[[File:PV Bella Goth.jpg|thumb|250px|Arguably the most iconic mystery has been the disappearance of [[Bella Goth]] in ''[[The Sims 2]]''.]]
Multiple '''mysteries''' often involving certain [[Sim]]s, [[household]]s or [[lot]]s can be found in [[The Sims series|''The Sims'' series]]. These mysteries are commonly introduced through [[biography|biographies]] and family or neighborhood descriptions, but can also be conceived through more subtle ways like a [[gravestone]] or a [[memory]]. Below is a list of the most prevalent mysteries and popular theories.

}}'''[[Skip Broke]]''' is said to have died in a "suspicious pool ladder accident". The [[pool]] in the backyard of [[55 Woodland Drive]], where Skip [[drowning|drowned]], is very small and doesn't have a ladder.
 
In ''[[The Sims|The Sims 1]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2]]'', Sims couldn't get out of the pool without a ladder. Many players would intentionally drown their Sims by removing the ladders while Sims were swimming in the pool. It's possible Skip's death is a reference to this popular practice to quickly get rid of unwanted Sims.
 
Skip can be [[Game guide:Bringing Sims back to life|resurrected]] even though he doesn't have a grave.
Line 138 ⟶ 134:
<blockquote>Around the turn of the century, [[List of minor Sims#L|Gregory Landgraab]] suddenly came into a great deal of money and became one of the wealthiest landowners around. This was never explained, though many theories suggest foul play.</blockquote>
 
When the player's Sim then questions [[List of minor Sims#O|Spencer Oswald]], the Landgraab family's accountant, he claims that the Landgraabs are honest now, but he admits that it wasn't always so. He then tells "a tale of love, intrigue, and illegal land dealings".
 
The name [[Landgraab]] is also a reference to the illegal activity of "land grabbing". In the description for the [[Bluewater Real Estate Office]] it is mentioned that the Landgraab family "took control of all the land through sheer force and bribery".
Even one of the earliest known ancestors of the [[Landgraab family]], the infamous [[Admiral Landgraab]], was known for "mercantile ventures, gunboat diplomacy and inevitable treaty breaking that became synonymous with the Landgraab family to this day". The name [[Landgraab]] is also a reference to the illegal activity of "land grabbing".

Was Pixie Carton murdered?
}}Many of the deceased Sims in [[Twinbrook]] died under mysterious circumstances. They all have pale green skin, grey hair and walk barefoot. Some of them are buried on the [[Ivy Hill Graveyard]] but many are buried elsewhere. [[Steward Curious]] is notable for being the only pre-made Sim to have died by [[Meteor|meteor]]. He is an ancestor of the [[Curious family]] who have an unusual interest in [[aliens]].
 
The twin sisters [[Lacy Darer|Lacy]] and [[Macy Clay|Macy]] were married to [[Juan Darer]] and [[Harwood Clay]] respectively. Both of thethem died as [[young adults]] in a [[fire]], that may or may not have been caused by one of Juan's many inventions. Lacy is buried in [[Junkyard#Juan's Pick 'n Pull|Juan's Pick'n Pull]] junkyard and Macy's [[gravestone]] is outside the [[Cleanesque Laundromat]].
 
[[Pixie Carlton]] died of [[electrocution]] and her [[urn]] can be found in the home of the [[Racket family]], which led some players to speculate that Pixie was in fact murdered by the Rackets who are [[criminal]]s. Some believe that she is [[Sofia Carlton]]'s mother or older sister. It is stated that nobody knows where Sofia's wealth came from, so it is possible that she inherited it from Pixie. It is also possible that [[Bill Racket]], who's [[Lifetime Wish]] is to become a Gold Digger, killed Pixie in order to steal the inheritance from Sofia.
Line 224 ⟶ 220:
There have been many theories among players about how Lolita is related to the [[Goth family]]. Some think that she may be [[Gunther Goth]]'s first wife and true love. When Gunther's sister [[Frida Goth|Frida]] didn't appear in the base game, others have speculated that Lolita could be a replacement for her. However, Frida returned in [[Moonlight Falls]].
 
''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'' also introduced [[Samuel Goth]], Gunther and Frida's eccentric uncle, who married [[Olivia Goth|Olivia]], a woman much younger and poorer than he.

== The Sugar Skulls and The Chupacabra ==
Line 290 ⟶ 287:
|Row 4 info = What happened to the explorers?
 
Is there a Chupacabra, or did something else happen to the group?}}To complete the Day of The Dead challenge, a Sim must find 10 '''[[Sugar SkullsSkull]]s''' and put them on a shelf. Each one has a description, that when put together, say this:
 
''Oasis Springs residents were reporting sightings of a mysterious creature. Descriptions claimed it was the size of a hog, with the skin of a rat, and spines along its back from head to tail. As complaints mounted, ten intrepid adventurers set across the desert in search of the beast. Members of the group reported a sense of unease at night, with the distinct impression they were being watched. During the eighth night, the group awoke to screams in the distance, someone had disappeared from their tent. At dawn, two members agreed to remain behind in the hopes their lost teammate would return. They were never heard from again. With hope dwindling, the remaining members of the group split up upon discovering diverging tracks in the sand. Half the team descended into a long abandoned mine tunnel. It would be their last glimpse of sunlight as they lowered themselves into the depths. The other half explored a nearby canyon. Some say the river there simple simply swept away. Others say they were taken. A lone survivor stumbled back into town. She was the first member of the team that had disappeared, desert madness had overtaken her. She could only repeatedly mutter one name... El Chupacabra!''
 
The story doesn't have that much importance to the rest of ''The Sims 4'' storyline, but maybe there's more that we're missing.
