Mortimer Goth

Mortimer lives in the Goth mansion with his daughter Cassandra and son Alexander. His longtime wife Bella, is missing, having been abducted by aliens.

Life leading up to The Sims 1
Mortimer Goth was born outside of SimCity in the Old Country, which could refer to a place such as England or an unknown rural area. His father, Gunther, moved the family to SimCity when Mortimer was young. By the time we get to the original Sims, Mortimer lives with his wife Bella and his daughter Cassandra in a house that seems to change in Sims 2 many believe that the old house burned down supported in Mortimers memories that say there was a fire and then they moved into a new house. He is also in the science career track (which he will later excel in). His parents live in a large estate on Maple street nearby. Strangely enough in the original Sims his star sign is actually Taurus, which later changes to a Cancer in the Sims 2.

Life leading up to the Sims 2
Between the two sims games, a lot happens in Mortimer's life. He rises through the ranks of the science career to become an esteemed mad scientist, accumulating a lot of wealth along the way. (which later attracts the attention of the Caliente sisters.) Mortimer's parents; Gunther and Cornelia both die, and eventually Mortimer and Bella have a son, Alexander. As of The Sims 2 he is retired and his daughter, Cassandra (who is an adult by this time), is following in her father's footsteps in the science career. Cassandra is engaged to the town casanova Don Lothario, with plans to settle down.



Perhaps the most significant event is the mysterious disappearance of Mortimer's wife Bella. All evidence points to alien abduction, but it's interesting to note she was last seen "scaling the deck" of Don Lothario's condo. Could it have been that she was looking through Don Lothario's telescope that brought aliens? Bella's disappearance was well publicized, with "missing" notices appearing on milk cartons and in papers. This publicity has lead to many theories and rumors, and even supposed sightings in Strangetown. As of The Sims 2, she remains missing. Since Bella is gone, and she and Mortimer are presumably not married anymore. Mortimer is now romantically involved with Dina Caliente, unaware she is only dating him to get access to his millions.

Future
In the Prima Official Game Guides when telling you what to do as Dina Caliente it instructs you to marry Her and Mortimer. Making Dina his 2nd wife as he is no longer married to Bella (technically). With the 20-year leap in The Sims 3 Mortimer will most likely be deceased and his relationship with Dina will be answered. There is a slight possibility that they might have had another Goth child. This has been confirmed to be incorrect. In a meeting in London, Ben Bell stated that Pleasant Valley in the Sims 3 is before the original Sims 1 neighbourhood.

Homes
In the Sims 1, Mortimer lives with his wife Bella and his daughter Cassandra in a small house on Sim Lane (despite his parents' massive mansion on Maple Street). It only has 5 rooms on two floors: a lounge, a kitchen and two bedrooms as well as a small bathroom. The garden, although much larger, is plain except for the large graveyard, which characterizes the Goths' often seemingly morbid appearance. At night ghosts often haunt the lot.

By the Sims 2, Mortimer's wealth led to a much larger estate, with 3 floors as well as a roof terrace. There is a kitchen, a study, an entrance hall and a dining room, three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a landing as well as a bare attic room. The garden is very interesting. The front path is flanked by two large trees. The whole house is on a raised deck, with a flight of steps to reach the front door. If a user closely examines the floor plans, one can tell that the Sims 1 house has the same floor plan (except with more floors and a foundation), suggesting that this is perhaps the same house with many additions added on. Behind the house is a wedding arch, along with chairs and tables(suggesting an imminent wedding) perhaps intended for Don and Cassandra. Also featured is a graveyard with six dead relatives.

Mortimer Goth in the world
Mortimer Goth is perhaps one of the most well known Sims in the world. Many stories have been made about him and his family and he appears in other games such as The Sims: Bustin' Out, the TV family on the Sims 2 for GameBoy Advance and SimGolf.

Inspiration
Mortimer Goth's appearance is likely to be based on that of Vincent Price, a famous American horror actor.

