It may not be the middle of February, but in the world of The Sims 4 it’s the season for lovin’. The latest expansion to the life simulator title that everyone has heard of by now, The Sims 4 Lovestruck Expansion Pack brings a whole new way for Sims to rate, date and, well… mate.
All in the Apps
Now available on Xbox, PlayStation and PC, The Sims 4 Lovestruck Expansion is the latest in a long, long, long line of expansions for what is now a free-to-play title.
Following a heartbreak, for many the resolution to this is to jump head-strong into the dating apps, and in this DLC that’s exactly what your Sims can do. By making use of a brand-new app, your Sims can swipe left and right on other Sims in the local area, and add their own Turn-Ons and Turn-Offs to their dating profile. Who knows? You may just find ‘the one’ is right around the corner!
It’s then onto the first date, a second date and – you know how dating works, we don’t need to spell it out for you. In fact, why not take a trip down to Ciudad Enamorada, which is a new city within the world of The Sims 4, and the go-to place for singletons looking to find a partner. Ciudad Enamorada is split into three distinct neighborhoods, so there’s tons to explore in this new expansion.
Of course, any Sims player will know that compatibility is key. Ensure that your Sims go for the right partner by matching up common skills and interests. Or, as we all know, opposites attract, so you may want to go down that route.
Key Features
- Plan Hotter Dates — Check the Cupid’s Corner app for matches that make your Sim’s heart flutter. Then, set up a date with the new date-planning system. You’ll choose where to go and what to do, crafting romantic rendezvous that’ll leave Sims swooning. Sims can connect by playing games, cuddling in bed, or taking the Romantic Blanket to a beautiful spot for a special moment.
- All About Attraction — What works for your Sim? Turn-Ons and Turn-Offs will determine how attracted Sims are to each other. They can include interests, interactions, and more! Discover these as your Sims get to know their partners, build relationships, and maintain Romantic Satisfaction. Since Sims will like and dislike different interactions, partners might have different satisfaction levels. How Sims interact with each other will also affect whether their Relationship Dynamic is wholesome, steamy, strained, or unpredictable.
- For Lovers of Love — Romance isn’t just a word; it’s a skill that unlocks seductive interactions. For Sims with romantic aspirations, romance is a way of life. Truly hopeless romantics can even become Romance Consultants and make a career out of loving love! As they rise in their career, they’ll earn new ways to promote love and maybe find some cute heart-shaped furniture in their inventories.
- Date Nights in an Unforgettable City — Fall in love with a gorgeous city made for romance. Ciudad Enamorada has 3 neighborhoods that exude charm with plenty of places for Sims to meet, flirt, and even WooHoo. There’s even a new Singles Hangout lot trait that’ll attract available Sims to come and mingle.
