Goth home

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

13 Skyborough Blvd
In The Sims 3 the Goths live in Goth Manor, a large house by the Sunset Valley Cemetery. But the Goths have their own family graveyard, as seen in the pictures below. The big house features a large kitchen, chess area, dining room, the foyer and a large living room. The second floor features Gunther and Cornelia's bedroom, two bathrooms, Mortimer's bedroom and a guest room. The third floor is an attic, and the fourth is a tower and roof terrace. Gray siding and dead tries on the property give the house an aged look bringing out that the mansion was the very first house in Sunset Valley. Dark wood work throughout the house gives it the gothic feel. Some people believe the back "greenhouse", if you will, was once an indoor pool.

Description: The Goths have lived in town since time immemorial. The aura of gloom from the nearby cemetery suits them, but can a young boy named Mortimer grow up to be well-adjusted in such a place?

5 Sim Lane
In The Sims, Bella, Mortimer, and their young child Cassandra live in a small two-story house with a graveyard in the back. On the first floor is a small master bedroom, a bathroom, the kitchen, and a small living area. There is a "porch" in front, and a patio in the back. There is a large dining table on the patio. The entire top floor is for Cassandra.

Mortimer's memories in The Sims 2 show red Fire! and "Burned food" icons, which indicates that Mortimer might have accidentally burned down the original Goth Estate. However, stats show that Dr. Goth had plenty of money to build a new home on the same lot. The house cost around 44,000 simoleons.

Goth Manor
''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.

It may be possible that this house was built before the house in The Sims, since it only has one floor and Cassandra Goth isn't living there.

It cost around 65,000 simoleons.

165 Sim Lane
In The Sims 2, Mortimer is a retired elder who lives with his engaged daughter Cassandra, and his other child Alexander. His wife, Bella, has been abducted by aliens and never reappeared (though she is rumored to have been seen in Strangetown). After the original estate was burnt, Mortimer built a larger estate that would fit his complete family. On the first floor, there is an entry hall with some plants, wall candelabras, and a piano. A guest bathroom is also there, along with a fancy living room, a dining room, and a kitchen. On the second floor, there is a large master bedroom with a portrait of Bella over the bed, and a desk for Mortimer's work - and sometimes Alexander's homework. Cassandra's and Alexander's bedrooms are across the hall. Alexander's bedroom has child's things, but the carpeting and wallpaper is slightly gothic. There are two bathrooms, and though considered separate, they are connected. The new third floor is similar to an attic, with an easel. The fourth floor is a patio deck with an expensive telescope. 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. On the right side, there are two small patches of flowers, which may have been intended as grave sites for Mortimer and Bella. The house and its furnishings cost around §124,000.

Graveyard
An unforgettable part of any Goth home is the graveyard in the back. Each 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.
 * Grandpa
 * Grandma
 * Uncle
 * Auntie
 * Cousin

 * Gunther Goth
 * Cornelia Goth
 * Victor Goth
 * Gretle Goth
 * Frida Goth
 * Simon Crumplebottom
 * Agnes Crumplebottom
