Similarities to the Goths
The Roth family has various resemblances to the Goth family. The most obvious is that the names are very similar. The family names are almost identical, with only the first letter being different. Morty and Xander are very similar to Mortimer and Alexander, and could easily be short forms of those names. Likewise, Stella is similar to Bella, as is Sandra to Cassandra. They also have a mirror-reversed version of the Goth household, although the house is much brighter than the Goths' home. Other similarities are that Stella Roth stays away longer when she gets abducted. Usually, when a Sim is abducted, he or she stays away for up to 4 hours, Stella stays away for 7. Another similarity between Bella and Stella is that they both wear a red dress, and Stella has similar hobbies to Bella (playing piano, painting).

Differences from the Goths
The Roths are similar to the Goths on many levels, but they are also very different. For instance, the Roths dress much more brightly than any of the Goths. Stella (The Roths' version of Bella Goth) hasn't disappeared, and remains with her family. Most of the family (excluding Xander) doesn't notably resemble the Goths in facial features. The Roths are unpopular in Riverblossom Hills, a problem most Goths never had to deal with in Pleasantview. Also, Stella has the Popularity Aspiration while Bella has the Romance Aspiration. The most notable difference may be the Roths' dress code and lifestyle. While the Goths mainly dress in dark, traditional-style clothes, the Roths are very notably more modern and "cooler" than the Goth family. The Goths always believed in traditional, strict upbringing, while the Roths are all about being modern. Annabelle Goldstein, who appears to be a parody of Frida Goth, was married and had a child, Betty Goldstein, while Frida apparently never married or had children.
