Did you guys see the "latest news" about the love story? Could there be some kind of romance themed pack coming? It looks like they've started the lead-up to whatever is on the horizon.

What do you all think?

    I would love a Fairy Tale expansion pack that brought a smorgasbord of elements from different fairy tales such as witches, curses, princesses, princes, fairy godmothers (and fairies!), magical beanstalks to the sky, and a fantastical world to boot!

    Lol I didn't even know about the Royal Wedding.. I live under a rock. You got me all excited @LiELF too!
    We still desperately need slow dancing and bed cuddles (among other things) in this game.

    Yes!! I would love that!

    @Hermitgirl Honestly, I didn't know about the royals either, haha, but now it makes sense. But there have been a lot of requests to put in more romantic options, so you never know...it could be a thing coming. Maybe a game pack!

    I would love to see more romantic animations and interactions. Proper cuddling on both the bed and couch, online dating (I found it useful for finding "options" quickly), and maybe they can try to figure out hand-holding again? I remember they said somewhere that they tried it before, but it caused glitches whenever the two Sims holding hands had a Sim walk past them.

    Maybe an attraction system? The Sims currently have no reason to be attracted to another excluding the fact that the Sim was Flirty and the other Sim was just right there. There's no crushes, no actual attraction, no compatibility, no reason for Sims to procreate at all excluding to just make sure they don't die out.

    A reputation system would be nice too. Cheating is all too easy in this game. But if not that, at least the attraction system.

    Couple dances would be nice as well, both fast and slow.

    Somebody should mention this to Grant since apparently he's been pretty forthcoming lately. (I won't because I refuse to use Twitter)

    I mentioned to him today we need a romantic pack.

    I do agree we need a romance pack but I think after seasons is better

    A Fairytale Romance pack could tick several boxes.

    1. Romance pack
    2. Fairytale pack
    3. Non-modern gameplay pack
    4. Royals pack

    Right??! I was daydreaming about a fairy tale pack a couple months ago and the more I think about it the more I think it'd be AWESOME!

    I forgot to add Fantasy pack. I hope this becomes a thing.

    I hope so too. The game is lacking in the romance department. No attraction system,no slowdance,sims can't cuddle in bed or properly on the sofa etc etc etc.

    Cats and Dogs have a better romance system than sims do.

    Regardless, it was still a cute story! I hope they do more blog posts like this, by the bear I'm guessing that Grant was the one to write this particular story. :lol:

    Its just for the royal gagfest.
    Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"

    I wish! I really want an Attraction system back in my game. I want my sims to actually have romantic preferences, not just be romantic with everyone. It gives them more personality.

    Personally I don't know why the developers don't release a romantic pack. A lot of people are asking for one on these forums and on twitter.

    A lot of people are asking for a lot of things. Look at how many things you want alone. They can't work on everything at the same time, so they decide what they think we want the most weighed against what they can do in a timely manner to get it out on time.

    One of the "new" ideas that is popular is a FARM pack, but I don't see or hear about any hints that it's coming.

    I could see a Romance Stuff pack, or even a Romance Game pack. If they do a game pack, they should add another buildable world, with a pre-built wedding venue. They should also add a "throw the bouquet", "throw the garter", "make a toast" and "eat wedding cake...together" interaction. Though they already did Romantic Garden stuff. It would be easy to add more decorative flowers, that is for sure. Certainly a selection of wedding gowns and wedding shoes, along with bridesmaid gowns and shoes, and matching tuxedos for grooms and groomsmen. Not to even mention romantic wallpapers with hearts and/or roses on them. They could also add a selection of grooms cakes.

    Or, like a certain chat game I play on occasion, they could do different themed wedding stuff as well: Wild West wedding, Indian/Bollywood wedding, Fairytale wedding, Traditional Western wedding, Winter holiday wedding, even a Goth/Vampire (dark) wedding. Wedding stuff with a large variety of wedding colors. My wedding IRL by the way, had colors turquoise and yellow.

    Maybe it is because they already released Romantic Garden stuff? But I definitely could see a Wedding game pack or stuff pack. I don't know what just happened to the detailed post I just tried to post, maybe it revealed too much.
