Is love in the air for your Sims? Buckle up, because The Sims 4 is getting a major romantic makeover with the brand new Lovestruck Expansion Pack!
New City, New Love
The Lovestruck Expansion Pack whisks your Sims away to the vibrant city of Ciudad Enamorada, featuring three new neighborhoods to explore:
- Vista Hermosa: A picturesque setting perfect for romantic strolls.
- Plaza Mariposa: Bustling with cafes and lively energy, ideal for first dates.
- Nuevo Corazon: The heart of the city, offering a mix of nightlife and hidden gems.
But the fun doesn’t stop there! Take your Sims on unforgettable dates at various locations like bars, nightclubs, open-air plazas, and more. You can even set the mood with the new Singles Hangout lot trait, attracting romance-seeking Sims to your venue.
Cupid’s Corner
The days of waiting for love to strike are over! With the introduction of the Cupid’s Corner app, your Sims can create dating profiles and browse potential partners. Discover each Sim’s unique personality through their Turn-ons and Turn-offs to see if they’re a good match. Plus, you can even pursue a career in love as a Romance Consultant!
Romance Dynamics
The Lovestruck Expansion Pack introduces a new layer of depth to your Sims’ romantic relationships. Four distinct Dynamics can blossom between Sims on dates:
- Wholesome: True love blooms, with genuine affection and sweet gestures.
- Steamy: Passion takes center stage, with a focus on physical intimacy.
- Strained: Love lingers, but unhappiness and unkindness cloud the relationship.
- Unpredictable: A rollercoaster of emotions, with fights interlaced with passionate reconciliations.
As your Sims interact, their Romance skill progresses, unlocking unique interactions specific to each Dynamic.
Attraction, Compatibility, and Satisfaction
The Lovestruck Expansion Pack introduces new mechanics that influence your Sims’ romantic journeys. Attraction dictates how well-matched Sims are, influenced by their Turn-ons and Turn-offs. Romance Satisfaction reflects the health and evolution of the relationship over time, bridging the gap between the new Attraction system and the existing romance mechanics in the base game.
