The '''
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 abandonned granery 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]] and [[Kaylynn Langerak]] from ''[[The Sims 2]]
▲'''The Lothario Family''' is a premade 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 was Don Baxter in an early preview of the game, with the same appearance and 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, and lived in a sprawling estate with a large pool.<ref>See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykLyJ3k1zDM</ref>

His ancestors appear to be just like him, as some of them are Romance Sims, and also appear to have an Italian heritage.
Line 31 ⟶ 36:
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.
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 (
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.
{{FamilyPage
|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 Italian name seems fitting, seeing as Don is of Italian descent. Also, the Lothario theme fits very well.
'''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 of him.

'''Carmelo Lothario'''
'''Mama Lothario'''
▲'''Nicolo Lothario''' (Don's father): Italian, meaning "Victory of the People".
'''Primo Fiorello'''
'''Isabella Fiorello'''
▲'''Adriana Lothario''' (Don's mother): Is an Italian name, derived from Hadria, a town in northern Italy. The town name might in turn possibly stem from an old Indo-European word "adur" meaning water or sea. Likely Maxis just thought it sounded nice.

▲'''Carmelo Lothario''' (Don's paternal grandfather): Spanish and Italian masculine form of Carmel, meaning garden and named after Mt. Carmel, mentioned in the Old Testament.
▲'''Mama Lothario''' (Don's paternal grandmother): Slang for an attractive woman. May also refer to the idea she is the mother or "mama" of Don's father.
▲'''Primo Fiorello''' (Don's maternal grandfather): Italian name meaning "first." Also literally means "Cousin" in Spanish.
▲'''Isabella Fiorello''' (Don's maternal grandmother): Italian form of Isabel or Elizabeth, in turn from Hebrew Elisheba, meaning "My God Is An Oath". Might also be tongue-in-cheek "is a beauty" in this case as per the meaning of Bella.
