She resided, during her lifetime, in the Sunset Valley neighborhood that ships with The Sims 3. She is the mother of Bella and Michael Bachelor. She is also wife of Simis Bachelor. Her parents are unknown and never mentioned in The Sims 2, and, unlike the parents of her husband, Simis Bachelor, are not mentioned in The Sims 3.

Life leading up to The Sims 3
In The Sims 3, Jocasta Bachelor is an adult living with her husband, Simis, teenage son, Michael and younger daughter, Bella in Sunset Valley. She works as a Book Store Clerk. Jocasta's main priority is keeping her family happy, but her other hobbies include gardening, fishing, and sometimes cooking, though she doesn't have a lot of time to enjoy them. Her lifetime wish is to have a "Perfect Garden".

Appearance
When compared to her appearance in The Sims 2, Jocasta's appearance in The Sims 3 is more that of a housewife and mother kind of woman. She seems to be thicker than she was in The Sims 2, and she has her brown hair tied in a bun, probably for practical purposes. She wears an orange tank top with yellow capris. The colour of her eyes was changed to dark brown and the colour of her lipstick to bright red.

Personality
Jocasta's personality traits in The Sims 3 are Over Emotional, Loner, Green Thumb, Coward and Angler. The "Loner" trait seems to be chosen incorrectly because Jocasta's aspiration is Popularity and she is even Outgoing in The Sims 2. However, it is possible that Jocasta outgrew the "Loner" trait and became more of an outgoing and popular person. Other traits are completely unique. Jocasta's Opportunities/Wishes are mostly about Gardening. She grows her own garden in the backyard, which is the biggest garden in Sunset Valley.

Life leading up to The Sims 2
By the time the storyline has caught to The Sims 2, Jocasta Bachelor is already deceased, as is her husband, Simis Bachelor. Her son, Michael Bachelor, died of old age shortly after marrying Dina Caliente. This leaves Jocasta's daughter, Bella Goth and her grandchildren, Cassandra and Alexander Goth as her only living descendants. Jocasta died in the Elder stage, hinting that she could've died of old age, however her grave is nowhere to be found. For that reason, her cause of death is unknown, as she has no ghost, and it's impossible to resurrect her. Since Cassandra Goth has no memories of both Simis and Jocasta's deaths, it is possible that they died around the time she was born.

Appearance
Jocasta's appearance in The Sims 2 is apparently slimmer and more elegant compared to her appearance in The Sims 3. She also doesn't have her hair tied in a bun. The colour of her eyes is dark blue, and her lipstick is a light orange shade.
