeeping—should she be abducted again and be made forget. She plans to publish her notes someday, though she hasn't announced any dates.
 
Looking sharp.
 
   
  +
Bella may secretly hope to meet her UFOs acquaintances someday, but has since made peace with the fact that she's made lots of new friends in Littlehaven.
 
Use the stairs. Your father
 
paid good money for those.
 
   
  +
She likes Chinese food (especially sweet and sour), would like to be a Fashion Buyer or a Mystery Customer for luxury spa resorts, and would like to visit [[Champs Les Sims|The Eiffel Tower]] and The Taj Mahal. Her personality is socialite, and her career is chef. In the game, she is the tutorial Sim and the first neighbor the players' Sim meets. She is single and lives alone. She wears her signature red dress, red shoes, long black hair and has tan skin. The limit relationship with Bella is friendship; the player cannot become good friends or best friends with her nor fall in love or go steady with her. However, the player can perform romantic interactions with her.
 
Sorry. I'm excited.
 
   
  +
===Life leading up to The Sims Mobile===
 
  +
In ''[[The Sims Mobile]]'', Bella appears in this game to help the player to perform various tasks as part of the tutorial. It is possible to build a relationship with her.
Here's the graduate.

===Life leading up to The Sims 4===
 
  +
Prior to the game's release, Bella appeared in a number of promotional materials, beginning with an [[Easter Egg]] in the first official trailer. She and Mortimer were later included as renders and in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZmtGfTj-to ''The Sims 4'': Create A Sim Official Gameplay trailer], looking slightly different than in the final release.
A perfect report card, all B's.
 
   
  +
In the game, Bella lives in [[Willow Creek]] in the [[Ophelia Villa]] with her husband, Mortimer, and their two children, Cassandra and Alexander. This version of Bella Goth has been officially confirmed as existing in an alternate timeline to those seen in previous installments of the series.
 
Very proud.
 
   
  +
''The Sims 4'' version of Bella is a young adult, 24 days away from becoming an adult. She has the Party Animal aspiration and works in the [[secret agent]] career as an intelligence researcher, and has two skill points each in [[charisma]], [[Fitness (skill)|fitness]], and [[programming]]. She is friends with her daughter and son, and sweethearts with Mortimer. She has no relationships outside of her household when first played.
 
Ma! I got a thing going here.
 
   
  +
In the trailer, Bella is shown to have three [[Trait (The Sims 4)|traits]], which are romantic, outgoing, and active. She's also shown to have an aspiration of Friend to the World, and a gregarious benefit. This version of her can be downloaded from the gallery, by SimGuruJill. The in-game version of her, however, has slightly different traits and aspiration: She is good, family-oriented and romantic, and has the Party Animal aspiration, but still has the gregarious benefit.

==Reuniting the Goths==
 
  +
{{Main|Game guide:Reuniting the Goths}}
Barry, I told you,
 
  +
A few people around the Internet have suggested many ways in order to get the Pleasantview Bella back. One way is to use the [[boolProp testingcheatsenabled]] and spawn the [[Tombstone of Life and Death]] to add Bella to the Goth family. Another is to use the [[inSimenator]] to summon Bella, improve her relationship to Mortimer, and set her as his spouse and resurrect her. However, she has the [[I Am Dead Token]] which will cause her to die. This can be removed using [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]].
stop flying in the house!
 
   
  +
When using [[boolProp testingcheatsenabled]], Bella will be fine on the lot, but if the player leaves the lot and then return, the game will show her as having a ghost texture. The player will be able to control her for around a minute and then she will disappear. After this, a message will appear saying 'Bella has died on another lot.'
 
- Hey, Adam.
 
- Hey, Barry.
 
   
  +
Befriending the [[Bella Goth (Strangetown)|Bella Goth]] in Strangetown and moving her into a lot and then making her find her own place is a way to play Bella Goth, but only in Strangetown. Moving the lot to the [[Lots and Houses bin]] and then moving her into Pleasantview will cause [[Game guide:Avoiding corruption|problems]] in both neighborhoods.
 
- Is that fuzz gel?
 
- A little. Special day, graduation.

Her ''Bustin' Out'' biography states: ''Her name in Italian means "beautiful" and it fits her better than her red leather corset. Descended from a long line of occultists, mystics and decadents, she has thrown convention to the wind. Her disdain for the pedestrian and normal is only matched by her sense of ennui and isolation. She distracts herself from this world with a little organ practice and exotic gardenings of the lethal variety.''
Never thought I'd make it.
 
   
  +
Bella Goth is perhaps one of the most well known Sims. She appeared in ''[[The Sims Bustin' Out (console)|The Sims Bustin' Out]]'' along with her husband [[Mortimer Goth|Mortimer]], she was in the TV family in ''[[The Sims 2 (GBA)|The Sims 2]]'' for Game Boy Advance, she appeared in ''[[The Sims 2 (PSP)|The Sims 2]]'' for PlayStation Portable, and she appeared in ''[[Wikipedia:SimCity 4|SimCity 4]]''. According to her quotes in ''[[Wikipedia:SimGolf|SimGolf]]'' (which she made an appearance as the download-able golfer, along with her family), she is very nice, an excellent neighbor, a little vain, compares bad things to Mortimer's foul moods and compares her family members to her shots (such as a Bella shot is too easy, a Mortimer shot is too difficult, and a Cassandra shot is impossible). She was also regularly featured on the cover for ''The Sims'' and its expansions.

*'''Two Men, A Woman, and One Monkey:''' Bella, along with her husband Mortimer Goth, neighbor [[Bob Newbie]] and a monkey starred in the aforementioned show according to a poster in ''[[The Sims: Superstar]]''. "''In this hilarious and light-hearted TV series, two men, a woman, and one monkey were randomly picked from a pool of contestants to share a house for one month. Follow them through the good times and the hard times as they try to live their lives with their new house-mates.''"

*'''Bella Squared:''' Bella Squared is a portrait of Bella Goth that can be hung in a Sims' houses. Allegedly, if in Strangetown, the player hangs the Bella Squared portrait in the house, the [[Bella Goth (Strangetown)|Strangetown Bella Goth]] will eventually show up.
  +
*'''Marketing Print by Seph Eia:''' If the player has the highest graphic quality set (allowing them to see portraits clearly), they will see that the last two portraits in the marketing print are of Bella Goth.
  +
*'''Pianist:''' On SimStation Dance, some people say the pianist in the R&B song music video is Bella Goth. This woman has the same face, skin tone, outfit, and hairstyle as Bella, but with brown hair and glasses.
  +
*'''Milk:''' A "missing persons" photo of Bella Goth can be seen on the milk carton when Sims make cereal in ''The Sims 2''. In ''The Sims 3'', this is the [[Tragic Clown]].
  +
*'''Hot Air Balloon:''' A little graphic that looks a lot like Bella Goth can be seen inside of the hot air balloon's basket with DreamBoat. Some people say that the Sims in question are Don and Blonde Bombshell.
  +
*'''Belladonna Cove Statue:''' Easily the most conspicuous Easter egg, there is a very tall, golden statue of Bella holding a platinum plumbbob that ships with the ''[[The Sims 2:Apartment Life]]'' expansion pack.
  +
*'''Broken Bella and Mortimer snow globe:''' One of the many hidden files found and posted on [http://linna.modthesims.info/download.php?t=121353 ModTheSims].[[File:Broken snow.jpg|thumb|The broken Bella & Mortimer snow globe.]]
  +
*'''Fireplace:''' In the [[Goth family]] album, there is a picture of Cassandra and a modern looking fireplace. In another picture, the player can see Don kissing Cassandra, but the fireplace is changed to the most expensive one. Looking at the textures of the modern looking fireplace, there is a picture of Bella.
  +
*'''Music:''' There is a song under the Jazz section on the radio titled "[[:File:Ts2 Good Evening Bella.ogg|Good Evening Bella]]".
  +
*'''Photograph''': When blackmailing another Sim, there is a very pixelated image of a figure wearing a red corset.
  +
*'''Old Age''': When a Sim dies of old age, a [[Hula Zombie]] will appear with the [[Grim Reaper]]. It looks like Bella Goth.
  +
*'''Bella Squared Record: '''If you look at the DJ booth, on the left-hand side where there are a stack of records arranged horizontally in a cage, rearrange the camera so it is looking at the one facing out from the booth, it will be a picture of the Bella Squared painting.
  +
*'''Prestidigitator:''' In the [[entertainment]] career track, the 10th level job's description says something about making Bella appear in smoke.
  +
*'''Game Designer''': In the [[gamer]] career at level 10, the [[chance card]] refers to designing a game in which a couple is to be broken up. The choices are between having one member be abducted by aliens, or thinking of something else. If the player chooses the first option and gets a positive outcome, the text alludes to the Bella-was-abducted storyline, and the commercial success of ''The Sims 2''.
  +
*Also in ''[[The Sims 2 Castaway]]'' for Nintendo DS, if the player builds the best house it will say "Only the Bella Goths of the island live here"
  +
*'''Fridge''': There is a fridge in ''[[The Sims 2 (PSP)]]'' that is called The Chow Bella Fridge (although this can also be a reference to the Italian phrase "Ciao Bella").
  +
*'''Custom Painting''': When player paints a custom painting, there are premade paintings of Bella Goth and the Goth Manor shipped with ''[[FreeTime]]''. These premade paintings have ideal size for Architecture Drafting Table.
  +

  +
===The Sims 3===
 
  +
*'''Cover:''' Bella appears on the cover of ''The Sims 3''.
- Hi, Barry.
 
