The Sims 4: Lovestruck is the sixteenth expansion pack for The Sims 4. It was hinted at in the official roadmap titled "Season of Love" on May 13, 2024, and further information was leaked on June 12, 2024. The pack was officially announced with a trailer on the June 28, 2024. It was released on July 25, 2024. It is a spiritual successor to The Sims: Hot Date, with elements of The Sims 2: Nightlife, and online dating from The Sims 3: Seasons.

Lovestruck introduces custom dates, an attraction system, online dating, romantic satisfaction, as well as a large array of new romantic interactions and a whole romance skill. Sims are able to experience extended romance gameplay with easier options to connect with Sims via the Cupid's Corner app, getting to know turn ons and turn offs, and starting versatile and customizable dates. The expansion also includes items such as sweetheart boxes, a chest for flirty costumes, a vibrating heart bed, and a new cardgame for fun or flirty needs.

Official description

Explore romance as you match with alluring Sims and plan exciting dates in The Sims™ 4 Lovestruck Expansion Pack. Create your Sim’s profile for the Cupid’s Corner dating app, and start meeting matches! New intimate interactions, like cuddling in bed or meeting for a seductive dance, are waiting. Whether your dynamic ends up steamy or strained will depend on what your Sim finds attractive. Pay special attention to those Turn-Ons and Turn-Offs!

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.

Trivia

• The Sims 4: Lovestruck is the first expansion pack to not have a physical copy released. While some countries such as Australia and New Zealand stopped releasing physical expansion pack copies after The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle, some countries continued to release physical releases of expansion packs before ceasing physical releases at different points in time due to the decreasing sales of new physical PC games, contributed mainly by the removal of disc drives from modern desktops and laptops.
