The '''Goth''' {{Listen|File:En us Goth.ogg|url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/4/46/En_us_Goth.ogg/revision/latest}} '''family''' is a prominent family in [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]], originally consisting of just [[Mortimer Goth|Mortimer]], [[Bella Goth|Bella]] and [[Cassandra Goth|Cassandra]], appearing as one of the starting families in the original ''[[The Sims]]''. The family is featured in all four main games (''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4]]''), ''[[The Sims 2 (GBA)|The Sims 2]]'' for GameBoy Advance, and [[The Sims Bustin' Out (console)|''The Sims: Bustin' Out'']] for console.
The immediate members of the family appear in [[Neighborhood 1]]/[[Old Town]]{{Vgversion|TS}}, [[Pleasantview]]{{Vgversion|TS2}}, [[Sunset Valley]]{{Vgversion|TS3}}, and [[Willow Creek]]{{Vgversion|TS4}}, and are considered a key founding family in those places. Other branches of the family appear or are featured in the histories of other areas, including [[Moonlight Falls]], [[Lunar Lakes]], and [[Sugar Maple Coast]].

The appearances of Goth family members throughout the tree indicate a long lineage of wealthy businessmen, politicians, and scientists. Most male Goths are seen in suits and business clothes, while the women usually prefer long and elegant dresses.

===The Sims 3: Pets (console)===
The Goth family is one of the pre-created unplayable families from [[The Sims 3: Pets (console)|''The Sims 3: Pets'' for console]], within the neighborhood of [[Sugar Maple Coast]]. [[Rebecca Goth|Rebecca]] heard stories for years of her great-grandfather and the town he carved out of the wilderness. She decided to come to the town to learn more.

*The Goth family in Moonlight Falls has some fountains at the house. Sims might occasionally get stuck in one, and they're unable to be interacted with unless they're freed by resetting them or moving the fountain.

|etymology
|tree = [[Image:GothFamTree.png|750px]]▼
''' Mortimer Goth''': In French, "mort" means death. The name "Mortimer" descended from the French "Mer Morte", meaning "Dead Sea". This refers to the Dead Sea in the Middle East. It could also possibly mean "still water" in Old French. The name was brought back to Europe by French crusaders who had seen that sea. Mortimer's name perfectly suits his last name - Goth, as both name and last name are connected with gloom, death and gothic. Also, Mortimer's name is especially fitting for him in ''The Sims 2'' as he is an elder, so technically death is near.<br>▼
|listmembers = *[[Bella Goth]]▼
'''Bella Goth''': Bella is short for "Isabella". Bella is associated with the Italian word for "beautiful". Bella's name seems fitting because - for a Sim - she is supposed to be very beautiful (considering her popularity connected with her appearance in SimNation and the fact that Don Lothario tried to "Make Out" with her).<br>▼
'''Cassandra Goth''': Of Greek origin, it possibly means "shining upon man". In Greek myth, Cassandra was a Trojan Princess who had been given the gift of prophecy by Apollo. She spurned his advances, and Apollo cursed her so that nobody would believe her prophecies. Cassandra's name is confusing because she doesn't predict anything that nobody believed. Having two men love her could be considered entangled, or 'scandalous'. Interesting that Cassandra's name is regarded to be a female version of name Alexander.<br>▼
'''Alexander Goth''': Means "defending man". Alexander the Great was the leader who created an empire through Greece, Egypt, Persia, and parts of India. Several other rulers and kings bear the name Alexander. Alexander's name seems fitting as well. He is the smart one and the first son; meaning he could have power to take over the family (if Dina Caliente doesn't do so first).<br>▼
'''Gunther Goth''': Variant of Günther, from Old High German "gund" (battle) and "heri" (army).<br>▼
'''Cornelia Goth''': Derived from the Latin word "cornu", meaning "horn". Or possibly, Cornelia is supposed to refer to "corn" because of the rural landscape of Pleasantview's past. The name is quite old-fashionable yet elegant and suits her perfectly.<br>▼
'''Hecuba Goth''': Variant on the Greek name 'Hekabe' which itself is a variant of 'Hecate' and can possibly mean "Far-off". From Greek Mythology - the wife of Priam and mother of Hector, Paris, and Cassandra (along with 16 other children) in Homer's Iliad. Hecate is also a traditional goddess of witches, which may relate with Cassandra Goth's name relating to prophecies.<br>▼
'''Menelaus Goth''': From Greek origin it means "withstanding the people". From Greek Mythology - the king of Sparta at the time of the Trojan War; husband of Helen and brother of Agamemnon.<br>▼
'''Victor Goth''': One definition is "a person who has overcome, a conqueror". Another definition is "a winner in any struggle or contest". The meaning of this name is quite clear, as "victor" in English means one who is victorious.<br>▼
'''Gretle Goth''': Commonly spelled Gretel; this name is a short form of Margaret, which in Greek means "pearl". Also, in a fairy tale, Gretel and her brother Hansel were captured by a witch but managed to escape. If there was a witch-like character in the Sims' games that may have kidnapped Gretle Goth, this name would make more sense.<br>▼
'''Frida Goth''': Means "peace".<br>▼
'''Lolita Goth''': Likely a reference to Vladimir Nabokov's novel Lolita and an obvious parody of the Japanese fashion 'Gothic Lolita'. Lolita is a nickname for "Dolores", which means "sorrows".<br>▼
'''Cecilia Goth''': Latinate feminine form of the Roman family name Caecilius, which was derived from Latin caecus "blind".<br>▼
'''Samuel Goth''': Hebrew origin meaning either "name of God" or "God has heard".<br>▼
'''Olivia Goth''': Invented by Shakespeare for his play "Twelfth Night." Olivia was either meant to be a female form of Oliver or derived from the vocabulary word 'olive' which is a symbol of peace.<br>▼

▲|etymology = '''Goth''': Relates either to medieval times or means "an uncivilized person" or "a person without culture". The Goth name in general has some resemblance, as well.
