The Ultimate Michael Bachelor

[sevenskellington]

Bella Goth's brother, a Maxis character who appears in all three Sims games, but is practically a different person in each one. In TS1, he's a young guy just out of college with black hair and olive skin. 25 years before that, in TS3, he's a teenager with light skin and brown hair (Thus retconning TS1 Michael to being almost forty) In TS2 they slapped his name on a face 2 template. I decided to combine all three of them and create the Ultimate Michael Bachelor.

sloppy/neat: 2
shy/outgoing: 8
lazy/active: 2
serious/playful: 6
grouchy/nice: 7

Zodiac: Leo
Aspiration: Popularity
Turn-ons: Blonde hair / Charisma

In TS1, Michael is a Libra, and in TS2 he's a Leo, so I made him a Leo with a Libra-ish personality. Dina Caliente is a Sagittarius, but she has the personality points of a Libra. Dina's zodiac/personality chemistry points tend to cancel each other out because Sims get chemistry points for having a similar personality, but Saggitarius has negative chemistry for Libra. Making Michael another mismatched sign gives them chemistry in both areas. However his original points are so crazy close to Dina's that they even as a Libra he can still get triple bolts with her if their turn-ons are compatible.

Very nice! Thank you for sharing.

I think you made a good call with his look. I lean more towards his Sim 1 looks as being accurate, because he has the same skintone as Bella there, the Sims 2 version seems like he was just phoned in with a generic Face 2, and Sims 3 is, well, Sims 3. :P I consider it an alternate timeline. I don't see how else to factor it in.

I really love your photos. They're gorgeous. The one on the bottom right looks like one of those official EA Sim illustrations. It's the lighting, I think. Very nicely done.

I think you may have made the perfect Michael. For me the biggest shame isn't the face inconsistencies... it's the fact he's dead at the start of Sims 2! I reckon if he was an alive pre-made he'd be one of the most played characters in town!

I have a little question due to the point that I already planned everything for Michael. Is he a young adult or adult?
If he is a young adult I have to think everything over and over again.

Thank you, this Michael will fit rather nicely in my game!

Ooh, loving the idea, and the result! Any chance you can try a Holly Alto & Erik Darling conversion? I'd love having these guys for part of this Pleasantview: Next Gen series I'm gonna do (they'd be both in flashbacks AND their children).

P.S.~ Lol, I love the Santa Baby reference in your Christmas layout. That song fits Dina TOO well here. =P

Hm. Do you know if there'd be a way to effectively replace the Michael Bachelors currently in my game (memories, tombstone, marital ties) with this one without ruining my game? This one's perfect, and the other two look nothing like I always imagined him.

I wish my game wasn't borked so I could download him!

And off topic, I really hate captchas. It's like, please confirm you are human, by re-typing illedgible gibberish!
