Simis Bachelor

Simis Bachelor is one of the pre-created, yet unplayable Sims featured in The Sims 2 and one of the pre-created, playable Sims featured in The Sims 3. Though deceased when The Sims 2 begins, you can see him in the relationship trees of playable Sims Cassandra Goth and Alexander Goth, who are his grandchildren. He resided, during his lifetime, in the Sunset Valley, neighborhood that ships with The Sims 3. He is the father of Bella and Michael Bachelor. He is also husband of Jocasta Bachelor. His parents are Milton and Enriqueta Bachelor.

Life leading up to The Sims 3
In The Sims 3, Simis Bachelor is an adult living with his wife, Jocasta, teenage son, Michael and younger daughter, Bella in Sunset Valley. He works as a journalist and although he has the "Frugal" trait, his lifetime wish is to "Live in the Lap of Luxury". He likes to spend time watching television.

Appearance
Simis's appearance didn't change much in The Sims 3. He still has short hair, but without a fringe, and his hair is brown rather than the gray it will be in The Sims 2. His clothes are similar to clothes he wears in The Sims 2. He wears a brown jacket and blue shirt with white lines. He also wears brown pants. He still has brown eyes, but they are a darker shade, instead of light brown as in The Sims 2.

Personality
His traits are Neurotic, Inappropriate, Handy, Frugal and Family Oriented, which is quite strange because Simis's aspiration is Romance in The Sims 2. The decision to not make him like a romantic Sim was probably done by developers to fit his character more into the typical "father" role. Other traits are completely unique.

Life leading up to The Sims 2
By the time the storyline has caught up to The Sims 2, Simis Bachelor is already deceased, as is his wife, Jocasta Bachelor. His son, Michael Bachelor, died of old age shortly after marrying Dina Caliente. This leave Simis's daughter, Bella Goth and his grandchildren, Cassandra and Alexander Goth as his only living descendants. Simis died in the elder stage, hinting that he could've died of old age, however his grave is nowhere to be found. For that reason, his cause of death is unknown, as he has no ghost, and it's impossible to resurrect him. Since Cassandra Goth has no memories of Simis and Jocasta's deaths, it is possible that they died around the time she was born. That would (retroactively) explain why they did not appear in The Sims.

Personality
When it comes to Simis's personality in The Sims 2, his aspiration is Romance and his zodiac sign is Libra. He is mostly interested in Fashion, Culture and Sports. He is quite Outgoing (8.0); Nice (7.0) and Playful (6.0), but he is not very Neat (2.0) or Active (2.0).
