Caliente household/theories

Theories about why Dina and Nina Caliente appeared in Barnacle Bay.
 * I don't get it the Sims 3 is set before the time of The Sims 2 their parents would have been children in this game, unless they time travelled with Don it doesn't make sense. --- HappyMintChocolate 13:09, September 25, 2010 (UTC)HappyMintChocolate
 * I think when Caliente sisters use time machine to travel from Barnacle Bay to Pleasentview --- Jasonyiu 13:18, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * The only answer I can find is that they travelled in time with Don. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.219.79.121 (talk • contribs) 2010-10-15T12:04:15 (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~
 * The Sims 3 is not set before The Sims. Sunsetvalley, Riverview and Twinbrook are, based on the fact that much younger versions of known Sims live there. It is entirely possible that Barnacle Bay occurs at a time closer to the events of The Sims 2. --a_morris (talk) 16:49, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * The time gap between most of the neighbourhoods in TS3 seem to be inconsistent. We assume that Sunsetvalley starts approximately 50 years before Pleasantview because Mortimer is a child in the former and an old man in the latter; likewise Riverview seems to be on approximately the same time scale because Bob and Betty are teens there and have recently died of old age when the Pleasantview storyline picks up. (The only unexplained inconsistencies in Sunsetvalley and Riverview seem to be in the age gap between Bob and Betty and Skip Broke - all from Riverview - but hey, EA's continuity is never perfect, as this discussion proves). However, based on the ages of Notzo and Zo Curious in Twinbrook (they are toddler and child respectively, but if Twinbrook was entirely contemporary to Sunsetvalley and Riverview we would expect them to be adults and their son, Glarn, to already be a child or teen himself) and of Dina and Nina Caliente in Barnacle Bay (perhaps only a few years younger than when they appear in Pleasantview, while we might expect their parents to be in the child stage and their actual birth to still be about 20 years off), an alternate, less straightforward time-line might make more sense. For example, we could assume from the above evidence that Twinbrook is situated in time some 75 years before TS2, Sunset Valley and Riverview 50 years before, and Barnacle Bay maybe only 5 years or even less. Perhaps the Caliente sisters' sudden, unannounced arrival in Pleasantview is a direct result of the events that caused them to leave Barnacle Bay and their friendship with Luisa behind, and the whole thing is the creators' attempt to pad out their back-story a bit? This would be my guess, anyway. Beatrice Monty 16:58, October 15, 2010 (UTC) *apologies for going over the same theory as above, we apparently posted at the same time. :p
 * I feel that since they have more skills than they did at the start of The Sims 2, that their existence in Barnacle Bay is similar to Don's in Riverview. My theory is they somehow traveled back in time. Possibly the same way Don did. Since Don not only traveled back in time but was also transported to a different place, maybe a teleporter malfunctioned and this happened again with Dina and Nina. The sisters could have been involved in something or missed Don thus causing them to use the teleporter to find him. Also, they could have been the women laughing at him before he teleported. They could have also tricked him to step on the teleporter and then activated it. Missing him they both used the teleporter and ended up in BB and eventually forgot about Don. The sisters might have been in a bar flirting with some guys when Luisa saw them and realized they could teach her a thing or two. When it comes to them being young adults and not adults as they were in the Sims 2, they most likely got their hands on some Elixer of Life. Another idea revolves around this. Maybe they were both in the Goth house either before or after Mortimer died and was going through Mortimer's lab. They found and drank his invention, (Elixer of Life) then began to panic and hid in a Time Machine or accidently activated a teleporter. Thus they were instantly in Barnacle Bay 50 years or so in the past and like Don have lost all memory or everyone else and their family except for eachother.--- bafendo 11:26, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
