For the past few days I've been playing The Sims 4 in a super fun way thanks to my dear friend Ale @emme-y who told me she was playing TS4 and created several Digimon Adventure characters. She shared her gameplay with me and it was so fun to read that I wanted to join the game.
I have to say that the interactions in my game between them have been lore accurate, this has made me realize that these characters are definitely designed to resonate with each other.

The Yagami house is on a 20x15 lot with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, where Taichi is the adult paying the rent and Hikari is a teenage student.
I also added some lot traits to give it a digital world vibe with Cat Hangout, Convivial, and On Hallowed Grounds, plus a couple of challenges like Spooky and Quake Zone.

Sora's house is also on a 20x15 lot with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, where she lives alone and covers her expenses with her job (I used a money cheat here because the living/dining area is a bit luxurious).

The Ishida-Takaishi house was also created by Ale and is on a 30x20 lot with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, where Yamato is the adult paying the bills and Takeru is a teenage student.
Taichi and Hikari live close to Miyako, Ken and Daisuke, while Yamato and Takeru live a bit more isolated from the group and close to Sora.
I let the relationship of Hikari and Miyako follow the natural flow of the game and it was incredibly easy for them to meet and get along SUPER well within just a few minutes without forcing any interactions.
Ken and Miyako (made by Ale) practically arrived at Hikari's house at the same time, which is how they met. They're teens, live in different houses and in my game their first meeting happened simultaneously with meeting Hikari.
In the cases of Taichi, Yamato, Sora, Takeru and Hikari I did use cheats to max out the friendship bar to 100 but all the memories and the chemistry between them have flowed naturally. I'm not forcing their interactions, they're autonomously building their bonds in the game on top of an already established friendship.
