Bella Goth

I always wondered if the age gap between them makes things difficult... Especially since she seems to have no aversion to being a surrogate for my Sim couples. :wink:

It must be lonely in that big ‘ole house.

I don't really think Bella fits in with her family. She likes to party and flirt around. Nothing goth about her. Morty is old enough to be her father. I have no qualms about luring her away from that glum manor and her gloomy kids.

I agree Nindigo!

I often see Bella go to restaurants alone in my game. I never really see Mortimer at any community lots. Seems a bit sad/lonely, honestly.

She booked a table for two here but she was all alone. It is a burger place though, so maybe Mortimer thought it was beneath him to dine there, lmao:

For some reason the nanny I used once has full friendship with my entire household, so he's constantly calling everyone to hang out.

She's good friends with one of my sims in my old save and she acts very similarly. She's always texting to ask if she can come hang out, get a bite to eat with her, grab some drinks, etc. I was playing with Seasons a few days ago and she texted my sim asking if she could come over to her house on both Easter and Love Day. I was a bit surprised because you'd think she'd be spending the holidays with her children and husband, just as my sim was doing. I declined on those instances, but often accept on occasions where my sim(s) aren't busy. The more I think about it, I start to theorize as to why Bella may be so attached to certain sims. My first thought is the age gap between her and Mortimer; she probably just craves company from sims closer to her age. I imagine there are instances where she and Mortimer can't relate due to their age gap and differences in dispositions. Also, even though she seems like a very good mother, she's likely a tad overwhelmed having so much responsibility at such a relatively young age. My point is, I'm trying to rationalize her actions and not be so annoyed every time she texts or calls my sim. :lol: She really makes a great friend, even if a little clingy.

P.S. @Lishacake, I love the way you made-over Bella! She looks so beautiful! :smile:

Actually Bob and Betty Newbie are in Sims 4, it's just they have went through some changes, but Bob and Eliza Pancakes are Bob and Betty Newbie.

I always just headcanon that the Goths have an open marriage. I mean Bella and Mortimer both will always be out flirting it up. I honestly feel like the game even has it coded for Bella to be easier to start a romantic relationship with than other Sims.

That they are, and are a bit different in 4 than they were originally. Such as for Bella, in the original she embraced the "Addams Family" lifestyle that inspired their creation. By 4 she's become more an uptown girl. I think we can blame Don Lothario for that.
Such as with the Newbie/Pancakes. Elizabeth was charming and sweet originally, but now she has become a needy sycophant who needs to be locked in a basement.
