my biggest issue is this isn’t a LOVE pack it’s an infatuation/lust pack no one’s fully “satisfied” in a relationship after one date where’s the couples quarrels, the options to have those big conversations, the tender moments, i would love random buffs like “remembering” how much you love them oh! or waking up and being angry that your husband cheated in a dream😂 but i’m a sucker for the details, that no one cares about lol
Some of those things are there, especially if your sim is romantically reserved. There are also options to talk about their relationships and standards.
we care hon, eaxis just doesn't lmao. @llaniii no one wants the game to mirror real life exactly, we play games to escape from it lol. wanting depth in the gameplay of a freakin life simulator doesn't mean people want 100% realism. people just want to feel like the stuff they do over the course of their sim's life matters. also this game's a thousand dollars, it should be deep LOL
I don't really agree, I think it is a love pack although the trailers made it look seedy. But I had some very wholesome fun with this. I also had the quarrels as well when his turn off was flirting and my sim kept flirting with him without realising. There is a strained relationship type. I think some of the detail of real life would just be very hard to implement.
@@syncopatedglory Everyone is different and wants different things. I really don't want the game to be too deep, a lot of what I like is the simplicity of the Sims, where as other players seem to want to be able to micromanage every single little detail. I think this is a big part of why the community argues so much, we don't all want the same. I'd agree it should be value for money, but if my sims were miserable all the time I just wouldn't enjoy it.
I love you, Karla! You’re my favorite sims TH-camr and I’m so proud of your growth since I started watching your channel. You have gained so many subscribers and patrons. My name used to be closer to the top of this list and now it’s getting closer to the middle. So, so happy for you! ❤
She's addicting, I swear 😂 It's like she plays a completely different game from me (well I'm console, so) BUT she gives me inspiration. I'm 2 years in and only on gen 4. Meanwhile she's turning out complete scenarios and series like, every few hours, it seems. ❤
@@iamsuzerain3987 it is amazing! She deserves all of the recognition and support that she has because she’s so relatable and easy to listen to. I watch her videos every night to fall asleep. 😇
@@Loralanthalas I know that is right! I watch her old videos once I have finished the new ones on Patreon because there’s still so much I haven’t finished yet in her playlists. Mainly because I just enjoy them all so if I come across a video of hers that I’ve already watched, I just let it play and watch again. 😅 I made a household similar to Claudia and Lacey because of her. It kinda backfired on me though because instead of the kid, the mom was the one always crying from the kid’s mean interactions. 🤣
I had sims 4 for years always played sims 3 couldn't get into 4 until I started watching Carla she taught me how to play. Love her videos shes brilliant
I love how fair you are, no rage bait but also no gushing over every feature just to sell the pack. Also I think the difference in the closets is the lovestruck closet is suppose to be a janitors closet. So the other closet (the get together one) is like for your house and the Lovestruck one is for public whoohoo. Like a go at a restaurant. The sad blue bear also has a mission you can unlock. Its lackluster from what I've seen in playthrough. Haven't bought the pack. Waiting for a sale.
I agree with Karla as usual!! I find these packs are so lacking when it comes to build/buy and the new worlds. So many lots that are just set dressing and it's such a waste cuz they are cute, even if it was just a rabbit hole that would be better then nothing. I miss the Sims 3 where there were so many lots to interact with like the town hall where you could sue someone or being able to place lots for building if there was empty space on the map. Why can't we do that anymore? Sims 3 is definitely still my favorite! Lol
Oh honey you didnt see it coming You HAVE TO watch loads of her videos to get know real Brit better 💀😋😋 I am following her a year and few months now..and STILL she very often leave me speechless 😂
WHOLE HEARTEDLY AGREE on the full house build/buy in a pack. I'm not a builder. I just want to sort by the pack, build functional WITH ACTIVITIES and play.
So happy to hear your views and thoughts on this pack! You’re one of the few Sims content creators that I actually trust and care about your opinion. 💕
It annoys me how easy it is to have another sim to change their romantic boundaries. I wish that you’d have to work harder at that than asking once if they can change their minds. I would like it if the sims can be open to the idea of changing their boundaries, but it shouldn’t be that easy
@@boilingsodaI kinda like it for allowing sims to grow up, someone might be wild and open in college, but be more committed as an adult. And this isn’t to the exclusion of polyamory. Mature poly relationships are still COMMITMENTS between adults it just involves more than two of them. I have two poly friends and their partners are there partners, they aren’t sleeping with any and everyone. But for say a college student I don’t need them flipping out over every flirt, but maybe after getting married I’d have them ask their romantic partner about having more commitment (more restrictive boundaries maybe).
