Additionally, "bella donna" in Italian means "beautiful lady," which may refer to Bella Goth.

*Many of Belladonna Cove's pre-made families have recent [[memories]] of moving out and in to a new home.
*Unlike the pre-made deceased Sims of [[Pleasantview]] and [[Strangetown]], most pre-made deceased Sims in Belladonna Cove have some memories, but not a complete set of life memories.
*It is interesting to note that there is a [[Secret lot|"secret" lot]] in a corner of the map, which can be accessed by playing with the view mode, or by pressing 'tab'. The house on this lot looks like some retreats in ''Bon Voyage'', and it has a value of around §36,000.
*Unlike the other neighborhoods, there are no male maids in Belladonna Cove.
*Unlike the other neighborhoods, there are no female [[Social Bunny|social bunnies]] in Belladonna Cove. This can be proven with [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]].
*The industrial factory and pig balloon is likely based off of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Floyd Pink Floyd] album "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animals_(Pink_Floyd_album) Animals] "
**However, all Belladonna Cove Social Bunnies must be manually moved to the NPC Sim Bin using SimPE in order for them to show up in-game, since none of them are placed in the NPC Sim Bin at the start of the game.
*There are no pre-made [[Repo-man|repo-men]] in Belladonna Cove. They will be generated by the game once a Sim's red bills explode.
*The industrial factory and pig balloon is likely based off ofon the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Floyd:Pink Floyd|Pink Floyd]] album "''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animals_:Animals (Pink_Floyd_album)Pink Floyd album)|Animals] "]''.
*A strange glitch occurs in Belladonna Cove where most of the ancestors of pre-made families cannot be married to their former wife/husband. This glitch applies to all the families in the neighborhood with the exception of the Green, Gere, Weir, and Cordial families.
*A glitch in the neighborhood exists where the gravestones that were originally supposed to appear in the neighborhood would simply vanish, likely due to a developer's oversight. This can be corrected with the [http://meetme2theriver.livejournal.com/63030.html fixed neighborhood templates] and the [https://modthesims.info/d/456523 Hoodchecker] tool.<ref>https://modthesims.info/t/495778</ref>
