}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Goth, Gunther}}

'''Gunther Goth''' is a pre-made, playable [[Sim]] in ''[[The Sims]]'' that premiered in the ''[[Unleashed]]'' [[expansion pack]] along with his wife, [[Cornelia Goth]], and their two cats, [[Hecuba Goth|Hecuba]] and [[Menelaus Goth|Menelaus]]. He is the patriarch of the [[Goth Familyfamily]] and [[Pleasantview]].

===Life Leadingleading up to ''The Sims 3''===

In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', Gunther lives with his family, Cornelia and Mortimer Goth, in a large house located by the graveyard. There is no specific mention of him being the founding father of the neighborhood, but he has many good friends and on the Goth Manor is described as the first house built in town. Instead of the Goths being 'heads' of the town, the Landgraab and Alto families seem to have more control over the town, though Goths appear to have been influential in creating the town's ethics.

Gunther has long brown hair, and wears a flamboyant top hat. He also wears ansome eyeliner. He is a CEO in the [[Business (career)|Businessbusiness]] career track, and although married to Cornelia, he does not have an outstanding relationship with her, (theyas dotheir notrelationship wantlevels aren't high enough to make them [[WooHoo]] with each other and they must increase their relationship level to accept WooHoo with each other). This however contradicts Mortimer's bio, which says: ''"The Goths' strong marriage has produced a healthy boy named Mortimer."'' Also, it appears that he has never even met Cornelia's sister [[Agnes Crumplebottom]], even though Agnes is Cornelia's best friend. He likes to swing and read. At the start of the game, Gunther is 5 days from becoming an [[elder]].

He wears a phantom-like dark gray tux with tails and a light grey bow tie. He is a Dean in the [[Educationeducation]] career track, in contrast to his CEO job in ''The Sims 3''. The reason for this is left to the imaginations of individual players. His relationship with his wife appears to have improved greatly and scores a 98/100.

===Life leading up to ''The Sims 2''===

His hairline has receded since ''[[The Sims]]'', and his hair has gone completely grey. He wears a blacknavy blue suit with a striped blue tie. According to his SimDNA in [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]], his hair was black before it turned grey, implying that he dyed his hair brown in ''[[The Sims 3]]''. According to his age data, he had 17 days left in the [[elder]] [[life stage]] when he died. Oddly, he has partial relations to multiple dead Sims such as ancestors to the Pleasant, Burb, Caliente, Lothario, Dreamer and Oldie families as well as NPCs such as [[Hula Zombie]] and the [[Grim Reaper]]. His deceased family members, as well as some other dead ancestors also share this quirk.

In ''[[The Sims]]: [[Unleashed]]'', Gunther lived with [[Cornelia Goth|Cornelia]] and their cats [[Hecuba Goth|Hecuba]] and [[Menelaus Goth|Menelaus]] in a large mansion at [[77 Maple Street]] of [[Old Town]], a little further from [[Neighborhood 1|Sim Lane]]. The home has a small graveyard (like almost all Goth homes) but there are no ghosts so it is not known who is buried there. Perhaps, Gunther died in a fire in the mansion, then Cornelia died in the [[The Goth Home|Goth home]], which then was re-constructed into a new and improved house for [[Mortimer Goth|Mortimer]], [[Cassandra Goth|Cassandra]] and [[Alexander Goth]] in ''[[The Sims 2]]''. In ''[[The Sims 3]]'' Gunther, his wife Cornelia and son Mortimer live in a big house by the cemetery.

*Gunther's career track being changed from Educationeducation in ''The Sims'' to Businessbusiness in ''The Sims 3'' may be because the Educationeducation track is not present in ''The Sims 3'' base game.

*Interestingly, in the ''The Sims'', a Minister of Education will eventually switch careers and become a President in the [[Business (career)#The Sims|Businessbusiness]] track. Gunther's switch from Businessbusiness to Educationeducation mirrors that.

*In ''The Sims 2'', Gunther uses a character portrait pose that was discontinued during development. If his appearance is changed using the mirror, and no [[Content pack|expansion packs]] are installed, he will use the same character portrait pose as [[Kent Capp]]. This also happens with [[Simon Crumplebottom]].

*His lifetime wish in ''The Sims 3'' is to master 3 skills. He appears to be close to achieving that wish in ''The Sims'', as he almost maximized his Charismacharisma, Creativitycreativity, and Logiclogic skills.

*Interestingly, while Gunther is an adult very close to becoming an elder in ''The Sims 3'', he apparently lived at the time of his grandchild Alexander's birth, something that is very unlikely to happen in-game.
