Another Sims 2 Movie Santa's Gone Goth
It’s Christmas Eve in Pleasantview, and something is deeply wrong in the Goth mansion. Mortimer Goth, once the town’s respected intellectual, is seen dressed in a tattered Santa suit, talking to shadows, and leaving presents that explode or bleed. Ever since Bella vanished without a trace, Mortimer’s mind has deteriorated. This Christmas, he decides to "give back" to the neighborhood — one corpse at a time. Armed with a candy cane axe and an endless supply of fire hazards, Mortimer begins a murderous rampage across Pleasantview, targeting everyone from the Calientes to the Brokes. By sunrise, the snow is red.
