The '''Lothario'''{{Listen|File:En ca Lothario.ogg|url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/0/0a/En_ca_Lothario.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20150721032031}} '''family''' is a pre-made family first found in ''[[The Sims 2]]''. The last living member of this family is the [[Pleasantview]] womanizer, [[Don Lothario]], who is largely involved in the Pleasantview love web. Don Lothario is probably based on Don Baxter from early previews of the game, who had a different appearance and was still chasing after Dina. The differences were that he was married to a woman named Sarah, had a toddler son named Alex who was about to age up, and lived in a sprawling estate with a large [[swimming pool]].<ref>See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykLyJ3k1zDM</ref>
Through a teleporter mishap, Don spent an unspecified amount of time in [[Riverview]]. He remembers women laughing and standing on a teleporter, and then waking up in the new town. Because of his recurring age, time travel is likely to have been involved. He seem to have been given an abandoned granary possibly owned by the [[McDermott Family]] to live in. He is wondering if he should continue his old romancer ways, and in his [[bio]], it refers to his engagement to [[Cassandra Goth]] and romances with [[Dina Caliente]], [[Nina Caliente]] and [[Kaylynn Langerak]] from ''[[The Sims 2]]''.
The males in the family all look similar, have similar personalities and [[Carmelo Lothario|Carmelo]] and [[Mama Lothario|Mama]] share Don's [[Romance]] [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspiration]].
Don's house is styled in the fashion of a 1990s bachelor's condo, with pictures of girls (including the Bella Squared painting), a [[hot tub]] and a [[Bar (object)#The Sims 2|bar]]. The brick walls on the first floor further adds to the feeling of a '90s condo.
|etymology = '''Lothario''': "A man who obsessively seduces and deceives women" or "a man who behaves selfishly in his WooHoo relationships with women". Lothario is also a term for any man who behaves in a way that he does. The names seem fitting, seeing as Don has Italian decent. Also, the Lothario theme still holds true for one or two of the names▼
If Don invites Cassandra over and she marries/moves in with him, instead of the other way around, she will bring with her around fifty thousand simoleons, which often leaves the player with more money then they would ever need, since Don lives in a small condo and doesn't have a lot of space for additional investments.
'''Don Lothario''': A "Don Juan" is basically a synonym for Lothario. Also, Donald (which Don is a common nickname for) means "ruler of the world". Don Lothario's name seems to be very fitting to him. ▼
At the game's start, the family is set up for disaster, similar to the setup when the [[Pleasant family|Pleasants]] are first played. The game will suggest inviting Nina over for a hot tub soak, and will shortly after suggest hiring Kaylynn to clean Don's messy house. Both Nina and Kaylynn are Don's lovers, and when they are both there with him, Don will often get caught. Usually, he will lose one of these lovers (more often he loses Kaylynn).
'''Nicolo Lothario''' (Don's father): Both Greek and Italian it means "Victory of the People". ▼
Although one possible gameplay sequence may hint that the scenario is set up for disaster, the "disaster" may never occur if a different sequence is followed. For example, if Don first invites Nina over for a soak in the hot tub and does a [[woohoo]] with her privately, he can ask her to leave and then clean up the mess. When he has cleaned up the first mess, the message will appear, saying that he needs to hire a maid. So, he hires a maid, which is likely to be Kaylynn. At this point, Don still has Nina and Kaylynn as his lovers. Disaster depends on how the game is played and how the situation is interpreted.
Also of note, inviting Nina over in the beginning will often result in her asking if she can bring a friend. Since she will usually bring Dina with her, this could create another bad scene if Don agrees to Nina's request.

==Trivia==
*[[Primo Fiorello]] and [[Isabella Fiorello]] look like [[Patrizio Monty|Patrizio]] and [[Isabella Monty]].
*Don is the only one in the family to have been playable at all.
*Due to the teleporter mishap, Don may actually be around the same age as his [[Nicolo Lothario|father]] or grandfather.
