Be careful with the Steamy dynamic. Your sim will have "Thinking about partner" autonomous interaction. It's annoying because it will happened when your sim is sleeping resulting your sim waking up multiple times throughout the night.
That would be unrealistic, plus different body types exist. Even then, im skinny but tall and on a single bed there is no room for cuddling, barely for sleeping. 💀
i'm so glad i wasn't the only person thinking the blanket item had to be a subtle reference to that incident. i know packs take a whole to develop, and that was pretty recent, but..... c'mon...
@@marinadela1361 Yeah, every game aged a bit, but I doubt any will age as bad as The Sims 4 unless they keep updating it several years out to remove the slang. I'd argue TS2 aged the best, most of the furniture and outfits were timeless or at least nostalgic.
I think it's nice they didn't, like an acknowledgment that it's important to call things by their name, especially something so important as sex education
I wish they also had like the Sims 2, where you could love a sim, but that same sim could hate you at the same time, bc they are 2 different peiple with different perceptions
I like these features. The one that's pretty strange is the heart shaped bed acting like a Murphy bed. One feature about the heart shaped bed that wasn't mentioned is that sims voices change if they sit on the bed while its vibrating.
When I saw the Ring Rizz buff I felt a part of me die inside And it's kinda annoying that most of the events only happens like once at least for my case
12:56 the picnic itself does work without the picnic basket as well. just click on the blanket and select one of the options. if you meant that in order to have a "real" picnic with both a blanket and a basket you need both packs, then I agree. but when I first discovered that the basket slots to the blanket I was actually excited, cross-pack compatibility is always a win in my book
Sadly Sims can't prefer bodytypes anymore. I understand why, "times have changed" or whatever, but I have Sims I'd imagine would prefer heavyset, thin, or muscular Sims and it feels kind of immersion breaking that we got Outfit Colors instead
The sims 2 turn on/off system resulted in every premade couple having zero attraction to each other - or even worse. Even if I tried to deliberately alter them to fit the other sim in the couple, they never managed to hit it off.
@@slwrabbits You need to use SimPE to fix that. Even if you're not a modder SimPE is basically mandatory for every Sims 2 player to learn unless they don't mind save corruption.
One thing that is pretty cool, you can teach your child sims about relationship dynamics and romantic satisfaction to give them a new trait when they age up
they need to start adding animations for specific objects instead of using that basic default animation sims use for everything 😭 the one abi pointed out during the axolotl section of the video (i also don’t like how they pull out a motherboard looking tablet and start fixing it for every electronic device in the game… i miss my sims having to pull the tv and work on the back of it 😭)
the tablet is also used for too.. idk why its so hard for a triple A to deliver such tiny yet immersive details.. i mean i do know why. we are talking about EA at the end of the day
Evil Sims should be able to sell the Axolotls What's the point of putting the "Sell" button there if you can't even use it? Hopefully someone makes a mod for this.
Okay, I was really unsure about getting this pack (as I already had mods that did a lot of this), but I have to admit, the sweetheart box looks cute, I like the picnic blanket (though yes, it's embarrassing that we need TWO packs to have a picnic on a blanket), and some of those phone calls and the Ring Bear thing look pretty amusing. XD I dunno if it's enough to sway me, but -- we'll see.
You don't need both packs to have the picnic. It works without the basket from Cottage Living, but they added the cross pack compatibility by creating a place for the basket to slot if you DO choose to bring it.
Oh! your spanish hears good! When I heard you saying the name of the new place "Ciudad Enamorada" I got surprised! "Plaza Mariposa" and "Vista Hermosa" really good job on the speaking!
When my Korean hubby first heard Indonesian (Abi's native language), he said, "This sounds like Spanish, but I can't understand it at all." 😂Indonesian language reads very similar to Romantic languages, but many Indonesian words actually came from Dutch, Hindi, and Arabic due to the history (yay trading, yay colonialism? 😂)
4:19 I think that it's a reference from a tiktoker who had a axolotel and most of their videos were about drawing things on the aquarium's glass (like mustaches, for example) so it looked like the axolotle looked like if it had a mustache, in this case.
I will be honest, I am really liking this pack now that all the features are laid out; once the bugs are propey fixed I will get this. Thanks onlyabidoang! 😊
It still feels like lovestruck is a game pack not an expansion pack and I've not decided if it's worth the 40$. I'm still watching every video and let's play in it.
I still think that most of the interaction should have been in base game, while the others should have been into a single pack among the other thousand of game pack. Anyway, you've done an amazing work with this video Abi, good job as always ✨️
Whichever team this is, I would love them to do an overhaul on the existing games and add the details they have so lovingly added to this pack. They really took the rest of the game into consideration. For a while there, it was like every pack was a separate game.
I'm surprised to say that, even with the bugs, and maybe with the bar being so low, I'm actually impressed with this pack. But romance is the sims game I play, so maybe that's why 😂
My wealty weirdo was nancy landgraab wich made sense when i saw the name but my sim just became a widow so he wasnt in the mood plus he has 3 teen sons to care for
8:15 for the secret admirers thing they need to fix it as married sims can be a secret admirer my female sims secret admirer was a gay married man ik he was gay i made him gay
the thing is , why there is auto break ups, when sims don't cheat on partner autonomous, I would have to do it manually and intentionally put the other sim in front of it to get caught. I would love to have some randomness and more autonomy and not directed autonomy and complete control if I want some chaos or drama.
You were wrong about not getting anything special from completing the Axolotl collection. As with every other collection in the game, you get a plaque in the mail once you complete it. This plaque has a cute little gold emblem on it and has a little blurb about the collection when you hover over it.
The dialogue options convinced me that this expansion is attempting to parody Sims mockingly. It also convinced me that the development team was replaced by new people who don't know the first idea how to create content. One of the most important things about making your product last is that you do not introduce language that is inherently temporary. I'm sure "rizz" will age well...

