==Return to ''The Sims'', and "In The Spot Light" and Future==

The Announcement that ''The Sims 3'' was in production lead to speculation that Dina and Nina would return to the game; no confirmation was made and when an advert was released featuring a blonde woman with a elderly rich man, speculation mounted and many believed this to be Dina. EA Games refused to comment on the character and simply stated that viewers would have to "buy the game" when it was released. Upon release, Dina and Nina were no where to be seen. The storyline in the game was set before the events of ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2'', so an appearance from either Dina or Nina would contradict the storyline in ''The Sims 2''. Despite this, Dina confirmed on her YouTube page that she would be involved with ''The Sims 3'', but it wouldn't be as "big" as it was in ''The Sims 2'' and it would be later on in the year. In 2010, a new neighborhood was available for download named "Barnacle Bay", the same name of the town Dina and Nina were brought up in; and much to fans delight, Dina and Nina made a return as a younger form of themselves. Dina claimed her decision to return was purely down to "fans request" and said that she was pleased that her return wasn't on as bigger scale as her Sims 2 appearance. Many fans criticized Dina and Nina's return, however, stating that their personalities had switched and that some of their story lines, traits and aspirations contradicted those of ''The Sims 2'', some also said that they didn't look enough like their characters in ''The Sims 2''. Many critics claimed they believed that EA Games used the two characters to attract people to buy the town, as both characters had proved popular in ''The Sims 2''.