Babe wake up Karla posted 😍😂 seriously though, love your channel. I love watching quite a few simmers channels’ but your sense of humour and just the way you play and comment on what’s happening is so relatable and funny. I’ve been looking forward to your thoughts on the pack x
You are so effortlessly funny. I'm glad I've found your channel! Love the Sims, but I've stayed for the hilarious content. I hope all the hours of gameplay and thinking up ideas is properly rewarded in cash moneymoneys from YT & Patreon!
For the lifetime aspiration they really should've divided them into age categories so as a young adult u gotta do this, as an adult that and elder this..... And unless it that age it won't tick off. Like that'll make it harder and probably more fun to use
As a console player with no mods I did have a lot of fun so far with this pack. It is more funny than most packs and it make me laugh a lot with the costumes, dating, broken heart and the blue bear, but I agree it’s not that deep or big.
&& I don’t understand why they just couldn’t put all these features into the wedding stories pack. It’s literally the same concept 😭. They keep making expansion packs that’s only worth game pack value money. Tartosa seems like a better world than the new world smh
I have both worlds, they are close but I actually prefer this one. There’s not much between them though. Some of the assets like the fountains are exactly the same. They are both very nice worlds 😊
I have the pack and I think this review is the most balanced and fair review I saw 🙂. My thought is that lovestruck is fun and I do not mind spending the money because I have it but it is probably best on sale unless you are really in a rush. I think what is in the pack is actually good and I was a bit surprised by just how enjoyable it has been but I do think they should have added a bit more building items and new activities like you said.
Thank you for reviewing this! I was worried once you got sponsored by EA and in their creator program that you wouldn't be harsh or give an honest opinion; that you'd be scared you would lose the sponsor. Clearly you're not afraid and this is how sponsored creators should review the packs
I watch her more for builds than gameplay, I find her gameplay boring. But ive definitely seen her heavily criticise packs when building, just recently she told people never to waste their money on the spooky stuff and paranormal packs (which is wild as I like those packs!) I agree she tends to be more positive with gameplay features that I personally didn't think were great but I think that's a preference thing. She definitely complains about glitches and build items a lot though, especially on live streams
I totally agree on your point about build and buy and giving us items to furnish a house. It would be nice to be able to run a cohesive theme when decorating a home. There has been numerous times I've tried to decorate a home using a certain pack but I've always had to do my best for certain items. I do love the CAS items, the clothes are different and I can see myself using them a lot
The new things with the romance skills aren’t really new they just have new names like tender neck kiss is the same animation for the bg “neck kiss” as well as the emotionally connect the only different is that there’s a heart above the animation but in bg we have “hold hands” which is the same animation without the heart and last but not least lovingly dip kiss is the same as the “passionate kiss” so I think that is kind of fucked up on EA part for reusing those animations but calling them new names. The only reason why I would want to buy this pack is for the world (bc it’s pretty reminds me of Mexico and I’m from Texas so I enjoy that style) and for the clothes
Ugh. More reused animations? The amount of them seriously pisses me off. There's a crapton of interactions which do the same animation and serve the same function, the only thing different is the text you click. What the heck is even the point? Just to clutter the menus with illusions of choice/depth? Imagine my disappointment when my doctor sim gained a new interaction called "check hotness". I was like "A new romantic interaction? Awesome!" ...and then I tried it and, lo and behold, the same old freaking animations. Again, what's even the point of adding "new" interactions if they aren't actually new? It just reeks laziness.
I love this pack except that I wish that the world was better though. The gym is my favorite location in the new world- the club isn't as good as in the Get Out pack. I wish that there had been more location options, but overall pretty pleased. The dates are/ were glitchy- I don't know if that's been fixed. I've been loving playing with this and the Vampire extension pack! The romantically reserved trait is great too.
I had the same glitches on dates and it was really frustrating. It seems to be a little better than last week though now. I am really enjoying this and my Occult packs. Also, I don't play with Mods (because I can't- I play on an Xbox), so I think that the glitches are due to the pack or update. I hope that they fix it soon.
