Connect 2 virtual machines?

How can I connect 2 vm via LAN on vmware so as to connect one vm to the other vm that uses the tor service?

Let me explain I wanted to route the connection of one vm to the other vm with tor the only problem is that on vb I used whonix and I said to use an internal network to the vm that I mainly used. Now I use vmware xchè is more powerful than vb

The VM you want to use for routing must have 2 network connections.  1 either bridged or NAT, however you wish to reach the outside world.

The second use a custom connection, and select one of the unused VMnets (2-7,9).

The second VM also use custom connection and the same VMnet used by the first VM.
