Game guide:Reuniting the Goths

A few people around the Internet have suggested many ways in order to get the Bella Goth back. Here are a few suggestions.

With SimPE and Tombstone of Life and Death

 * 1) Download SimPE from here
 * 2) Run SimPE once you've installed it
 * 3) Go to Tools -> Neighborhood -> Neighborhood Browser
 * 4) Choose "Pleasantview"
 * 5) Go to Tools -> Neighborhood -> Sim Browser
 * 6) Check the "Uneditable" check box
 * 7) Select Bella Goth from the list of sims
 * 8) Go to the Plugin View and select Character, and give her some personality points
 * 9) Then select More -> Memories
 * 10) Remove the "[Invisible] Token - I Am Dead {}" memory
 * 11) Choose "commit"
 * 12) File -> Save
 * 13) Close SimPE
 * 14) Run The Sims 2
 * 15) Load up Pleasantview and any household of your choice (but the Goth house makes most sense)
 * 16) Open the cheat box by holding ctrl+shift+c
 * 17) Type in "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" and press enter
 * 18) Shift+click a sim and choose Spawn then Tombstone of L and D
 * 19) Type "boolprop testingcheatsenabled false" in the cheat box
 * 20) Click the tombstone and choose "Add Neighbor to Family"
 * 21) Keep pressing "more" until you see "Bella" and choose that
 * 22) Bella is now a playable character
 * 23) Go into buy mode and delete the tombstone

With Tombstone of Life and Death
First, open the cheat console, and then type in boolprop testingcheatsenabled true. Left click on a Sim and you will see a menu with many options. You'll want to click on the option called "Spawn". Then click on the "Tombstone of L&D". Next, click on the Tombstone of L&D, which has the appearance of a tombstone. Click it and then choose, "Add neighbor to family". Go through all the names until you see "Bella". Click on her name and she should appear. This is important: you should not leave the lot, because if you do and re-enter the house, Bella will be gone. You must make her a controllable Sim and click on a computer or newspaper and select "Find Own Place". She will be put in the family bin when you return to your neighborhood view, and then you can merge her with the Goth house.

One odd thing which may happen is if you continue your game and have the other members of the family get married / have children, and then restore Bella, she may have memories of those events happening. This is also known to happen with other deceased / unplayable sims.

With the inSIMenator
The sectionals you are going to need are the Summoner, QuickRelations, FamilyTree, and MortalityAdjustor. Click on the summoner and find Bella's name. Click on it, and she will appear beside the summoner. Click the QuickRelations as Mortimer and choose Mutual Relations/Bella/Mutual Love. Then click on the family tree and choose Set as my Spouse/Bella. This will fix any relationship confusion. After doing that, have Mortimer ask Bella to move in. She will accept. Then exit, and save the game, but make sure that Bella is performing an action when you do so. When you come back, it will say that she has died on another lot. Click on the Mortality Adjustor and select "Resurrection-&gt;Bella Goth." No more disappearing Bellas for you!

Or Click the Mortality Adjustor then select "Resurrection"(Make sure that Bella is already dead). Then click Bella Goth. She will be back, but make sure that before you exit the lot that she is doing something(just to be safe) and I guarantee you, she will never disappear again!

With fixed templates
Tarlia's version of Pleasantview has already fixed and restored Bella to a working, playable state. When first played, she is a townie. To move her back into the Goth manor, simply spawn the Tombstone of Life and Death, select "Add Neighbor to Family", and click "More" until her name appears on the list. Click on her name and she should be rejoined with her family.

Strangetown Bella
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 the game and eventually lead to corruption.

If the player insists to reunite this Bella with the Goths anyway, the safest way to do this would be to extract Bella's appearance using SimPE, clone her in BodyShop, re-create her in CAS, set her family relationships and ties using SimPE, and then moving her into the Goth household.