  +
*'''Book:''' A book called "Where's Bella?" in the Sim's bookcase. A common theory is that this is The Sims equivalent of "Where's Waldo?" (or, in the UK, "Where's Wally?") There is also a book titled "Murder in Pleasantview" by Alexander Goth (though it could not be the as-yet-unborn [[Alexander Goth|Alexander]] from ''The Sims 2 ''unless time travel is involved), which could hint at an explanation of Bella's disappearance between ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2'', given that [[alien abduction]] is not present in ''The Sims 3'' base game.
- Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.
 
  +
*'''Collectibles:''' Sims can collect space rocks called "Unusual Bellacite" after analyzing them.
  +
*'''Bookcase:''' There is a picture on the bookcase of what appears to be Bella from ''The Sims 2''.
  +
*'''Already Retro CD Display Shelving:''' On top of the CD display shelves, there is a movie with a picture of Bella from The Sims 1.
  +
[[File:Already_retro_bella.jpg|thumb|Bella on The CD display Shelf]]
  +
*'''Donation:''' If a Sim has the Good trait, one of the charities they can donate to is Bella Beneficiary.
  +
*'''Private Investigator: '''If a Sim is snooping for clues, they will remark, "This reminds me of when Bella went missing... I need to keep looking." However, since the game is set 50 years before the adult Bella disappeared, this makes little sense unless it's a reference to "Where's Bella?"
  +
*'''Sketch:''' When a Sim is sketching at the drafting table, they can sketch a black-and-white picture of Bella from The Sims 2, in her signature gown.
  +
*'''[[:File:Painting small 4-5.png|Painting]]:''' When a Sim paints a small painting, one possible picture they can create is of Bella, wearing her signature red dress and with her back turned, near Cassandra, who is in the white shirt and blue pants she wears in ''The Sims''. They appear to be among gravestones (which makes sense for the Goth family), although it is hard to be sure because the picture is painted and texturized. A large painting, which is the one above Mortimer's bed in ''The Sims 2'', can also be painted. Another large painting includes a couple on a balcony, The man wears a suit and the woman wears an elegant red dress, which indicates that they could be Mortimer and Bella.
  +
*'''Wallpaper:''' There's a wallpaper called "Bella Gothic Wallpaper" in ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]''.
  +
*'''Gravestone in Lunar Lakes: '''In the downloadable town, Lunar Lakes, there is a gravestone of [[Bella Goth (Lunar Lakes)|Bella Goth]] on it. This version of Bella died of old age and can be resurrected. However, once resurrected, she looks somewhat different from the [[Sunset Valley]] Bella, with a zombie-like appearance (just like every other dead sim in Lunar Lakes).
  +
[[File:Bella in dimensional gate adventure.jpg|thumb|The message of dimensional gate adventure mentioning Bella, where the player has to make a choice]]
  +
*'''PlasmaPunch Gyroscopic Conductor—Dimensional Gate Upgrade''': When adventuring using the dimensional gate on [[Dance sphere#PlasmaPunch Gyroscopic Conductor|PlasmaPunch Gyroscopic Conductor]], Sims might encounter the following message:
  +
<blockquote class="note">After a while of travelling through a stone dungeon, (Sim name) comes upon a giant green gem statue of Empress Bella Goth sitting atop a golden throne. At its base are a series of symbols that (Sim name) has never seen before. Upon further inspection, (Sim name) notices that inside the statue there is a key to the only door in the room. The only way out is to recover that key.</blockquote>
  +
:Furthermore, the players might receive the following messages randomly as the adventure progresses:
  +
<blockquote class="note">While sneaking through a ruined city, (Sim name) nearly walked into a group of aliens. Standing just out of view (Sim name) watched as they bowed before a mysterious looking Sim and chanted "Bella" in hushed monotone voices.</blockquote>
   
  +
<blockquote class="note">At the end of his / her journey, (Sim name) found himself / herself in a crystal and gem paradise where he / she saw a fleeting reflection of Bella Goth as the dimensional gate faded away. That last glimpse that (Sim name) saw will always remind him / her that Bella is still out there...somewhere.</blockquote>
 
  +
*'''Blackfyre Gothic Backdrop''': A large prop in ''[[The Sims 3: Showtime]]'' is described to be a backdrop based on Bella's nightmares.
- Hear about Frankie?
 
  +
[[File:Golden_Woman.png|thumb|100px]]
- Yeah.
 
  +
*'''Golden Woman of Prosperity:''' In 2009, [[TheSims3.com|''The Sims 3'' Store]] released a limited edition painting in a collection called "[https://store.thesims3.com/setsProductDetails.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:19501 In Dawn of the Sims]". The painting pictures Bella in the style of Gustav Klimt's "Woman in Gold". The description is "If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, then gold must be a girl's best acquaintance. This painting exudes such gold richness, you may consider going to a gold trading website and exchange the painting for cash."
  +
*'''Double Frame Photo:''' Holds a photo of two different Sims from ''The Sims 2''; one is Bella and other is a blonde male child.
   
  +
===The Sims 4===
 
  +
*'''Piano''': In the ''Romantic'' and ''Classical'' menus (from '''Play Song...'''), there is a song named 'For Bella'. This could be any Bella, but as Bella Goth is probably the best known Bella in the whole of The Sims series, this probably points towards her. It may also be a reference to the famous composition "[[wikipedia:Für Elise|Für Elise]]" (For Elise) composed by Ludwig van Beethoven.
- You going to the funeral?
 
- No, I'm not going.
 
   
  +
==Trivia==
 
  +
*''The Sims 3'' is the only game to have her last name as '''Bachelor''' as opposed to '''Goth''' [[The Sims|in]] [[The Sims Bustin' Out (console)|the]] [[The Sims 2|other]] [[The Sims 4|games]] since [[Sunset Valley]] was set before ''The Sims''. It is also the only game where she doesn't live with Mortimer as well as being a child whereas in other games, she's an adult{{vgversion|TS}}{{vgversion|TSC}}{{vgversion|TS:BO}}{{vgversion|TS2}} or a young adult{{vgversion|TS4}}.
Everybody knows,
 
  +
**It is possible to change her last name back to Goth through the city hall, brain enhancing machine{{vgversion|TS3:UL}}, or by having Mortimer propose to her when they are older.
sting someone, you die.
 
  +
*Bella's secret in ''The Sims 2'' for PSP states that she doesn't really love Mortimer and only married him for his money.<ref>It is to note only Fortune Sims in ''The Sims 2'' who are unmarried (e.g., [[Dina Caliente]]) get a want to marry a rich Sim. Furthermore, Bella's Aspiration is Romance, not Fortune.</ref> There is some debate as to whether this is true in the main series canon: certainly, Bella has no romantic attachment to Mortimer in ''The Sims 2'' or ''The Sims 3'', since in the latter case she is a child and too young to have romantic relationships, and in the former case she is a hidden character for story purposes and has no relationship values with her family. However, Bella is married to ''and'' in love with Mortimer in ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 4''.
  +
*In ''The Sims 2'', when opening her Sim DNA, the page will appear blank.
  +
*According to [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]], she is 29 days from being an [[elder]] in ''The Sims 2''. Though it seems to be implied in ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 4'' that Bella is much younger than Mortimer contrary to ''The Sims 3'' timeline where they are the same age,<!-- MORTIMER AND BELLA BOTH HAVE 7 DAYS LEFT BEFORE AGING UP IN THE SIMS 3, WHICH MAKES THEM THE SAME AGE. DO NOT CHANGE THIS INFORMATION AS IT IS CORRECT. --><ref>With story progression enabled, it is possible that Mortimer or Bella may age up a day before the other does. But by default they are the exact same age which can be proven by visiting their respective households after starting a clean neighborhood.</ref> she should be closer to becoming an elder at the start of the game. This may be because Bella was never intended to be playable, so they never bothered to set her age.
  +
**This makes her younger than her daughter Cassandra, who is 26 days from becoming an elder.
  +
**Conversely, her [[Bella Goth (Strangetown)|Strangetown equivalent]] is 28 days from becoming an elder.
  +
*Bella is arguably one of the most recognizable sims in the series. Due to this, there appears to be another sim based off of her, [[Stella Roth]].
  +
*Even though Bella is thin in ''The Sims 2'', her fitness bar indicates that she is supposed to be fit.
  +
*According to her interview, Bella disappeared in the summer of 2004.<ref name="interview" />
  +
*Bella has never appeared as an elder by default in any of the Sims games.
  +
*In ''The Sims Medieval'', there is an easter egg where if the player scries far enough into the future, it'll say "''There is a women in a red dress, opps{{sic|?}}, someone just peed themselves nearby''" or similar.

