While Goneril wanted children, it certainly wasn't her idea to have this many kids. And why does she feel like Albany perhaps married her more for her money than for her love?
Goneril Capp is a pre-made playable Sim from Veronaville, and earlier in her life, Roaring Heights. She is the eldest daughter and child of Consort and Contessa Capp. Her siblings include Regan, Kent, and the late Cordelia Capp. Oddly, despite her father's memories and her return in Roaring Heights placing her as the oldest of Consort and Contessa's children, the family tree in Veronaville names her as their second child.
In The Sims 3, she is a child, with seven days left in her stage. She lives with her parents Consort and Contessa and her younger sister Regan. Her mother is pregnant with her third child.
She is currently enrolled in Elementary School as a C student. She is good friends with her family and does not have any skills learned at the start of the game.
By the time of The Sims 2, she has married Albany Norman and had four children by him: Miranda, Hal, Desdemona, and Ariel Capp. Often going unnoticed, she has brown hair while both her parents (as seen in one of the Capp photos) have blonde hair. She, along with the rest of her family, is in the Family bin. Oddly she has the option to resurrect her maternal grandparents whom she presumably never met. Also she does not remember learning any toddler skills though her father remembers teaching them to her. She has enough skills to reach Level 7 of the Business career, which is Vice President, though she is unemployed at the start of the game.
Despite their marriage, Albany and Goneril are not in love. This could be an indicator that their marriage was arranged. Judging by Albany's personality, bio, and Aspiration, he probably only married Goneril to have children and perhaps for her money. Still, both she and Albany have memories of falling in love with each other.
When it is moved to a lot, starting to played, she is 21 days to become an elder.
When editing in SimPE her hair genes are of red hair, meaning her hair could have been dyed. This also explains why all her children have genes for red hair: Miranda carries both dominant and recessive genes for red hair, as well as Desdemona; while Hal carries a recessive gene for this color and Ariel a dominant for it.
Goneril is the cruel eldest daughter in King Lear. She is married to the Duke of Albany.
When editing in SimPE, her skin tone genetics are not recognized. Because of this, she may sometimes produce a child with dark skin regardless if the other Sim doesn't have genetics of this skin tone. It appears that the installment of some expansion packs fix this strange behavior.
Also when editing in SimPE, her zodiac sign is not recognized. This could explain why she doesn't have a zodiac sign mismatch in-game like most pre-made playable Sims from the base game do.
While most playable Sims in The Sims 2 had their first kiss as a teenager, she had her first kiss as an adult.