Father winter did that in my game too, it’s honestly really funny that Santa is going around trying to find a sugar baby lol
In mine it was Geoffrey...like sir, you're Good and have a wife. My sim is evil and he has a wife. It won't work.
It was Father Winter for me too XD
i’ve had judith ward and nancy landgraab 😭

I thought that was from the lovebug trait
but then again it's not annoying for me
@@ChrissaTodd I thought so too but I have multiple sims who doesn't have the lovebug trait and it happened. It's getting tired really quick 🙄
Relatable.
@@blameitondannythere’s a mod that makes them sleep all night
@@NottheReal Little sam sleep all night mod? Doesn't work lmao. I have the mods but it still happened.
Cuddling should also be available on a single bed. Sharing a single bed IS cuddling on a superior level.
Thanks I found all the new romance stuff really overwhelming so this helps 😊
Not if you sleep weird like I do lol I need a double bed to sleep
@@RosheenQuynh I know that NOT everyone can share a single bed, even with a lover.
That would be unrealistic, plus different body types exist. Even then, im skinny but tall and on a single bed there is no room for cuddling, barely for sleeping. 💀
@@octane1713ah yes bc a whiny blue bear in a park is veeeeery realistic. besides, all Sims are the same height.

now we can recreate the blanket couple from central park 😭
thats what i thought 😭

I NEVER thought the sims would use a word like rizz ever
@@marny69 it will really age the expansion as a whole once the word goes out of fashion.
It’s so skibidi right.
@@marinadela1361 Yeah, every game aged a bit, but I doubt any will age as bad as The Sims 4 unless they keep updating it several years out to remove the slang.
I'd argue TS2 aged the best, most of the furniture and outfits were timeless or at least nostalgic.
This pack has a lot of cringe (in its usual Playful way) so I'm not surprised 😂
@@whiteglovian the environment and its items are very dated
Thank you so much for making me aware that cake dancers were a thing and that we should make a petition to add them as a pack update
15:36 I'm surprised that doesn't say "WooHoo education".
I think it's nice they didn't, like an acknowledgment that it's important to call things by their name, especially something so important as sex education
"I won't watch any videos about pack, I don't wanna spoil anything -> Abi made a video? Omg I need to watch right now"

The amount of salt coming from Abi whenever he mentions the cake dancers, welp time for modders to have time in the sun
I miss the cake dancers too... And the bachelor / bachelorette dancers. They were a vibe. 🎉😢
It's kinda fun that the dip kiss requires some skill. In TS3 it feels pretty silly that everyone's doing it all the time!
There's a regular dip kiss, "passionate kiss".
Evil Sims should be able to sell the Axolotls
What's the point of putting the "Sell" button there if you can't even use it?
Hopefully someone makes a mod for this.
Wow I agree, that's a small detail. And maybe they could get playful moodlet from that or even caught👀, which need to pay for the fine like 1000§🤣
"with that basic ass animation" 😂 😂 I agree with you so much!! That animation is so utilized and so lazy. Takes away the immersion
I have been following you for a long time and you’re still one of my favorites, love your videos, thank you for sharing.

