Bella Goth

Bella Goth was one of the pre-made Sims shipped with the original "The Sims" game, in which she lived with her husband Mortimer and her daughter Cassandra. In The Sims 2, Bella no longer actually exists; however, her essence lives on in two ways.

Bella's dissapearence from the game is a major component to the backstory of Pleasentview, the neighborhood where her family lives. The story does not explicitly state what happened to Bella, although her husband and children and Don Lotharo have memories of her being abducted by aliens. Many of Mortimer's memories involve Bella, as do Cassandra and Alexander's. On the family tree panel, Bella's face is greyed out. This indicates that the game considers her to be dead.

Although the actual Bella is gone, Maxis created a likeness of Bella and used it as a townie in another neighborhood, Strangetown. However, this is not the same Sim. The Strangetown Bella has no prior relationships with Mortimer, Cassandra, or Alexander, and in fact will not even remember who they are.
