Personally, I always thought they are arch-nemesis of each other. I think most of us do.
But looking back at the past Sims 3 game, Sunset Valley bio, it seems they are actually working with each other, rather than fighting with each other.
Now I think they are kind of the Yin & Yang of the community, with a good cop & bad cop dynamic.
What do you think? And what will be your own story about them based on this "canon"?

Otherwise, Geoffrey is apart of long-con investigation into the Landgraab household. Mostly out of guilt for his good nature clashing so heavily against what his household stood against. As for the Goths...well, Bella is still very much into Aliens. She's hoping the get the influence to turn the Lounge into a Bar so that Alien Night could be there. Otherwise, she's just staring outside at the stars...
Landgraabs want light and modern fancy town
Goths want dark and gothic fancy town
I don't feel like there is active feud just more like difference in opinions and bit of competition
although I feel like they do not exactly enjoy each others company because of their differences
aaand yes my personal alignment more often says Landgraabs are evil and Goths are friend
although no one is ever just good or evil
you can be very evil to someone meanwhile very good to someone else
I also tend to feel like Landgraabs are probably anti occult while Goths are pro occult
but then again I noticed Landgraabs have lots of sea related names
which is curious so I kinda feel like introducing some mermaids to their life
ooor maybe thats exactly why they don't like occults
maybe they did have some mermaid trouble before
I've also always felt they're like okay with aliens because of the modernity and techy stuff
like I wouldn't be surprised if they had extraterrestial dealings
there was all that cloning business in into the future after all

The Landgraabs, while canonically going back a few generations though the games, are more "new money". They're into new business ventures, they built Foxbury university, they're modern. I think Nancy must have married Geoffrey for love, as he's neither rich nor smoking hot. Maybe he's just a really great guy? I guess she has enough money and looks for both of them (she had plastic surgery, after all). Or maybe she accidentally got pregnant with Johnny and had to marry Geoffrey so it wouldn't cause a scandal.
I like pairing up Cassandra Goth and Malcolm Landgraab in my games to create some tension between the families, but I also had one game where I randomly went to play as the Goths a few days into a new save, and when I looked at Mortimer's relationship panel, he was somehow very in love with Nancy, so that created some drama. (I assume MCCC did that)
What an interesting insight, I love your take !
I actually made Nancy and Bella both spellcasters, with Nancy being envious that Bella is from a family of spellcasters - and therefore finds magic easier than Nancy who doesn't come from that background.
That she and Geoffrey work together doesn't help (though they are strictly platonic)
And now with the HSY pack, this rivalry goes back to High School.
