Dina Caliente

Dina Caliente (previously Bachelor) 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. Dina is presumably the younger twin, as both their memories show that Nina always grew up first. Dina starts the game wanting to get engaged to Bella Goth's former husband, Mortimer Goth who oddly is her sister-in-law's husband. 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. Oddly though, when first played, she has no memories of Mortimer, despite being in a romantic relationship with him.

Both Dina and her sister are romantically involved with the engaged town womanizer, Don Lothario; apparently each without the other's knowledge. If she catches her sister with Don, her relationship with Nina can be mended quickly, however it may take some time with Don. Another notable relationship is that she and Brandi Broke are just short of becoming friends.

Dina starts the game with long blonde hair and her everyday outfit is a short, low-necked black dress. When first played, she is in a black bikini, having just been in the hot tub on the roof of their condo. 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, implying that she married him for money. However, she does not have the memory of marrying a rich sim, so either this was an error by the creators, or she married him for another reason. An apparent anomaly is that, according to her memories, she had her very first kiss with him when she was a teen - even though this could not be accomplished in-game due to the difference in their ages. She had an affair with Don Lothario while married to Michael, but it never went any further than a single kiss. 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.). 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 the daughter of Flamenco Caliente and Nighat Caliente (née Al Mahmoud), now deceased. Their mother died when the twins were children, and their father Flamenco died when the twins were adults. Dina has the same facial structure as their father, while Nina bears a close resemblance to their mother. The sisters are of Arab descent from their mother's side and Spanish descent on their father's side. They are also part alien in their paternal lineage: their grandfather, Nestor Caliente, gave birth to their father after being abducted and impregnated by Pollination Technician 7.

Some players believe that Dina dyed her hair blond, since her mother has red hair and her father has brown hair. However, the family album shows her as a child with blonde hair, and she has blonde hair genetics. Two other theories are that Flamenco dyed his hair 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. This seems most likely, as her grandmother Benazir Al Mahmoud has genes for blonde hair.

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. It seems that Nina has Dina's personality from The Sims 2, though Nina still has her romantic tendencies, and Dina has her sister's personality. Hot-headed is also off the mark, as the original Dina had moderately nice personality points, and thus would usually respond positively to social interactions. This situation suggests that creators made a mistake while creating them and swapped their personalities.

She has job in the culinary career at level 5 with 4 skill points in cooking but she needs 8 points. This might be a take-off on her original bio, where she's stated to have a liking for chocolate. Since she starts The Sims 2 with no Cooking skill, this suggests that Barnacle Bay comes after Pleasantview. This can also be proven in her own bio.

She is involved with Alec Trebo, Jeff Smith, Juan Jr Inkbeard. They are the same men as her sister and roommates are involved with, so this is 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.

It should also be noted how she has the exact same traits as Don Lothario. Interestingly, Don is also a character who's story from The Sims 2 has been continued.