So in Australia this expansion pack is $70! I’m never going to buy it at that price and to me when it does go on sale I’ll wonder like at the grocery stores if the real price is the reduced price. (In Australia they sell laundry detergent for $36 before sale then they have the sale sticker each fortnight. Because it attracts the eye. No one will pay $36 but $18 half price people will pay, and think they are saving money). To me ea has done the same and it’s not ok.
I really like the dating and friendly hangout features. If you do more than three activities, it can be pretty different everytime. But that’s about it. Cas was pretty nice as a male simmer. If I didn’t have jungle adventure I wouldn’t have a complete build which is a bit yikes.
I dont have this pack yet, but I heard there's a story behind the big sad blue bear. Could make a cute video. Thank you for the review, I love watching your videos!! I'll be sure to use your code when I buy it 😊 Please keep doing what you do, I cant get enough!! Lol
I've had some fun with this pack. I've played through a couple of drama-filled storylines going through the 7 Wild Dates reality show. The world is pretty, but there isn't really anything there that makes it more than just another world. I do really like having the new CAS and Build/Buy items (I definitely agree we need a full set of items though!) The romance system is okay and the new dynamics can certainly add some fun and challenge. I am annoyed that the 'get to know you' social now gives me super-unhelpful information like x has the charisma skill. And I'm a bit bothered by how one successful date starts so much 'romantic satisfaction' and the date starts getting jealous when my Sim dates someone else. I understand after they become romantic partners, but otherwise, It was one date friend. Don't be a stalker. I like being able to customize the dates but I feel like the goals system is a bit long and repetitive. I feel like I'm just following orders really fast until the bar gets high enough and then my Sims can do what I really want them to do, lol.
I wonder if the Sims 4 team are going to pay attention to all the reviews about this pack not having enough to justify it being an Expansion Pack--no one would be upset if this was just a Game Pack. With all the reviews I've seen suggesting to wait for a sale then I think I'll be doing that (can't say there's much in this pack that makes me want it this very minute, not when mods allow me to cover most of what this has to offer). One thing I do hope the team realise is that the new worlds really do suffer from being rather banal and empty. If they want a larger world, then they have to include more lots to build on, just look at Windenburg (easily one of my favourite worlds), with so many lots to play on and develop across four neighbourhoods it always felt bustling and full of activity.
I had the limited social wheel too and it was because I had an old mod called urban social media overrides for social bunny. I deleted that and update maplebell 100 social interaction mod and it worked again.
James Tuner formally SimSuply has also had the bug with the pie menu. You’re not the only one with it. He had to reset the game to get it back but didn’t try going into CAS
8:53 That sim does _not_ include custom content. In fact it contains no content. It is a sim known as a Base Sim. They are created to use as bases and are deliberately without clothes, hair, or accessories, so you can style them however you want. They absolutely should not be in that tag, but I doubt there is a way to keep them out other than only using favorites and people you follow.
Two more salt add about the new world: 1. No Plants Grow in The New World be either Trees or bushes. 2. The Lake Area Jogging and Swimming Facility has NO basic Park and Recreation infrastructure such as public bathroom, grill and THE BIN!!!
I always find it funny how the devs always say that having more lots in worlds is impossible due to performance issues, but then they add millions of decorations and fake buildings in a world. 😂
Hey 👋🏾 so far I’m really enjoying the pack… I’m just playing through the game tho I’m Not rushing through it so it’s some features I haven’t even seen yet. I have all the packs so I’m trying to see how it all plays together etc. the new world is pretty but I prefer San myshuno so my sims live there ❤ so over all I like it but I can’t give a full answer yet.
the limited interaction wheel happened to me too!! i don't have the new pack yet. it seemed to be resolved by taking out my entire mods folder, but i didn't play after finding that out D:
100% agree i bought the pac today for $60 CAD with tax and truthfully as with most things in the sims its really under wellming. I will definitely get my money worth on the dating system but theres barley anthing to do. Once you get a parner use the app a bit and attempt the game show. its not really worth it
Id love for the sims to add more realistic gameplay now that theyve gone more into the mature side. Kids dont react when they see the parents cheating. Theres no way to have a teen pregnancy without mods. I need there to be more drama if a sim gets pregnant and has been with 2 or more sims. Im on console btw
This pack costs $60 in Australia so I definitely don’t think it’s worth it since you can buy a whole new game with $60 I feel like they have just got lazy because they have no competition and until another simulation game is released and does well it won’t change. I like lovestruck but it’s definitely not worth the price
I appreciate your review of this pack! It was very insightful. I was too impatient, and I got the pack. I do love it though. My main gameplay is romance based so it makes sense. Spoilers!!! Did you ever get the phone call about the 7 day date show option? I think it would be something you’d enjoy based on previous play through. I’m not sure how to trigger it to come up. Also, did you get any of the cute phone calls from significant others while you were playing? It might require not seeing them daily to get so I’m not sure if you would have if you consistently see them.