Students, faculty, distinguished bees,
 
 
 
please welcome Dean Buzzwell.
 
 
 
Welcome, New Hive Oity
 
graduating class of...
 
 
 
...9:15.
 
 
 
That concludes our ceremonies.
 
 
 
And begins your career
 
at Honex Industries!
 
 
 
Will we pick ourjob today?
 
 
 
I heard it's just orientation.
 
 
 
Heads up! Here we go.
 
 
 
Keep your hands and antennas
 
inside the tram at all times.
 
 
 
- Wonder what it'll be like?
 
- A little scary.
 
 
 
Welcome to Honex,
 
a division of Honesco
 
 
 
and a part of the Hexagon Group.
 
 
 
This is it!
 
 
 
Wow.
 
 
 
Wow.
 
 
 
We know that you, as a bee,
 
have worked your whole life
 
 
 
to get to the point where you
 
can work for your whole life.
 
 
 
Honey begins when our valiant Pollen
 
Jocks bring the nectar to the hive.
 
 
 
Our top-secret formula
 
 
 
is automatically color-corrected,
 
scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured
 
 
 
into this soothing sweet syrup
 
 
 
with its distinctive
 
golden glow you know as...
 
 
 
Honey!
 
 
 
- That girl was hot.
 
- She's my cousin!
 
 
 
- She is?
 
- Yes, we're all cousins.
 
 
 
- Right. You're right.
 
- At Honex, we constantly strive
 
 
 
to improve every aspect
 
of bee existence.
 
 
 
These bees are stress-testing
 
a new helmet technology.
 
 
 
- What do you think he makes?
 
- Not enough.
 
 
 
Here we have our latest advancement,
 
the Krelman.
 
 
 
- What does that do?
 
- Oatches that little strand of honey
 
 
 
that hangs after you pour it.
 
Saves us millions.
 
 
 
Oan anyone work on the Krelman?
 
 
 
Of course. Most bee jobs are
 
small ones. But bees know
 
 
 
that every small job,
 
if it's done well, means a lot.
 
 
 
But choose carefully
 
 
 
because you'll stay in the job
 
you pick for the rest of your life.
 
 
 
The same job the rest of your life?
 
I didn't know that.
 
 
 
What's the difference?
 
 
 
You'll be happy to know that bees,
 
as a species, haven't had one day off
 
 
 
in 27 million years.
 
 
 
So you'll just work us to death?
 
 
 
We'll sure try.
 
 
 
Wow! That blew my mind!
 
 
 
"What's the difference?"
 
How can you say that?
 
 
 
One job forever?
 
That's an insane choice to have to make.
 
 
 
I'm relieved. Now we only have
 
to make one decision in life.
 
 
 
But, Adam, how could they
 
never have told us that?
 
 
 
Why would you question anything?
 
We're bees.
 
 
 
We're the most perfectly
 
functioning society on Earth.
 
 
 
You ever think maybe things
 
work a little too well here?
 
 
 
Like what? Give me one example.
 
 
 
I don't know. But you know
 
what I'm talking about.
 
 
 
Please clear the gate.
 
Royal Nectar Force on approach.
 
 
 
Wait a second. Oheck it out.
 
 
 
- Hey, those are Pollen Jocks!
 
- Wow.
 
 
 
I've never seen them this close.
 
 
 
They know what it's like
 
outside the hive.
 
 
 
Yeah, but some don't come back.
 
 
 
- Hey, Jocks!
 
- Hi, Jocks!
 
 
 
You guys did great!
 
 
 
You're monsters!
 
You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it!
 
 
 
- I wonder where they were.
 
- I don't know.
 
 
 
Their day's not planned.
 
 
 
Outside the hive, flying who knows
 
where, doing who knows what.
 
 
 
You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen
 
Jock. You have to be bred for that.
 
 
 
Right.
 
 
 
Look. That's more pollen
 
than you and I will see in a lifetime.
 
 
 
It's just a status symbol.
 
Bees make too much of it.
 
 
 
Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it
 
and the ladies see you wearing it.
 
 
 
Those ladies?
 
Aren't they our cousins too?
 
 
 
Distant. Distant.
 
 
 
Look at these two.
 
 
 
- Oouple of Hive Harrys.
 
- Let's have fun with them.
 
 
 
It must be dangerous
 
being a Pollen Jock.
 
 
 
Yeah. Once a bear pinned me
 
against a mushroom!
 
 
 
He had a paw on my throat,
 
and with the other, he was slapping me!
 
 
 
- Oh, my!
 
- I never thought I'd knock him out.
 
 
 
What were you doing during this?
 
 
 
Trying to alert the authorities.
 
 
 
I can autograph that.
 
 
 
A little gusty out there today,
 
wasn't it, comrades?
 
 
 
Yeah. Gusty.
 
 
 
We're hitting a sunflower patch
 
six miles from here tomorrow.
 
 
 
- Six miles, huh?
 
- Barry!
 
 
 
A puddle jump for us,
 
but maybe you're not up for it.
 
 
 
- Maybe I am.
 
- You are not!
 
 
 
We're going 0900 at J-Gate.
 
 
 
What do you think, buzzy-boy?
 
Are you bee enough?
 
 
 
I might be. It all depends
 
on what 0900 means.
 
 
 
Hey, Honex!
 
 
 
Dad, you surprised me.
 
 
 
You decide what you're interested in?
 
 
 
- Well, there's a lot of choices.
 
- But you only get one.
 
 
 
Do you ever get bored
 
doing the same job every day?
 
 
 
Son, let me tell you about stirring.
 
 
 
You grab that stick, and you just
 
move it around, and you stir it around.
 
 
 
You get yourself into a rhythm.
 
It's a beautiful thing.
 
 
 
You know, Dad,
 
the more I think about it,
 
 
 
maybe the honey field
 
just isn't right for me.
 
 
 
You were thinking of what,
 
making balloon animals?
 
 
 
That's a bad job
 
for a guy with a stinger.
 
 
 
Janet, your son's not sure
 
he wants to go into honey!
 
 
 
- Barry, you are so funny sometimes.
 
- I'm not trying to be funny.
 
 
 
You're not funny! You're going
 
into honey. Our son, the stirrer!
 
 
 
- You're gonna be a stirrer?
 
- No one's listening to me!
 
 
 
Wait till you see the sticks I have.
 
 
 
I could say anything right now.
 
I'm gonna get an ant tattoo!
 
 
 
Let's open some honey and celebrate!
 
 
 
Maybe I'll pierce my thorax.
 
Shave my antennae.
 
 
 
Shack up with a grasshopper. Get
 
a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"!
 
 
 
I'm so proud.
 
 
 
- We're starting work today!
 
- Today's the day.
 
 
 
Oome on! All the good jobs
 
will be gone.
 
 
 
Yeah, right.
 
 
 
Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring,
 
stirrer, front desk, hair removal...
 
 
 
- Is it still available?
 
- Hang on. Two left!
 
 
 
One of them's yours! Oongratulations!
 
Step to the side.
 
 
 
- What'd you get?
 
- Picking crud out. Stellar!
 
 
 
Wow!
 
 
 
Oouple of newbies?
 
 
 
Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready!
 
 
 
Make your choice.
 
 
 
- You want to go first?
 
- No, you go.
 
 
 
Oh, my. What's available?
 
 
 
Restroom attendant's open,
 
not for the reason you think.
 
 
 
- Any chance of getting the Krelman?
 
- Sure, you're on.
 
 
 
I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out.
 
 
 
Wax monkey's always open.
 
 
 
The Krelman opened up again.
 
 
 
What happened?
 
 
 
A bee died. Makes an opening. See?
 
He's dead. Another dead one.
 
 
 
Deady. Deadified. Two more dead.
 
 
 
Dead from the neck up.
 
Dead from the neck down. That's life!
 
 
 
Oh, this is so hard!
 
