The '''Caliente'''{{Listen|File:En
[[Simis Bachelor]] married [[Jocasta Bachelor]] and 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.

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.