I have gotten a bunch of those phone calls and texts! I love them! It makes the game more interesting and difficult to decide who to be with if you are looking for love! I even had a Sim that I had been dating randomly show up at my wedding to try and win my girl Sim back so they add so much great extra drama!
@@ElizabethTrexler-d3c Oh wow! I love the drama. It’s like if anyone objects in the sims! I’m excited to play more with this pack. The texts and calls make romance much more dynamic.
I am glad you like the pack, I also do not have any regrets buying it because I had some sims that needed partners and I was just about to hook them up when this pack got announced. So it is perfect 😂. I think it’s fun and I like when you get texts from friends about your relationship!
I had the same glitch with the social wheel (no mods) I went into cas and changed my sims relationship/sexuality. The original sim didn’t have anything checked for the “romantically interested in (gender) sims “ once I clicked on male or female I got the socials back to normal .. maybe it’s a bug 😅 or a feature saying “this sim is aromantic so you get no romance options “ idk 🤔
My only real disappointment with this pack is how little interactive items there are. It's one of those packs that I enjoy because I have all other packs, if it were my only dlc I would be disappointment by the lack of new things to do.
My only issue with this game pack is that I can't go into manage worlds. But for some reason also I can't split from household it just freezes and does nothing so I haven't figured out why that's happening yet.. but I do like the lovestruck pack
I bought it when it was first out before it even launched and every day when I load in it says my game file is broken and I make sure that I save it before I exit every time. I save it like every 3 to 5 minutes because I’m afraid that it’s gonna crash and die on me or crash and burn and you know set my computer on fire. I can visit one of the bars on the map because it says it’s not complete. I have zero mods turned on for this game right now for the new expansion because it won’t load a lot of them keep breaking the game so I have nothing turned on. Honestly am at a loss for this expansion. It seems like every day when I try and load in and play. It is nothing but one problem after another and when I try and load another safe file and play on a different map, not even related to this one. I encounter issues with my other save files. I can’t play other save games I can’t play other maps because of issues with this expansion. It’s literally making my entire Sims scheme unplayable. 😢
How does this pack work with teens. Assuming no cheat codes are used, some of the features are a bit risqué for the teenagers. Are there any features aimed solely for them, or are they overlooked, again?
It’s an alright pack. Tbh I don’t really care much for the world and I agree with what you said about it feeling empty. That seems to be a reoccurring trend in the worlds they’ve been releasing. My complaints would be that the romance meter drastically changes in the blink of an eye (idk if that’s a bug or the way it’s intended) and I HATE that the game warns you SEVERAL TIMES when someone is about to divorce or break up with you. Also when a sim divorces you there’s no animation, no nothing.. it just happens.
Agreed. I don’t wanna sound negative, but the amount of content they put in ‘expansion’ packs now is kind of laughable. Especially compared to previous sims games. The sims 4 expansions are absolutely not worth their full price.
i have a feeling this should be a basegame update, while the pack should include something more substantial, like detailed divorce system (with divorce court chaos, child custody battle/schedule and prenups), some kind of sugardating network, woohoo skill, separate sexual and romantic attractions, your sims can become gold-diggers, honesty/dishonesty system, rumours, strip club, arranged marriage, better cheating and crushes, even the online dating feature looks very underwhelming--there's so much they can do but once again, let's just monetized the basic that should be in base game all along. 😭😭
This is the 2nd EP I regret purchasing (I also regretted buying For Rent.). The worlds in the recent EPs are terribly disappointing. The few good features of Lovestruck should have just been included in base game. I have already disabled the pack so as not to ruin my other save files.😢
It's a surprisingly good DLC. Still not worth what it cost but you're dumb if you pay for anything from EA. I think it might just be "good" because it's not broken, Congratulations EA this is how every DLC should be, working and with actual content and gameplay.
