Sims can now date multiple people without any consequences with the Lovestruck expansion pack.
Ever wanted your Sim to date multiple people? Well, The Sims 4 just introduced polyamory with its new expansion pack.
Since The Sims launched in 2000, the game has gradually made efforts to be more inclusive. From allowing same-sex marriage in The Sims 3 to adding customizable pronouns in 2022, The Sims continues to find ways to represent the millions of different people who play it. However, for over 20 years, polyamory has been out of the game.
So far, that’s the case. The Sims 4 has a new Lovestruck expansion pack that lets Sims date multiple Sims at once.

Lovestruck is a new expansion pack for The Sims 4 that lets players experience completely new forms of romance in the idyllic neighborhood of Ciudad Enamorada. The city offers a wide range of locations where your Sims can date and lose themselves in love and lust. Not to mention, there are plenty of new outfit options for activities in and out of the bedroom.
But the best part is that there’s a new “Romantic Boundaries System” that lets you “customize your Sim’s experience with boundaries and jealousy.” According to the official Sims website, “you can now define how your Sims approach romantic relationships in terms of physical and emotional romantic exclusivity.”
They state: “This allows Sims to date multiple Sims without impacting other relationships.”
Well, hello, let’s celebrate!

In the past, Sims couldn’t date other people at the same time without being considered unfaithful in The Sims universe. Lovestruck means that polyamory can finally exist and not affect relationships between Sims.
Elsewhere, new romantic dynamics have been introduced, including “healthy,” “steamy,” “tense,” and “unpredictable.” With Lovestruck, the possibilities for romance in The Sims are endless.
Lovestruck is available for pre-order now and will be available for download worldwide on July 25 for £34.99.
