At the same time, in-game, Mortimer is an elder with only 7 days left to live. You also find out that the Caliente sisters moved in just around the same time as Bella’s disappearance, and one of the sisters, Dina, is currently having an affair with Mortimor. In Pleasantview, you were introduced to the mysterious disappearance of the aforementioned Bella Goth, the beautiful bride of the loaded Mortimor Goth. The sims here were not just placeholders or people for you to interact with for leveling up your own charisma skills, but they had their own missions and goals. When you load into one of the three neighborhoods, the screen would immediately fill you in on the gossip of the town. In The Sims 2, we were greeted off the bat with drama. But what really intrigued me was the story in the background of the game. This exact reason is why I would make my character have a husband and kids, and when they went to work I would WooHoo with the maid (I was problematic at 12 years old I guess). The appeal of these games to most people, I would assume, is to create your character and live a fun lifestyle without the consequences of real-life actions. The Sims is a lifestyle interactive game developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts, where you create a sim, build a household, and control their day-to-day lives. Spoiler alert: this is not a lore lesson on Bella Goth, that still goes way over my head (but I will link a youtube video explaining her disappearance in the later paragraphs) Screenshot provided by author

Sure, there are pre-made characters to play as in The Sims 4 with small snippets of story in the corner, but nothing feels as interesting or compelling as The Sims 2. What do you mean there were mysterious sightings of Bella in Strangetown? Why was there a town dedicated to Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”? I’ve recently been getting back into my love for the Sims franchise, and I’ve noticed that there is less of a delivery of lore within the game. I needed to know who she was and who these other characters in the game were, and how they related to her disappearance. Would you believe me if I said that my favorite part about playing Sims was the preloaded characters already in the game? When I first started playing The Sims 2 as a child, I was drawn in by the immediate notice on the screen that a character named Bella Goth had gone missing.
