Michael Bachelor

Michael Bachelor is a playable character in The Sims and The Sims 3. His family is one of the three famous starter families in The Sims. In The Sims 2, he is the late husband of Dina Caliente and the brother of Bella Goth. As his last name suggests, he is a bachelor for most of the game.

Life leading up to The Sims 3
In The Sims 3, Michael is a teen Sim living with his parents, Jocasta & Simis Bachelor, and his younger sister Bella. He is somewhat like a jock since he's dressed like one, and he has the schmoozer and athletic traits. His other two traits are Loves the Outdoors and Friendly. Michael's wishes are mostly about athleticism and improving relationships. He can be seen at school and the local gym. His bio states he has lots of friends at school, but it can be assumed that they don't live in Sunset Valley, as at the start of the game, his only friend outside his family is Mortimer Goth. He has a love for the outdoors, so he doesn't mind helping Jocasta in the garden. He seems to be the perfect friend for Parker Langerak, as the are both athletic and friendly, however the two don't even know each other.

Life leading up to The Sims
In The Sims, Michael is similar to the character of "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.

Life leading up to The Sims (Console)
In The Sims (Console), Michael has black Mohawk hair, black glasses, blue shirt, brown pants and brown sandals. He is in the Family bin alone and without a home. You must build him one in order to be played. His sister, Bella Goth, lives with her husband Mortimer Goth and daughter Cassandra Goth in 5 Sim Avenue.

Life leading up to The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, Michael is an elder and already deceased, and is revealed to be Bella Goth's older brother. Before his death, 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, however she does not have the memory of marrying a rich Sim. There is some speculation that she may have murdered him, but the color of his ghost indicates that he died of old age. Alternatively, in Dina's memories, she first kissed him when she was a teen and fell in love with him before having WooHoo, possibly meaning that their marriage was genuine. She also may have fallen in love with him before his elder transition, though the family album shows her marrying him as an elder.

The Two Michael Bachelors
For some reason, there are 2 Michael Bachelors. One wears a purple and white track suit and has tan skin, with 13 days left in the Elder stage. The other has light skin, wears a black shirt and has 100 days left in Elder. The Michael Bachelor with light skin has relations with Dina Caliente, Bella Goth, Simis Bachelor, Jocasta Bachelor, Alexander Goth and Cassandra Goth, the tan skinned Michael Bachelor has no relations. The Michael with light skin has the knowledge aspiration, while the other has popularity. The Michael with light skin also has the Leo zodiac sign, and no personality points, while the other one has the Aries zodiac sign and the personality points 5, 8, 6, 3, 3. In SimPE, both Michael Bachelors are ticked as ghosts. Judging by his personality in The Sims 3, the tan-skinned Michael wearing the track suit may be the authentic one.

For memories, tan skin Michael Bachelor has four memories: [invisible] Reputation Aspiration, [invisible]Token- Sim- Initialized, and two [invisible] Token - I Am Dead(s). The light skin Michael Bachelor has three memories - [Invisible] Token-Sim-Initialized, and two [invisible] Token -I Am Dead(s).

Trivia

 * He seems to have gotten a tan between The Sims 3, and The Sims.
 * In The Sims and The Sims 3, he has brown eyes, but in The Sims 2, his eyes are grey.
 * In The Sims 3, his bio states that he has lots of friends at school. However, he has only one friend at the beginning of the game, which is Mortimer Goth.
 * In The Sims 2, he is still considered as Dina Caliente's Husband on her family tree, even though martial statuses are usually lost when a sim dies.
 * In The Sims 3, he is Bella's older brother. Yet in The Sims, when he has just graduated college, Bella is already married with a daughter which might suggest that he went to community college and then regular college and took a while whereas Bella did not go to college and married Mortimer and had Cassandra by the time Michael graduated.
