Maybe Bella isn't as dead as some of us would like to think.

There have always been two Darleens, also two Michaels and two Skips. The others are used for the photos from what I can gather. I've brought Skip back in my game and used the file with character data, but I've left the other alone, still with its "I am Dead" token intact. The thing is, I am certain Bella also had two files at the start, one showing her still alive and the other showing her dead (with no character data). The most relevant thing in all this though is Bella's file, which is way bigger than anyone else's. It also seems to have got bigger since Nightlife.
that could be as there are two Skip Broke Files .I didnt bother checking either.Bella for a dead sim she sure seems to have alot of Info in her file. but what was noteworthy in the second Darleen Dreamer file was that she had no ghost flags checked but the one with the correct Info had the appropriate ghost flags checked.in My Game I have one less Nanny now yesterday I was playing one of my families that Mom is a patrol officer and Dad is a professional party guest. my family was eating as Dad prepared a meal before he left for work for the two kids the Nanny Kendal Lawson arrived at the house on time just before Mom went to work.the couple has a baby as well and two daughters at Uni. all of a sudden I see Calista Despret with the baby when seconds before Kendal had the baby and was feeding her.I couldnt figure out what was going on so I dropped the walls of the house looking for Kendal ,I find Kendal at the front door where she peed her self just before coming back in the house and the buttons all grey out and sure enough here comes the grim reaper.Im like ok which of my sims is he after now? turned out he was after Kendal. after I moved her grave to the cemetary. I saved and exited the game.look in Sim PE and discover all the appropriate ghost flags were checked for Kendal .However SimPE indicated that at the time of death Kendal actually still had 11 day left weird when I had a nanny eaten by the cowplant there was no new nanny immediately there but this time just minutes before Kemdal died a replacement was there

Preface: I don't play Pleasantview; I use SimPE only for recoloring, so I haven't messed with character files; I don't visit the BBS so don't know about their 'Bella spam.'
But I'll second (fifth? fourteenth?) the opinion that something about Bella ~ and/or "Bella Clone" ~ has been changed. I do play Strange Town, and have been trying for quite some time to get one of my Sims in particular to meet her and form some kind of relationship. Prior to Nightlife, that was impossible, as any time I spotted her, she was just walking by (usually on a Community lot), and clicking on her got "no actions available."
However, since installing Nightlife, not only is Bella (Bella-Clone?) accessible, but she's showed up several times to welcome new Sims to Strange Town. Some of them are even attracted to her, and vice versa. Overall, she behaves much more like a regular Townie, and not some mysterious recluse who can't be approached. Maybe because they added Mrs. Crumplebottom for that role. :P

I thought the very first Maxis patch was supposed to fix the issue of not being able to meet Bella in Strangetown? Or so I've heard, I never played that neighborhood for any extensive period of time.

Hmmm..that's odd. I bought TS2 in late February, had it only a few weeks before the first patch came out and I don't think I played Strangetown prior to patching it but I could be wrong. Anyway, my point is, my sims were always able to interact with the Bella in Strangetown (I even had Nervous Subject engaged to her), long before NL.

I dunno. My game is/was patched, but I was never able to click on her.
I play Strange Town quite a lot, too ~ it's the only Maxis default neighborhood still in my game.
