Summary
A decade afterThe Sims 4launched, EA finally released a dating-centered expansion pack:The Sims 4: Lovestruck. Likedating expansion packs in previous iterations ofThe Sims 4,Lovestruckaims to spice up the game’s romance mechanic by adding new social interactions, dating activities, and buy mode items. In addition,The Sims 4: Lovestruckalso includes a new neighborhood called Ciudad Enamorada, known for its romantic vibe, nightclubs, and other dating hotspots for sims to explore and find love.
AmongThe Sims 4: Lovestruck’smany new features are two new romance-centered aspirations: Romantic Explorer and Paragon Partner. These new aspirations expandedThe Sims 4’sLove aspiration and were added alongside Serial Romantic and Soulmate. What sets the Romantic Explorer and Paragon Partner apart is that both include a list of milestones players must complete to fulfill their chosen aspirations, resulting in rewards and dating perks.
The Sims 4: Lovestruck - Romantic Explorer Aspiration and Milestones
The Romantic Explorer aspiration inThe Sims 4: Lovestruckis perfect for romantics at heart. With this aspiration selected, Sims aims to explore every single dating interaction available in the game and experience romance to the fullest.The Sims 4’sRomantic Explorer aspirationis perfect for players who love to partake in as many romantic activities as possible, from going on dates to being physically intimate with their partner, keeping the fire of romance burning for as long as possible.
The milestones players must complete to be successful in the Romantic Explorer aspiration well reflect the outgoing and engaging nature of this aspiration. Sims, who are Romantic Explorers, have three levels of milestones to complete: Spark of Love, Expanding Boundaries, and Amour Connoisseur. Each of these levels will have sims get to know their dates, discuss romantic boundaries with their partner,increase their sims' romance skills, and perform several romantic gestures, which includes having to WooHoo in three different locations, among many others.
- Spark of Love
c. Use the Romantic Blanket three times for romance
c. Perform 25 romantic gestures with a partner Sim
d. Share food two times
d. Embrace three times
d. WooHoo three times at different locations
The Sims 4: Lovestruck - Paragon Partner Aspiration and Milestones
One of the new features introduced inThe Sims 4: Lovestruckis polyamorous relationships, which are highlighted inthe Paragon Partner aspiration. Sims who choose the Paragon Partner aspiration aim to have successful relationships with two or more sims simultaneously. While the Romantic Explorer aspiration is focused on the many activities and interactions sims can partake in with their partner, the Paragon Partner aspiration revolves around having multiple relationships with established romantic boundaries.
It is worth noting that the milestones players must complete in the Paragon Partner aspiration are much smaller compared to the Romantic Explorer. To fulfill the Paragon Partner aspiration, players need only to complete one milestone, which will involve establishingromantic boundaries inThe Sims 4, having at least two partners, and going on several dates with a partner sim. Like the Romantic Explorer, fulfilling the Paragon Partner aspiration will earn players rewards, such as aspiration points that players can spend in the reward store, alongside a new reward trait that would help players maintain relationships more easily inThe Sims 4.
b. Have 2 or more Partners
c. Have 2 or more Very Satisfied Relationships
d. Go on 3 Dates with a partner Sim
While the two new aspirations do not require specific traits, equipping sims with traits that complement their chosen aspiration would make it easier to complete milestones.
