Michael Bachelor/theories

In The Sims 3, Michael is described as a popular teenager, in The Sims, he has few friends, in The Sims 2, there are two Michael Bachelor, both different in many ways, relations, aspiration, and zodiac. Why is there another Michael? Post your theories here.

while it is unlikely.
 * I think the Michael with the tan skin in the Sims 2 could be the real one because in the Sims 3 he is said to be Popularity and the tanned Michael in The Sims 2 has Popularity Aspiration. In the Sims 2 the lighter skinned Michael was the other Michael's Nemisis and replaced him and knocked him out which gave him amnesia, anyway, that might be rubbish, let Maxis decide.
 * It could be that one of the Michaels had glitched in development or something was incomplete like Skip Broke and the 3rd Broke baby
 * It's simple. Maxis screwed up yet again except this time they didn't make a cover story, like they did for Bella Goth. But if i had to agree with someone i would probably with the 2nd theory.
 * My theory (because I like to work around the continuity errors to add to my storyline ;P ) is that the Michael Bachelor in 'The Sims 3 'and The Sims 2 (e.g. Bella's older brother, Dina's late husband) is Michael Bachelor Sr. The Michael Bachelor in The Sims is Michael Bachelor Jr. Michael Sr was married for a long time before his brief affair with Dina, but was either widowed or divorced around the time Michael Jr graduated from college, just before the start of The Sims. I still haven't decided how to work the two Michaels from TS2 into my story yet, but I'll keep working on it. :) Beatrice Monty 20:39, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * If we're going by the previous theory, Michael Jr. would be 21-ish when he goes to college, so it's possible that in 4 years, Michael Sr. from TS3 aged up to a Young Adult, met Dina Caliene, had a kid, then, 21 years later, that kid went to college. On top of that, Michael Sr. is popular in TS3, which is why one of them has the Popularity aspiration and the other one, the one that went to college, has the Knowledge aspiration. On the other hand, Michael Sr. has 13 days left as an Elder, and the other has 100 days (wtf? One hundred?) left as an Elder. How could an Elder be the father of an Elder? Also, isn't it kinda strange that there's two Bellas and two Michaels? Maybe both Michael and Bella were abducted, then cloned, but both Michaels died of old age (the clone living older because it's made with alien technology...?) so the aliens brought their corpses back to Earth. I'm also beginning to accept these "time travelling" theories, after what happens to Don Lothario in Riverview in TS3, not to mention the addition of time machines in Ambitions. Actually time travelling could explain why both Michaels are Elders...
 * The light skinned is the real, more would be more certain he there the popularity aspiration, more he can used the ReNuYoSenso Orb,
