'''Dina Caliente''' (previously '''Bachelor''') is a pre-made playable [[Sim]] in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 2 (console)|The Sims 2]]'' for consoles, and appears as a [[young adult]] in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]''.
==Biography==
===Life
Dina appears in the downloadable neighborhood, [[Barnacle Bay]], along with Nina. She and her sister are young adults here, while in ''The Sims 2'' they are implied as being older. She is presented as a heartbreaker, which is odd considering she was a [[fortune]] Sim 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 and an in-game want to marry a rich Sim. She also has the commitment issues trait, which contradicts with her wish to get married and her positive memory of marriage to Michael. 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.
She has a job in the [[Culinary Career (The Sims 3)|culinary]] career at level 5, with 4 skill points in [[cooking]], being 4 points far from the level required for a promotion. 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.
Dina is in love with [[Alec Trebo]], [[Jeff Smith]], and [[Juan Jr Inkbeard]]. They are the same men as her sister and roommates are involved with, which causes 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 that she has the exact same traits as [[Don Lothario]], another character from ''The Sims 2''. If ''[[The Sims 3 Late Night]]'' is installed, she and her sister will be 4 star celebrities.
===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 [[Mortimer Goth]]. She is implied to be a gold digger, as a message pops up when the family is first played saying "Dina is digging for gold..."
Line 107 ⟶ 123:
Dina is very interested in money, fashion, entertainment, arts, and travel. She 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
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]].
Line 115 ⟶ 131:
Despite being one quarter alien, Dina and her sister lack any genetics for the alien skin tone. In the Russian version of ''The Sims 2'', the origin of Dina and her sister's surname is Georgian rather than Spanish. Interestingly, she shares her surname with the assassinated Georgian-Ukrainian journalist, Georgiy Gongadze.
===Life
According to her biography, in ''The Sims 2'' for console, she works in the law enforcement career. Despite this, opening the career tab will show she is unemployed. She is also very ill-mannered and romantic, but has a good relationship with her sister [[Nina Caliente|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
Dina appears in [[Oasis Springs]] and lives with her sister [[Nina Caliente|Nina]], her mother [[Katrina Caliente|Katrina]], and [[Don Lothario]]. She is a young adult, 24 days away from becoming an adult. She is friends with her mother and sister, and acquaintances with Don. The family bio implies that Don and her mother are romantically involved, however this is not actually the case in game. The bio carries the further implication that Don will eventually become involved with Dina and Nina as well, as in other games.
Dina works in the [[culinary]] career at level 1 (assistant dishwasher). She has two skill points each in the [[Fitness (skill)|fitness]] and [[Mixology (The Sims 4)|mixology]] skills. Like her sister, she has one major personality difference from the original timeline: this version of Dina is active, whereas her original version was very lazy. She does, however, share her romantic inclinations and (as of ''The Sims 3'') her job in the culinary career.
In May 2023, Dina and the rest of the Caliente household were given an official makeover with new outfits, facial features, skin tones, traits, and aspirations in patch 145 of the base game. Dina's Mixology aspiration has been replaced with Fabulously Wealthy.
