What happened to the Altos?

The Alto family first appeared in the "The Heist" trailer in the scene where the parents argued with each other because Mr. Alto let his sloppy side show. They have a business feud with the Landgraab family.

Their last name is a pun on the television show, The Sopranos.

It has been revealed that they are the "bad guys" in town. The residents of Sunset Valley will have to pick the side of either the Altos with their uptown ideals or the Goth family's more traditional views. However, the Altos are not as involved in a conflict with the Goths as they are with the Landgraabs. Even though they almost run the town, it is unknown why they don't seem to be in any other game (see their family theories for more info).

The family is described as "nouveau riche and evil," and they fit the description perfectly (both parents have either mean spirited or evil as a trait). It is clear that they have made enemies in town, particularly with the [[Landgraab Family| Landgraab family]. According to the family biography, the Altos are ruthless and unafraid to plot the misfortune of those who stand in their way.

They are clearly new money, as well. Even though their house is lavish and luxurious, it is far tackier than the Landgraab mansion; it is a white and pink house with a rose garden in the front that features many objects that appear to made out of solid gold (such as a staircase and bathtub). Holly is the only family member to break away from these trends; she is neither cruel, nor tacky.
