==Franchise overview==
The Sims is a life simulation series developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts. The franchise has sold nearly 200 million copies worldwide, and it is one of the best-selling video game series of all time. The series is technically a spin-off of the SimCity series, although as opposed to the city building simulator that it's parent series is based off, The Sims is more about the titular Sims that live their lives with input from the player. The games lack traditional goals, being more akin to a sandbox where the player defines their own goals to complete, although some elements of the game have check-list progression that rewards the player with special traits for the Sims that complete them or special furniture or other benefits.
The Sims has four main installments, which all feature expansion packs that expand the scope of the game, which often includes elements like adding supernatural creatures and features to the game or adding themed content that may focus around celebrity life styles or island living or even going to university. The Sims has continued to strongly expand around letting players live out any life they please, with new installments even allowing for the creation of transgender Sims and further fleshing out LGBT+ content. 
The Sims also features a multitude of spin-offs, many of which are locked off to Nintendo's handheld systems or in the case of the MySims series, are exclusively locked off to the Wii console. As such, the series actually has quite a lot of history with Nintendo as a whole- Dr. Wright himself from SimCity has appeared in every Smash game since Super Smash Bros. Brawl and his likeness has appeared in the Zelda series.
==Challenger Pack==
As part of the Challenger Pack, the following content is added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Bella Goth is added as a playable character along with a wealth of brand new content for the game. She is labelled fighter #79 and is based off her appearance in Sims 4. At the moment, her alternate costumes have not been confirmed so far.
Bella Goth is a Sim that appears in every single mainline installment of the Sims franchise in the base game, with her and her husband Mortimer Goth often considered one of the more prominent Sim families in the series. She also has the most in-depth lore of any of the pre-existing Sims in the series, with the series following her as a adult, child, abducted and missing, and even elderly. Bella Goth is a hidden Sim in Sims 2, as she was abducted by aliens in the storyline of that game and has been missing for a bit. 
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Bella Goth pulls from an array of actions that Sims can perform across the series, which are impacted by her mood that changes under certain conditions. She has a total of three states she can be in, which are visually shown through her Plumbob that floats over her head:
*Green: Bella's Plumbob is in a default Happy state. This is what she will normally be in and considered a baseline. 
*Yellow: Bella's Plumbob is in a Troubled state. This occurs when Bella hasn't performed one of her special moves in a while and will add additional power to it when it is used, resetting it back to Green.
*Red: Bella's Plumbob is in a Miserable state. This occurs when Bella's needs have not been met for a long time, usually because one of her special moves has not been used for a long time. This adds a lot of additional power to the moves that fill her needs but makes most of her moves much more aggressive as a result. She also can't take that much knockback in this state. 
The Plumbob changes based off four different needs. Each of her special moves, if used, will fulfill one of these needs, either by a little bit or a lot. These bars are shown above Bella's icon and are effected by different factors and can be solved by a special move she has or through other factors from her opponent. 
*Hunger - This need is filled by the Grilled Cheese special attack. If Bella throws the Grilled Cheese instead of eating it, it will not fill her need. Hunger needs drops over time and based off how much Bella moves. Food items and healing items can also fill this need.
*Energy - This need is filled by the Murphy Bed special attack. If Bella rests for a total of 4 seconds, the maximum, it will completely fill the bar but otherwise it will filled out only a little bit. Energy need drops as both time progresses and as Bella moves around.
*Social - This need is filled out by the Abduction special attack. It will fill her social need most of the time unless it's in the red. She can also taunt to fill her social need. Social need drops as time progresses.
*Hygiene - This need is filled out by the Tardisian All-in-One Bathroom special attack, which will complete the need all the time unless the bathroom is launched. She has less lag with this move if it's filled up completely, so optimal play is not letting hygiene dip too low. Hygiene is effected by movement and and drops when hit by Inkling's paint, although is also lowered if attacked with water attacks.
====Moveset====
	Name 	Description
	Grilled Cheese 	Bella summons a Grilled Cheese sandwich to her side and follows up by eating it, fulfilling her Hunger need. If the player taps the control stick when Bella summons the Grilled Cheese sandwich, it is instead thrown and deals 5%/8%/11% damage depending on Bella's mood. The Grilled Cheese, when put on the ground, can be grabbed as a projectile by any character although if they walk over it instead causes them to slip.
	Murphy Bed 	Bella unfolds a Murphy Bed, which unfolds outwards in the direction that Bella is facing. Holding down on the input will allow Bella to get some rest and tank through some attacks via super armor for up to 4 seconds, filling some of her Energy need. The Murphy Bed does 8%/12%/17% damage and has a long range, but can backfire on Bella if the bed is continually attacked or hit with a strong attack, causing her to get crushed by the Murphy Bed as it folds back up.