 
 
Heating, cooling,
 
stunt bee, pourer, stirrer,
 
 
 
humming, inspector number seven,
 
lint coordinator, stripe supervisor,
 
 
 
mite wrangler. Barry, what
 
do you think I should... Barry?
 
 
 
Barry!
 
 
 
All right, we've got the sunflower patch
 
in quadrant nine...
 
 
 
What happened to you?
 
Where are you?
 
 
 
- I'm going out.
 
- Out? Out where?
 
 
 
- Out there.
 
- Oh, no!
 
 
 
I have to, before I go
 
to work for the rest of my life.
 
 
 
You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello?
 
 
 
Another call coming in.
 
 
 
If anyone's feeling brave,
 
there's a Korean deli on 83rd
 
 
 
that gets their roses today.
 
 
 
Hey, guys.
 
 
 
- Look at that.
 
- Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday?
 
 
 
Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted.
 
 
 
It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up.
 
 
 
Really? Feeling lucky, are you?
 
 
 
Sign here, here. Just initial that.
 
 
 
- Thank you.
 
- OK.
 
 
 
You got a rain advisory today,
 
 
 
and as you all know,
 
bees cannot fly in rain.
 
 
 
So be careful. As always,
 
watch your brooms,
 
 
 
hockey sticks, dogs,
 
birds, bears and bats.
 
 
 
Also, I got a couple of reports
 
of root beer being poured on us.
 
 
 
Murphy's in a home because of it,
 
babbling like a cicada!
 
 
 
- That's awful.
 
- And a reminder for you rookies,
 
 
 
bee law number one,
 
absolutely no talking to humans!
 
 
 
All right, launch positions!
 
 
 
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz,
 
buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!
 
 
 
Black and yellow!
 
 
 
Hello!
 
 
 
You ready for this, hot shot?
 
 
 
Yeah. Yeah, bring it on.
 
 
 
Wind, check.
 
 
 
- Antennae, check.
 
- Nectar pack, check.
 
 
 
- Wings, check.
 
- Stinger, check.
 
 
 
Scared out of my shorts, check.
 
 
 
OK, ladies,
 
 
 
let's move it out!
 
 
 
Pound those petunias,
 
you striped stem-suckers!
 
 
 
All of you, drain those flowers!
 
 
 
Wow! I'm out!
 
 
 
I can't believe I'm out!
 
 
 
So blue.
 
 
 
I feel so fast and free!
 
 
 
Box kite!
 
 
 
Wow!
 
 
 
Flowers!
 
 
 
This is Blue Leader.
 
We have roses visual.
 
 
 
Bring it around 30 degrees and hold.
 
 
 
Roses!
 
 
 
30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around.
 
 
 
Stand to the side, kid.
 
It's got a bit of a kick.
 
 
 
That is one nectar collector!
 
 
 
- Ever see pollination up close?
 
- No, sir.
 
 
 
I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it
 
over here. Maybe a dash over there,
 
 
 
a pinch on that one.
 
See that? It's a little bit of magic.
 
 
 
That's amazing. Why do we do that?
 
 
 
That's pollen power. More pollen, more
 
flowers, more nectar, more honey for us.
 
 
 
Oool.
 
 
 
I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow.
 
Oould be daisies. Don't we need those?
 
 
 
Oopy that visual.
 
 
 
Wait. One of these flowers
 
seems to be on the move.
 
 
 
Say again? You're reporting
 
a moving flower?
 
 
 
Affirmative.
 
 
 
That was on the line!
 
 
 
This is the coolest. What is it?
 
 
 
I don't know, but I'm loving this color.
 
 
 
It smells good.
 
Not like a flower, but I like it.
 
 
 
Yeah, fuzzy.
 
 
 
Ohemical-y.
 
 
 
Oareful, guys. It's a little grabby.
 
 
 
My sweet lord of bees!
 
 
 
Oandy-brain, get off there!
 
 
 
Problem!
 
 
 
- Guys!
 
- This could be bad.
 
 
 
Affirmative.
 
 
 
Very close.
 
 
 
Gonna hurt.
 
 
 
Mama's little boy.
 
 
 
You are way out of position, rookie!
 
 
 
Ooming in at you like a missile!
 
 
 
Help me!
 
 
 
I don't think these are flowers.
 
 
 
- Should we tell him?
 
- I think he knows.
 
 
 
What is this?!
 
 
 
Match point!
 
 
 
You can start packing up, honey,
 
because you're about to eat it!
 
 
 
Yowser!
 
 
 
Gross.
 
 
 
There's a bee in the car!
 
 
 
- Do something!
 
- I'm driving!
 
 
 
- Hi, bee.
 
- He's back here!
 
 
 
He's going to sting me!
 
 
 
Nobody move. If you don't move,
 
he won't sting you. Freeze!
 
 
 
He blinked!
 
 
 
Spray him, Granny!
 
 
 
What are you doing?!
 
 
 
Wow... the tension level
 
out here is unbelievable.
 
 
 
I gotta get home.
 
 
 
Oan't fly in rain.
 
 
 
Oan't fly in rain.
 
 
 
Oan't fly in rain.
 
 
 
Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down!
 
 
 
Ken, could you close
 
the window please?
 
 
 
Ken, could you close
 
the window please?
 
 
 
Oheck out my new resume.
 
I made it into a fold-out brochure.
 
 
 
You see? Folds out.
 
 
 
Oh, no. More humans. I don't need this.
 
 
 
What was that?
 
 
 
Maybe this time. This time. This time.
 
This time! This time! This...
 
 
 
Drapes!
 
 
 
That is diabolical.
 
 
 
It's fantastic. It's got all my special
 
skills, even my top-ten favorite movies.
 
 
 
What's number one? Star Wars?
 
 
 
Nah, I don't go for that...
 
 
 
...kind of stuff.
 
 
 
No wonder we shouldn't talk to them.
 
They're out of their minds.
 
 
 
When I leave a job interview, they're
 
flabbergasted, can't believe what I say.
 
 
 
There's the sun. Maybe that's a way out.
 
 
 
I don't remember the sun
 
having a big 75 on it.
 
 
 
I predicted global warming.
 
 
 
I could feel it getting hotter.
 
At first I thought it was just me.
 
 
 
Wait! Stop! Bee!
 
 
 
Stand back. These are winter boots.
 
 
 
Wait!
 
 
 
Don't kill him!
 
 
 
You know I'm allergic to them!
 
This thing could kill me!
 
 
 
Why does his life have
 
less value than yours?
 
 
 
Why does his life have any less value
 
than mine? Is that your statement?
 
 
 
I'm just saying all life has value. You
 
don't know what he's capable of feeling.
 
 
 
My brochure!
 
 
 
There you go, little guy.
 
 
 
I'm not scared of him.
 
It's an allergic thing.
 
 
 
Put that on your resume brochure.
 
 
 
My whole face could puff up.
 
 
 
Make it one of your special skills.
 
 
 
Knocking someone out
 
is also a special skill.
 
 
 
Right. Bye, Vanessa. Thanks.
 
 
 
- Vanessa, next week? Yogurt night?
 
- Sure, Ken. You know, whatever.
 
 
 
- You could put carob chips on there.
 
- Bye.
 
 
 
- Supposed to be less calories.
 
- Bye.
 
 
 
I gotta say something.
 
 
 
She saved my life.
 
I gotta say something.
 
 
 
All right, here it goes.
 
 
 
Nah.
 
 
 
What would I say?
 
 
 
I could really get in trouble.
 
 
 
It's a bee law.
 
You're not supposed to talk to a human.
 
 
 
I can't believe I'm doing this.
 
 
 
I've got to.
 
 
 
Oh, I can't do it. Oome on!
 
 
 
No. Yes. No.
 
 
 
Do it. I can't.
 
 
 
How should I start it?
 
"You like jazz?" No, that's no good.
 
 
 
Here she comes! Speak, you fool!
 
 
 
Hi!
 
 
 
I'm sorry.
 
 
 
- You're talking.
 
- Yes, I know.
 
 
 
You're talking!
 
 
 
I'm so sorry.
 
 
 
No, it's OK. It's fine.
 
I know I'm dreaming.
 
 
 
But I don't recall going to bed.
 
 
 
Well, I'm sure this
 
is very disconcerting.
 
 
 
This is a bit of a surprise to me.
 
I mean, you're a bee!
 
 
 
I am. And I'm not supposed
 
to be doing this,
 
 
 
but they were all trying to kill me.
 
 
 
And if it wasn't for you...
 
 
 
I had to thank you.
 
It's just how I was raised.
 
 
 
That was a little weird.
 
 
 
- I'm talking with a bee.
 
- Yeah.
 
 
 
I'm talking to a bee.
 
And the bee is talking to me!
 
