EXCUUUUSE ME!?!?!? Desiderata Valley, neglected!? You are insane, aren't you! :vikingb:

I'm sorry. I thought Desiderata was neglected but I am wrong. I do LOVE the Contrarys but I feel that the Desiderata families don't have the same depth as Pleasantview and Strangetown. Hmm...... I only guessed that DV was neglected because it came shipped with an EP and not the main game. And the other EP hood (Riverblossom Hills) is kinda neglected compared to the original base game hoods. But I have seen in the meantime that Desiderata Valley ain't neglected at all.

Apprently in the making of TS2 they deleted Bella by mistake and did'nt have enough time to bring her back so they came up with all this 'kidnapped' thing.I think if the kidnapped thing wasnt here the goths would'nt be as popular, yes they we're in the TS1 and Momiter's[sp] parents were in TS1 but Brandi Broke's parents wre in TS1 ( Bob & Betty Newbie) but she's not as popluar as the Goths.
Anyway i think the should forget Bella but maybe EA will bring her back as a elder. But i want a whole lot of new sims! Maybe to link the games together just have Dunstin Broke or Anglea Plesant or Julliette Capp Or Alexander Gother as a elder.
But i don't no, we will just have to wait till we play TS3!

I think the polls on Thesims2.com are a little more than just polls. They had a poll about which expansion people would like and they said Apartments and lo and behold, Apartments is coming out. One of the more recent polls was which is your favorite neighborhood. Unfortunately (for me), Pleasentview won by a landslide. So i'm betting they're going to stick with the suburban theme for awhile.

I hope they make references to TS1 still. Kind of a nod at the people who actually have been playing the game since it first came out. I never end up playing any of the already in game characters, but it's still nice that they do that.

I would be suprised if they didn't mention the goths, but I doubt it will be as big of a thing as in TS2. They'll probably focus more on the Caliente's or even Don or something.

Judging by the poll that said pleasentview was the favorite, I doubt they'll include much from Strangetown or Veronaville. They came in a far last to even Riverblossom and Desiderata.

Sorry, you're wrong. You forgot the Pleasants; they've been there since The Sims and were available as a family to move in from the sim bin. They like the Brokes and Goth have expanded from the original family.

Don't forget the Pleasants - they where in TS1 too. So thats three families from TS1 in Pleasant view... which is more that the other neighbourhoods, which has a grand total of zero.

EDIT: Didn't see Anyerfillag's post above, sorry!

Anywho, I'm not overly bothered about Bella. I never played her story anyway. I would like it if she's included, or maybe at least Alexander is.

I still say Bella is an alien who wiped out Pleasantview

But now we know that there's only one 'hood in the game, there's no guarantee that there's still a Goth family in it.

I want a Pleasantview SuperRace of Don Lothario's multiple offspring

I think there should just be a cemetary with some of the more popular characters [Cassandra, Don, Nina, Dina, Mortimer, Lilith, Angela, etc.]

Then maybe Bella could just remain a random townie. That way, it's like she's immortal or something.

Oh, I adore the Bella thing. I'm making a fanfic of it soon ^_^

And obviously, I <3 pleasantview because...
wellll....
I live in it. Pleasantview, Canada <3 Harhar.

I hope we finally get some closure with the whole bell mystery.



And yeah, I played desiderata until I filled it to the brim with useless families and moved on to Verona.

I hope not, that would get annoying
I hope we get all new characters

I go somewhat between this two lines. For some reasons I'd love to have the old TS2-TS1 characters in TS3. I like pre-made families/ties/dramas and it would add a lot of continuity to the saga.
Yet, I'm pretty positive we wont get any of the older family in TS3, for one simple reason.
In TS1 there was no such thing as aging. Pre-made families were supposed to be exactly the same..forever, and the only way to change it was killing the sims (!) by setting them on fire or something like that.
This made possible to bring TS1 families in TS2.
But, in TS2, gamers had a whole lot of new chances to change pre-made families! From their looks to their life, making them grow up, getting married, having kids, dying etc.
Every sims-player choose a different life path for their sims. I have myself choosen very different lives every time I re-started TS2 from scratch!
Wouldn't it be weird to have TS2 characters like Bella Goth or her children, since they would probably never had the life *we* decided back in TS2?
Edit: btw, I think I saw in some screenshot the name of OFB's Malcom Landgraab.

I've never knew about this! This would explain a lot tho.
Anyone ever thought that Bob&Betty Newbie were supposed to be in the game along Brandi? Whe you look trought the Brokes' family album, there are pictures of baby Brandi and adults Bob and Betty, wich led my to think that maybe the producers wanted to have the Newbie family in the game as well.


:O I don't remember about them! My poor memory..!!



(forget my english, I'm particularly wasted today!)

There is no Bella Goth mystery. The Sims has no storyline other than the one in your head.

Bella will be there. TS3 is a prequel to TS1. All the adults from TS1 are kids in TS3. Note the following screenshot name on the official site:

Bella and Mortimer are the children playing in that shot.
Larger version (link to Snooty Sims).

I just wanted to say this! haha TS3 is a prequel indeed. I read al these ideas of the bella mystery and how it would proceed in TS3 and i thougt. Do they still not know that TS3 is a prequel to TS1.

But okay now you guys know.. :howdy:

I killer her and her daughter

the bella mystery annoyed me. for a start bella is going to be alive at the same time as her great decendants according to family tree, no one thought of that did they?
nah the bella mystery was annoying becuase the truth is there is no answer, except t'ere is a bella in strangetown and that just make things worse.
SO no I think bella mystery was a mistake, it's flawed it overall sucks
(I am thinking about spawning Bella in the future were she will meet her great desendant after being taken into the future by the aliens who abducted her. good idea actually, thanks for the topic I never would of thought of it other wise)

edit: oh and about the olive specter mystery, Nervous subject is her and the grim reapers child and I always thought that she just had bad luck and people happened to accidently die around her, like a curse or somethign

Nooo...i doubt it.
As someone said before; They will have new characters.
On the sims 3 website i read the blog of the lady who is
in charge of creating the plots and characters, and
she didn't mention anything about bella goth.
Thank God.

Edit: nevermind, i read somewhere that
they were making bella as a little girl.

nyehh.
D:

Really? o_O
I never knew that.

I hope they include young Brandi and Skip - always wanted to set them up for another fall

bella is probaly dead by now
