Gunther Goth

Gunther Goth or Gunther Goth Sr is a pre-created, playable sim in The Sims that premiered in the Unleashed expansion pack with his wife, Cornelia Goth, and their two cats, Hecuba and Menelaus. He is the patriarch of the Goth Family and Pleasantview.

In The Sims 2, Gunther is one of the pre-created, yet unplayable sims featured as ancestors of playable, pre-created sims. Though deceased when the game begins, you can see him in the relationship tree of playable sim Mortimer Goth, who is his son, as well as those of his grandchildren, Cassandra Goth and Alexander Goth.

Gunther was born in the Old Country, and then he moved (and found) Sunset Valley, which then was renamed Old Town in The Sims Unleashed, and was renamed again as Pleasantview in The Sims 2. He is the father of Mortimer Goth, husband to the now infamous Bella Goth. Gunther was the husband of Cornelia Goth, and the son of Victor Goth and Gretle Goth, both of Pleasantview; he has one sibling, Frida Goth.

Life leading up to The Sims
Gunther and his wife Cornelia Goth, along with their two cats, Hecuba and Menelaus, first appeared in The Sims Unleashed. He is the founding father of the neighborhood, which made him very rich indeed. He has white hair in the edge of his head and he has black hair on the top of his head, which made him look like he wears a toupée. He wears a phantom-like dark gray tux with tails and a light gray bow tie. He is a Dean in the Education career track.

Life leading up to The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, Gunther, along with Cornelia, lost their lives to two, separate fires. He died when his second grandchild, Alexander was born. His wife died a bit later, when their son, Mortimer retired. He is buried in the new Goth home with Cornelia, his parents, sister, father in-law and sister in-law. He is balder than he was in The Sims. He wears a black suit with a striped blue tie.

Life leading up to The Sims 3
Since The Sims 3 is supposed to be a prequel to the original The Sims, Gunther and Cornelia are still adults. He has rather long brown hair and a brown beard. He wears a black suit, and wears a black top hat. (It is possible) he is up agianst The Altos Family in becoming mayor. This is very intresting because you know what will happen if you run Gunther Goth as mayor everything will be normal, but The Altos Family is something different.On a video at http://www.thesims.nu/pages.eaplay.asp ,A player confirmed that Gunther has the charasmatic trait.

Homes
See The Goth Home.

In The Sims Unleashed, Gunther lived with Cornelia and their cats Hecuba and Menelaus in a large mansion in 77 Maple Street of Old Town, a little further from Sim Lane. The home has a small graveyard (like all Goth homes) but there are no ghosts so it is not known who are buried there. Perhaps, Gunther died in a fire in the mansion, then Cornelia died in the Goth home, which then was re-constructed into a new and improved house for Mortimer, Cassandra and Alexander Goth in The Sims 2. In sims 3 Gunther, his wife (Cornelia Goth)and son (Mortimer Goth)) live in a big house by the cemetary.
