| Crime doesn't pay...USUALLY. Such a shame that the Goodmans don't really have time to spend in that nice mansion : Major gets arrested horribly often, and Evi-Lyn goes to great lengths to get her "dear stupid husband" out of jail. Why on Earth did their daughter, Pandora, think kidnapping Taylor Gunner was a good idea ? | |

The Goodman family is a family that lives in Greenwood. It consists of Evi-Lyn Goodman, Major Goodman and their four children, Pandora, Belial, Herodias and Lucifer. The family also owns two cats, Jezebel and Nocturne. Pandora's friend, Taylor Gunner, ran away from home and lives with the family.
Both parents are vampire criminals who have encouraged their children to be evil and love the darkness. However, Lucifer, the youngest child, is an extremely nice child, which worries his family.
Major has a townie sister called Eris, who is also a vampire and who was turned by Evi-Lyn. Major's other sister, Morgan-Fay, is deceased and buried behind the family's mansion. Evi-Lyn's parents are deceased and do not have graves, while Major's parents are burried at Avalon's Rest alongside most ancestral Sims.
