<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.

*'''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.

==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}}.

**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.

*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">[https://web.archive.org/web/20120605015012/http://thesims2.ea.com/community/bella_interview.php Interview with Bella Goth] on theSims2.com (web archive)</ref>

*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.

*Bella Goth, along with Mortimer Goth, [[Betty Newbie]], [[Bob Newbie]], and [[Daniel Pleasant]] are the only pre-made Sims to appear in all four of the main series games.

==[[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)
