Gender	Female
Age	Adult

Biography
Bella - her name in Italian means "beauty" and it fits her better than her red leather corset. Descended from a long line of occultists, mystics and decadents, she has thrown convention to the wind. Her disdain for the pedestrian and normal is only matched by her sense of ennui and isolation. She distracts herself from this world with a little organ practice and exotic gardening of the lethal variety.

see that the last two portraits in the marketing print are of Bella Goth.

Pianist: On SimStation Dance, some people say the pianist in the R&B song music video is Bella Goth. This woman has the same skin tone and hairstyle as Bella, but her facial structure is different, she wears glasses, and her dress is a red version of Marisa Bendett's dress.
Milk: A "missing persons" photo of Bella Goth can be seen on the milk carton when Sims make cereal in The Sims 2. In The Sims 3, this is the Tragic Clown.
Hot Air Balloon: A little graphic that looks a lot like Bella Goth can be seen inside of the hot air balloon's basket with DreamBoat. Some people say that the Sims in question are Don and Blonde Bombshell.
Belladonna Cove Statue: Easily the most conspicuous Easter egg, there is a very tall, golden statue of Bella holding a platinum plumbbob that ships with the The Sims 2: Apartment Life expansion pack.
Broken Bella and Mortimer snow globe: One of the many hidden files found and posted on ModTheSims.
The broken Bella & Mortimer snow globe.
Fireplace: In the Goth family album, there is a picture of Cassandra and a modern looking fireplace. In another picture, the player can see Don kissing Cassandra, but the fireplace is changed to the most expensive one. Looking at the textures of the modern looking fireplace, there is a picture of Bella.
Music: There is a song under the Jazz section on the radio titled "Good Evening Bella".
Photograph: When blackmailing another Sim, there is a very pixelated image of a figure wearing a red corset.
Old Age: When a Sim dies of old age, a Hula Zombie will appear with the Grim Reaper. It looks like Bella Goth.
Bella Squared Record: If you look at the DJ booth, on the left-hand side where there are a stack of records arranged horizontally in a cage, rearrange the camera so it is looking at the one facing out from the booth, it will be a picture of the Bella Squared painting.
Prestidigitator: In the entertainment career track, the 10th level job's description says something about making Bella appear in smoke.
Game Designer: In the gamer career at level 10, the chance card refers to designing a game in which a couple is to be broken up. The choices are between having one member be abducted by aliens, or thinking of something else. If the player chooses the first option and gets a positive outcome, the text alludes to the Bella-was-abducted storyline, and the commercial success of The Sims 2.
Also in The Sims 2 Castaway for Nintendo DS, if the player builds the best house it will say "Only the Bella Goths of the island live here"
Fridge: There is a fridge in The Sims 2 (PSP) that is called The Chow Bella Fridge (although this can also be a reference to the Italian phrase "Ciao Bella"). There's also a fridge in The Sims 2 (console) that is called Chow Bella Bachelor Fridge.
Custom Painting: When player paints a custom painting, there are premade paintings of Bella Goth and the Goth Manor shipped with The Sims 2: FreeTime. These premade paintings have ideal size for Architecture Drafting Table.

Resurrection tip

This Sim can be resurrected with the Tombstone of Life and Death.

The Sims 3

Cover: Bella appears on the cover of The Sims 3.
Book: A book called "Where's Bella?" in the Sim's bookcase. A common theory is that this is The Sims equivalent of "Where's Waldo?" (or, in the UK, "Where's Wally?") There is also a book titled "Murder in Pleasantview" by Alexander Goth (though it could not be the as-yet-unborn Alexander from The Sims 2 unless time travel is involved), which could hint at an explanation of Bella's disappearance between The Sims and The Sims 2, given that alien abduction is not present in The Sims 3 base game.
Collectibles: Sims can collect space rocks called "Unusual Bellacite" after analyzing them.
Bookcase: There is a picture on the bookcase of what appears to be Bella from The Sims 2.
Already Retro CD Display Shelving: On top of the CD display shelves, there is a movie with a picture of Bella from The Sims 1.

Donation: If a Sim has the Good trait, one of the charities they can donate to is Bella Beneficiary.
Private Investigator: If a Sim is snooping for clues, they will remark, "This reminds me of when Bella went missing... I need to keep looking." However, since the game is set 50 years before the adult Bella disappeared, this makes little sense unless it's a reference to "Where's Bella?"
Sketch: When a Sim is sketching at the drafting table, they can sketch a black-and-white picture of Bella from The Sims 2, in her signature gown.
Painting: When a Sim paints a small painting, one possible picture they can create is of Bella, wearing her signature red dress and with her back turned, near Cassandra, who is in the white shirt and blue pants she wears in The Sims. They appear to be among gravestones (which makes sense for the Goth family), although it is hard to be sure because the picture is painted and texturized. A large painting, which is the one above Mortimer's bed in The Sims 2, can also be painted. Another large painting includes a couple on a balcony, The man wears a suit and the woman wears an elegant red dress, which indicates that they could be Mortimer and Bella.
Wallpaper: There's a wallpaper called "Bella Gothic Wallpaper" in The Sims 3: Generations.
Gravestone in Lunar Lakes: In the downloadable town, Lunar Lakes, there is a gravestone of Bella Goth on it. This version of Bella died of old age and can be resurrected. However, once resurrected, she looks somewhat different from the Sunset Valley Bella, with a zombie-like appearance (just like every other dead sim in Lunar Lakes).

PlasmaPunch Gyroscopic Conductor—Dimensional Gate Upgrade: When adventuring using the dimensional gate on PlasmaPunch Gyroscopic Conductor, Sims might encounter the following message:

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.

Furthermore, the players might receive the following messages randomly as the adventure progresses:

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.

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.

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, The Sims 3 Store released a limited edition painting in a collection called "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 "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 in the other 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^[TS]^[TSC]^[TS:BO]^[TS2] or a young adult^[TS4].
- It is possible to change her last name back to Goth through the city hall, brain enhancing machine^[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.^[1] 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 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,^[2] 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 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.^[3]
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)
