As we all know, there was much debate about Bella Goth in the Sims 2. Where was she? Was there more than one? Well, it looks like the Sims Team has given us a new Goth to figure out... Meet Lolita Goth. She's buried in the Goth Family's home graveyard, but even though she bears the Goth name, she shows up in no one's family tree. We know she's a Young Adult, and we know that she died by being electrocuted: (In case you didn't know, there's a symbol on every tombstone that tells you how the sim died.) There are two theories that seem the most likely. One is that she was Gunther Goth's first wife, who died before they could have children. The second theory is that she was actually Victor Goth's first wife. (Gunther's father, Mortimer's Grandfather) Based on how she's dressed, I'd say she's more from the 70's, which would put her age more in line with being Gunther's first wife, in my humble opinion. Because she intrigues me, I've given myself a mini-challenge of sorts. I've decided to bring Lolita Goth back to life, and marry her back into the Goth family. Now, Mortimer and Bella belong together, so I can't mess that up. Since Cornilia and Gunther had already aged to elder by the time I got to the Goth house, I had them adopt a boy, who I named Jasper. Jasper (like me) has become obsessed with Lolita, and has made it his life's mission to bring her back from the dead. (He's mourning her in the above pic) I've taken pics of the long journey, and will try to post this as a story called "Looking for Lolita Goth". I've been faced with much drama and many set backs in this quest, but I won't rest until Lolita is back in the clan. *Also, the story will serve as a tutorial for the whole playable ghost, ambrosia-back-from-the-dead scenario. It takes ALOT of time! Lol! If anyone else is interested in doing this, I have discovered all her traits. They are: Hopeless Romantic, Childish, Chariamatic, Bookworm, and Great Kisser. I cheated to give Jasper the same traits, which made it easy for them to become friends. And this was just too cute not to show you: This is Lolita sleeping on Jasper's bed.

Very interesting, Jill! So far, I haven't even taken any of my sims to the cemetary. I need to do that soon because I'm curious about what it looks like. I know you are in heaven with all this ghost business, though!

I am! It's quite a job to get a playable ghost, which is what you have to do before you can bring one back from the dead. Even as an un-playable ghost, you get to have relationships with them. I'm working harder for this than any sim thing I can remember - mostly because I can't cheat or hack it! Lol!

Not being able to hack or cheat is a good thing for you... for a change! I can't wait to see how it turns out. ;D Pssst! You still haven't gotten your simself posted up there for me.

I remade her & put her up on the ex, but haven't put her in mega yet. I'll be a good girl & do it now.

Well, the same ghosts weren't coming around every day. Lolita only shows up every few days. Also, they don't show up unless their headstones are in the yard. (I keep them all in a little cemetery right at the house - I've moved them around toput husbands & wives next to eachother.) After playing the house for a good long time - most of the elder Goth's lifespan - the founders have been appearing at the house every night. The 2 grandfathers, Victor Goth & Simon Crumplebottom show up first. They like to play on computers. Later during the night, the 2 gramdmothers show up. They both like to read - Gretle Goth & Prudence Crumplebottom. I had the new boy, Jasper, talk to them every night, to build relationships with them. I had him sleeping most of the day, so he'd be awak when Lolita showed up, so since she so rarely made an appearance, I had him befriend his grandparents. It wasn't until Gunther and Cornilia both died from old age that - I think 3 days later, I got the option to bring a headstone to the science lab. That's how you get a playable ghost. I hope that helps!

I'm having a blast! I just got up to having playable ghosts in that house. The good news is, once someone gets the option to take the headstone to the science lab, they KEEP the option, so I can (if I wanted to) take the whole legacy up there & make them playable. Once they're playable, they move into the house and are there 24/7. (when they're not playable, they disappear between 6 and 7 am, coming out again after 9 pm) It's free the first time they get the opportunity to take the headstone, then it costs $5000 for each one you want ressurected after that.
A Lolita update: She is now playable for me (but still a ghost until I can make her Ambrosia) and her family tree contains no one but her! Her LTW is Golden tongue/golden fingers, and she comes with a story book (Special Snowflake) and a Charisma book in her backpack.

Jilly, I think I left you a message on a quicker way to skill on Pixx's Sims3 thread & a more detailed account of Ambrosia, that has been tested & works!

Are you gonna try the Ambrosia? It actually gives them a body instead of them being like usable ghost

Lolita, still in ghost form, is now engaged to Jasper Goth. They are planning a lovely graveyard wedding with hopefully all the ghosts in attendance! (and yes, there'll be pics!) I'm going to have her have babies before and after the ambrosia, just to see if there's a difference.
