Love seems to be in the air for Sims as we approach the release of the Lovestruck expansion. However, not every Sim can be as lucky as you might expect. But don’t worry, as dating and romance will become much more exciting and useful in The Sims 4 thanks to this DLC.
Gone are the days when Sims could WooHoo a few minutes after meeting each other. The Lovestruck expansion pack will introduce new romantic opportunities, adding more depth to relationships in the game.
From using dating apps, planning dates, and customizing what excites and repels your Sim, the list goes on. Here’s everything you need to know about The Sims 4 Lovestruck expansion, including the release date, price, features, and more.

The Sims 4 Lovestruck Expansion Pack Features
The first feature to appear in the Lovestruck expansion is the new Cupid’s Corner Dating App. Like in real life, Sims can customize their dating profile in the app and browse profiles of other Sims until they find someone they like.
After that, your Sim can choose to plan a date with them. This is where the fun begins. While Sims can already go on solo dates in the base game, Lovestruck allows them to experience different types of dates.
For example, Sims can go on a «Getting to Know You» date to learn more about their partner and deepen their relationship. There is also the option to go on a «Romantic Date» and even a «Maintenance Romantic Date» to keep the spark— it’s all up to you.
You can even choose what they will do during the date, whether it’s board games, stargazing, and more. Despite these options, not every date can go smoothly. Interestingly, your Sims can bail on a date if things go wrong.
Turning on and off will also be a feature of this pack, significantly impacting how your Sims will feel attraction to someone. Not to mention that with the addition of Romantic Boundaries feature, which allows you to choose your Sims’ approach to boundaries and jealousy, the dating scene could be much spicier and filled with interesting drama.
Meanwhile, those who want to level up their game can take part in a new Romance Consultant career. Additionally, there will also be a new Dynamic Relationship System that adds an extra level to Sim relationships, including:
- Supportive: Sims who genuinely love each other
- Steamy: Sims whose relationships are based on physical intimacy
- Strained: Sims in romantic relationships who are dissatisfied with each other
- Unpredictable: Sims in complex relationships where they constantly go back and forth together