 
 
I just want to say I'm grateful.
 
I'll leave now.
 
 
 
- Wait! How did you learn to do that?
 
- What?
 
 
 
The talking thing.
 
 
 
Same way you did, I guess.
 
"Mama, Dada, honey." You pick it up.
 
 
 
- That's very funny.
 
- Yeah.
 
 
 
Bees are funny. If we didn't laugh,
 
we'd cry with what we have to deal with.
 
 
 
Anyway...
 
 
 
Oan I...
 
 
 
...get you something?
 
- Like what?
 
 
 
I don't know. I mean...
 
I don't know. Ooffee?
 
 
 
I don't want to put you out.
 
 
 
It's no trouble. It takes two minutes.
 
 
 
- It's just coffee.
 
- I hate to impose.
 
 
 
- Don't be ridiculous!
 
- Actually, I would love a cup.
 
 
 
Hey, you want rum cake?
 
 
 
- I shouldn't.
 
- Have some.
 
 
 
- No, I can't.
 
- Oome on!
 
 
 
I'm trying to lose a couple micrograms.
 
 
 
- Where?
 
- These stripes don't help.
 
 
 
You look great!
 
 
 
I don't know if you know
 
anything about fashion.
 
 
 
Are you all right?
 
 
 
No.
 
 
 
He's making the tie in the cab
 
as they're flying up Madison.
 
 
 
He finally gets there.
 
 
 
He runs up the steps into the church.
 
The wedding is on.
 
 
 
And he says, "Watermelon?
 
I thought you said Guatemalan.
 
 
 
Why would I marry a watermelon?"
 
 
 
Is that a bee joke?
 
 
 
That's the kind of stuff we do.
 
 
 
Yeah, different.
 
 
 
So, what are you gonna do, Barry?
 
 
 
About work? I don't know.
 
 
 
I want to do my part for the hive,
 
but I can't do it the way they want.
 
 
 
I know how you feel.
 
 
 
- You do?
 
- Sure.
 
 
 
My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or
 
a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist.
 
 
 
- Really?
 
- My only interest is flowers.
 
 
 
Our new queen was just elected
 
with that same campaign slogan.
 
 
 
Anyway, if you look...
 
 
 
There's my hive right there. See it?
 
 
 
You're in Sheep Meadow!
 
 
 
Yes! I'm right off the Turtle Pond!
 
 
 
No way! I know that area.
 
I lost a toe ring there once.
 
 
 
- Why do girls put rings on their toes?
 
- Why not?
 
 
 
- It's like putting a hat on your knee.
 
- Maybe I'll try that.
 
 
 
- You all right, ma'am?
 
- Oh, yeah. Fine.
 
 
 
Just having two cups of coffee!
 
 
 
Anyway, this has been great.
 
Thanks for the coffee.
 
 
 
Yeah, it's no trouble.
 
 
 
Sorry I couldn't finish it. If I did,
 
I'd be up the rest of my life.
 
 
 
Are you...?
 
 
 
Oan I take a piece of this with me?
 
 
 
Sure! Here, have a crumb.
 
 
 
- Thanks!
 
- Yeah.
 
 
 
All right. Well, then...
 
I guess I'll see you around.
 
 
 
Or not.
 
 
 
OK, Barry.
 
 
 
And thank you
 
so much again... for before.
 
 
 
Oh, that? That was nothing.
 
 
 
Well, not nothing, but... Anyway...
 
 
 
This can't possibly work.
 
 
 
He's all set to go.
 
We may as well try it.
 
 
 
OK, Dave, pull the chute.
 
 
 
- Sounds amazing.
 
- It was amazing!
 
 
 
It was the scariest,
 
happiest moment of my life.
 
 
 
Humans! I can't believe
 
you were with humans!
 
 
 
Giant, scary humans!
 
What were they like?
 
 
 
Huge and crazy. They talk crazy.
 
 
 
They eat crazy giant things.
 
They drive crazy.
 
 
 
- Do they try and kill you, like on TV?
 
- Some of them. But some of them don't.
 
 
 
- How'd you get back?
 
- Poodle.
 
 
 
You did it, and I'm glad. You saw
 
whatever you wanted to see.
 
 
 
You had your "experience." Now you
 
can pick out yourjob and be normal.
 
 
 
- Well...
 
- Well?
 
 
 
Well, I met someone.
 
 
 
You did? Was she Bee-ish?
 
 
 
- A wasp?! Your parents will kill you!
 
- No, no, no, not a wasp.
 
 
 
- Spider?
 
- I'm not attracted to spiders.
 
 
 
I know it's the hottest thing,
 
with the eight legs and all.
 
 
 
I can't get by that face.
 
 
 
So who is she?
 
 
 
She's... human.
 
 
 
No, no. That's a bee law.
 
You wouldn't break a bee law.
 
 
 
- Her name's Vanessa.
 
- Oh, boy.
 
 
 
She's so nice. And she's a florist!
 
 
 
Oh, no! You're dating a human florist!
 
 
 
We're not dating.
 
 
 
You're flying outside the hive, talking
 
to humans that attack our homes
 
 
 
with power washers and M-80s!
 
One-eighth a stick of dynamite!
 
 
 
She saved my life!
 
And she understands me.
 
 
 
This is over!
 
 
 
Eat this.
 
 
 
This is not over! What was that?
 
 
 
- They call it a crumb.
 
- It was so stingin' stripey!
 
 
 
And that's not what they eat.
 
That's what falls off what they eat!
 
 
 
- You know what a Oinnabon is?
 
- No.
 
 
 
It's bread and cinnamon and frosting.
 
They heat it up...
 
 
 
Sit down!
 
 
 
...really hot!
 
- Listen to me!
 
 
 
We are not them! We're us.
 
There's us and there's them!
 
 
 
Yes, but who can deny
 
the heart that is yearning?
 
 
 
There's no yearning.
 
Stop yearning. Listen to me!
 
 
 
You have got to start thinking bee,
 
my friend. Thinking bee!
 
 
 
- Thinking bee.
 
- Thinking bee.
 
 
 
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
 
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
 
 
 
There he is. He's in the pool.
 
 
 
You know what your problem is, Barry?
 
 
 
I gotta start thinking bee?
 
 
 
How much longer will this go on?
 
 
 
It's been three days!
 
Why aren't you working?
 
 
 
I've got a lot of big life decisions
 
to think about.
 
 
 
What life? You have no life!
 
You have no job. You're barely a bee!
 
 
 
Would it kill you
 
to make a little honey?
 
 
 
Barry, come out.
 
Your father's talking to you.
 
 
 
Martin, would you talk to him?
 
 
 
Barry, I'm talking to you!
 
 
 
You coming?
 
 
 
Got everything?
 
 
 
All set!
 
 
 
Go ahead. I'll catch up.
 
 
 
Don't be too long.
 
 
 
Watch this!
 
 
 
Vanessa!
 
 
 
- We're still here.
 
- I told you not to yell at him.
 
 
 
He doesn't respond to yelling!
 
 
 
- Then why yell at me?
 
- Because you don't listen!
 
 
 
I'm not listening to this.
 
 
 
Sorry, I've gotta go.
 
 
 
- Where are you going?
 
- I'm meeting a friend.
 
 
 
A girl? Is this why you can't decide?
 
 
 
Bye.
 
 
 
I just hope she's Bee-ish.
 
 
 
They have a huge parade
 
of flowers every year in Pasadena?
 
 
 
To be in the Tournament of Roses,
 
that's every florist's dream!
 
 
 
Up on a float, surrounded
 
by flowers, crowds cheering.
 
 
 
A tournament. Do the roses
 
compete in athletic events?
 
 
 
No. All right, I've got one.
 
How come you don't fly everywhere?
 
 
 
It's exhausting. Why don't you
 
run everywhere? It's faster.
 
 
 
Yeah, OK, I see, I see.
 
All right, your turn.
 
 
 
TiVo. You can just freeze live TV?
 
That's insane!
 
 
 
You don't have that?
 
 
 
We have Hivo, but it's a disease.
 
It's a horrible, horrible disease.
 
 
 
Oh, my.
 
 
 
Dumb bees!
 
 
 
You must want to sting all those jerks.
 
 
 
We try not to sting.
 
It's usually fatal for us.
 
 
 
So you have to watch your temper.
 
 
 
Very carefully.
 
You kick a wall, take a walk,
 
 
 
write an angry letter and throw it out.
 
Work through it like any emotion:
 
 
 
Anger, jealousy, lust.
 
 
 
Oh, my goodness! Are you OK?
 
 
 
Yeah.
 
 
 
- What is wrong with you?!
 
- It's a bug.
 
 
 
He's not bothering anybody.
 
Get out of here, you creep!
 
