Cornelia Goth

Cornelia Goth or Cornelia Goth Sr is a pre-created, playable sim in The Sims that premiered in the Unleashed expansion pack with her husband, Gunther Goth, and their two cats, Hecuba and Menelaus. She is the matriarch of the Goth Family and Pleasantview.

Cornelia was born in the Old Country, and then she moved to Sunset Valley, which was then renamed Old Town in The Sims Unleashed, and was renamed again as Pleasantview in The Sims 2. She is the mother of Mortimer Goth, husband to the now famous Bella Goth. Cornelia was the wife of Gunther Goth, and the daughter of Simon Crumplebottom and Prudence Crumplebottom, both of Pleasantview; she has one sibling, Agnes Crumplebottom.

Life leading up to The Sims
Cornelia Goth and her husband Gunther Goth are introduced in The Sims Unleashed with their two cats Hecuba and Menelaus. In her bio, she is glad that her granddaughter, Cassandra, is so nearby. She is the founder of the Sim City Bridge Society, and enjoys high tea and phrenology. She wears a long and elegant black/grey/silver dress.

Life leading up to The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, Cornelia Goth along with her husband had died from two separate fires. She died when her son Mortimer retired. Her husband had died much earlier, when her second grandchild, Alexander was born. She is buried in the new Goth home with Gunther, her father, sister, father and mother in-law and sister in-law. She wears a long black dress (although it wasn't as fancy as the one she wore in The Sims) and round glasses. Like Mama Lothario, she has an unused hairstyle.

Life leading up to The Sims 3
Since The Sims 3 is supposed to be a prequel to The Sims, Cornelia and Gunther were adults. Her appearance is, somewhat of a goth, with purple hairstyle. She wears a long, dark purple/black dress.

Homes
See The Goth Home.

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

Trivia
Cornelia's appearance was likely based on real life actress Helen Mirren.
