'''Jocasta Bachelor''' is one of the pre-created, yet unplayable [[SimsSim]]s 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, she can be seen in the [[relationship]] trees of playable Sims [[Cassandra Goth]] and [[Alexander Goth]], who are her grandchildren. She resided, during her lifetime, in the [[Sunset Valley]] [[neighborhood]] that ships with ''The Sims 3''. She is the mother of [[Bella Goth|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, are not mentioned in ''The Sims 3''. Her name may come from the Greek myth of Oedipus, where she unknowingly married her son, and when she realized this, she killed herself.

Jocasta's personality [[Trait (The Sims 3)|trait]]s 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 [[Trait (The Sims 3)|trait]]s 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.

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 after [[marry]]ing [[Dina Caliente]]. This leaves Jocasta's daughter, [[Bella Goth]] and her grandchildren, [[Cassandra Goth|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 [[gravestone|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 in normal circumstances. 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. That would (retroactively) explain why they did not appear in ''[[The Sims]]''. According to her SimDNA in [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]], her hair was blonde before it grayed.