Glad you showed what the ghost looks like and what they do. Others have covered the deaths, but not the ghosts. I was quite curious about it.
Can't believe they actually added depression into this game.
It's been in since base
Oh! your spanish hears good! When I heard you saying the name of the new place "Ciudad Enamorada" I got surprised! "Plaza Mariposa" and "Vista Hermosa" really good job on the speaking!
Thank you! I was afraid I’m gonna butcher them at first, but turns out my language have a somewhat similar pronunciation with Spanish lol
Apparently there's quite a bit of Arabic in both, and both have words from/used in Portuguese so there's quite a few similarities 😄. I love languages!
@@TeruteruBozusama Yes it does! But mostly because spanish language has mostly romance language and Arabic language too.
@@onlyabidoang Yep! And from a native spanish-speaker I said you did such a great job! 👍💕

This was a really good review. I actually know what the pack is about.
4:19 I think that it's a reference from a tiktoker who had a axolotel and most of their videos were about drawing things on the aquarium's glass (like mustaches, for example) so it looked like the axolotle looked like if it had a mustache, in this case.

10:53 ring rizz is crazy
I’m sorry did I just see the word RIZZ in the sims??
Cake dancers: we miss you too abi !❤❤
They wanted me to give you this message😅
You have good taste Abi, Cake Dancers are top tier
Thank you 🙏🏾 for the video lol I really like the new pack but I’m so mad about all the bugs smh 🤦🏾♀️
Should we leave you alone with the 🎂 dancers now?? 👯♀️ 😂
Yess I was waiting for you to do a video on this❤️
It still feels like lovestruck is a game pack not an expansion pack and I've not decided if it's worth the 40$. I'm still watching every video and let's play in it.
16:27 Not Emily and Abi as "stupid ass" in custom relationship. 😭
Your Spanish is really good, I was surprised when you said Ciudad Enamorada so well. It almost sounded like if you're Latino :)
Nice video! Thank you!
But thanks to the music i'm going to play Sims 2 now :D
The cake dancers! Holy shit! You just unblock a memory in me!
7:20 interesting looking hotel logo
I still think that most of the interaction should have been in base game, while the others should have been into a single pack among the other thousand of game pack.

Then what would they have left to sell as buyable DLC…
10:53 We got Ring Rizz is Sims 4 before GTA 6
Just found out yesterday that if you click on the heart chair you can enable emotional aura!
Not the can you jingle my bells tonight comment with father winter 😂
Whichever team this is, I would love them to do an overhaul on the existing games and add the details they have so lovingly added to this pack.
They really took the rest of the game into consideration.
For a while there, it was like every pack was a separate game.
Finally, a DLC that will give Agnes Crumplebottom a heart attack. Oh, the nerve of youths these days! As your generation would say, get a room!
me when ever abi mention about the cake dancer from sims 1 for the 100 times
*ALRIGHT I GOT IT!!!*
Friendly hangouts are my favourite as I can finally have friends go to the pub and stay there without having to use clubs.
Lovestruck would’ve been better as a stuff pack to be honest… considering a romance pack shouldn’t be that expensive
5:25 That escalated quickly…
Abi is into some stuff and I am here for it.
I'm surprised to say that, even with the bugs, and maybe with the bar being so low, I'm actually impressed with this pack. But romance is the sims game I play, so maybe that's why 😂

Searching for an axolotl in a tree stump is ridiculous as they live in water. You may as well look for fish in there too 😂😂😂
Is usually hate goofy gameplay but I think the ring bear sold me on this pack.
I personally like this pack
Same❤
Another two features: not being able to pay the bills in some households and not being able to attend some events like prom or the starlight ceremony
The cake dancers 😂😂
The last Sims logic was 2 YEARS AGO
please make a new one
This is the first pack I’m seeing that makes me want to try the sims 4. I just don’t want to have to shell out for other packs 🙃
I'm really happy with the telenovela thing 😭😭
8:15 for the secret admirers thing they need to fix it as married sims can be a secret admirer my female sims secret admirer was a gay married man ik he was gay i made him gay
Ohhhh now I have a reason to use that picnic basket
"with a basic ass animation" 😂
Another one : In the woohoo motel , if your sim dresses up in a costume , there will be different woohoo interactions
Finally, the Woohoo skill is official!
I got the ring on my first try lol
gw indo tp gw suka bgt kl dijelasinnya pk bhs inggris, jd makin ngerti bhs inggris.. smangat mas abii
i love all the callbacks to the cake dancers 😭
conclusion there is no cake dancers!
I’m just vibing out to the music in the background 😅
A romance pack.. eh I'm not too-
*Axolotls*
AXOLOTLS??

I would love to have some randomness and more autonomy and not directed autonomy and complete control if I want some chaos or drama.
Wow awesome…. Even games are starting to rub it in and laugh in my face
i can't even play it since my potato Laptop suffers a lot but nice video, Abi!!

I can't believe this game gives us a Grumpy Care Bear quest.
Congratulations on getting your own creator code!
Hahaha... The only Cake Dancer your sim will get catfished in Sims 1 is El Vis the Infamous Dancer
You forgot about the newest feature everyone is talking about: Error Code 123.
