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:
