Mysteries in The Sims series

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

Bella's disappearance
Bella disappeared sometime in the 25 years between The Sims and The Sims 2. Her disappearance is never fully explained. She is said to have last been seen at Don Lothario's home. The Caliente sisters arrived on the eve of her disappearance, but it is not known if they literally arrived the night before. Many believe she was abducted by aliens and taken to Strangetown, or never returned home but is still in SimNation. There is no obvious reason for her disappearance hinted at in her childhood, or 25 years before the start of The Sims 2. A woman, who is highly likely to be Bella, can be seen with a man in a striped suit in a hot air balloon in any neighborhood it is placed. This is likely only an Easter egg.

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

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

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

Two Skips
In Brandi's memories there are two Skip Brokes, but which one is real and which is not is quite debatable because one Skip appears in the family photo album, while the other one appears in the relationship tree - and is also resurrectable. However, the Skip that appears in the family photo album is not resurrectable, (and has no link to Brandi Broke's sons) which means he is unplayable, unlike the resurrectable and playable Skip.

Many players believe that one Skip may have killed the other, and then died shortly after. This is unconfirmed. It is highly unlikely that the presence of two Skips has any storyline significance, but why there are two Skips is still an open-ended mystery.

Who is Lolita Goth?
Lolita Goth is a member of the Goth family in The Sims 3. She doesn't appear at all in The Sims, or The Sims 2. It is assumed her grave was eventually lost, as she wasn't a true Goth in the first place. As she died a Young Adult, she could've been the first wife of Gunther Goth, or even Victor Goth. She might just be a replacement of Frida Goth, Gunther's older sister who did not appear in The Sims, or The Sims 3. It is still unknown who she is, or why Frida did not appear.

Erik Darling's death
Erik Darling is the deceased husband to Agnes Crumplebottom, he drowned to death and was buried in Agnes' garden. It is stated in Agnes' bio that her husband's death left her bitter and lonely, though there is some that this may be untrue because Agnes didn't even take his last name. This issue left some unsolved questions, it is claimed by some that she may have killed Erik, but it is also possible that she really loved him, what is even more strange is that he is not mentioned in The Sims 2. What did really happen?

Lilith Pleasant's Unfair treatment
Lilith Pleasant is the twin sister of Angela Pleasant. When they were young, Angela was treated with more affection, leaving Lilith to be mistreated and ignored. Nobody knows the original reasons, though it is highly suspected that Angela may have played some part in the whole story. Well, whatever the reason may be, it left Lilith lonely and depressed. So who could have caused her bad childhood and her present-day problems?