It's Buggy, buggy, buggy, and uh... buggy..... My sim would go on a date, then while sitting and talking or playing or anything, theyd randomly teleport. All the sims would. Then the date would walk off at times sometimes leave the lot... LOL... Also youd ask to do something together and they dont' BRUH..... Unless my sim is just dating arseholes lol
im not ace or are in anyway but this pack isn't asexual/aroromantic friendly and the new romance system from what I seen seems one demessional were is the drama

my biggest issue is this isn’t a LOVE pack it’s an infatuation/lust pack
no one’s fully “satisfied” in a relationship after one date
where’s the couples quarrels, the options to have those big conversations, the tender moments, i would love random buffs like “remembering” how much you love them
oh! or waking up and being angry that your husband cheated in a dream😂
but i’m a sucker for the details, that no one cares about lol
Some of those things are there, especially if your sim is romantically reserved. There are also options to talk about their relationships and standards.
For me the more “realism” the game has the less fun it is.. I understand it’s a life simulator but ppl want the game to be exactly like real life.

Same❤
It’s not lackluster, it’s small and sweet. Most simmers enjoy it as a little diversion, it isn’t meant to be a main feature.

For the lifetime aspiration they really should've divided them into age categories so as a young adult u gotta do this, as an adult that and elder this..... And unless it that age it won't tick off. Like that'll make it harder and probably more fun to use
As a console player with no mods I did have a lot of fun so far with this pack. It is more funny than most packs and it make me laugh a lot with the costumes, dating, broken heart and the blue bear, but I agree it’s not that deep or big.
100 % agree
I also don't play with Mods because I play on an Xbox.
&& I don’t understand why they just couldn’t put all these features into the wedding stories pack. It’s literally the same concept 😭. They keep making expansion packs that’s only worth game pack value money. Tartosa seems like a better world than the new world smh
&& it’s crazier how there’s no type of cross pack compatibility between lovestruck and wedding stories. That’s crazy to me 😭
I have both worlds, they are close but I actually prefer this one. There’s not much between them though. Some of the assets like the fountains are exactly the same. They are both very nice worlds 😊
You should definitely do the blue bear quest. 🎉
but then the bear is gloomy and erratic
I have the pack and I think this review is the most balanced and fair review I saw 🙂. My thought is that lovestruck is fun and I do not mind spending the money because I have it but it is probably best on sale unless you are really in a rush. I think what is in the pack is actually good and I was a bit surprised by just how enjoyable it has been but I do think they should have added a bit more building items and new activities like you said.
the sad blue bear has his own story by the way. Great review, looking forward to your next video!
Thank you for reviewing this! I was worried once you got sponsored by EA and in their creator program that you wouldn't be harsh or give an honest opinion; that you'd be scared you would lose the sponsor. Clearly you're not afraid and this is how sponsored creators should review the packs
I watch her more for builds than gameplay, I find her gameplay boring. But ive definitely seen her heavily criticise packs when building, just recently she told people never to waste their money on the spooky stuff and paranormal packs (which is wild as I like those packs!) I agree she tends to be more positive with gameplay features that I personally didn't think were great but I think that's a preference thing. She definitely complains about glitches and build items a lot though, especially on live streams
I totally agree on your point about build and buy and giving us items to furnish a house. It would be nice to be able to run a cohesive theme when decorating a home. There has been numerous times I've tried to decorate a home using a certain pack but I've always had to do my best for certain items. I do love the CAS items, the clothes are different and I can see myself using them a lot
The new things with the romance skills aren’t really new they just have new names like tender neck kiss is the same animation for the bg “neck kiss” as well as the emotionally connect the only different is that there’s a heart above the animation but in bg we have “hold hands” which is the same animation without the heart and last but not least lovingly dip kiss is the same as the “passionate kiss” so I think that is kind of fucked up on EA part for reusing those animations but calling them new names. The only reason why I would want to buy this pack is for the world (bc it’s pretty reminds me of Mexico and I’m from Texas so I enjoy that style) and for the clothes
Ugh. More reused animations? The amount of them seriously pisses me off. There's a crapton of interactions which do the same animation and serve the same function, the only thing different is the text you click. What the heck is even the point? Just to clutter the menus with illusions of choice/depth?
Imagine my disappointment when my doctor sim gained a new interaction called "check hotness". I was like "A new romantic interaction? Awesome!" ...and then I tried it and, lo and behold, the same old freaking animations. Again, what's even the point of adding "new" interactions if they aren't actually new? It just reeks laziness.
