The Alto family first appeared in the "The Heist" trailer for The Sims 3 when the parents were arguing 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'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 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, and it is clear that they have made enemies in town, particularly with the Landgraab family. According to the family bio, the Altos are ruthless, unafraid to plot the misfortune of those who stand in their way.
They are also clearly new money, as 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 out 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, as she is neither cruel nor tacky.
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) Holly re-appears in the neighborhood Beacon Bay, this time 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 it seems likely that Holly would be deceased by then. She may be a relative or descendant from Holly.
In the town of Hidden Springs it is learned that Nick Alto has a brother named Bert living there with a mysterious amount of money with him and hiding from his brother Nick and previous clients for unknown reasons.
In the town of Lunar Lakes, some descendant of the Alto family appears; Trenton Alto. Along with his wife and son.
