Caliente sisters makeover

I’ve decided to put Nina and Dina Caliente into my main save. Left are the sad totally-out-of-canon EAxis versions (Dina with an active trait, hellooo?), right my versions with different traits + aspirations. Nina's new traits: romantic / dance machine / adventurous Dina's new traits: outgoing / art lover / ambitious

ramblings under the cut

My versions are based on their Sims 2 versions. A combination of what you find in the wiki and whatever impressions I got over the years through simblr. Though my most recent and probably most formative one is by @vixsims Pleasantview with a twist story. Screw EAxis for putting zero effort into this and not sticking to any canon versions of the sisters. It’S aN AlTeRnAtE uNiVeRsE my ass. As if they didn’t pull the same thing with Sims 3. As far as Sims 4 exclusive canon goes I’m sticking with @whyeverr ’s Realm of Magic story. 😄

Anyway... although Nina has in Sims 2 the romance aspiration people tend to give her a family second which I think fits her quite well. Like she doesn’t settle down for a long time and likes to have fun, all in all pretty easy going. Until she meets the right sim or something happens and she leaves that behind to start a more “domestic” life. I was - and still am - toying with the idea of giving her the Soulmate aspiration but also the noncommittal trait, which could later on turn into family oriented. Though I gave her the dance machine trait because I strongly feel that Nina just loves to dance. And adventurous because it says these Sims seek out new and unique experiences and that fits her imo also very well. Come to think of it she’s not so different to my own sim Gwendolyn Calderwood. *hint hint hint*

As for Dina I really dislike the whole gold-digger thing. I’m torn if she should’ve the materialistic trait but I rather see her as someone who likes having money and the advantages that come with it but ultimately it’s not the most important thing to her. Which doesn’t mean she has no ambitions in life. For now I gave her the Successful Lineage aspiration. I see Dina as someone who does strive to reach a high - and preferably high paying - position in her job and, once she starts a family, wants her kids to make something out of their life’s too. I can really see her as this power mom later in life, rocking both her job and raising her children. Though for now she’s a bit more of a free spirit, having just reached young adulthood and all.
