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.[1]
Through a teleporter mishap, Don spent an unspecified amount of time in Riverview.
His ancestors appear to be just like him, as some of them are Romance Sims, and also appear to have an Italian heritage.
Don's house depicts a 1990s bachelor's condo, with pictures of girls (including the Bella Squared painting), a hot tub and a bar. The brick walls on the first floor give the feeling of a '90s condo, mainly.
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 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).
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.
Onomatology
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.
Nicolo Lothario (Don's father): Italian, meaning "Victory of the People".
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.

Description
Use this template to create a reference list in small font for an article. Note that there is no consensus that small font size should always be used for all references; when normal-sized font is more appropriate on an article, use <references />
instead.[2]
Syntax
Type {{reflist|<...>}}
where you would normally type <references/>
. If used with no parameters, it will produce a reference list with a single column.
Multiple columns
Using {{reflist|2}}
will create a two-column reference list, and {{reflist|3}}
will create a three-column list. Three-column lists are inaccessible to users with smaller/laptop monitors and should be avoided.
Using {{reflist|colwidth=30em}}
will allow the browser to automatically choose the number of columns based on the width of the web browser. Choose a column width that's appropriate for the average width of the references on the page.
Multiple columns only work on Internet Explorer 10+, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox 2+, Google Chrome 4+, Safari 3.1+, Opera 11.1+, and any browsers based on them. Older web browsers may not display multiple columns correctly.
Sample output
{{reflist}}
gives...

CSS used