 
 
What was that? A Pic 'N' Save circular?
 
 
 
Yeah, it was. How did you know?
 
 
 
It felt like about 10 pages.
 
Seventy-five is pretty much our limit.
 
 
 
You've really got that
 
down to a science.
 
 
 
- I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue.
 
- I'll bet.
 
 
 
What in the name
 
of Mighty Hercules is this?
 
 
 
How did this get here?
 
Oute Bee, Golden Blossom,
 
 
 
Ray Liotta Private Select?
 
 
 
- Is he that actor?
 
- I never heard of him.
 
 
 
- Why is this here?
 
- For people. We eat it.
 
 
 
You don't have
 
enough food of your own?
 
 
 
- Well, yes.
 
- How do you get it?
 
 
 
- Bees make it.
 
- I know who makes it!
 
 
 
And it's hard to make it!
 
 
 
There's heating, cooling, stirring.
 
You need a whole Krelman thing!
 
 
 
- It's organic.
 
- It's our-ganic!
 
 
 
It's just honey, Barry.
 
 
 
Just what?!
 
 
 
Bees don't know about this!
 
This is stealing! A lot of stealing!
 
 
 
You've taken our homes, schools,
 
hospitals! This is all we have!
 
 
 
And it's on sale?!
 
I'm getting to the bottom of this.
 
 
 
I'm getting to the bottom
 
of all of this!
 
 
 
Hey, Hector.
 
 
 
- You almost done?
 
- Almost.
 
 
 
He is here. I sense it.
 
 
 
Well, I guess I'll go home now
 
 
 
and just leave this nice honey out,
 
with no one around.
 
 
 
You're busted, box boy!
 
 
 
I knew I heard something.
 
So you can talk!
 
 
 
I can talk.
 
And now you'll start talking!
 
 
 
Where you getting the sweet stuff?
 
Who's your supplier?
 
 
 
I don't understand.
 
I thought we were friends.
 
 
 
The last thing we want
 
to do is upset bees!
 
 
 
You're too late! It's ours now!
 
 
 
You, sir, have crossed
 
the wrong sword!
 
 
 
You, sir, will be lunch
 
for my iguana, Ignacio!
 
 
 
Where is the honey coming from?
 
 
 
Tell me where!
 
 
 
Honey Farms! It comes from Honey Farms!
 
 
 
Orazy person!
 
 
 
What horrible thing has happened here?
 
 
 
These faces, they never knew
 
what hit them. And now
 
 
 
they're on the road to nowhere!
 
 
 
Just keep still.
 
 
 
What? You're not dead?
 
 
 
Do I look dead? They will wipe anything
 
that moves. Where you headed?
 
 
 
To Honey Farms.
 
I am onto something huge here.

Whassup, bee boy?
 
 
 
Hey, Blood.
 
 
 
Just a row of honey jars,
 
as far as the eye could see.

I mean, that honey's ours.

It's a close community.
 
 
 
Not us, man. We on our own.
 
Every mosquito on his own.

Did you bring your crazy straw?
 
 
 
We throw it in jars, slap a label on it,
 
and it's pretty much pure profit.
 
 
 
What is this place?
 
 
 
A bee's got a brain

Bella Goth ( /ˈbɛlə ɡɒθ/) (née Bachelor) is one of the pre-made Sims shipped with The Sims game, in which she lives with her husband, Mortimer Goth, and her daughter, Cassandra Goth. Between The Sims and The Sims 2, Bella and Mortimer had one more child, Alexander Goth. She also had an elder brother named Michael Bachelor.

Biography

Life leading up to The Sims 3

In The Sims 3, Bella starts as a child (7 days to teen) who lives with her mother, Jocasta Bachelor, father, Simis Bachelor, and older brother, Michael Bachelor. Because she is still a child, she goes by her maiden name of Bachelor. She wears a red dress because this is her favorite color. Oddly, she has hazel eyes, even though she has brown eyes in The Sims and The Sims 2. When she grows up, she looks different from the adult versions of her from The Sims and The Sims 2; her lips are thinner and her eyes are much bigger. Bella and Mortimer Goth are best friends. Her traits are good, brave and lucky. She attends elementary school and is a good student. She is also slightly gothic, which is evidenced by her room and playroom being decorated with skulls, which may hint at why she married Mortimer, and also at her interest in the paranormal. She has one point of the painting skill. There is sometimes a glitch where her thumbnail, picture in relationship panels, and picture in wishes appear with her as a child, similar to Mortimer Goth. Bella has a good relationship with her family. She is said to be 'well-behaved' and the best dressed girl around.

Worlds in The Sims 3 are believed to be placed in different parts the main timeline, and it has since been confirmed by SimGuruSarah that the Bella Goth in Lunar Lakes graveyard is the same Bella from Pleasantview and Strangetown.[1] Thus by the time of Lunar Lakes, Bella is dead. Her appearance (with her yellow hair, gaunt face and greenish skin) is very different in this town than in previous towns, but it is in line with other deceased Sims buried in the Lunar Lakes cemetery. How or when she got to Lunar Lakes remains unconfirmed, as is whether or not she ever reunited with her family after her alien abduction.

Life leading up to The Sims Bustin' Out

In The Sims Bustin' Out, Bella Goth lives with her husband Mortimer Goth in Goth Manor. Her daughter Cassandra Goth may or may not have been born yet. She works as a Horror Movie Extra in the Movie Star Career and likes to play the piano and read when she's not working. Her favorite interactions are telling stories and nagging about friends. She has a completely different personality in this game than in the others.

Life leading up to The Sims (console)

Bella Goth appears in The Sims (console) version with her husband Mortimer Goth and daughter Cassandra Goth living in 5 Sim Avenue. She still wears the same red dress and shoes, and has black hair. She shares a 90+ relationship with her husband and a 20+ relationship with her daughter. She likes to read, play chess, feed fish and mourn at the tombstones. Her brother Michael Bachelor is in the Family Bin as a playable character. However, their relationship is not stated, and Michael remains a separate character from her line of the family.

Life leading up to The Sims

Bella Goth, her husband, Mortimer Goth, and her daughter, Cassandra Goth, are first introduced in The Sims. She is an elegant, yet athletic, woman who seems to enjoy playing golf. Her activities when played will either be painting or playing the piano, which gives credibility to the theory that she may also be a very creative and talented person. She also has quite a high interest in the paranormal.

Life leading up to The Sims 2

By the time the storyline has caught up to The Sims 2, Bella has had another child, Alexander Goth, and has disappeared via alien abduction. It is then also revealed that Bella is Michael Bachelor's sister. She does exist in Pleasantview, but is hidden within the game code and can only be found using cheats or third-party programs. Bella's disappearance is a major component to the background story of Pleasantview and it's theorized that Maxis picked her for this major role because she is a mysterious, yet elegant, woman. Her last known whereabouts are Don Lothario's deck, and Don's photo album and memory panel show that he had attempted some romantic interactions with Bella, which she didn't accept, before she mysteriously disappeared. Many of Mortimer's, Cassandra's, and Alexander's memories involve Bella, meaning that she hasn't been gone for too long. On the family tree panel, Bella's face is not grey, which indicates that the game does not consider her to be dead. Although her husband and daughter have memories of her being abducted by aliens, the story does not explicitly state what happened to Bella. Oddly enough, most of the furniture was left untouched after she left. If a Sim uses the fingerprint scanner, much of the furniture was touched by her. Maxis created a likeness of Bella 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. Strangetown Bella's career is randomized at the start of the game, whereas the Pleasantview Bella, if brought back, has no personality points, career and no premade memories, and she cannot be played without the use of hacks such as SimPE. Another odd detail is that, if Bella is brought back, Mortimer's relationship with her will be that of acquaintances rather than spouses. The reason for this is because the developers did not set the correct relationship flags.

Relationship flags such as Crush, Love, and Married are normally unset when a Sim dies, and reset when that Sim is resurrected. It may simply be that the methods needed to bring Bella back do not reset these flags, or that they were not set when Maxis created Bella and Mortimer for The Sims 2.

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 to the Goth and Bachelor family trees, which lends credence to the theory that the alien experiments left her mind wiped. A further area worth looking into is the cinematic when Alexander Goth goes off to university. If Mortimer is already deceased, the scene that the player sees before they enter the university features a regular Bella as Alexander's mother and she is sobbing about the loss of her son as he is grown up, but still remains missing afterwards. On The Sims 2 website, there is an interview[2] that explains her disappearance, saying that she is the same person as Strangetown Bella Goth. Another odd fact is that she is seen looking through a small telescope on Don Lothario's deck, even though it is impossible to get abducted through this telescope in normal gameplay. This might be a mistake overlooked by the creators to show good story-telling pictures for the neighborhood.

