I forgot about online dating! I loved that feature in Sims 3. And an actual honeymoon would be so fun too. I don't know if I want a specific pack dedicated to it but maybe.
We need more worlds with more lots. Poo poo on romance, we can make our own.
THANK YOU!!!
Can we make slow dancing,online dating,new romantic interactions, table proposals,spooning and kissing in bed,actual honeymoons and an attraction system for the game? No we can't now mods can add some of those things but if you play on consoles your left out. There just isn't enough romantic Interactions in TS4.
For me, the priority would be an attraction system and slow dancing. The attraction system adds a bit more autonomy and personality to the Sims. I would want to be able to tweak it though.
A bonus would be honeymoons and the ability to add hotels. Possibility a destination world would be appropriate for this.
TBH, I wish all the romantic interactions/features to be added in a patch than a pack.
A pack should introduce a new & unique gameplay, which can be around romance inspired, says something can be a medieval romance, gothic romance, fiction romance, Mediterranean romance or anything that can introduce a new theme/world other than romantic interaction.
I don't mind if it's adding in a honeymoon or romantic getaway or perhaps new & unique feature/aspiration to the new pack, but all existing romantic features & interaction from the past iteration should be added in a patch.

i agree so much, however it's ea we're talking about so there is little room to dream. if they could make people pay to play each mode separately they would. ironic how a company that keeps on saying they want to innovate, keeps making the same packs over & over instead of adding such content to the base game and use packs to bring NEW gameplay to the franchise. ironic how a company that says care about every one of their players, keep ignoring the less wealthy ones and makes packs for every little detail because they already made people believe the smaller the packs the more fleshed out the content. while devs sit there waiting to get more budget and more teammates to work with, ea rather save that money for themseves and keep charging people price of gold for a videogame.

Couldn't agree more! I will really appreciate it a lot if they're introducing a new & a unique gameplay / feature. As you've said, this might not go to happen if they keep on giving us something "similar" from the past iterations instead of innovating a new or at least an up to date gameplay/feature.
Yes, the past iterations got a very interesting feature/gameplay (I personally love & enjoy it), but, if we're looking back on how it align to the current generations on that particular period, it's not going to be the same as what we have right now. Romantic in the past iterations might be reciting poetry, serenading, letters, texting, sending gifts, limo, etc., but nowadays, what is considered as a romantic gesture? How do we currently define romanticism & still keeping the subjective perspective.

it may be like sentiments/lifestyles, they were meant to be new gameplay and we got both a free & a pack version, so there is still hope, i mean i rather think devs won't let poorer players out without love lol, i'm one to ask for past personality content for the sims on ts4 but if devs come up with newer/better things then it would be also great. i'm not a fan of sentiments & lifestyles but at least it was something new, trying to adapt gameplay to the emotions system.
as for romantic interactions, things like slow dancing, cuddling, holding hands, stargazing together, gifts (it's on seasons i believe), texting, etc could easily be on ts4 as they're pretty common. perhaps serenade is a bit chivalrous but it could be adapted to a love song with a guitar or something. there are so many possibilities. unless they just give us a "x sim changed their state from single to in a relationship"

Maxis has never put romantic interactions in a free update. Now they could add more relationships in cas thru an update eg boy/girlfriend and finacie.

that they never did doesn't mean they can't
I know but sadly they most likely won't. The only time we got interactions in a patch was when toddlers released and for ceiling fans so it is very possible but sadly not likely.

I think we need an EP focused on relationships of all kinds, not just romantic, but it's likely that it would be divided up into a romance pack and a generations pack. Romance seems like a GP and generations an EP. It would be strange to dedicate an entire EP just to romance. Yet, many of us want as much romantic content as possible, including a romantic world for honeymoons, romantic vacations, meeting a special someone etc. A small world could be added to a GP, but that would mean that less attention would be given to romantic gameplay and the world would probably not have a whole lot to do, besides get married and sit in a park or bar.
I think a romance pack would make sense to add a world to, if it is a romantic world inspired by Venice and Paris. But then it would have to be an EP, not a GP, and add things like nectar making, candy making, chocolate making etc - romantic things to not only gift and consume, but to create as a hobby or possible career (ex. selling in a shop). A sculpting hobby would make sense to add since the Parisian art gallery is such a popular concept - and it is also very romantic to immortalize your SO through art.
Much of what we generally view as romantic has to do with location and effort. A picnic in a park is generally more romantic than a picnic in a parking lot, and a picnic in a city known for it being romantic is the most romantic of all. Creating a space (world) where everything is described as being romantic makes more activities romantic when playing there, especially when it is a hobby that takes effort to create something for someone. And when not playing there, you have nice new hobbies and activities to incorporate into your "normal" saves. It opens up room to add a lot of gameplay to the pack that wouldn't make sense without the world.

I agree completely with this. I think Sims Freeplay or Sims Mobile got a romantic and craft-y French dlc a year or two ago, and I've always really hoped we'd get something similar for Sims 4. But we'll see.
I was going to go the other way, but I think if it is a huge pack, then weddings should have a huge update including wedding planner center- wedding planner, pick out cake, pick out rings, pick out flowers, more venues and symbols to make the venue(church) that a simmer might want. More arches and a pulpit to use instead of an arch if a simmer wanted to. Loads of dresses, veils/hair comb/wedding hair styles, garters, and bouquets. Getting wedding gifts/giving them if your sim goes to a Wedding shower. Honeymoon trip- any we have and add:
1. Casino- Simvegas- with huge hotel- heart tub, and lots of romantic stuff can also visit the wedding venue for a quick wedding or Simvegas
city hall that has a pulpit outside and you get a marriage license when a sim comes to the pulpit to give it to you.
2. Cruise ship in the harbor- with large pool
3. Small cabin area- fur rugs for floor woohoo, cabin decor,
Ability to give bouquet like in Sims3. More expensive, the more the sim likes it. They still are surprised by and like the cheap one too.
New jobs in Wedding center- wedding planner, cake maker/bakery seller, small shop- flower seller, small shop wedding dresses seller(show dresses and convince them to buy a certain dress) and sell veils/garters/pins for hair comb, and ring shop seller.
We don't need a romance pack. We've already got a good enough romance system.
Edit: I understand some of you need more romantic actions (I'm not sure I'd use it), but as a fantasy player, I feel we shouldn't focus on just ONE aspect. I really wish they hadn't ruined mermaids with no fully underwater lots and they STILL haven't added werewolves. There aren't any other life-sims like this that I know of and not all of us have the talent to create what we need on our own. I get that some people want farming too, though it's not my thing. Previous Sims games did a great job of catering to everyone. This game still needs to be fleshed out before they move onto the next one.
I just wish EA would focus more on diversity for players rather than creating packs like this that feel more like a gimmick that should naturally be in the game via an update.
New worlds are nice, but for a romance pack it certainly to me wouldn't be essential. I also don't think a romance pack would be a full on expansion pack anyway, it would probably be a game pack. I would like some more in depth romantic interactions, so as long as they did focus alot on that, it would be cool.

It would be nice though if sims could book a honeymoon in a world like Venice or France.

> I see no reason why we can't have it all, better game play and a new world.
I wanna have it all, this may be an unpopular opinion but I always think new maps bring more gameplay.
because we pretty much never do, it's either one thing or another, i guess it's for the budget.