I love your channel! I can’t wait to see more videos now I’m rewatching your videos 😊
Fuckin Kerry there again 😂 I feel like he could become a meme lol
They better fix this pack… I want the bonus items but I’m not buying a broken pack. I could wait right before the preorder ends in September.
I love this pack except that I wish that the world was better though. The gym is my favorite location in the new world- the club isn't as good as in the Get Out pack. I wish that there had been more location options, but overall pretty pleased. The dates are/ were glitchy- I don't know if that's been fixed. I've been loving playing with this and the Vampire extension pack! The romantically reserved trait is great too.
I had the same glitches on dates and it was really frustrating. It seems to be a little better than last week though now. I am really enjoying this and my Occult packs. Also, I don't play with Mods (because I can't- I play on an Xbox), so I think that the glitches are due to the pack or update. I hope that they fix it soon.
Way to go, Karla. I very much enjoyed your review of Lovestruck 💘 Keep it up. You’re crushing it!
So in Australia this expansion pack is $70! I’m never going to buy it at that price and to me when it does go on sale I’ll wonder like at the grocery stores if the real price is the reduced price. (In Australia they sell laundry detergent for $36 before sale then they have the sale sticker each fortnight. Because it attracts the eye. No one will pay $36 but $18 half price people will pay, and think they are saving money). To me ea has done the same and it’s not ok.
jeez Australia
$60 not$ 70
@@lynfletcher7744 thats still nuts
In U.K. it is £35.99 which is $71 AUD so it’s actually cheaper for Australia, but it sounds a lot more. I think we all pay roughly the same?
@@jaybee4288 ok
I really like the dating and friendly hangout features. If you do more than three activities, it can be pretty different everytime. But that’s about it. Cas was pretty nice as a male simmer. If I didn’t have jungle adventure I wouldn’t have a complete build which is a bit yikes.
I dont have this pack yet, but I heard there's a story behind the big sad blue bear. Could make a cute video. Thank you for the review, I love watching your videos!! I'll be sure to use your code when I buy it 😊 Please keep doing what you do, I cant get enough!! Lol
I've had some fun with this pack. I've played through a couple of drama-filled storylines going through the 7 Wild Dates reality show. The world is pretty, but there isn't really anything there that makes it more than just another world. I do really like having the new CAS and Build/Buy items (I definitely agree we need a full set of items though!) The romance system is okay and the new dynamics can certainly add some fun and challenge. I am annoyed that the 'get to know you' social now gives me super-unhelpful information like x has the charisma skill. And I'm a bit bothered by how one successful date starts so much 'romantic satisfaction' and the date starts getting jealous when my Sim dates someone else. I understand after they become romantic partners, but otherwise, It was one date friend. Don't be a stalker. I like being able to customize the dates but I feel like the goals system is a bit long and repetitive. I feel like I'm just following orders really fast until the bar gets high enough and then my Sims can do what I really want them to do, lol.
love the lovestruck ep ... and manuel . he's gorgeous. yoltic is so difficult to know
I wonder if the Sims 4 team are going to pay attention to all the reviews about this pack not having enough to justify it being an Expansion Pack--no one would be upset if this was just a Game Pack. With all the reviews I've seen suggesting to wait for a sale then I think I'll be doing that (can't say there's much in this pack that makes me want it this very minute, not when mods allow me to cover most of what this has to offer).
One thing I do hope the team realise is that the new worlds really do suffer from being rather banal and empty. If they want a larger world, then they have to include more lots to build on, just look at Windenburg (easily one of my favourite worlds), with so many lots to play on and develop across four neighbourhoods it always felt bustling and full of activity.
I had the limited social wheel too and it was because I had an old mod called urban social media overrides for social bunny. I deleted that and update maplebell 100 social interaction mod and it worked again.
James Tuner formally SimSuply has also had the bug with the pie menu. You’re not the only one with it. He had to reset the game to get it back but didn’t try going into CAS
I ran into the same issues with the social interactions missing while on dates. I hope they get a fix for it soon.
8:53 That sim does _not_ include custom content. In fact it contains no content. It is a sim known as a Base Sim. They are created to use as bases and are deliberately without clothes, hair, or accessories, so you can style them however you want.
They absolutely should not be in that tag, but I doubt there is a way to keep them out other than only using favorites and people you follow.
