The Akiyama Household
Household Description
The Akiyamas moved away from the hustle and bustle of the city to the quiet town where Kado was raised. The commute will be a sacrifice, but Kado and Jenna hope the close-knit community and beautiful natural atmosphere of the region will be worth it. Kado was surprised at the recent news that his childhood sweetheart Megumi Ito has also moved back to Mt. Komorebi. He’d love nothing more to leave the past in the past but the pieces of his broken teenaged heart are still tender.

Household Notes
- Kado and Megumi are ex-lovers. While Megumi’s household description hints she might want to get past her Hurt sentiment about Kado and rekindle their love, Kado’s household description indicates that he wants to leave Megumi in the past and focus on his family.
- While Kado has an awkward relationship with Megumi and the household description indicates his feelings are still hurt from their breakup, he does not have any Sentiments about her. It is Megumi that has the Hurt Sentiment about Kado.
- Jenna does not appear to be of Japanese ancestry, making the Akiyamas an interracial family, though they are not the first interracial couple to be featured in The Sims 4. The first were the Spencer-Kim-Lewis and Pancakes families from the base game.
- Taku and Miki may be twins. They are the same age and have extremely similar facial structures; however, there is no mention of them being twins in the game, so there is no way to know this for certain.
I’m really glad they added sentiments and relationships outside of their households for these premade Sims. Remember back when it was implied that Eliza and Bob Pancakes had a rocky relationship, but were actually sweethearts? And Don the boyfriend of Katrina, but they were mere acquaintances? This is definitely a step in the right direction!
Hey isn’t Kaori Nishidake one of the characters from SSX franchise? Looks like her look is based on the On Tour where she has streaked hair
Yeah do you think that’s a teaser for something big? Or is that reading too much
It’s an easter egg more than anything else.
This is so weird, Sachiko Nishidake was pregnant in my game. I played the Ito family first, then switched to Kaori so they could age up at the same time and continue their relationship. 2 sim days after switching to the Nishidakes, and just after they adopted a girl, Sachiko started showing the pregnancy moodlets! Had a baby girl, Shigeru died the day she aged to toddler. Sachiko then adopted another girl but died the day before baby Riko aged to child 🙁
I didn’t think elders could have babies? And they certainly had not woo hoo’d LOL because I was trying to upskill them so they could mentor the kids and Kaori 🙁
