Goshem Loste is one of the pre-made, yet unplayable Sims featured in The Sims 2 as ancestors of playable, pre-created Sims. Though deceased when the game begins, he can be seen in the family tree of the playable Sim Kristen Loste, who is his granddaughter. Goshem resided, during his lifetime, in Strangetown, one of the neighborhoods that ships with the game. He was the husband of the deceased Vera Loste, the father of Arty Loste, and the grandfather of Kristen Loste. Like his wife, Goshem's name may be a pun, as it sounds like "Gosh I'm Lost".