Am I late... Ily and your vids SOOOOO MUCH actually I watch at least 10 vids per day....
ahh those were the days 😂 now i’ve watched everything she’s made already 😢
Two more salt add about the new world:
1. No Plants Grow in The New World be either Trees or bushes.
2. The Lake Area Jogging and Swimming Facility has NO basic Park and Recreation infrastructure such as public bathroom, grill and THE BIN!!!
I always find it funny how the devs always say that having more lots in worlds is impossible due to performance issues, but then they add millions of decorations and fake buildings in a world. 😂
Ill buy this when it goes on sale then fill newcrest or something with love hotels
I watch every video I love your content sm ❤
WE LOVE WINY BRIT WE ALL SHOUT IN UNISON\
IDK WHAT DAY I HAD TO FIGHT MYSELF NOT TO GIVE UP BUT ANYWAY LOVE YOU CARLA!!
💓💗💗
Spot on! 100% agree. Also it’s crashed soooooooooo many peoples games
Hey 👋🏾 so far I’m really enjoying the pack… I’m just playing through the game tho I’m
Not rushing through it so it’s some features I haven’t even seen yet. I have all the packs so I’m trying to see how it all plays together etc. the new world is pretty but I prefer San myshuno so my sims live there ❤ so over all I like it but I can’t give a full answer yet.
the limited interaction wheel happened to me too!! i don't have the new pack yet. it seemed to be resolved by taking out my entire mods folder, but i didn't play after finding that out D:
100% agree i bought the pac today for $60 CAD with tax and truthfully as with most things in the sims its really under wellming. I will definitely get my money worth on the dating system but theres barley anthing to do. Once you get a parner use the app a bit and attempt the game show. its not really worth it
Id love for the sims to add more realistic gameplay now that theyve gone more into the mature side. Kids dont react when they see the parents cheating. Theres no way to have a teen pregnancy without mods. I need there to be more drama if a sim gets pregnant and has been with 2 or more sims. Im on console btw
Got work to do today but that can be postponed when Whiny drops a vid❤👍
❤❤ I love your videos and u actually give us an honest review with the packs since we all know they're are some shitty ones out there 😂
This pack costs $60 in Australia so I definitely don’t think it’s worth it since you can buy a whole new game with $60
I feel like they have just got lazy because they have no competition and until another simulation game is released and does well it won’t change. I like lovestruck but it’s definitely not worth the price
I appreciate your review of this pack! It was very insightful. I was too impatient, and I got the pack. I do love it though. My main gameplay is romance based so it makes sense.
Spoilers!!!
Did you ever get the phone call about the 7 day date show option? I think it would be something you’d enjoy based on previous play through. I’m not sure how to trigger it to come up. Also, did you get any of the cute phone calls from significant others while you were playing? It might require not seeing them daily to get so I’m not sure if you would have if you consistently see them.
I have gotten a bunch of those phone calls and texts! I love them! It makes the game more interesting and difficult to decide who to be with if you are looking for love! I even had a Sim that I had been dating randomly show up at my wedding to try and win my girl Sim back so they add so much great extra drama!
@@ElizabethTrexler-d3c Oh wow! I love the drama. It’s like if anyone objects in the sims! I’m excited to play more with this pack. The texts and calls make romance much more dynamic.
I am glad you like the pack, I also do not have any regrets buying it because I had some sims that needed partners and I was just about to hook them up when this pack got announced. So it is perfect 😂. I think it’s fun and I like when you get texts from friends about your relationship!
I have the same exact bug with the sims from cupids corner like you said. No mods, no cc.
The hotel is just another woohoo closet. LOL.
I had the same bug/glitch. Multiple times. Pretty annoying. Hope it gets fixed fast.
the romantic park its lovely .
I had the same glitch with the social wheel (no mods) I went into cas and changed my sims relationship/sexuality. The original sim didn’t have anything checked for the “romantically interested in (gender) sims “ once I clicked on male or female I got the socials back to normal .. maybe it’s a bug 😅 or a feature saying “this sim is aromantic so you get no romance options “ idk 🤔
might be a mod affecting the interactions .. you have a pose mod
Did you just say you were going to get onto the heart shaped bed Karla? 😂😂😂😂
15:23 I'm having the same social wheel problem and I don't have lovestruck
I had the exact same issue with the pie menu! No social interactions available. I was so frustrated I just turned off my computer lol! 🤦♀️
you can swim in the lake near the wall of love
My only real disappointment with this pack is how little interactive items there are. It's one of those packs that I enjoy because I have all other packs, if it were my only dlc I would be disappointment by the lack of new things to do.
