The Sims 4 Lovestruck Is More Than Just A Lot Of Dirty Talk–But It’s Cool That It Has That Too
If you’re a part of The Sims community, you know there are dozens of different kinds of “Simmers,” as Maxis affectionately calls us. You have the luxury-focused “motherlode” spammers, the architects, the storytellers, the folks who find comfort in watching a simple family live out their simple life, the ladder-deleters, and more. Yet even heartbroken players executing their revenge fantasies are not the most depraved of all Sims players. No no. It’s the Wicked Whims community who take that crown.
Wicked Whims, for the unacquainted, is a popular mod that adds graphic nudity to The Sims 4 as well as just about everything you can do while graphically nude. Like, everything. Not that I would know because obviously I’ve never installed it. That would be indecent. Obviously.
But if I had installed it, I would be able to tell you that The Sims 4’s upcoming Lovestruck expansion certainly doesn’t come close to being as colorful as WW. However, it does add just enough spice to put that “Rated T for Teens” label to the test and contains some concepts we’ve seen in Wicked Whims’ less-spicy companion: Wonderful Whims. And overall, The Sims 4 experience is made much better for it. On top of adding a healthy dose of lust to the game, Lovestruck adds a whole lot of love to the game. Thanks to Lovestruck, we get some much-needed complexity and clarity to relationships, a better replication of what real-life relationships can look like, and a reminder of what makes Maxis a simulation-game powerhouse.
