Malcolm is rich, chatty, charming,runs his own business, and has a giant house - the perfect bachelor.
A word of warning: Some people consider Malcolm’s children to be a bit… unfortunate-looking. He has very strong genetics, and they don’t always play nice with potential parents. Malcolm is also self-centered and can be a jerk. But who can’t overlook his personality flaws for the sake of his massive…bank account.
9Carlos Contender
I Coulda Been A Contender
Carlos Contender may be an elder, but it’s never too late to start over. His biography notes that he used to be a famous athlete with scores of fans and scores of lovers. Now that he is in his older age, he’s been thinking a lot about the past…and wants to live it again.
Carlos is on the search for love, no matter where it takes him. He has a very nice house in Belladonna Cove, complete with a stunning backyard, and his wealth is nothing to sneeze at. He does have a battalion of ‘friends’ who seem to have marriage on their minds, so strike while the iron is hot to make a match.
8Professors
Geniuses At Work
The Sims 2: University launched with playable universities, which of course came with Professors. While you may’t play as a professor, Professors are NPCS that can be fully interacted with. They can be befriended, which helps with your Sims' grades. They can also be romanced, which helps with your Sims' grades.
It may not be the most ethical way to get through university, but you can max out your performance purely through romancing a Professor. Drama Professors, especially, are notorious for being easy to romance. Once they’re done with school, a Professor might make a good spouse for your Sims. They have a lot of skills, which gives them a boost with jobs, and they will have a lot of contacts from their time in University.
7Armand DeBateau
Hello Daddy Warbucks
Belladonna Cove seems to have a surplus of eligible bachelors. Armand DeBateau might just be the best catch of all.This business tycoonhas managed to climb to the top of his career at a very early age, earning him wealth and power beyond belief.
But that wasn’t what he truly desired - Armand is a Family Sim, and wanted to start a family. This desire led to a divorce, but he managed to adopt his daughter Tara by himself. Armand is a devoted father, and Tara is flourishing - the only thing that the family could improve on is size. A marriage to Armand would give a Sim security, but it would also be a welcome addition to a wonderful family.
6Socialites
Kings And Queens Of Society
Did you know that the Apartment Life expansion introduced social class? Yeah, it was a bit of an odd feature, but it did introduce five new groups of Townies. Gearheads, Bohemians, Jocks, Techs, and Socialites made their debut with apartments, and can be found lurking around the lots that best fit them.
In terms of marriage making, socialites are some of the best to marry. They have very well-paying jobs, and are easy to flatter. Socialites can be found at ‘high-end’ lots, and can be charmed through their special interaction, the Kiss-Kiss Darling. They come in all shapes and sizes, but can usually be identified by their fancy outfits.
5Chloe and Lola Singles
They’re Out Of This World
If you’d like a celestially good spouse, Chloe and Lola Singles are, well, single! Chloe and Lola are two of the few Alien-Sim hybrids that come with the game, and they are also members of the Curious family, both of which make marrying them a unique experience.
Lola is the elder sister, and she is more serious and reserved. As a Fortune Sim, she would be a great spouse for a Sim equally achievement-minded. Chloe is a free spirit who loves love and is eager to find it wherever she looks. Whichever one you marry, you’re sure to find a love that’s out of this world.
4Grand Vampires
Love Really Bites
If you want to become a Vampire, the only way to achieve this is to befriend a Grand Vampire. These mysterious NPCs can be found prowling around Downtown lots at night, hissing at anything they can see. They’re quite nice when you get to know them - why not marry them while you’re at it?
Grand Vampires always have the Pleasure aspiration, which makes them far more friendly and comforting than they appear. They’re driven to turn those they love, which can be seen as them wanting to keep those they love safe. Aw. Grand Vampires are very wealthy, making marrying them a boon to a household.
3Mortimer Goth
Mr. Silver Fox
If it works for Dina Caliente, it can work for you. Mortimer Goth is one of the most eligible Sims in the franchise. Originally married to the famous Bella Goth, Mortimer has been single ever since his wife’s disappearance. While he has connections to Dina at the start of the game, he could easily be wooed by a determined fortune hunter.
Marrying Mortimer would give a Sim access to the famous Goth Manor, one of the best houses in the game. It also gives access to the Goth family fortune. Of course, it also comes with marrying Mortimer himself, who is still one of the handsomest Sims around. Hey, he worked for Bella. He can work for your Sims, too.
2Techs
Upgrade To Lover
Out of the social classes, Techs are some of the most fun. These are the technology geniuses of SimNation, mixing Sim Silicon Valley with nerdy fashion. These guys are less snobby than the Socialites, and their special interaction, the Fake Out, is very fun to pull on other Sims.
They tend to have good-paying jobs in fields like Business, but they may also be involved in careers that involve education or technology. Like the other Social Class Townies, they can have any appearance, but they usually dress in business-casual slacks and suit jackets.
1Mr. Big/The Diva
Hey Big Spender
Behold, the launcher of a thousand legacies, the progenitor of a million black widow challenges, the envy of any town: the man, the woman, the myth, The Diva. The Diva, alongside her male counterpart Mr. Big, is a Townie who can be found wandering the Downtown neighborhood. Blessed with beauty and vanity, this is the single richest Townie in the game.
Divas can be identified by their beautiful black dress and their overwhelming egos. They’re at the top of the Slacker career and come with tons of friends, making them great additions to households looking for wealth and promotion. They also tend to have super-social personalities, which makes them charming companions. But withthat much money? Who needs love!