My only issue with this game pack is that I can't go into manage worlds. But for some reason also I can't split from household it just freezes and does nothing so I haven't figured out why that's happening yet.. but I do like the lovestruck pack
lovely . good job. can you do it not to fast when you show sims iteams of clodes ect . was to fast. thanks.
I love your content!
I bought it when it was first out before it even launched and every day when I load in it says my game file is broken and I make sure that I save it before I exit every time. I save it like every 3 to 5 minutes because I’m afraid that it’s gonna crash and die on me or crash and burn and you know set my computer on fire. I can visit one of the bars on the map because it says it’s not complete. I have zero mods turned on for this game right now for the new expansion because it won’t load a lot of them keep breaking the game so I have nothing turned on. Honestly am at a loss for this expansion. It seems like every day when I try and load in and play. It is nothing but one problem after another and when I try and load another safe file and play on a different map, not even related to this one. I encounter issues with my other save files. I can’t play other save games I can’t play other maps because of issues with this expansion. It’s literally making my entire Sims scheme unplayable. 😢
How does this pack work with teens. Assuming no cheat codes are used, some of the features are a bit risqué for the teenagers. Are there any features aimed solely for them, or are they overlooked, again?
2:18 reminds me of whicked whims
Question, how on earth do you make your SIM be your avatar and move like that?
It’s an alright pack. Tbh I don’t really care much for the world and I agree with what you said about it feeling empty. That seems to be a reoccurring trend in the worlds they’ve been releasing. My complaints would be that the romance meter drastically changes in the blink of an eye (idk if that’s a bug or the way it’s intended) and I HATE that the game warns you SEVERAL TIMES when someone is about to divorce or break up with you. Also when a sim divorces you there’s no animation, no nothing.. it just happens.
Under 1 hour
✋
I think they all should be gamepacks now.
Agreed. I don’t wanna sound negative, but the amount of content they put in ‘expansion’ packs now is kind of laughable. Especially compared to previous sims games. The sims 4 expansions are absolutely not worth their full price.
The naked sims are BASE sims they don't have cc or not owned packs they were made naked.
i have a feeling this should be a basegame update, while the pack should include something more substantial, like detailed divorce system (with divorce court chaos, child custody battle/schedule and prenups), some kind of sugardating network, woohoo skill, separate sexual and romantic attractions, your sims can become gold-diggers, honesty/dishonesty system, rumours, strip club, arranged marriage, better cheating and crushes, even the online dating feature looks very underwhelming--there's so much they can do but once again, let's just monetized the basic that should be in base game all along. 😭😭
imagine showing up to your date dressed up as a sexy catfish
This is the 2nd EP I regret purchasing (I also regretted buying For Rent.). The worlds in the recent EPs are terribly disappointing. The few good features of Lovestruck should have just been included in base game. I have already disabled the pack so as not to ruin my other save files.😢
They could have given us Paris🤦🏿♀️
I haven’t gotten one gallery match option.
How do you make the sim move in with you?
Ive watched loads of gameplay and reviews and i could tell this pack is not for me. I really want the build items ...! Cant justify the price though
I wish the game knew I have all of the packs. Advertising to me is pointless. It's annoying that I have to click it away to start playing.
It's a surprisingly good DLC. Still not worth what it cost but you're dumb if you pay for anything from EA. I think it might just be "good" because it's not broken, Congratulations EA this is how every DLC should be, working and with actual content and gameplay.
I just pirated the game & all the packs bc I wasn't about to pay 40 dollars for every ep that comes out💀
@@baylef God bless Anadius
❤❤❤❤❤
To be fair you pretty much speed run everything.
❤❤❤
It's Buggy, buggy, buggy, and uh... buggy..... My sim would go on a date, then while sitting and talking or playing or anything, theyd randomly teleport. All the sims would. Then the date would walk off at times sometimes leave the lot... LOL... Also youd ask to do something together and they dont' BRUH..... Unless my sim is just dating arseholes lol
❤😊
Engagement
im not ace or are in anyway but this pack isn't asexual/aroromantic friendly and the new romance system from what I seen seems one demessional were is the drama
Is there anything for kids?
Personally this shouldn’t be a back this should be part of the normal game play
ITS 21 QUID ON CDKEYS ! ;)
cas . build buy are the best sims 4 creators have done
the world is stunning
