'Cornelia is the founder of the Sim City Bridge Society and enjoys high tea and phrenology. She is thankful to have her granddaughter, Cassandra, so nearby.'
Cornelia Goth and her husband Gunther Goth are introduced in The Sims: Unleashed with their two cats Hecuba and Menelaus. In her bio, she is glad that her granddaughter, Cassandra, is so nearby. She is the founder of the Sim City Bridge Society, and enjoys high tea and phrenology. She is perhaps a friend of Buffy Snooty Patooty, whom she may meet when having high tea in the club or playing bridge. She wears a long and elegant black and silver dress. Unlike The Sims 2, her last name in The Sims is Goth Sr, only to distinguish between the different families.
Life leading up to The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, Cornelia Goth along with her husband had died from two separate fires. She died when her son Mortimer retired. Her husband had died much earlier, when her second grandchild, Alexander was born. She is buried in the new Goth home with Gunther, her father, sister, father and mother in-law and sister in-law. She wears a long black dress (although it wasn't as fancy as the one she wore in The Sims) and round glasses. Like Mama Lothario, she has an unused French Braid hairstyle.
Life leading up to The Sims 3
Since The Sims 3 is a prequel to The Sims, Cornelia and Gunther are adults. Her appearance is somewhat of a goth, with purple colored hair. She wears a long, dark purple/black dress.
She is friends also with her sister Agnes Crumplebottom whose husband just died.
She is currently a stay at home mom, who has a skill at painting. She doesn't have a very good relationship with her husband, Gunther Goth, as he is a workaholic and doesn't pay her much attention.
Relatives and Family members
Her parents Prudence and Simon Crumplebottom are both deceased and buried in the Goth graveyard. Cornelia is a friend of Vita Alto and an acquaintance of Geoffrey and Nancy Landgraab.
In The SimsUnleashed, Cornelia lived with Gunther and their cats Hecuba and Menelaus in a large mansion in 77 Maple Street of Old Town, a little further from Sim Lane. The home has a small graveyard (like all Goth homes) but there are no ghosts so it is not known who are buried there. Perhaps, Gunther died in a fire in the mansion, then Cornelia died in the Goth home, which then was re-constructed into a new and improved house for Mortimer, Cassandra and Alexander Goth in The Sims 2. In The Sims 3, Cornelia, Gunther and Mortimer live in a big house with its own cemetery.
Trivia
Cornelia's appearance was likely based on real life actress Helen Mirren.
