In The Sims 3 the prequel to The Sims, Jocasta Bachelor and Simis Bachelor are adults, living with their daughter, Bella Bachelor, who is a child, and their son, Michael Bachelor, who's a teenager. The Bachelor family is portrayed as being a picturesque, tight-knit family. It is clear that the family is close, as all of the members of the family are friends with one another. According to the bio, Simis Bachelor is the head of the household who imposes strict rules for everyone to abide by. Jocasta, meanwhile, is mainly a housewife and stay-at-home mom (even though she has a part-time job, at the book store) to Michael and Bella, the "well-behaved" kids in the neighborhood.
