About BellaDovah
Hello! My name is Gabriella, Gabby for short - you can also call me Bella. I enjoy playing and modding video games. I make YouTube videos and game mods, and this site is where you'll find the mods I create as well as written guides & resources, and more. I like several games and I aim to cover a variety games here, however my favorite game is The Sims 2, so that's where my focus lies.
​
I was first introduced to The Sims 2 in about 2006, when I was around 8 years old - a friend showed me and I was amazed. I stubbornly wanted to get The Sims 1 for myself first so I played that for a bit and got the hang of it before getting The Sims 2 and then really fell in love. While I do like other games in the Sims series and will play and cover them from time to time, none come close to The Sims 2 for me. I have never clicked with any other game quite like it, but Skyrim does come close!
​
And with my top two games, my username was born! Bella refers to Bella Goth, the iconic character from The Sims series. Bella also has further significance to me, since when I was younger, my family called me 'Gabriella Bella Bella'. As well as this, bella means beautiful in Italian and Spanish - I am half Italian (though unfortunately not bilingual) and I studied Spanish to a high level - it was my favorite subject and I know more Spanish than Italian! Beautiful is a perfect way to describe the next part, which is 'Dovah'. Dovah means dragon in the dragon language of The Elder Scrolls universe found in Skyrim, where you play the Dovahkiin (Dragonborn).

As for my personal life, I'm 25 and I live in my hometown of Sheffield, UK with my boyfriend and beautiful cat. I work as a Software Developer, and I did a degree in Computer Science. If I were a sim in The Sims 2, I would probably have the Pleasure & Knowledge aspirations, and my one true hobby would be video games. If I had Sims 3 traits, some would be: Computer Whiz, Shy, Cat Person, Perfectionist, and Vegetarian.
