==Biography==

In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', Michael is a teen Sim living with his parents, [[Jocasta Bachelor|Jocasta]] and [[Simis Bachelor]], and his younger sister [[Bella Goth|Bella]]. He is dressed in a "jock" style 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. His skin is lighter than it was in older Sim games. His eyes are also brown, while in ''The Sims 2'', they are light blue. 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 of his family is [[Mortimer Goth]]. He has a love for the outdoors, so he doesn't mind helping Jocasta in the garden. When the family is first played, Michael is 13 days from being a [[young adult]].

 

In ''[[The Sims]]'', Michael is similar to the character of "[[Wikipedia:The Graduate|The Graduate]]" as he recently graduated from college and doesn't know what to do with his life. He starts in [[Neighborhood 1]]'s [[Family bin]]. He wears blue jeans, blue and white sneakers and a blue-grey [[Sim State University]] shirt. His last name was meant to match his state, which is unmarried and living alone. It should be noted that in this very first game, his relations to Bella Goth are not mentioned and he was treated as a separate character from her family.

 

In ''The Sims 3'', he is Bella's older brother. However, in ''The Sims'', when he has just graduated college, Bella is already married with a daughter (and appears to be slightly older than him). This might suggest that he went to community college first and took a while to graduate, whereas Bella did not go to college, married Mortimer, and had Cassandra by the time Michael graduated. There also is the idea that he might have used some sort of elixir to stay young while Bella grew older or later on he was prematurely aged.

 

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. The player 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]]. Yet again, his relation to Bella Goth is not stated and he remains a separate character from her line of the family.

 

In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', Michael is already a deceased [[elder]] 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 [[170 Main Street|the Caliente sisters' condo]].

 

When resurrected, Michael recognizes Dina as family, and can perform exclusive interactions such as "family kiss" in addition to romantic interactions. Bella will appear in his relationship panel, but he will be unable to call her. Michael's facial structure is identical to that of the 2nd face template in Create a Sim, except the slightly customized upper lip. But the difference is so small that it normally can only be proven through BodyShop. Oddly, when trying to view his DNA page in SimPE, it will appear blank. This oddity also happens with Michael's sister [[Bella Goth|Bella]], and [[Darleen Dreamer]]. If you use the Prints Charming Fingerprint scanner{{fact}} in a barely-played Pleasantview, you will find his fingerprints all over the entire neighborhood. The prints of other dead or missing Sims can also be found, but Michael's are by far the most prevalent, being easily found in every playable house and some of the empty ones. Even though Michael is thin, his [[Fitness (attribute)|fitness]] level indicates that he is supposed to be fit. His sister Bella also has this case.

 

For some reason, there are two Michael Bachelors. One wears a purple and white track suit and has medium skin with 14 days left in the Elder stage. The other has tan skin, wears a black shirt, and has 101 days left as an Elder. The Michael Bachelor with tan skin has relations with Dina Caliente, Bella Goth, Simis Bachelor, Jocasta Bachelor, Alexander Goth, and Cassandra Goth, while the medium-skinned Michael Bachelor's relations were partially removed. The Michael with tan skin has the Knowledge aspiration, while the other has the Popularity aspiration. The Michael with tan skin also has the Leo zodiac sign,and no personality points, while the other has the Aries zodiac sign and the personality points 5, 8, 6, 3, 3. In [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]], both Michael Bachelors are ticked as ghosts.
