The '''Caliente'''{{Listen|File:En ca Caliente.ogg|url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/8/86/En_ca_Caliente.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20150721031206}} '''family''' began with [[Nestor Caliente]] and his wife [[Dulcinea Caliente]]. Together they had a son, [[Tango Caliente]], who never married or had any children. [[Flamenco Caliente]] resulted from Nestor being abducted by [[Pollination Technician 7]]. Flamenco married [[Nighat Caliente|Nighat]], the only child of [[Tariq Al Mahmoud|Tariq]] and [[Benazir Al Mahmoud]]. Together, they had twin daughters, [[Nina Caliente|Nina]] and [[Dina Caliente]].
 
[[Simis Bachelor]] married [[Jocasta Bachelor]] and also had two children, [[Bella Goth|Bella]] and [[Michael Bachelor]]. Dina married Michael, but they had no children, and Michael later died of old age. Michael's urn sits on a coffee table in the twins' living room.
 
The living members of the Caliente family are the twins, Nina and Dina, who share a house at [[170 Main Street]]. They have opposite personalities; Nina is shy, serious, and neat, while Dina is playful, outgoing, and a bit sloppy. Since they have opposite personalities, they have different [[Zodiac signssign]]s, even though they are twins. (In the universe the Sims inhabit, Zodiac signs reflect personality, not time of birth, so twins can and will have different signs.)
 
When they are first played, they are twenty-eight days away from becoming elders. They start out with §1040 in funds, which wouldn't be too bad if either one of them had a job.
 
Nina's lover is their next door neighbor, [[Don Lothario]]. However, Don is also involved with Dina, apparently without either sister's knowledge. Dina is in love with [[Mortimer Goth]], though it is rumored that she only wants to marry him for his money. Dina and Nina did not appear in ''[[The Sims]]'', but since they're described as having arrived on the eve of Bella's disappearance, this is not surprising.
 
Where they lived before they moved to [[Pleasantview]] is not stated. They do appear in [[Barnacle Bay]], a downloadable neighborhood for ''[[The Sims 3]]''. However, between Dina's bio and the skills they have when Barnacle Bay is first played, it appears that, for them, Barnacle Bay comes after Pleasantview.

|etymology = '''Caliente''': Meaning literally "hot" in Spanish. Of course this literal term was comically taken for the slang term meaning "attractive".<br>

'''Dina Caliente''': Means "Judged." This seems fitting as Dina is being judged as a "gold-digger."<br>
|A thief in [[Nina Caliente|Nina]]'s bedroom.
'''Nina Caliente''': Niña means "little girl" in Spanish, and Nina means "Doll" in some other languages than Spanish that are in Spain. Could also possibly mean "fire" or derive from the Babylonian fertility goddess. The Caliente surname fits both the Spanish descent inferred to this family and the attractiveness the twins have on the community. Dina and Nina's names are partially fitting, but were probably only made so that they would rhyme for comical effect. Translated, Nina's name means "hot girl".<br>

'''Flamenco Caliente''': Flamenco is a type of music that is a very cultural tradition to Spaniards, which Flamenco likely is. It may also refer to "Flamingo" to give a comical effect or because a Flamingo reflects the personalities of Nina and Dina.<br>

==Trivia==
*The Caliente family has some of the most varied heritage in the history of the series. It appears that Nina and Dina are of Spanish,Arab Arabic/Moorish,descent on their mother's side and of Alien and Hispanic descent, thoughton atheir similarfather's caseside. Something similar happens with [[VictorPauline Aspir]] from [[Desiderata Valley]], being of SpanishHispanic, Chinese/Russian, and Japanese descent from her father [[Victor Aspir|Victor]], and Russianof Persian and Anglo-Saxon descent from her mother [[Elizabeth Aspir|Elizabeth]].
*[[Doreen Caliente]] from [[Moonlight Falls]] shares the family's last name but her relation to the Calientes, if any, is unknown.
