The Nishidake Household
Household Description
Rumor says the Nishidake family are sacred guardians of Mt. Komorebi. Indeed, Shigeru fumes over the Ito family’s local development plans. Sachiko, however, feels warmly toward Megumi due to an old friendship with the young woman’s mom. Plus, she knows what’s in her granddaughter’s heart… Kaori moved to Mt. Komorebi after losing her parents. She soon discovered two loves: the slopes, and the son of her grandfather’s sworn enemy! If she had one wish, she’d melt her grandfather’s hardened heart.

Household Notes
- Shigeru and Naoki both have a Festering Grudge with each other. This may cause tension in the household, considering that Shigeru’s wife has a long-standing friendship with Naoki’s wife. Shigeru’s granddaughter also has strong romantic feelings for Naoki’s son.
- The household description states that Naori has recently been orphaned, which is why her grandparents are taking care of her. Since she shares her grandparents’ surname, this probably means that Shigeru and Sachiko are her paternal grandparents.
- The household description says that Sachiko knows what’s in her granddaughter’s heart; this might hint that Shigeru doesn’t know about his granddaughter’s feelings for Kiyoshi.
- Although the household description points to an old friendship between Sachiko and Megumi’s mom as the reason for Sachiko’s warm feelings towards Megumi, Megumi’s mother doesn’t seem to be present in the game. She does not appear in anyone’s relationship panels, nor is she on Megumi’s family tree.
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 🙁