Life leading up to The Sims 2 (PSP)

By the time the storyline has caught up to the PSP game, Bella is hiding from aliens in Strangetown. She still doesn't remember her family and likes chocolate. According to Mambo Loa, Bella is not good at keeping secrets. She is looking to sell her home (the Espiritu Estate) which she despises a lot because it is haunted by three scary ghosts (Emily Emory, Nervous Subject, and Dennis Philips, one of Hazel Dente's previous husbands). She sells her home for all the money that the player has.

Bella's secrets from The Sims 2 (PSP):

  1. (Personal): Bella married for money... but stayed for free premium cable!
  2. (Intimate): Bella never REALLY loved Mortimer... she married him for his money.
  3. (Dark): Bella knows Kung Fu. A man named Kung Fu. He does all her landscaping. Nice guy.
  4. (Bella's Alien Secret): Bella is running away because she was abducted by aliens!

Life leading up to The Sims Social

Bella first appeared in a short interview promotion for the Facebook app The Sims Social. The interview confirms her abduction from The Sims 2. 'Ask the developer' thread in The Sims Social forum also stated it.[3] Bella had in fact mysteriously reappeared in Littlehaven, a new city where Bella lived, set after The Sims 2 and Strangetown events, and it was her helpful neighbor Buddy who had found her. It appeared she had absolutely no memory of what had happened to her since the night of her abduction—a whole chunk of her life was missing. As friends and family told her of how she had disappeared, Bella was determined to get answers and set off in search of the UFOs—and her memories, in which she was good at it, too. Bella uncovered and met many an alien, mastering detective skills that Foxy Boulder would have been proud of. But alas, though she had successfully interviewed many aliens, they were not the ones who had abducted her. Each visitor pointed to another, and Bella followed the leads for many months.

Eventually, after becoming exhausted following rumors and gossip, she settled for hypnotherapy in order to rediscover the hidden mysteries of her mind. Apart from uncovering numerous past life experiences, Bella did manage to recover her memories of the abduction. Pleased with the success of the therapy, she diligently wrote down in her journal for safekeeping—should she be abducted again and be made forget. She plans to publish her notes someday, though she hasn't announced any dates.

Bella may secretly hope to meet her UFOs acquaintances someday, but has since made peace with the fact that she's made lots of new friends in Littlehaven.

She likes Chinese food (especially sweet and sour), would like to be a Fashion Buyer or a Mystery Customer for luxury spa resorts, and would like to visit The Eiffel Tower and The Taj Mahal. Her personality is socialite, and her career is chef. In the game, she is the tutorial Sim and the first neighbor the players' Sim meets. She is single and lives alone. She wears her signature red dress, red shoes, long black hair and has tan skin. The limit relationship with Bella is friendship; the player cannot become good friends or best friends with her nor fall in love or go steady with her. However, the player can perform romantic interactions with her.

Life leading up to The Sims Mobile

In The Sims Mobile, Bella appears in this game to help the player to perform various tasks as part of the tutorial. It is possible to build a relationship with her.

This section is in need of additional information. You can help The Sims Wiki by expanding this section.

Life leading up to The Sims 4

Prior to the game's release, Bella appeared in a number of promotional materials, beginning with an Easter Egg in the first official trailer. She and Mortimer were later included as renders and in The Sims 4: Create A Sim Official Gameplay trailer, looking slightly different than in the final release.

In the game, Bella lives in Willow Creek in the Ophelia Villa with her husband, Mortimer, and their two children, Cassandra and Alexander. This version of Bella Goth has been officially confirmed as existing in an alternate timeline to those seen in previous installments of the series.

The Sims 4 version of Bella is a young adult, 24 days away from becoming an adult. She has the Party Animal aspiration and works in the secret agent career as an intelligence researcher, and has two skill points each in charisma, fitness, and programming. She is friends with her daughter and son, and sweethearts with Mortimer. She has no relationships outside of her household when first played.

In the trailer, Bella is shown to have three traits, which are romantic, outgoing, and active. She's also shown to have an aspiration of Friend to the World, and a gregarious benefit. This version of her can be downloaded from the gallery, by SimGuruJill. The in-game version of her, however, has slightly different traits and aspiration: She is good, family-oriented and romantic, and has the Party Animal aspiration, but still has the gregarious benefit.

Reuniting the Goths

A few people around the Internet have suggested many ways in order to get the Pleasantview Bella back. One way is to use the boolProp testingcheatsenabled and spawn the Tombstone of Life and Death to add Bella to the Goth family. Another is to use the inSimenator to summon Bella, improve her relationship to Mortimer, and set her as his spouse and resurrect her. However, she has the I Am Dead Token which will cause her to die. This can be removed using SimPE.

When using boolProp testingcheatsenabled, Bella will be fine on the lot, but if the player leaves the lot and then return, the game will show her as having a ghost texture. The player will be able to control her for around a minute and then she will disappear. After this, a message will appear saying 'Bella has died on another lot.'

Befriending the Bella Goth in Strangetown and moving her into a lot and then making her find her own place is a way to play Bella Goth, but only in Strangetown. Moving the lot to the Lots and Houses bin and then moving her into Pleasantview will cause problems in both neighborhoods.

In other games

Her Bustin' Out biography states: Her name in Italian means "beautiful" and it fits her better than her red leather corset. Descended from a long line of occultists, mystics and decadents, she has thrown convention to the wind. Her disdain for the pedestrian and normal is only matched by her sense of ennui and isolation. She distracts herself from this world with a little organ practice and exotic gardenings of the lethal variety.

Bella Goth is perhaps one of the most well known Sims. She appeared in The Sims Bustin' Out along with her husband Mortimer, she was in the TV family in The Sims 2 for Game Boy Advance, she appeared in The Sims 2 for PlayStation Portable, and she appeared in SimCity 4. According to her quotes in SimGolf (which she made an appearance as the download-able golfer, along with her family), she is very nice, an excellent neighbor, a little vain, compares bad things to Mortimer's foul moods and compares her family members to her shots (such as a Bella shot is too easy, a Mortimer shot is too difficult, and a Cassandra shot is impossible). She was also regularly featured on the cover for The Sims and its expansions.

Easter eggs

Main article: Easter Eggs

There are many Easter eggs involving Bella Goth. Here is a list so far:

The Sims

  • Two Men, A Woman, and One Monkey: Bella, along with her husband Mortimer Goth, neighbor Bob Newbie and a monkey starred in the aforementioned show according to a poster in The Sims: Superstar. "In this hilarious and light-hearted TV series, two men, a woman, and one monkey were randomly picked from a pool of contestants to share a house for one month. Follow them through the good times and the hard times as they try to live their lives with their new house-mates."

The Sims 2

Bella Squared

Bella Squared portrait.

  • Bella Squared: Bella Squared is a portrait of Bella Goth that can be hung in a Sims' houses. Allegedly, if in Strangetown, the player hangs the Bella Squared portrait in the house, the Strangetown Bella Goth will eventually show up.
  • Marketing Print by Seph Eia: If the player has the highest graphic quality set (allowing them to see portraits clearly), they will see that the last two portraits in the marketing print are of Bella Goth.
  • Pianist: On SimStation Dance, some people say the pianist in the R&B song music video is Bella Goth. This woman has the same face, skin tone, outfit, and hairstyle as Bella, but with brown hair and glasses.
  • Milk: A "missing persons" photo of Bella Goth can be seen on the milk carton when Sims make cereal in The Sims 2. In The Sims 3, this is the Tragic Clown.
  • Hot Air Balloon: A little graphic that looks a lot like Bella Goth can be seen inside of the hot air balloon's basket with DreamBoat. Some people say that the Sims in question are Don and Blonde Bombshell.
  • Belladonna Cove Statue: Easily the most conspicuous Easter egg, there is a very tall, golden statue of Bella holding a platinum plumbbob that ships with the The Sims 2:Apartment Life expansion pack.
  • Broken Bella and Mortimer snow globe: One of the many hidden files found and posted on ModTheSims.

    The broken Bella & Mortimer snow globe.

