The Sims 4 Lovestruck Expansion Pack: Official Reveal Trailer
Those dates can take place in a new city, which has three districts designed with romance in mind. There’s also a new career path, “Romance Consultant”, which I’m assuming is like the movie Hitch and not anything more euphimistic. Although there is also a new “Romantic Blanket” which sims can apparently take with them if they decide they want to woohoo outdoors, so who knows.
As an expansion pack, Lovestruck adds both new systems, like new ways to date and new relationship metrics, and new outfits and items with which to decorate your home. They’re the biggest ofThe Sims' various flavours of DLC - more substantial than Game Packs, and with new systems unlike Stuff Packs or Kits - and the size is reflected in the price, which is £35/$40.
If that’s not too high a price for love, the expansion launches on July 25th.
