Michael Dandy

Michael Dandy is a pre-made playable Sim residing in Roaring Heights. He lives alone in a large mansion. His family biography states that his life was never easy, and every Simoleon he has was acquired via much hard work and some thefts.
Michael is currently employed in the Criminal career as a Master Thief (level 10) and has 9 skill points in athletic as well as 5 in collecting and 3 in both dancing and mooch. 
Outside of his home, Michael is friends with Rita Davis-Welles and is engaged in a same-sex relationship with Rita's husband, Mark, which no one knows about, and his family biography implies doubt on whether he would make that relationship public. However, their gender preferences weren't edited to reflect this situation, so initially both Michael and Mark are attracted to females only. Although Michael is described as very committed to his lover, he actually wishes to be a Heartbreaker.
Michael is apparently based on Jay Gatsby, the title character from the 1925 novel The Great Gatsby which similarly features a man who has turned to a life of crime in order to gain the wealth and status he feels he needs in order to win back his lost love. However, in a twist on the original novel, Michael's love interest is revealed to be not Rita Davis-Welles, but her husband Mark (based on Daisy's husband Tom, who in the novel is having an affair with another woman, a reversal of the situation in the game, where instead Rita is in love with another woman). This also makes Michael and Mark's relationship the first officially confirmed male same-sex romance in the series (although the female couple who head the Shear family, also of Roaring Heights, are the first same-sex couple in the series to be officially recognized as romantic partners rather than simply love interests in-game, due to the fact that their relationship is not secret or extramarital).
He is also similar to real life, famous former criminal, Frank Abagnale, Jr. in both appearance and storyline. He may also be a reference to Raymond Mortimer in terms of his same-sex relationship.
