Goth home

See also 77 Maple Street.

The Goth Home in the The Sims and The Sims 2 has been the home of Mortimer and Bella Goth, where their children Cassandra and Alexander Goth were born, for many years.

The Sims
In the The Sims, Bella, Mortimer, and their young child Cassandra live in a small, two-story home with a graveyard in the back. On the first floor was a small master bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen, and a small living area along with a patio on back and "porch" on front. The entire top floor was for Cassandra. In Mortimer's current memories, it shows red Fire! and "Burned food" icons, which tells that Mortimer might have accidentally burned down the original Goth Estate. But stats show that Dr. Goth had plenty of money to build a new home on the same lot.

The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, Mortimer is a retired elder who lives with his engaged daughter Cassandra, and his older child Alexander. His wife, Bella, has been abducted by aliens and never reappeared. After the original estate was burnt, Mortimer built a larger estate that would fit his complete family. On the first floor is a large foyer, living area, kitchen, dining room and bathroom. On the second, the master bedroom and bathroom, Cassandra and Alexander's bedrooms and a shared bathroom. And the new third floor is similar to an attic, and the fourth is a roof patio. There is a porch on the front. The cemetery seems unchanged. However, rather than being on the right side of the lot as originally seen, it is now on the left.

The Sims 3
In The Sims 3 the Goths live in a large house by the Sunset Valley Cemetery. This may suggest that the Goth home may not have its own graveyard. But they do.

The Sims Bustin' Out
''The Goths are still around and they're in an even creepier haunted Victorian. Complete with a graveyard in the backyard and some Mutant plants, Goth Manor is the spot for ghost hunters and inventors.''

This haunted house is owned by none other than Mortimer and Bella Goth (their daughter Cassandra is notably absent from this game.) The house's perimeter is dotted with gravestones. The interior, from the chandeliers to the large synthesizer, is furnished with a spooky feel. You are to buy 1000 simoleans worth of things for the Goths, who were not spared by Malcolm either. Their skeletal display and seance table were taken.

The Goths want you to find the fern stolen from them. It's hiding somewhere in the desert trailer around the broken car. You need to pay your old friend a visit soon.

Mortimer and Bella are bothered by the ghosts that come out nearly every night after 10pm, and want you to exorcise the ghosts (hold a seance) by "contacting spirits" with a crystal ball. You need to do this twice, and both times when the ghosts are actually moving around the house. Your main sim doesn't have to be the one doing this, especially since this can only be done at night and you are unlikely to want to disturb your sim's beauty sleep. Instead, you might want to wake Mortimer/Bella up just for this.

At this level, you can only control the sim of the same gender as your main sim. The two career paths' promotions are the ones available in the Goth Manor.

You also need to befriend either Mr or Mrs Goth. It is recommended you keep a Goth as a family friend for as long as you can, especially since their house and friendship are important in fulfilling future goals.

Graveyard
An unforgettable part of any Goth home is the graveyard in the back. Both of the PC games, plus all the console editions have shown ghosts haunting the mansions and scaring the inhabitants (regardless of the fact that the deceased are actually Mortimer and Bella's ancestors).

In The Sims, the Goth home had eight ghosts, which consists of; In The Sims Unleashed, the home of Gunther Goth and Cornelia Goth had a graveyard too, but it had no ghosts.