Player stories

 * For me it is all happy. Mortimer married Dina and he moved in with Alexander to Dina's place(kicked Nina out,she had baby with postman and married a rich NPC). He has another son called Gill with Dina. Cassandra married Don, has had SIX children so far (Toshiko, Owen, Janette, Hannibal, Dammon and Jacques) 4 of whom have married various characters of my own and NPCs (some with kids and some on the way)and there are two more weddings planned when they come of age. I revived Bella with SimPE and she has married Darren Dreamer they have a new daughter called Thunder. Everyone is still alive and very happy. Isn't that nice!?


 * In My game Mortimer accidentally burns down the house killing Alexander and Cassandra. He then moves into one of my created families house (The Spencers) where the youngest(Edward Spencer) Marries Dina Caliente. Mortimer eventually dies of old age and forever haunts Edward and Dina. Dina spends the rest of her life miserable. The Goth house is partly demolished to make it look more ruined and is left as a reminder of the dangers of Baked Alaska.


 * I recreated the Goth family starting with Mortimer's grandparents. Bella was never abducted, and he and his lovely wife are now both dead. Cassandra, and Mortimer's son-in-law, Francis, inherted Goth Manor, will Alexander got over half of the cash.


 * In my one Bella came back from using the boolprop cheat. Dina got killed by flies though she did have an child with mortimer when they were married.


 * On mine Mortimer resurected Bella and got married they had 4 more kids Cassandra II, Morty Jr, Alex II, and Kanie.


 * In my game Mortimer got abducted by aliens, like Bella, but came back pregnant and the child's name was Pioneer 1856376 (Josh Goth). Josh had 2 children with Lisa Ramirez. The children's names were Josh "JJ" Goth Jr and Precious Stoning Goth.


 * In my game I used the tombstone of Life and Death to bring Bella back to the household. She and Mortimer were married, and Dina Caliente was left alone. Yippee! Then, Bella became pregnant and learned parenting. She had a baby girl named Stacey Goth. But when I came back later, Bella had turned into a ghost, and she left the household. Not yippee. I hear SimPE works, but I haven't tried using it yet because I don't know what it does to your computer data.


 * In my game I decided to let fate run its course and married Dina to Mortimer, tried for a baby until Dina became pregnant with a girl (Dana Caliente), then allowed him, by means of equipping him with the Thinking Cap and forcing him to play piano and read mechanical books to fulfill his Knowledge wants, to die with platinum (but not lifetime) aspiration. Dina then used the 20,000 simoleon inheritance to buy the Corner Shop in Bluewater Village. I haven't yet got around to starting the business though.


 * I too, used the headstone of L&D to bring Bella back and remarry Mortimer. It's okay, because although she doesn't recognize Mortimer as her husband, she knows that her children are her children. The only thing is, after they married, she had a baby, so I saved. When I came back Bella turned into a ghost. The INTERESTING thing is, when she turns into a ghost, it says, "Bella has died on another lot. She will return there to haunt,"...does this mean she was killed??? Because I thought she died on the Goth lot, but her ghost wasn't on the lot at all. And when Mortimer died, the hula zombie that came to take him with the Grim Reaper looked a lot like Bella Goth. After Mortimer died, I just resurrected Bella with something I downloaded, I don't remember what, possibly SimPE..so she could take care of her baby she'd had with Mortimer, whose name is Polly, so Cassandra didn't have to raise two children at the same time, (Polly, her and the late Don Lothario's baby she had..yes I killed him. But really, who doesn't want to?) And Alexander, who'd just turned into a teenager. When I resurrected Bella, though, she knew once again who her children were, and that Michael Bachelor (ressurected, and married to Dina, and now they have a baby girl named Nighat, after her mother) was her brother, so I'd have to assume she IS the real Bella, just with her Mortimer memories (as well as previous to her first L&D ressurection memories) erased. However, she still knew her family the first and second time I brought her back.


