The Goths are my favorite. I love how they are very affluent and wealthy and aristocratic but have a shady side to them. To me they remind me of the Bates family from Bates Motel or Psycho. They're mysterious and I love them!!

I think the main inspiration for the Goths is the Addams family.

Mortimer and Bella are pretty close to Gomez and Morticia, considering both their looks, personality and high interest in morbid stuff aswell as involvement with supernatural stuff.

Cassandra's and Alexander's incarnation is pretty close to Wednesday Addams while the child version of Mortimer in The Sims 3 resembles Pugsley Addams in terms of his outfit.

Plus the Goth Villa in The Sims 3 was also designed in a similar fashion to the Addams House.




The way they were portrayed on the Makin' Magic promo pics is EXTREMELY similar to pictures of the Addams family.

Also, Gomez Addams is known for often kissing his wife on her arm and the goth family album in TS3 features a pic where Mortimer is doing exactly the same thing.

I so miss watching the old Addams Family TV show on TV. It always cracked me up when strangers would come knocking on the Addams door, and be met by the Addams Family's tall ghoulish looking butler Lurch. :)
ETA: Oh and speaking of Gothic families. Don't forget about The Munsters! B)