  • Fireplace: In the Goth family album, there is a picture of Cassandra and a modern looking fireplace. In another picture, the player can see Don kissing Cassandra, but the fireplace is changed to the most expensive one. Looking at the textures of the modern looking fireplace, there is a picture of Bella.
  • Music: There is a song under the Jazz section on the radio titled "Good Evening Bella".
  • Photograph: When blackmailing another Sim, there is a very pixelated image of a figure wearing a red corset.
  • Old Age: When a Sim dies of old age, a Hula Zombie will appear with the Grim Reaper. It looks like Bella Goth.
  • Bella Squared Record: If you look at the DJ booth, on the left-hand side where there are a stack of records arranged horizontally in a cage, rearrange the camera so it is looking at the one facing out from the booth, it will be a picture of the Bella Squared painting.
  • Prestidigitator: In the entertainment career track, the 10th level job's description says something about making Bella appear in smoke.
  • Game Designer: In the gamer career at level 10, the chance card refers to designing a game in which a couple is to be broken up. The choices are between having one member be abducted by aliens, or thinking of something else. If the player chooses the first option and gets a positive outcome, the text alludes to the Bella-was-abducted storyline, and the commercial success of The Sims 2.
  • Also in The Sims 2 Castaway for Nintendo DS, if the player builds the best house it will say "Only the Bella Goths of the island live here"
  • Fridge: There is a fridge in The Sims 2 (PSP) that is called The Chow Bella Fridge (although this can also be a reference to the Italian phrase "Ciao Bella").
  • Custom Painting: When player paints a custom painting, there are premade paintings of Bella Goth and the Goth Manor shipped with FreeTime. These premade paintings have ideal size for Architecture Drafting Table.

Resurrection tip
This Sim can be resurrected with the Tombstone of Life and Death.

The Sims 3

  • Cover: Bella appears on the cover of The Sims 3.
  • Book: A book called "Where's Bella?" in the Sim's bookcase. A common theory is that this is The Sims equivalent of "Where's Waldo?" (or, in the UK, "Where's Wally?") There is also a book titled "Murder in Pleasantview" by Alexander Goth (though it could not be the as-yet-unborn Alexander from The Sims 2 unless time travel is involved), which could hint at an explanation of Bella's disappearance between The Sims and The Sims 2, given that alien abduction is not present in The Sims 3 base game.
  • Collectibles: Sims can collect space rocks called "Unusual Bellacite" after analyzing them.
  • Bookcase: There is a picture on the bookcase of what appears to be Bella from The Sims 2.
  • Already Retro CD Display Shelving: On top of the CD display shelves, there is a movie with a picture of Bella from The Sims 1.

  • Donation: If a Sim has the Good trait, one of the charities they can donate to is Bella Beneficiary.
  • Private Investigator: If a Sim is snooping for clues, they will remark, "This reminds me of when Bella went missing... I need to keep looking." However, since the game is set 50 years before the adult Bella disappeared, this makes little sense unless it's a reference to "Where's Bella?"
  • Sketch: When a Sim is sketching at the drafting table, they can sketch a black-and-white picture of Bella from The Sims 2, in her signature gown.
  • Painting: When a Sim paints a small painting, one possible picture they can create is of Bella, wearing her signature red dress and with her back turned, near Cassandra, who is in the white shirt and blue pants she wears in The Sims. They appear to be among gravestones (which makes sense for the Goth family), although it is hard to be sure because the picture is painted and texturized. A large painting, which is the one above Mortimer's bed in The Sims 2, can also be painted. Another large painting includes a couple on a balcony, The man wears a suit and the woman wears an elegant red dress, which indicates that they could be Mortimer and Bella.
  • Wallpaper: There's a wallpaper called "Bella Gothic Wallpaper" in The Sims 3: Generations.
  • Gravestone in Lunar Lakes: In the downloadable town, Lunar Lakes, there is a gravestone of Bella Goth on it. This version of Bella died of old age and can be resurrected. However, once resurrected, she looks somewhat different from the Sunset Valley Bella, with a zombie-like appearance (just like every other dead sim in Lunar Lakes).
Bella in dimensional gate adventure

The message of dimensional gate adventure mentioning Bella, where the player has to make a choice

  • PlasmaPunch Gyroscopic Conductor—Dimensional Gate Upgrade: When adventuring using the dimensional gate on PlasmaPunch Gyroscopic Conductor, Sims might encounter the following message:

After a while of travelling through a stone dungeon, (Sim name) comes upon a giant green gem statue of Empress Bella Goth sitting atop a golden throne. At its base are a series of symbols that (Sim name) has never seen before. Upon further inspection, (Sim name) notices that inside the statue there is a key to the only door in the room. The only way out is to recover that key.

Furthermore, the players might receive the following messages randomly as the adventure progresses:

While sneaking through a ruined city, (Sim name) nearly walked into a group of aliens. Standing just out of view (Sim name) watched as they bowed before a mysterious looking Sim and chanted "Bella" in hushed monotone voices.

At the end of his / her journey, (Sim name) found himself / herself in a crystal and gem paradise where he / she saw a fleeting reflection of Bella Goth as the dimensional gate faded away. That last glimpse that (Sim name) saw will always remind him / her that Bella is still out there...somewhere.

  • Blackfyre Gothic Backdrop: A large prop in The Sims 3: Showtime is described to be a backdrop based on Bella's nightmares.
Golden Woman
  • Golden Woman of Prosperity: In 2009, The Sims 3 Store released a limited edition painting in a collection called "In Dawn of the Sims". The painting pictures Bella in the style of Gustav Klimt's "Woman in Gold". The description is "If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, then gold must be a girl's best acquaintance. This painting exudes such gold richness, you may consider going to a gold trading website and exchange the painting for cash."
  • Double Frame Photo: Holds a photo of two different Sims from The Sims 2; one is Bella and other is a blonde male child.

The Sims 4

  • Piano: In the Romantic and Classical menus (from Play Song...), there is a song named 'For Bella'. This could be any Bella, but as Bella Goth is probably the best known Bella in the whole of The Sims series, this probably points towards her. It may also be a reference to the famous composition "Für Elise" (For Elise) composed by Ludwig van Beethoven.

Trivia

  • The Sims 3 is the only game to have her last name as Bachelor as opposed to Goth in the other games since Sunset Valley was set before The Sims. It is also the only game where she doesn't live with Mortimer as well as being a child whereas in other games, she's an adult[TS][TSC][TS:BO][TS2] or a young adult[TS4].
    • It is possible to change her last name back to Goth through the city hall, brain enhancing machine[TS3:UL], or by having Mortimer propose to her when they are older.
  • Bella's secret in The Sims 2 for PSP states that she doesn't really love Mortimer and only married him for his money.[4] There is some debate as to whether this is true in the main series canon: certainly, Bella has no romantic attachment to Mortimer in The Sims 2 or The Sims 3, since in the latter case she is a child and too young to have romantic relationships, and in the former case she is a hidden character for story purposes and has no relationship values with her family. However, Bella is married to and in love with Mortimer in The Sims and The Sims 4.
  • In The Sims 2, when opening her Sim DNA, the page will appear blank.
  • According to SimPE, she is 29 days from being an elder in The Sims 2. Though it seems to be implied in The Sims 2 and The Sims 4 that Bella is much younger than Mortimer contrary to The Sims 3 timeline where they are the same age,[5] she should be closer to becoming an elder at the start of the game. This may be because Bella was never intended to be playable, so they never bothered to set her age.
    • This makes her younger than her daughter Cassandra, who is 26 days from becoming an elder.
    • Conversely, her Strangetown equivalent is 28 days from becoming an elder.
  • Bella is arguably one of the most recognizable sims in the series. Due to this, there appears to be another sim based off of her, Stella Roth.
  • Even though Bella is thin in The Sims 2, her fitness bar indicates that she is supposed to be fit.
  • According to her interview, Bella disappeared in the summer of 2004.[2]
  • Bella has never appeared as an elder by default in any of the Sims games.
  • In The Sims Medieval, there is an easter egg where if the player scries far enough into the future, it'll say "There is a women in a red dress, opps [sic?] , someone just peed themselves nearby" or similar.

San Myshuno reviews

  • Steer clear unless you like walking around in garbage and surrounded by weirdoes. I mean, if you like that, this might be the place to go. For me? No. - BellaNotBella (on Basketball Courts)
  • I once dated a guy living in one of the Culpepper apartments, and let's just say he wasn't the only rat I encountered there. - BellanotBella (on Culpepper Apartments)
  • I don't know what overcame Mortimer - perhaps the Guru's advice, or the fireworks, or just the mood, but he proposed on the spot and the festival was the most romantic night of my life. - BellanotBella (on Romance Festival)
  • Zenview is not just a clever name. Looking out those windows? Breathtaking. - Bellanotbella (on ZenView Heights)
  • I love how the city streets come alive with a less than serious side. Love to laugh? Don't miss this festival. - BellaNotBella (on Humor and Hijinks Festival)

  4. It is to note only Fortune Sims in The Sims 2 who are unmarried (e.g., Dina Caliente) get a want to marry a rich Sim. Furthermore, Bella's Aspiration is Romance, not Fortune.
  5. With story progression enabled, it is possible that Mortimer or Bella may age up a day before the other does. But by default they are the exact same age which can be proven by visiting their respective households after starting a clean neighborhood.
