Cassandra Goth

Cassandra Goth is a bright, mysterious girl who first appeared in The Sims as a Sim who resides in Sim Lane with her mother, Bella Goth, and father, Mortimer Goth. She reappeared in The Sims 2 in Pleasantview with her father, Mortimer, and brother, Alexander Goth. She, her father, and her mother are also the only Sims to keep the same biography between The Sims and The Sims 2.

Cassandra is one of only two living pre-made adult Sims from Pleasantview that was not featured in The Sims 3 (the other being Brandi Broke). Her parents, however, are shown to be children in Sunset Valley, so it is possible for her to be born in-game once they become young adults.

Cassandra and her family returns in Willow Creek in The Sims 4.

Life leading up to The Sims (console)
In The Sims for console, Cassandra lives with her parents, Mortimer Goth and Bella Goth, in 5 Sim Avenue. She is a B student. She has the same black pigtails, white shirt and black shoes, but now has black sunglasses and a black skirt. She shares a 20+ relationship with both her parents. She likes to play with her toys, play the piano, feed the fish and mourn at the tombstones. If the player leaves her alone when first playing her family she will go to the telephone and wonder what it is.

With Free Will on, Cassandra and her family will only mourn at the tombstones even if they are in a bad mood.

Life leading up to The Sims
In The Sims, she is a child living with her parents, Mortimer Goth and Bella Goth. Cassandra is an A student, and enjoys having tea with her grandmother, Cornelia Goth. She enjoys reading and playing with her toys. She wears round, horn-rimmed glasses; a white-collared shirt; and a blue, knee-length skirt. Cassandra is shy and doesn't say much. Not much is known about her until she has her own story to tell in The Sims 2.

Life leading up to The Sims 2
In the 25 years that have theoretically passed between The Sims and The Sims 2, she makes her reappearance living in Goth Manor with her aging father, Mortimer Goth, and her bright younger brother, Alexander Goth. She has grown into an adult and honors her last name. She wears a long, black, Medieval-style dress; host pigtails; round glasses; and rarely smiles.

She is engaged to marry Don Lothario, but does not realize—or appears to be unaware—that he is also involved with several other women. She is also unaware of the crush that Darren Dreamer has on her. Due to Darren's love for Cassandra, there is a chance he may flirt with her, making her fall in love with him. If Cassandra is engaged, she would be cheating on Don.

Like her father, Mortimer, she works in the Science career track, where she is a Field Researcher. Cassandra is an adult and becomes an elder in 26 days. She is generally shy and neat, and is occasionally playful; her favorite activities are playing piano and reading. Cassandra wants to have a family and live a normal life.

She is close friends with Mary-Sue Pleasant, and has been since they were children. One of the Pleasant family's story-telling pictures suggests that Cassandra was the Maid of Honor at Mary-Sue's wedding.

When the Goths are first played in The Sims 2, Cassandra and Don are in the back garden, and a game tip instructs that the player should give Don a romantic gesture to spark things off. It then tells the player to marry them, which can be achieved by simply clicking the wedding arch and "Get married". In these circumstances Don usually leaves Cassandra at the altar, leaving her in a bad mood and, if Nightlife or later is installed, furious with Don. However, it is possible to have Don marry her by simply getting the relationship higher and doing more than just a kiss (getting the relationship to 100).

A bit of trivia is that Cassandra is the only pre-made adult in Pleasantview who can trace back to any of his or her great-grandparents. This is probably because Gunther and Cornelia's parents are buried in the family graveyard and haunt the grounds, and therefore need to have character files. Another interesting fact is that Cassandra and Mary-Sue have memories of meeting during their childhood, even though Mary-Sue is much older than Cassandra. (This can be reconciled if it's assumed that Cassandra had access to the Elixir of Life while Mary-Sue did not - or that maybe Mary-Sue had access to it, and got the negative effect).

The other interesting fact is that Alexander was born before Mary-Sue and Cassandra became best friends. That is noticeable when comparing Cassandra and Mortimer's memories. However, Alexander is still a child and Mary-Sue's daughters (who were born much later) Angela and Lilith are teenagers. This proves that Alexander is older than Angela and Lilith even though he's a child.

Strangely, while Cassandra is a Cancer in The Sims, she is a Virgo in The Sims 2. She along with her friend, Mary-Sue Pleasant, are the only pre-made adults in Pleasantview to have at least one living parent. Cassandra always visits the Pleasant family the first day the family is played.

If Darren invites Cassandra over when first playing the Dreamer family, there is a high chance that she will flirt with him autonomously. It is unknown whether this was scripted, although it is a strong possibility since it is relatively uncommon for Sims to autonomously initiate romantic interactions on Sims they don't have romantic feelings towards, unless they have previously been directed to do so by the player.

In the neighborhood pictures for Pleasantview, Cassandra is wearing a different dress, which is black with faint white lines. Also, her hair is slightly different from the way it is in actual gameplay. The dress and hairstyle shown in those pictures appear to have been removed from the game itself.

Life leading up to The Sims 4
Cassandra appears in The Sims 4 as a teen, living with her parents and younger brother in the Ophelia Villa in Willow Creek. It has been confirmed that this version of Cassandra exists in an alternate continuity to the one found in previous games.

When first played, Cassandra is a high school student with a C grade. She is 13 days away from becoming a young adult. She carries a homework book in her inventory, has two points in the violin skill and has the Musical Genius aspiration. She is friends with her parents and brother, but has no relationships outside of her household. She has the creative and gloomy traits, and the muser bonus trait.

This version of Cassandra has lighter skin than most previous incarnations of the character, and there is a much smaller age gap between her and her younger brother than there was in The Sims 2.

It is still possible for her to get engaged to Don once she ages up into a young adult, since he is present in Oasis Springs, but they will have a much bigger age gap than in The Sims 2, where she was actually a few days older than him when first played.
