''Gunther brought his family from the old country when his son, Mortimer, was just a lad. Having amassed quite a fortune, he is founding father of the neighborhood.''
''You can tell just by looking at him that Gunther Goth comes from old money. But he doesn't seem arrogant or greedy, just comfortable with the fact that he has been rich all his life.''
In The Sims 2, Gunther is one of the pre-created, yet unplayable Sims featured as ancestors of playable, pre-created Sims. Though deceased when the game begins, you can see him in the relationship tree of playable Sim Mortimer Goth, who is his son, as well as those of his grandchildren, Cassandra Goth and Alexander Goth.
Gunther lives with his family, Cornelia and Mortimer Goth, in a big house by the graveyard. There is no specific mention of him being the founding father of the neighborhood, but he has many good friends and the description of Goth Manor describes it as the first house built in town. He has long auburn hair with a flambouyant top hat. He is a CEO in the Business career track, and although married to Cornelia, he does not have an outstanding relationship with her (they do not want to WooHoo with each other), and he appears to have never even met her sister, despite that she is Cornelia's best friend.
Life leading up to The Sims
Gunther and his wife Cornelia Goth, along with their two cats, Hecuba and Menelaus, first appeared in The Sims: Unleashed. He is the founding father of the neighborhood, which made him very rich indeed. His hair is gray or white around the edges, and black on top, which is a bit odd since his hair in The Sims 3 is brown. He wears a phantom-like dark gray tux with tails and a light gray bow tie. He is a Dean in the Education career track, and his relationship with his wife appears to have recovered to 100%.
When first played in Neighborhood 1, he will have no relationships with Mortimer, Bella, and Cassandra.
Life leading up to The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, Gunther and Cornelia had lost their lives in two separate fires. He died when his second grandchild, Alexander, was born. His wife died a bit later, just before their son, Mortimer, retired. He is buried in the new Goth home with Cornelia, his parents, father in-law and sister in-law. His hairline has receded since The Sims, and his hair has gone completely gray. He wears a black suit with a striped blue tie.
