10. Ciudad Enamorada

With every new expansion comes a new world for your Sims to live in and explore, and Ciudad Enamorada is a beautiful one. A large sprawling city inspired by Mexico, Ciudad Enamorada is the perfect place for your romantic Sims to get it on. This world is quite lovely, and while we wish it had a few more lots, it’s still a gorgeous place to make your Sim’s home.

9. Romantic Blanket

It’s about time we had the ability for our Sims to WooHoo literally anywhere they wanted. While there are plenty of WooHoo spots already, the Romantic Blanket gives your Sims the freedom to do it wherever they want. Literally, place this blanket anywhere or take it with you to WooHoo in the middle of the street if you wish.

8. Love Hotel

Another new WooHoo location, the Love Hotel in Ciudad Enamorada, known as Beso Rápido, is a sleazy hotel meant for quick romantic encounters. Sadly, it’s just a rabbit hole, and you can’t follow your Sims inside, but the inclusion of a love hotel can add all sorts of drama to your Sim’s life. 

7. Costume Trunk

Costume trunks certainly aren’t for kids anymore. The García Amor Costume Trunk lets your Sims play dress up, and it’s not for Halloween. You’ll be able to unlock new WooHoo interactions with the costumes on, and it’s a great way to spice up your Sim’s date night. 

6. Wallpapers and Flooring

While all Sims 4 packs come with plenty of new Build Mode items, Lovestruck’s array of new wallpaper and flooring options is truly something marvelous. Paying tribute to the gaudy décor of The Sims: Livin’ Large, you can turn your home into the tackiest spot in town, and we love it. Animal print wallpaper and bright shag carpet? Sign us up.

5. Vibrating Heart Bed

Every single game in the Sims franchise now is complete with the classic vibrating heart bed being added with Lovestruck. There’s no better place to get steamy with your partner than with this huge bed that features a massive heart for a headboard. And, of course, it also vibrates for extra fun.

4. Turn Ons and Turn Offs

The Sims 4 finally has a complete Turn Ons and Turn Offs system with Lovestruck. You can choose what your Sim likes in a partner and what they don’t, and there are many options. You can make your Sim have as specific likes as you want, or as open to anything as you want.

3. Date Events

Dates are far more in-depth now, with the ability to choose what you’d like to accomplish on the date, and how far you want to take the relationship. This is great for more story-driven gameplay since you can choose if you want to simply get to know your date or go so far as to end the date with a nice WooHoo.

2. Romantic Boundaries

Polyamorous couples are something the team for Sims probably should’ve added a while ago, but better late than never! If your Sim is interested in open relationships, you have the ability to turn off jealousy with the new romantic boundaries. Your Sim can have as many partners as they want or just one soulmate, it’s completely up to you.

1. Cupid’s Corner Dating App

One of the biggest features of Lovestruck is also the very best the pack has to offer. If you’re too busy to hit up a club every night looking for single Sims, Cupid’s Corner is here for quick online dating. Swipe through tons of options and choose the perfect Sim to spend the evening with.

The most impressive part of the dating app is the fact that it includes not just regular townies, but also Sims from the gallery. There is a huge variety of Sims to choose from now, without the hassle of placing them into the world yourself. It’s a great idea that is perfect if you’re not looking for a Sim with mismatching outfits and 12 accessories stacked on top of each other.
