If there’s one factor that holds true within the Sims universe, it’s the saying, “Count on the surprising.” You by no means know what you’re going to get in your subsequent playthrough, whether or not it’s a fireplace that decimates your whole household or an alien abduction that impregnates your Sim. Issues have solely gotten weirder with The Sims 4 Lovestruck pack, and truthfully, it’s made gameplay all of the extra higher.

I first seen its weirdness the minute I noticed Sims dancing with eggplant costumes within the enlargement pack trailers. However should you thought that was weird, wait till you lastly step into the weird relationship world of Lovestruck. One Simmer received a style of this after organising a blind date, the place the opposite social gathering determined to point out up in that very same eggplant outfit. That’s one technique to stand out amongst the competitors.

What’s extra, a fellow participant within the feedback mentions how this eggplant character died of heartbreak shortly after their outing. Now I really feel unhealthy for making enjoyable of the poor man.

One other relationship story I immensely loved is Reddit consumer celestialkestrel’s date, through which their world was utterly rocked. They went on a blind date, solely to have their Sims get brutally hit by a meteor. Though the outing didn’t go as deliberate, they nonetheless by some means received the Gold score for good measure.

I’m beginning to suppose these dates often is the new Sims 4 loss of life traps, particularly since one different participant talked about how they Woohooed their date to loss of life. Now, it kind of seems like we’re all swapping conflict tales, and it’s change into a supply of leisure for me.

I, myself, have gone on a number of bizarre however hilarious dates. Extra particularly, the asking-out course of has turned out significantly uncommon for me. As soon as, a presumed stalker requested my Sim out after seeing them “from afar.” I’d’ve instantly blocked that quantity in a traditional world, however in The Sims 4 universe, I couldn’t assist however say sure.

What I didn’t count on was that the stranger would take this date inside my home, as they confirmed up at my door professing their love for my Sim. It received a lot worse once they appeared once more to attempt to transfer in, adopted by a wedding proposal all in in the future.

However the one relationship request that takes the cake for me was when a Rich Weirdo requested to arrange a date at a specific place and time. I made the error of forgetting to satisfy up with them, which didn’t have an effect on me initially. Then, after I tried to see extra singles within the Cupid’s Nook relationship app, the sport knowledgeable me that the app was quickly disabled. It’s right here I used to be notified that “somebody,” aka me, had stood up the Cupid’s Nook CEO, and he deactivated the app in retaliation.

Regardless of it taking away the relationship app, I stay for the sort of content material. It makes The Sims 4 a lot extra enjoyable when these distinctive conditions are ready for you. Plus, choices really feel rather more impactful, regardless of how small or large. I wasn’t conscious that my forgetfulness would result in the downfall of a relationship app. Nevertheless it’s definitely a welcomed shock that I’d like to see extra of in The Sims 4.

I’m additionally glad I’m not the one one getting these weird invites, contemplating that Simmers have obtained eerie telephone calls since Lovestruck’s debut. Reddit consumer ehavery’s scenario completely exemplifies this, showcasing a supposed romance invite from Season’s Father Winter.

Father Winter even tried to entice the participant extra by providing presents. Truthfully, I’m not too stunned to see him within the relationship subject because it’s doable to have a child with him. He’s simply the reward that retains on giving.

On condition that Sims 4 Lovestruck was launched lately, extra bizarre relationship tales are certain to come back up. I’m already seeing some fascinating stuff within the ‘#LovestruckSingles’ class within the Gallery, a hub that permits you to place your personal characters in Cupid’s Nook. There’s even a hilarious variety of Shrek creations who’re single and able to mingle. I’m undecided if ogres are my Sim’s kind, however then I suppose there are extra layers to them.

Different gamers’ creations will undoubtedly deliver out extra of Lovestruck’s strangeness. And it’s good to see that the neighborhood is simply as bizarre as the sport they play (myself included). I look ahead to catching up on the tea as soon as Simmers dive extra into the brand new enlargement pack. I’m certain the abilities of modders will fire up the pot extra with their distinctive additions.
