The origins of the Simkuza leader is all but a mystery. All anyone really knows about him is his love for his family, and his talent for brewing the perfect cup of tea.
The Goths are no strangers to money and power. The founding family of Cosa Simstra, the Goth name carries weight within the organization and throughout the greater Bridgeport area. But with a tragic death in the family and a sudden change in leadership, some within the organization see this as an opportunity to put an end to the Goth reign. With the lines increasingly blurring between friend and foe, can the Goth family remain on top?
~ MORE UNDER THE CUT ~
Don Mortimer Goth, the "Capo de Capi"
Mortimer Goth was hesitant to get involved in the family business. An inquisitive yet reserved young man growing up, few within the organization saw him capable of filling his father's shoes as Don of Cosa Simstra. But with the murder of the elder Goth and a failed assassination attempt on his own life, Mortimer had no choice but to take over the mantle. He's trying to be the strong leader the organization and his family need, but he still has a long way to go before he can earn their respect.
Bella Goth
The beautiful, Bella Goth has gained a reputation for being a master manipulator. Behind her charming smile and personality is a woman heavily involved in her husband's organization. So much so, some within Cosa Simstra question whether it is actually Mortimer or Bella making the big decisions… A devoted mother and wife, she will do whatever she needs to protect her family.
Cassandra Goth
The oldest Goth child is the quietest and most mysterious of the bunch. Instead of worrying about the “family business”, she spends most of her time dedicated to her scientific pursuits. But these days, Cassandra finds herself distracted by her fiancé's distant behavior and their upcoming wedding.
Alexander Goth
Alexander is a highly intelligent individual, but also quite gullible. As the presumed heir to the Goth Family and Cosa Simstra, he is eager to prove that he will be ready to take his father's place when the time comes. Unfortunately, that means he often puts himself in risky situations to impress others.
Michael Bachelor
Since being medically discharged from the military after a campaign gone wrong, Michael has relied heavily on alcohol to battle his personal demons. Known to struggle with understanding boundaries and staring a bit too long at the dancers at Porkie’s, Bella is finding it increasingly difficult to care for her older brother and clean up his mistakes.
The Grand Dame of Cosa Simstra is a woman of tradition and conservative values. Daughter of Victor Goth, the first Don of Cosa Simstra, Mrs. Crumplebottom grew up in the thick of greed, violence, and corruption. So, do not let the shiny pearls and posh manners fool you. She can be as ruthless and unforgiving as they come...
Ladies in Waiting
While Cosa Simstra does not allow women to join the organization in an official capacity, Mrs. Crumplebottom has and continues to play a vital role in The Family's affairs. With their combined social and political influence, her "social club" has helped the organization stay relevant in the city. Don Goth is thankful for her loyalty and dedication, but Mrs. Crumplebottom wants more than praises. What is the Grand Dame plotting in that little, black bag of hers?
Raised from humble beginnings, Jiaho Cho only had a dollar and a dream when he opened his first club in the city. Fast forward decades later, Mr. Cho finds himself the king of SanMy's nightlife with an empire of high end clubs spread across the district.
With a booming clientele flushed with cash and a rumored partnership with the Simkuza, Mr. Cho's grip on the city's entertainment industry seems unshakable.
Elysium Nightclub
When designing Elysium, Mr. Cho wanted to push the limits of what a club could be. To blur the lines between fantasy and reality, and redefine the clubbing experience. So, Elysium is not just some mega dance club to go party and get wasted. (Well, you can do that too if you'd like!) It is an adult wonderland where sims can set themselves free and embrace their true desires.
(You can download the club here)
The Staff
Behind every powerful sim is a team doing most of the work. In Mr. Cho's case, it's his personal assistant, Kendra Stancil. And unfortunately for her, her backup is Elysium manager and Mr. Cho's former boy toy, Cisco. The two may be complete opposites and butt heads most of the time, but they manage to keep the club up and running...
When it comes to the dancers of Elysium, only the best of the best are accepted. (Or sims pretty enough to catch Mr. Cho's eye...) Tish Polanski, lead dancer and former mistress of the boss, works hard to make sure no guest leaves Elysium unsatisfied.
The Family is anxiously awaiting the upcoming nuptials of Donatello Lothario and Cassandra Goth. Don Goth and his wife are especially excited to see their only daughter, one half of their beating heart, blessed with a union filled with love and happiness like their own...
(music at bottom of the thread)
Having known each other since they were children, it seems the young couple were always meant to be. But is it truly destiny that has intertwined their fates? It is no secret Donatello's father has much to gain from his son's marriage to the Don's daughter. And the Don himself is in desperate need of allies as the cracks continue to deepen within the organization...
But whether it's fate or manipulation, Cassandra's heart sings true with her feelings for Donatello. The man she has loved since she was a child, she cannot wait until the day they cement their union at the altar...
But can the same be said about the young Casanova? No one ever imagined marriage would be in the cards for Donatello, especially Donatello himself... Is he truly ready to give up his bachelor ways for one sim?
The results of the Bridgeport mayoral election have drastically changed the criminal landscape of the city, giving the Simkuza virtually full control of the streets and city hall.
With the threat of being pushed out of Bridgeport becoming increasingly real, now more than ever, unity and solidarity is needed between the powerful families of Cosa Simstra. But can Don Goth and Don Alto set aside their differences and bring their two families together? Or will all the lies, greed, and animosity prove too much for the organization to overcome?
Born from the hard labor and love of Komorebian and Tomarangian immigrants, this once humble commercial street has bloomed into the rich and vibrant neighborhood affectionately known today as Little East Asia. Hosting a plethora of family-owned businesses spanning over generations, LEA prides itself on its rich heritage and cultural roots. But under the warm glow of the lanterns, the far reaching influence of the Simkuza still looms in the shadows, offering a protective yet threatening presence in the neighborhood.
More photos under the cut…
The Main Street of LEA which hosts many shops, markets, and restaurants. Although the area has seen an influx of tourists and sims from other parts of the city, the makeup of the neighborhood still remains predominantly that of Komorebian and Tomarangian ethnicity.
Son’s Rotary Sushi and Grill
Originally opened several decades ago as a butcher shop, Son’s transformations over the years is a clear sign of the times. In a desperate attempt to stay relevant, Mr. Son has turned the store into a rotary sushi restaurant. But due to his cheap nature, the rotary part of the restaurant is questionable as customers have to push the sushi plates themselves over the hardwood tabletops…
One of many illegal gambling halls in the neighborhood. Although, there is current legislation being discussed about the legalization of such activities in the city, those talks seem to be going nowhere. So, until then, many of Bridgeport’s citizens continue to flock to the back rooms of LEA’s storefronts to scratch their gambling itch.
Me Me’s Florist Shop
One of the most renown florists in the city, Ms. Ayame offers an impressive array of floral arrangements, ranging from traditional to more contemporary creations. The owner’s talents speak for itself, but it’s no secret that much of the stores success is owed to her husband, Mr. Shimamoto, the Oyabun of the Simkuza.
Crime Alley
No name suits this dark alley better than “Crime Alley”. While many of the residents have made strides to make LEA a better place for all, the neighborhood still struggles to escape the darkness and violence that has so long marred its streets...
Built as part of the city council's "Touch Grass" initiative, the Bridgeport Botanical Gardens serves as a green oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city. Thanks to a generous donation from the Landgraab family, the gardens host a variety of attractions and nature exhibits for sims of all ages to enjoy!