 * What I did was, follow the instructions (letting Cassandra marry Don and letting Dina marry Mortimer), but then twisted the rules. I had Dina get pregnant(still is) and now I'm planning on getting Mortimer and Dina into an argument over Bella, thus making Mortimer kick her out. But he'll still be stuck with the kid... Well I'll have him die, the son can inherit his money and Dina can go live with her sister Nina in the house could hardly afford, since she had to move because the game said there were too many people in their house, and she moved out with $20,000.


 * The future looked set for Mortimer to marry Dina but at Cassandra and Don's wedding reception he ended up getting closer to Dina's sister Nina. Shortly after Mortimer and Nina married and they had a daughter called Amy Goth.


 * I made Mortimer marry Nina Caliente and have twins, a boy and a girl. Mortimer died of old age when they became teenagers.


 * In my game, I broke up Dina and Mortimer. Then I boolpropped Alexander into an adult and Dina married him. Dina called Brandi Broke and I made Mortimer love her so now the Brokes live in the Goth house.(I moved out Cassandra!) I want Brandi to be pregnant but so far no luck.(Yes, Brandi had her third child!)


 * On mine, I had Mortimer propose to Dina and soon after the proposal but before the wedding, Dina was killed when a fire started in the kitchen and Mortimer went into a depression which resulted in him dying of fright when he saw Dina's ghost and left Cassandra and Alexander with his money and the house.


 * In my game, when Don Lothario left Cassandra at the altar, I made Mortimer Goth propose Dina and Nina move in. Then Mortimer proposed to Dina in Woodland Park. Then they had 5 children Ashlynn, Bradford, Charity, and Chandler (Twin Girls), and Daughtery. Nina dumped Don, and I made Darren and her get together.


 * In my game, Mortimer is a grandpa of five. He never remarried. Cassandra married Darren Dreamer and had two daughters and Alexander married a Sim I created, Layla, and had three sons.


 * In my game Mortimer married Dina, and they had FIVE kids together. Dona(teen), Bella(kid), Hannah and Savannah(twin kids), and Lynn(toddler). Mortimer has always suspected that Dina was having a affair with Don, but didn't look into it fearing he would lose his kids. Though the truth is that Bella and Lynn are Don's kids.


 * Mortimer has two kids with Dina in my sims 2, the first one is a child girl named Areliya and the second is still in Dina's belly. His daughter Cassandra just got married to Don and is having a baby. Mortimer doesn't know that he has two more kids because Dina hasn't told him.

P.S. In case anyone hasn't figured it out yet, I may have cheated to make this possible.
 * Mine's a long story. I need to start with a family I made: The Case Family. In the beginning, The Case Family consisted of two people, Gabe Case and I can't remember the Girl's name (I haven't played with that family in months). The Case family was adventurous. They befriended and "adopted" Bigfoot and built a robot. They then had a son, Kameron, and twins, can't remember their names either. They were all killed, minus Kameron and the mom, in what I called the "Case Family Massacre" where they were all struck by lightning, again minus Kameron and the mom. The mom disappeared in all the chaos. Ok, here's where Mortimer came in. Cassandra realized Don was an arse and dumped him and moved out. Alexander grew lonely. Mortimer decided to adopt a child. He adopted Kameron. Kam distanced himself from Mortimer, being not only a weird old man but not his father. Eventually, though, he reached out to Alexander, figuring he's his best bet on a companion. They became best friends. When Kam became a teenager his aspiration was knowledge. He began having nitemares of his families death and became obsessed with their resurrection. He began to occupy the attic in the Goth home to build his project. He finally built a device that enables him to call the Grim Reaper and, for a hefty price, resurrect his family. He did so. He resurrected almost all of his family. He asked the Grim Reaper about his mother and the Grim Reaper told him she was still alive. Mortimer then approached Kameron and his family and told him he was giving them half of his fortune (approximately 300,000 simoleons). The Case Family bought a new home and they lived happily ever after. Well, except for their mother, they never found her.


