==Biography==
===Life leading up to The Sims 3===
In The Sims 3, Gunther lives with his family, Cornelia and Mortimer, in a large house located by the graveyard. There is no specific mention of him being the founding father of the neighborhood, but he has many good friends and on the Goth Manor is described as the first house built in town. Instead of the Goths being "heads" of the town, the Landgraab and Alto families seem to have more control over the town, though Goths appear to have been influential in creating the town's ethics.
Gunther has long brown hair, and wears a top hat. He also wears eyeliner. He is a CEO in the business career track, and although married to Cornelia, he does not have an outstanding relationship with her, as their relationship levels aren't even high enough to have them WooHoo with each other. This however contradicts Mortimer's bio, which says: "The Goths' strong marriage has produced a healthy boy named Mortimer." Also, it appears that he has never even met Cornelia's sister, Agnes Crumplebottom, even though Agnes is Cornelia's best friend. At the start of the game, Gunther is five days from becoming an elder.
Gunther's eyes are a very dark hue of greenPicture of Gunther's eyes in Create a Sim., but due to the way the eyes are textured, they appear completely black in-game.
===Life leading up to The Sims===
Gunther and his wife Cornelia, along with their two cats, Hecuba and Menelaus, first appeared in The Sims: Unleashed. He is the founding father of the neighborhood, which made him very rich. His hair is grey or white around the edges, and black on top, which is a bit odd since his hair in The Sims 3 is brown, but it's possible that this is because he is supposed to represent an elder Sim at this point in time.
He wears a gothic dark grey tuxedo with tails and a light grey bow tie. He is a Dean in the education career track, in contrast to his CEO job in The Sims 3. The reason for this is unknown, although the most likely reason for this is because the education career was not introduced until The Sims 3: Ambitions and was not present in the base game. His relationship with his wife appears to have improved greatly and scores a 98/100.
When first played in Neighborhood 1, he will have no relationships with Mortimer, Bella, and Cassandra.
===Life leading up to The Sims 2===
In The Sims 2, Gunther and Cornelia have lost their lives in two separate fires. He died when his second grandchild, Alexander, was born. His wife died a bit later, just before their son, Mortimer, retired. He is buried in the new Goth home with Cornelia, his parents, father in-law and sister in-law.
His hairline has receded since The Sims, and his hair has gone completely grey. He wears a navy blue suit with a striped blue tie. According to his SimDNA in SimPE, his hair was black before it turned grey, implying that he might have dyed his hair brown in The Sims 3. According to his age data, he had seventeen days left in the elder life stage when he died. Oddly, he has partial relations to multiple dead Sims such as ancestors to the Pleasant, Burb, Caliente, Lothario, Dreamer and Oldie families as well as NPCs such as the Hula Zombie and the Grim Reaper. His deceased family members, as well as some other dead ancestors also share this quirk.

==Homes==
In The Sims: Unleashed, Gunther lived with Cornelia and their cats Hecuba and Menelaus in a large mansion at 77 Maple Street of Old Town, a little further from Sim Lane. The home has a small graveyard like almost all Goth homes, but there are no ghosts, so it is not known who is buried there. Perhaps Gunther died in a fire in the mansion, then Cornelia died in the Goth home, which then was reconstructed into a new and improved house for Mortimer, Cassandra and Alexander Goth in The Sims 2. In The Sims 3 Gunther, his wife Cornelia and son Mortimer live in a big house by the cemetery.
==Trivia==
*A highway was named after Gunther, the Gunther Goth Highway.
*Gunther's career track being changed from education in The Sims to business in The Sims 3 may be because the education track is not present in The Sims 3 base game.
*Interestingly, in the The Sims, a Minister of Education will eventually switch careers and become a President in the business track. Gunther's switch from business to education mirrors that.
*In The Sims 2, Gunther uses an earlier version of a character portrait pose that was altered to a front facing view in the final game. If his appearance is changed using the mirror, and no expansion packs are installed, his character portrait pose will change to the front facing view version that Kent Capp uses. This also occurs with Simon Crumplebottom.
*His lifetime wish in The Sims 3 is to master three skills. He appears to be close to achieving that wish in The Sims, as he almost maximized his charisma, creativity, and logic skills.
*In The Sims: Unleashed, Gunther is referred to as Gunther Goth Sr even though there is no Gunther Goth, Jr. This is because "Goth Sr" is the household name used to differentiate Gunther and Cornelia's household from the pre-existing one in Neighborhood 1 containing Mortimer, Bella, and Cassandra, and The Sims uses the household name as the surname for every character within that household.
*Like many characters who appear in several generations of the game, Gunther's hair color is different in every game. In The Sims 3, Gunther's hair is auburn, while in The Sims: Unleashed, he has black hair heavily streaked with grey. In The Sims 2, his hair is fully grey, the only color available to elders in that game.
*Interestingly, while Gunther is an adult very close to becoming an elder in The Sims 3, he apparently lived at the time of his grandchild Alexander's birth, something that is very unlikely to happen in-game.
*In The Sims 4: Storybook Nursery Kit, the "Heirloom Crib" is described as an exact replica of one carved by Gunther.
