Roth family

Similarities to the Goths
The Roth Family has various resemblances to the Goth Family. Firstly the family names. Their family name, Roth, is so similar to the Goth's to the point it is one letter away from being the same. Morty is very similar to Mortimer, as is Stella to Bella, Xander to Alexander, and Sandra to Cassandra. They also have a mirror reversed version of the Goth household, although the house is a lot brighter than the Goths' home. Other similarities are that Stella Roth stays away longer when she gets abducted. Usually, when a Sim is abducted, he or she stays away for up to 4 hours, Stella stays away for 7. Another similarity between Bella and Stella is that they both wear a red dress, and Stella has similar hobbies to Bella (playing piano, painting).

Differences to the Goths
The Roths are similar to the Goths on many levels, but they are also are very different. For instance, the Roths dress a lot brighter than any of the Goths. Stella (The Roths' version of Bella Goth) hasn't disappeared, and remains with her family. Most of the family (excluding Xander) doesn't notably resemble the Goths in facial features. The Roths are unpopular in Riverblossom Hills, a problem most Goths never had to deal with in Pleasantview. Possibly the most notable difference is the Roths' dress code, and lifestyle. Whilst the Goths mainly dress in dark, traditional-style clothes, the Roths are very notably much more modern and "cooler" than the Goth family. The Goths always believed in traditional, strict upbringing, while the Roths are all about being modern. Annabel Goldstein, a parody of Freida Goth, is married and has a child, Betty Goldstein.