 * Mortimer moved in with Dina and he got her pregnant. He died of old age a couple days before the baby was born. The baby is now a toddler and a girl named Tina (I made it ryme with her aunt and mother). She lookes a lot like Dina.

Last thing about Mortimer is that Alex talked to his wife about it along with dreams of it. I restarted everything because i thought Mortimer needed a better life. I restarted and he was proposed to by Dina and they had a marriage. Dina died with a baby due to lack of food. Mortimer fought the grim reaper but failed. So now she walked around the house has a ghost along with a baby in her stomach. Mortimer got on the weights and lost some making him happy again. He died that same night. Cassandra was not affected by this because she had more fears of being rejected by Darren(Husband) for kisses and flirting.
 * Mortimer stayed inside the house all the time. He didn't never had a marriage with Bella or Dina. One day, he got a job in the slacker career. It was only two days before he died of old age. Alex was a teenager by this time and Cassandra went crazy of losing Mortimer. Mortimer died on the sidewalk of the Goth household.


 * He married coral oldie after Herb died and they just had the best party and went on vacation and got a cozy house and they adopted Noof for more action in their life


 * All I do is have my Sims fight him because he's a jerk and I hate him.


 * on my game he got married to dina cliente and Dina died so nina was still there and so was Alexander so Nina and Mortimer adopted a child and Alexander and the girl that they adopted fell in love. After Alexander became a teenager Nina died,when Dina died she was pregnant.So I am sstill trying to find Bella so Mortimer finally has his true love.


 * Mortimer has taken up with Dina Caliente, whom the family fears is after his money. However, his wife Bella suddenly and mysteriously returns just as Mortimer begins to plan to ask Dina to marry him.  She is exactly as she was when she was abducted, as time passes differently among aliens.  She is actually pregnant with twins that were conceived before she was even abducted!  She soon gives birth to Michael (named for her brother Michael Bachelor, and ironically Dina's deceased husband) and Gunther (named for Mortimer's father).  Mortimer is a little old to be caring for two energetic toddlers, so he imports a female Servo from France named Bougie.  Mortimer dies while Alexander is at university and Gunther and Michael are children.


 * On mine Mortimer ended up marrying Dina. Once they were together Mortimer Jr. was brought into the world. After Mortimer Jr. otherwise known as MJ was a toddler his father Mortimer finally had died of old age. With Dina completley devastated and left to raise her step son Alexander and son MJ she found that a new man was only necesary for her to get through her days a little more happier. She began the blind dating service. After Alexander had moved out she met townie Brandon Lillard. She moved out of the mansion found a comfterble hous and soon introduced MJ to his new sister Rachel and new brother Cody Lillard. Now Dina is old and is enjoying the last of her days with her beautiful family.Questions or anything email me at kensam5@prodigy.net Dylan


 * I just wanted to say that I haven't really gone in depth into Mortimer Goth just yet. Although, I do remember him from Sims the original game, and I was thinking, what happened to his hair? It's all gray! Anywho, in the first game, Alexander never rexisted, and Cornelia and Gunter Goth were those sims with lots of cats, am I right?


 * Yes, lol they are the one with lots of cats in unleashed. I also remember that Cornelia liked to give fiery kisses to Gunther in public! And that whenever Gunther came home from work, he brought like $1000.


 * Mortimer becomes a bad warlock before becoming a neutral one and he also turns Alexander into a warlock and they both move into a comfy apartment and is living quite happy with his son just at the other end of the apartment complex


 * In my game, Mortimer became so helpless, he had to have an assitant, This is where I come in. I got to move in with the legend known only by Dr.Goth. We became friends, just as my father did in Bustin' Out (What? Can't I link story lines?) among the chores I did was drive him to and from apointments, put in a driveway, and buy food. Mortimer was a fantastic man, and it hurt me to move out, when his son came from college Mortimer was estatic. although I did notice that he had a weird cough. Mortimer lived out the rest of his life with dignity, and lottsa Spaghetti! (YTP Refrence)
