Bella's Disappearance Theory

I was watching this video by Plumbella on this theory about Bella's abduction and at a point they imply that Michael was in the science career.

1) Michael Bachelor was never intended to be a scientist. In Sims 2 he has high fitness level, while in SIms 3 he had the athletic trait. Before Dina married him, she had the trait to marry a rich sim. He was probably a famous sportist. There's no evidence in any sims game that he had science/logic traits.
2) Sims 2 clones can't be accessed in regular game, so they aren't clues to the mystery and were probably a mistake. Also, in Sims 2 when a sim gets cloned the outcome has opposite gender and in Sims 3 we have clones with the same gender, but its way in the future in Oasis Landing. Between Sims 2 and Oasis Landing someone probably figured it out how to fix that issue, but not when Michael and Skip were cloned.
3) If you return Bella to Pleasantview tries to rebuild her relationship with Mortimer, and it doesn't work... its because the chemistry system wasn't released with the base game. This feature was added later with an Expansion Pack and by that time the devs probably couldn't edit older premade sims to fit the new system. And, in Sims 2 console Bella seems extremely worried to return to her kids and her husband, because she loves all of them (or does she?!).
4) Lunar Lakes description implies that "survivors" (probably kidnap survivors?) got stranded in a new world after their spaceship was disabled. I think that means the technology wasn't their. They probably escaped Sixam on said spaceship and wouldn't know how to re-enabled it as they didn't recognize the technology. The Bella from Lunar Lakes died of old age, maybe the crystals aged her more quickly, but I believe that she had a "normal" life in that planet before dying. But, following Lunar Lakes storyline, she would've never returned like in the Sims 2 console and you have to ignore the consoles (I love most console premade sims, but I'm ok with it... I hated that Nervous Subject was in a straight relationship and died in that game).
5) I like the idea that maybe Bella Goth had an affair with Skip Broke, and thats would explain why Brandi Broke would've killed him and how she would be involved in the rest of the neighborhoods drama. She's also acquaintances with both Dina and Nina. Maybe the twins weren't so bad and needed a good reason to get rid of Bella without feeling guilty.

  • I've sent what I wrote here on Alex's tumblr, just to open up a discussion and they just brushed me off saying this:

    Bruh.

    Calm down.

    Let us enjoy things.

    And in case you didn’t pick it up SIMS 3 IS A SLIGHTLY ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE BECAUE ALEXANDER WAS THERE TO WRECK SHIT UP SO OBBBBVIOUSLY THEYRE GONNA BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT.



    I’ve literally been on this since late September and I’m sick AND Tom Hanks passed through my town like 2 weeks before he got coronavirus so I could have coronavirus idk probably not tho.

    Don’t.

    Mess with me.


    I want to say that I didn't have any intentions to be mean at any point. Its a theory, and those thigns are called theories because they aren't confirmed as facts. They can be refuted, and I was just pointing the plot holes, while everything else seemed fine. Like, Sims 3 isn't an alternative universe, the devs mentioned a bunch of times that it was in the same universe as Sims 1/2, but Sims 4 is an alternate universe and thats why I posted this on Sims 4 part of the forum. Don Lothario and Alexander Goths time traveling probably created a new universe, but only after SIms 3, not during Sims 3.
  • The beauty of 'theories' is they can be anything. Event the craziest ones have some merit and at the end of the day we will never know so why not let our imaginations run free. I always like to think that Bella and Mortimer were an arranged marriage- maybe Cassandra organised the abduction so she didnt have to contend with her mother's beauty anymore? Or she wanted her out of the way to control Alexander and the Goth wealth because their father was on his last days......but then Dina comes along and steals it from under her...... :wink:
  • @Misslizard I love theories too, I just think they can be powered up if they avoid conflicting with canon facts. Also, a bunch of youtubers were making videos reacting to this theory as if it were all true when I could easily see the plot holes. Anyway, I hope they continue Sims 2 timeline in Sims 5. I really want to see Cecilia Goth in a main series game, and I also would love to see sims 4 characters like the Pancakes in a cohesive timeline with actual backstories... Like... Maybe divorced and with an older Iggy?! hehe
  • My theory is that Bella went back in time & accidentally erased her younger self, then realizing that she just created a paradox, she looked up a mad Scientist named Doc Brown.
    He made her a child youth potion & told her to drink it so she would be a child again, to relive her childhood all over again. So that the paradox would stop & the timeline would be restored.
  • @SERVERFRA than she would be stuck in a never ending cycle of growing older and disappearing (cuz she returns to the past) as a sacrifice to preserve all timelines?! Then Strangetown wouldn't be set the same time as Pleasantview... hm... she would show up in Strangetown in the moment she returned to the past! cool storyline.
  • But that assumes paradoxes are a stable time loop. There is no evidence either way.

  • Mhm! We can suspect, or elaborate theories based upon the state of Pleasantview when we first load the game, but there's no concrete evidence relating anybody to Bella's abduction. If Phoenix Wright was defending Dina Caliente (I mean c'mon... she's guilty for realsies!), he'd have but to raise an objection to close the trial with a 'non guilty' verdict.
    Still, I'd be veeeery curious to hear Riverview Don Lothario's witness testimony o:)
