Line 86:
It is possible that Michael Bachelor in ''The Sims'' was not originally supposed to be related to Bella in the first place, but to be a separate character. The revelation of Bella's original surname, and her relationship to Michael Bachelor, was later coined by Maxis for ''The Sims 2'' to explain what had happened to some of Pleasantview's notable built-in characters, as the game was a sequel to the original ''The Sims'' game{{fact}}. However, Michael and Bella use the "Asian" head skins and both have tan skin, so it's possible they were always meant to be related.
Also, his appearance and biography in ''The Sims'' suggest a young man in his early twenties, yet the 25 years between the ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims'' would make him in his late 30s at least. While it's possible for him to have gone to college and graduated later in life, it doesn't really fit with his original portrayal as someone just starting out in life. Even ignoring ''The Sims 3'', there are still plotholes caused by Michael's age: in the original game, Michael should be in his early or mid-20s. Yet by the sequel, set 25 years later, he had died of old age. Based on his age in the original game, this means he died of "old age" at around 50. Even including ''The Sims 3'', he would have died of old age at around 65. Usage of the [[Elixir of Life]] either to prolong or shorten his life could explain this. According to
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.
