83 degrees? Even as I sit here shivering, I think that's way too warm. I hope you start feeling better.
Daniel starts the game with low relationship levels to Dustin. If that's not corrected before Dustin becomes an 'adult' then Daniel will fight with him. The Pleasants are supposed to be upwardly mobile, they are materially wealthy and Angela is the Princess. Dustin is the bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks, he's poor and he's a criminal. Daniel doesn't want him near the Princess. It would probably be fine if Dustin was dating Lillith, but not Angela.
The Angela/Lillith relationship is one that I tend to work hard on repairing. And in my experience, Angela is always the aggressor. Lillith has social problems prior to playing the lot for the first time due to poor aspiration and negative family relations but once those things have been fixed she's fine. I always give her back her proper personality.
In my legacy hood with the sims extracted as townies, Mary-Sue married a cousin and the twins were sent to UNI with their step-siblings. The only issue I had with either of them was the constant stalking of Puck Summerdream. But hey, everyone did that :) Angela re-rolled romance, Lillith and Dirk eventually got together and are happily married.
Lillith/Dirk had no previous relationship in that hood, they just happened. In past Pleasantview experiences, Dirk has been a bit of a player. He has better chemistry with both sisters than Dustin does and tends to go back and forth between the two of them. Dustin and Angela rarely 'click' for me.
Lucy/Beau/Alex don't have many pre-set relationship issues. They're clean slates that can be played the way you wish them to be played. Since they're children they have time to bond with their families and to make friends. Depending on aspirations you choose for them Lucy can work well with either boy. My personal OTP for Alex though is Bottom Summerdream, but that requires merged hoods.
I've never had many issues with Nina, personality wise she doesn't really 'fit' romance. She's easily the type of Romancer that can settle with one man. Unlike many others, I don't think that Don's the one man for Nina. They gravitate towards each other based on the previously set relationships, but Don's not going to stick with her long term. He can't stick with anyone.
