The Goth family is a prominent family in The Sims series, originally consisting of just Mortimer, Bella and Cassandra, appearing as one of the starting families in the original The Sims. The family is featured in all four main games (The Sims, The Sims 2, The Sims 3, and The Sims 4), The Sims 2 for GameBoy Advance, and The Sims: Bustin' Out for console.

The immediate members of the family appear in Neighborhood 1/Old Town, Pleasantview, Sunset Valley, and Willow Creek, and are considered a key founding family in those places. Other branches of the family appear or are featured in the histories of other areas, including Moonlight Falls, Lunar Lakes, and Sugar Maple Coast.

The earliest known Goth was possibly a medieval-era woman by the name of Lady Ravendancer Goth, who wrote ‘Lady Ravendancer Goth’s Book O’ Spells’. The original tome was found in the Gothique Library, a library built by the very first Goths that settled in Sunset Valley. Magical ability is a common trait shared by many Goths; it is shown in several games that Bella Goth is capable of magic, and her mother-in-law Cornelia Goth was often used in promotional images dealing with magic things such as spell books and the Cowplant.
