Dina Caliente

Dina Caliente is a pre-made adult, playable Sim in The Sims 2, The Sims 2 for consoles, and The Sims 3.

Life Leading up to The Sims 2
She lives in a small condo in Pleasantview, along with her twin sister, Nina Caliente.

Both sisters are romantically involved with the engaged town womanizer, Don Lothario; apparently each without the other's knowledge. Dina's also in a relationship with Bella Goth's former husband, Mortimer Goth. Dina starts the game with long blonde hair and wears a short, low-necked black dress, though when first played, she is in her swimwear, a black bikini. Since both sisters are on their rooftop deck when first played, it's likely that she'd been in the hot tub. She likes playing in the bathtub and does so frequently.

Though currently single and on the prowl, Dina is the widow of deceased Sim, Michael Bachelor; brother to the missing Bella Goth. According to the family album, Dina married Michael when he was an elder, possibly suggesting that she married him for money. On the other hand, she did keep his urn, didn't woohoo with him before marriage, and doesn't have the memory of marrying a rich sim, so she may also have had genuine feelings for him. However, she did have an affair with Don Lothario while she was married to him, though it never went any further than a kiss, as she has no memories of woohooing or making out with him. It is not known if Dina took Michael's surname and went back to Caliente after he died, or if she kept the Caliente surname all along (neither of which are possible without the use of hacks or a third-party program such as SimPE.). An apparent anomaly is that, according to her memories, she had her very first kiss with Michael when she was a teen - even though this could not be accomplished in-game due to the difference in their ages.

If Dina adopts a child, Michael will appear on the family tree as the father, though the child will have Dina's last name.

Dina is presumably the younger twin, as both their memories show that Nina always grew up first. Their mother Nighat died when the twins were children, and their father Flamenco died when the twins were adults.

Dina and Nina are the daughters of Flamenco Caliente and Nighat Caliente (née Al Mahmoud), now deceased, both also of Pleasantview. There is a possibility that She and her sister lived with their family in Barnacle Bay the down-loadable in the exchange, before the two arrived to Pleasantview. The sisters are also part alien in their paternal lineage: their grandfather, Nestor Caliente, gave birth to their father, Flamenco Caliente, after being abducted and impregnated by Pollination Technician 7. She is somewhat poor, but loves money. The implication is that she dreams of marrying a rich old man, close to death, so she wouldn't have to stay married for too long, hence why she's interested in Mortimer. Oddly though, when first played, she has no memories of Mortimer, despite that she is in love with him and wants to get engaged. She and Brandi Broke are not friends, but their relationship isn't far short of that level. Also, if she catches her sister with Don, her relationship with Nina can be mended quickly, however it may take some time with Don.

Some players believe that Dina dyed her hair blond, since her mother has red hair and her father has brown hair. However, one of the pictures in the family album shows the twins as children, and one of them (presumably Dina) has blond hair. Two other theories are that Flamenco might have had blond hair, but dyed it brown around the time the twins were born, or that Flamenco and Nighat were both heterozygous for blonde hair, since both brown and red are dominant over blond. If you check her Sim DNA in SimPE, you will see that her genetics are for blond hair, which also disproves the theory that she dyed her hair.

Dina has the same facial structure as her mother, Nighat.

The sisters are both of Arab descent from their mother's side, corresponding to her former name Al Mahmoud. They are of Spanish descent on their father's side.

Life Leading up to The Sims 2 (console)
According to her biography, in the Sims 2 for console, she works in the law enforcement career. She is also very ill-mannered and romantic, but has a good relationship with her sister Nina. As in the PC version of The Sims 2, she has long blond hair, but while she has the Fortune aspiration in the PC version, she has the Romance aspiration in the console version.

Life leading up to The Sims 3
Dina appears in the downloadable neighborhood Barnacle Bay, along with Nina.

Oddly, Dina was more of a gold-digger than a heart breaker in The Sims 2. What's even more odd is that her sister has the mooch trait, but she doesn't, even though she had the Fortune aspiration in The Sims 2, so it looks like that Nina has Dina's personality from The Sims 2, though Nina still has her romantic tendencies, and Dina has her sister's personality.

She has job in the Culinary Career at level 5 with 4 skill points in Cooking but she needs 8 points. Since she starts The Sims 2 with no Cooking skill, this suggests that, for her, Barnacle Bay comes after Pleasantview.

She is involved with the same men as her sister and roommates, causing some tension in the household.

Her appearance is similar to what it was in The Sims 2, though her clothes and hairstyle have changed slightly.
