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. Bella can be found in both Strangetown and Pleasantview, in which she cannot be seen. Some people say that if you ask Bella to a prom in the Sims 3, that she says she think she might get abducted. There's a dead Bella Goth in the downloadable The Sims 3 neighborhood Lunar Lakes, which hints Bella eventually died of Old Age in outer space. In The Sims 2 for the GameBoy Advance, however, she is seen reunited with her family, so it can be assumed she somehow made her way back to Pleasantview.

Olive is a killer
The garden behind Olive Specter's house is filled with dead people. They range from NPCs 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, whom she dislikes, is buried in her backyard, and Earl E. DeMise died shortly after leaving her at the altar. There is also much speculation that Nervous Subject is her son from a romantic encounter with the Grim Reaper.

Don in Riverview
Don appears in Riverview. His family 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 personal 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 highly likely to Cassandra Goth, as the two are engaged at the start of The Sims 2. However, that is also unconfirmed. It's also interesting to note that there are both Teleportation pads and Time Machines in The Sims 3, and 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 would be 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 as though Nina has Dina's personality from The Sims 2, and 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, which may have swapped their names while creating them, thereby making each of them the opposite of what they were in The Sims 2.

There is only one explanation for 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.''

Skip Broke
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, as other sims such as Michael Bachelor, Darleen Dreamer and Nervous Subject 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. Could of Lolita been an adopted child? Why is she in no one memories? Could she have been the wife or daughter of someone in the Goth Family? Why did she die of electrocution?

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 evidence 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 really did happen?

The Remington Family
Aiden and Hannah Jones are currently living in a large house located in Riverview. The house is large and comfortable and has much more furniture than what they really need, and it is the ideal place to raise up many children. What they did not know is that the house is haunted by her uncle's family, who believed if he kept to add it it would last forever. He did fulfill his wish and died painfully, electrocuted, his family also died painfully, his wife starved, his son burnt to death and his sister and daughter drowned, this means they were very unlucky with destiny. What's very odd is that Lydia was not buried in the home but in the cemetery. Hannah did not know about this, but how could she come to the house, if all of her family is dead? Was she invited by deceased people to live there? Does she want to live in a haunted place? How could these people be so rich?
