Simysteries - anyone know why.......?

\5. And  why isn't Dina Caliente Dina Bachelor, or Michael Bachelor Michael Caliente?

I think it's because it's impossible create sims in CAS with different surnames. And Nina's surname has to be Caliente. Usually when I play Pleasantview (not that often now) she usually gets married to Mortimer with in a day or two anyway.

Why does she have to be Caliente?  If widows reverted to their single names, it would make sense, but Brandi doesn't revert to being a Newbie, so why does Dina revert to being a Caliente?  It doesn't stop her and Nina from being the Caliente sisters, just because she was once married!

By limitations of the game, Dina has to be Caliente if Nina is. If you want a real-world type reason for it, then I think it's perfectly sensible that Dina would not want to be calling herself by the name of her last husband, considering he was apparently Bella's brother, which I'm sure would raise a few red flags for Mortimer.

And if the surname didn't raise red flags, Dina's age should  . Dina's memories are odd too. She reckons she had her first kiss with Michael as a teen, which is not possible unless teen Dina had her first kiss with Adult/Elder Michael.

Just shows they didn't think it through!
