Nina Caliente is a pre-made, playable Sim who first appeared in The Sims 2. She is the daughter of Flamenco and Nighat Caliente (née Al Mahmoud), and is the older twin sister of Dina. She used to live at 170 Main Street in Pleasantview, along with Dina. Then an unknown event happened, which is hinted at in Don Lothario's bio as an "accidental teleportation", which might have teleported the Caliente sisters back in time to Barnacle Bay. Nina lives at 25 Coral Flats in Barnacle Bay alongside her sister, Dina, and her roommate, Luisa Libros.

In the alternate universe of The Sims 4, Nina has a different mother, Katrina, and lives at Sultry Springside in Oasis Springs, alongside her mother, sister, and Don Lothario. According to a Sims 4 livestream, Katrina is a clone of Nighat that Nina and Dina created after their biological parents' passing.

Biography[]

Nina appears in Oasis Springs and lives with her sister Dina, her mother Katrina, and Don Lothario. She is a young adult, 28 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 may eventually become involved with Nina and/or Dina as well, as in other games.

Nina is unemployed at the start of the game, and has two skill points in mischief. Like her sister, she has one major personality difference from the original timeline: this version of Nina is very lazy, while the original Nina was highly active and athletic. She does, however, share her romantic inclinations and hot-headedness.

In May 2023, Nina 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.[1] Nina's Chief of Mischief aspiration has been replaced with Villainous Valentine.

Biography[]

In The Sims 3, Nina appears in the downloadable neighborhood Barnacle Bay, along with Dina. She and her sister are young adults. An unknown event happened, which is hinted at in Don Lothario's bio as an "accidental teleportation", where several women were present. It is very likely that some of these women were the Caliente sisters, as they were both love interests of Don. The Caliente sisters might have used this teleporter to travel back in time to Barnacle Bay.

Nina is in love with Alec Trebo, Jeff Smith, and Juan Jr Inkbeard. They are the same men her sister and roommate have romantic relationships with, which may cause 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.

When the game begins, Nina is at level 1 in the sports career. She starts out with 10 skill points in charisma and 8 in writing, which would make her a good candidate for the communications major if University Life is installed. If Late Night is installed, she and her sister are 4 star celebrities.

Nina has the "Super Popular" lifetime wish. This is somewhat odd, as it does not match the romance aspiration she had in The Sims 2, along with her shy and grouchy personality, though the flirty trait does give her romantic tendencies. Her portrayal here also contradicts that she was very shy and serious in the original game, the opposite of her sister in personality, while here she and Dina have almost the same traits.

Biography[]

Nina makes an appearance in The Sims 2 for console and lives with her younger twin sister, Dina, and roommates Don Lothario and Toothless Joe. According to her biography, she works in the medical career. Despite this, opening the career tab will show she is unemployed. This version of Nina's personality is almost the complete opposite from her PC version. However, she does still have the Romance aspiration. She is roommates with and also has a good relationship with her sister. Like the PC version of The Sims 2, she still has a pretty similar appearance with cargo pants and long hair, but her hair is brown in this game. She also lives with her PC version love interest, Don, however, in console version, they are only acquaintances.

Biography[]

Both sisters are romantically involved with the engaged town womanizer, Don Lothario; apparently each without the other's knowledge. Both Nina and Don have memories of having known one another as teens. Nina starts the game unemployed; she had a job in the slacker career track, but did not manage to keep it long. She has long red hair and wears a black halter top with pink cargo pants, though when the game starts, she is in her swimwear, a blue bikini. Nina is presumably the elder twin, as in both twins' memories, she always grew up first. The twins' mother, Nighat, died when they were children and their father died when they were adults. When the family is first played, she and her sister are 28 days from becoming elders. Nina is voiced by Zoe Galvez.

Nina and Dina are the daughters of Flamenco and Nighat Caliente (née Al Mahmoud), now deceased, both also of Pleasantview. The sisters are also part alien in their paternal lineage (¼ Alien, ¾ Sim): their grandfather, Nestor, gave birth to their father, Flamenco, after being abducted and impregnated by Pollination Technician 7, making him their grandfather. She and Brandi Broke are not friends, but their relationship isn't far short of that level. Also, if she catches Dina sister with Don, her relationship with her sister can be mended quickly, however it may take some time with Don.

Nina is very interested in Money, Fashion and Traveling, and is said in her The Sims 3 biography to be a worldly Sim who is up for adventure. She is also said to be the brains of the operation.

The sisters are of Arab descent on their mother's side, corresponding to her former name Al Mahmoud. They are Spanish on their father's side. Despite being one quarter alien, Nina and her sister lack any genetics for the alien skin tone. There is a chance that Nina, Darren Dreamer and Brandi Broke will appear in the welcome wagon in The Sims 2 early in the game, since they are unemployed.

The Prima Official Game Guide for The Sims 2 base game features a comic strip-style tutorial chapter revolving around the lives of three CAS Sims living in Pleasantview. One storyline involves a married female romance Sim engaging in an affair with Nina, who is also shown to be involved with Don Lothario. Based on this, some players choose to regard Nina as bisexual, despite the fact the game guides are not really considered official.

If FreeTime is installed, Nina's predestined hobby will be sports, due to her active and grouchy personality.[TS2:FT] Because of this, the player may wish to employ her in the athletic career, which would also correspond with her aspiration (romance).
