Life leading up to The Sims
In The Sims, Michael is similar to the character "The Graduate" as he recently graduated from college and doesn't know what to do with his life. He starts in the Family Bin alone. He wears jeans, blue and white sneakers and a Sim State University shirt. His last name was meant to match his state, which is unmarried and living alone. Experiments have been done and it is shown that Chris Jones and Melissa Smith will flirt with him and fight each other to see who will get Michael.

Life leading up to The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, Michael is an elder and is already deceased, now recognized as Bella Goth's brother. Before he died, he married Dina Caliente, sister of Nina Caliente. His urn sits on a coffee table in the Caliente sisters' condo. It is believed that Dina married Michael for his money. There is some speculation that she may have killed him just for that. Alternatively, in Dina's memories, it says she fell in love with him before having WooHoo with him, possibly meaning that their marriage was genuine. Michael's ghost's color indicates that he died of old age.

Life leading up to The Sims 3
In the Sims 3, Michael's mother Jocasta Bachelor is pregnant with him. His father, Simis Bachelor, recently died. So he'll be born with his mother Jocasta Bachelor and his sister Bella Bachelor to take care of him. It is possible that Michael drunk some sort of potion which accelerated his aging process, explaining why he is already an adult in The Sims and an elder in The Sims 2.
