The arrival of a new expansion in The Sims 4 is certainly exciting enough, but Lovestruck promises one of the most requested features in the series' history, alongside a bunch of new items and other content at release.

Is there a release date?

There's not long to wait now until you can get your hands on the Lovestruck expansion pack in The Sims 4, as it's scheduled to release on July 25, 2024.

It arrives at the standard expansion pack price of £34.99/$39.99 too, with a couple of early purchase incentive items that might persuade you to pick it up before or soon after it launches:

  • Cry Me a River Eyeliner
  • Basic Breakout Double Bed
  • Herbert Heart Plushie

What's new in Lovestruck?

Undoubtedly the biggest new feature arriving in the Lovestruck expansion pack is the introduction of polyamory to your Sims' lives. This is the first time that Sims will be allowed to have multiple romantic partners, despite requests from fans for years now.

While you could have previously circumvented this through mods, the fact that this option is now embedded within the game will certainly bring joy to the community.

There's also a new date planning system that'll allow you greater flexibility when diving into your romantic adventures. You'll be able to choose your location and activities to make your perfect night come true.

These dates will also shine in the three new neighbourhoods of Ciudad Enamorada, serving as the paradise of love and the backdrop to your romantic adventures.

Turn-ons and turn-offs are now also here, letting you give your Sims greater romantic preferences that will help them find their perfect partner. This isn't just limited to your characters too, as all Sims in the world will also have their own preferences, and will put their own romantic satisfaction first.

Finally, the new Romance Consultant career can bring your Sim's love of love to new heights, allowing them to promote and prosper from the desires of others, while earning some new and exclusive items along the way too!
