The Sims 4 Lovestruck Expansion Pack Unveiled
The Sims 4 Lovestruck expansion pack has been officially announced after an early leak. The romantic add-on will be the highlight of TS4's Season of Love summer '24 content plan.
A History of Romance in The Sims
The Sims series has delved into relationships before, starting with the 2001 Hot Date expansion for the original game. The Sims 2: Nightlife introduced a quirky matchmaking service. Now, The Sims 4 modernizes romance through a dating app, scrapping the magical matchmaking of earlier iterations.
Cupid's Corner – The New Dating App
Unlike previous whimsically named features like "Plopsy" (an Etsy parody), the dating app in Lovestruck is called Cupid's Corner, a relatively straightforward name. However, it remains the central feature of the expansion, providing revamped dating mechanics.
New Career and Skills
In addition to the dating app, Lovestruck introduces a Romance Consultant career track and accompanying skills, perfect for Sims wanting to become love gurus.

The Sims 4 Lovestruck Expansion Pack: A Fresh Take on Virtual Romance
The Sims 4 Lovestruck expansion pack is finally official! After much speculation and leaks, this romantic addition will lead the charge for the Season of Love in summer '24.
A Bit of Sims History
The Sims franchise has a long history of adding love and dating elements. Remember the Hot Date expansion from 2001? Or the quirky matchmaker in The Sims 2: Nightlife? 🧙♀️ With the Lovestruck pack, The Sims 4 keeps things modern. Dating apps replace magic matchmakers, fitting the times we live in.
Email or Cupid's Corner?
Chris, one of our Sims experts, had a good laugh about the name Cupid's Corner. We miss the playful off-brand names, though; who else loved Plopsy for "Etsy"? Still, the core of the pack promises to deliver, with enhanced dating features and a special Romance Consultant career track. I think this new career will be exciting for aspiring in-game love gurus.
Why This Matters
Dating mechanics add depth to gameplay. It’s not just about building houses; it’s about building relationships. This expansion looks to tap into this deeply, offering new ways for players to connect or clash. With the introduction of dating apps, your Sims will mirror modern romantic entanglements. 🚀