	Abduction 	Bella sends out a signal to aliens to abduct her, sending her floating up under a strange light before dropping out at an diagonal angle. Bella does 6%/8%/11% damage when released and hits a opponent and projectiles are stopped and shot if they get caught in the tractor beam to deal doubled damage. Has a cooldown of 7 seconds. This fulfills her social need.
	Tardisian All-in-One Bathroom	Bella hops into the Tardisian All-in-One Bathroom to shower, fulfilling her Hygiene need. When summoning the Tardisian All-in-One Bathroom, it comes from a bit above and can crush and bury opponents for 10%/15%/20% damage. It won't launch but deal a ton of damage and can spike off ledges. However, it does have endlag because Bella hops in to shower every time and stays there longer if her Hygiene need is low. As such, hitting the Tardisian All-in-One Bathroom will launch it and turn it into a projectile that deals 12% damage to opponents and Bella cannot escape until it lands on the ground again, getting damaged for doubled the damage of the attack that launched it.
	Cowplant 	Bella Goth plants down a Cowplant seed which emerges into a full-grown Cowplant. The Cowplant proceeds to stick it's tongue out, which has a piece of cake at the end. If any character gets too close to it, they will be swallowed by the Cowplant and eaten for 50% damage. If their pre-existing damage is below 100%, they are spat out with a heavy decrease to their jump for a short time of about 10 seconds. If their damage is over 100%, they are instead eaten whole and Bella can collect a Fairy Bottle from getting near the Cowplant and grabbing it. The Cowplant can only eat one character before disappearing. If the Cowplant doesn't eat after 7 seconds after it appears, it turns into a skeleton before falling apart and disappearing.
When Kirby copies Bella Goth, he gains the Plumbob and Bella Goth's Neutral Special: Grilled Cheese. His copied state acts slightly different than most others as he gains Bella Goth's mood and need gimmick but in a very simplified way. The Plumbob will change colors the more time passes that he doesn't use his neutral special, and then it will go back to green after he eats a grilled cheese sandwich. The varying power levels will still play into his move the long he doesn't use it. A hunger bar will appear above his icon and health and degrade as he moves around and over time at a slow rate. Looking into the code shows that Kirby loses hunger faster than Bella Goth.
This is rather fitting for Kirby as he only really seems to care for his hunger, which is infinite. He also sucks up his Grilled Cheese sandwich whole as opposed to chewing it. When throwing it, he shouts "Gwilled Chweese!", recorded by his voice actor Makiko Ohmoto.

Strangetown is a stage that comes bundled with the Fighter Pack. In the context of The Sims series, it is where Bella Goth was left by aliens in The Sims 2 with her memory erased. Bella Goth appears as a townie here with no memory of her family. It is a desert town that the player can live in, featuring multiple instances of past alien interaction and government presence. It also appears to be the loose inspiration for Strangerville, a game pack for the Sims 4 that deals with an alien presence infecting a town through spores. Strangetown is full of odd, strange things and tons of mystery, leaving it as a rather fascinating location in the minds of many Sims players. it's ties to Bella Goth also make it a fairly obvious stage to include with her. 
Strangertown in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is re-imagined as being a travel stage similar to Island Delfino with invisible walls are on both sides of the stage that are similar to the King of Fighters Stadium stage. These invisible walls block the respective blast lines on the left and right; these walls can be broken by dealing enough knockback to a fighter. The stage goes through three main locations and features numerous cameos from Sims across the entire Sims franchise which are detailed at the end of this description.
The stage begins in 73 Road to Nowhere, a small unoccupied house that is in the dead center of the stage. Fighters can fight on the flat desert ground near the house or take the action to the roof of the house, which has a fairly flat middle but it's roofs allow for angled fights at a slope. This area is considered especially dangerous because it's close to the upper blast line, although at lower percents this is considered less of a concern. Fighting near the edges of the left and right of the screen can also be dangerous at high percents because of the wall gimmick with knockback.
The stage then transitions to 1 Tesla Court after a sandstorm animation plays. In the sandstorm, the ground is flat but the invisible wall barriers are still active. The house is larger but features a ceilingless part of the house that gives characters room to attack inside the attic, which will become visible when a character is inside, removing the wall in front of the house. This is the safest part of the stage, but also has characters in tigher quarters, which can lead to more furious combos. There is also a tower to the right of the attic which is rather close to the upper blast line and a roof to the right, which is less close the upper blast line. 
The stage then transitions to 2 Cover Up Road after a sandstorm animation plays. In the sandstorm, the ground is flat but the invisible wall barriers are still active. The house features a rather high rise staircase to the upper blast line, which acts as a ramp. This can be somewhat safe as the rising elevation means attacks have a harder time landing at different elevations. The roofs can also be used as platforms but are fairly tiny, giving room to about two characters overall. The walls of the main house are solid and so is the roof. You can attack below the rising staircase of the stage, which also features some soft platforms. This is arguably the safest place to be as you can only be launched to the left, as you can use the others areas to tech and avoid being launched out of bounds.
