Not to be confused with Michael Bachelor.

This version of Michael Bachelor is hidden within the game's files, and he can be only seen in SimPE. He looks very similar to his counterpart, except that he wears a purple and white track suit and has medium skin, and dark blue eyes. Unlike his counterpart, he has no relationships with any other Sims in the family tree and he does not have any memories of them and of his life. It appears this Michael was the one used in one of the Caliente storytelling images, although the hair appears to be unused, and like many other Sims in storytelling images, his face appears slightly different.

Strangely, this version of Michael has genetics for red hair. Unlike his playable counterpart, this version seems to use one of the two broken face templates, though it's not possible to know exactly which, due to missing character data. His personality is also very different from how it was in The Sims, and his aspiration and personality is also completely different from the other Michael Bachelor, who has the Knowledge aspiration and a blank personality. Interestingly, according to SimPE this version of Michael was created with the rest of his family, while his resurrectable double was created later. This Michael was the 36th Sim created in Pleasantview, while the other Michael was the 156th.

If the player checks the Sim Relations resources with SimPE this version of Michael actually has relationships with the Calientes, Goths (except Mortimer), Jeff and Diane Pleasant, as well as the Crumplebottoms, though none of those show up in his Sim Description resource as they're unlinked.

If the player manages to successfully resurrect Michael he will crash the game upon spawning, this is because he uses a character portrait pose that was discontinued during development. Oddly, this Michael had a very high relationship with his sister-in-law, Nina Caliente. In fact, he had a much better relationship with Nina than with his own wife.
