The '''Alto family''' is a wealthy pre-made family. They first appeared in the "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0c2GvLOvL8 The Heist]" trailer for ''[[The Sims 3]]'' when [[Nick Alto|Nick]] and [[Vita Alto]] bickered after Nick farted audibly. The pre-made storyline for the family involves a business feud with the [[Landgraab family]], as Nick and Vita are enemies with [[Geoffrey Landgraab|Geoffrey]] and [[Nancy Landgraab]] (although [[Holly Alto (Sunset Valley)|Holly Alto]] is merely acquaintances with both her parents and the Landgraabs) as well as the fact that Nancy Landgraab and Nick are both on the same career level trying to get ahead. They live in a mansion in the upper-class area of the town, across the mansion of the Landgraabs. Their last name is a pun on the television show, ''The Sopranos''. Despite only being introduced during ''The Sims 3'' era, they quickly became one of the families in the franchise with the most appearances in the series, alongside much longer-running characters such as the Landgraabs and the [[Goths]]. In total, the family have appeared seven times to date: once in ''The Sims 3 ''base game, twice in expansion packs for ''The Sims 3'' (including one [[List of minor Sims|mention]] of a lore character), three times in DLC content for ''The Sims 3'', and once in ''The Sims 3 ''for Nintendo DS. However, they do not appear in ''The Sims 4''.
It has been implied that they - at least, Nick and Vita - are the "bad guys" in town. The town, filled with traditional old money families like the Goths and the Landgraabs, got disturbed when the city-bred Alto family arrived with their city-born personality and try to change the system of the town to a more modernized, corporate fashion. The residents of [[Sunset Valley]] will have to pick the side of either the Altos with their uptown ideals or the [[Goth Family|Goth]]'s more traditional views. The Altos aren't as involved in a conflict with the Goths, however, as they are with the Landgraabs. Even though it is said that they run most of the towns commercial properties, the family does not start with any real estate properties belonging to the family, but with their large family fund at the beginning of the game, it is possible for the player to buy out some of the establishments in town.
Line 66:
It is revealed in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' that a possible ancestor, [[Ebenezer Alto]], founded [[Bridgeport]], which could mean that is where Nick, Vita, and Holly moved from. This is very likely because they are very rich and industrial and Bridgeport is a rich, industrial city.
In the [[The Sims 3 (Nintendo DS)|''The Sims 3'' (Nintendo DS)]] Holly re-appears in the neighborhood [[Beacon Bay]], but with a very different appearance and personality which she appears to have inherited from her mother, unlike her counterpart from [[Sunset Valley]]. At this point in time, she is married to [[Don Alto]], who appears to have taken her last name. Her family bio states that her and her husband's motto is "rich, rich, rich" and that many business practices have distanced them from happiness and redemption. Since a grown up [[Alexander Goth]] from [[The Sims 2]] is in the game, and since, in Sunset Valley, Holly is already a teenager during Mortimer Goth's childhood, it seems likely that [[Holly Alto (Sunset Valley)|Holly]] would be deceased by then.
In the town of [[Hidden Springs]], it is learned that Nick Alto has a brother named [[Bert Alto|Bert]], who is living there with money from a mysterious source. For unknown reasons, Bert appears to be hiding, possibly from his brother Nick and/or previous clients.
