LGR - The Sims 4 Lovestruck Review

[@LGR]

Well dang, I had no idea _Wonderful Whims_ existed, which is a less explicit version of _Wicked._ Looks like it has lots of the same additions though so it's worth a look! wonderfulwhims.com/

[@merchantfan]

Yeah- though you're stuck with a kind of annoying period system (why do they constantly change moods, it's like a bad joke from your weird divorced uncle) though so it's got a few downsides. I like WW but don't really like it for playing on lots with kids on them since Sims will just randomly walk around naked. The attraction system is slightly harder to use since you have to go through a lot of menus for every Sim, though it does get more specific physically. There are some mods now that add more physical attraction stuff to Lovestruck but for whatever reason the one I had stopped showing up after I cleaned up other mods

[@refillpan]

@@merchantfanthe settings for ww are very advanced so any feature you don’t like can be tuned or just turned off

[@binimbap]

@@merchantfan you can disable the period, nudity, attraction or any other system you don't want in either version of WW.

Holy sh*** I used to play this mod in the mid to the late 2010s in my copy of TS4 until I stopped playing TS4 (no, I don't collect all of their mini packs) and the Sims series. Good thing I avoid this one due to the similar concept and functionality.

That expansion seemed really stupid and yet it is the only expansion that is still darkened out on my Sims 3 launcher. The completionist side of me will never live that down.

[@monsterfurby]

The point about dates being constantly interrupted is, I think, the most important and central issue at least I have with Sims 4. It's really hard to focus on things when the game assumes the player has the attention span of a toddler and that everything. Has to. Happen. All the time. Without. Pause. This isn't even just limited to dates. I think this is why Sims 4 feels so stressful to me - it's not as engaging as 3 to begin with, but it also burdens the player with so much stuff that the cost of that little return, mentally, is just way too high.

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

Yes!!! Every new pack takes over the game. But also there’s no sense of feature filtering. When I am playing a single adult sim whose not even married yet, why am I constantly getting HSY NOTIFICATIONS!! Even with the feature off, you NEVER really escape NAPs once you install Eco Lifestyle. And now with Lovestruck there either seems to be canoodling couples everywhere Or rapant mean Sims. (Confirmed by bug reports, don’t own lovestruck). Every new pack is overpowering instead of adding to the environment of the world.

[@bluejedi723]

the entire sims 4 by now...I agree...I feel like everyone has severe untreated ADHD and the attention span of a toddler high on soda and sugar

[@koibubbles3302]

@bluejedi723 I always thought that even with only the base game.

[@artry93]

100% Agree with you on the level of stressful and problem with the mini packs and expansion in TS4 Base game which is why I wouldn't be surprised that the TS4 modders (from Patreon, Pinterest and Tumblr) who fixed some minor and large one. That's why I stopped played it and the sims series as a whole because their offical programmers (some newcomers not the more experience ones since they left or fire from EA) or technical team wouldn't learn any past problems in their DLC and others in the 2010s to the late 2019s to current. 🙄

One minor example that has been broken for years is the training interaction between vampires. Normally the "teacher" uses a skill and then the "pupil" tries to do the same but sometimes fails.

From all the trailers and reviews I really got the feeling that they saw wicked whims and just copied features that they could pass thru the teen rating... the dating app, attraction, polyamory, some new interactions and woohoo spots... idk, also still no way to make a poly closed relationship, it's either all or nothing

[@seadragonpirate8195]

I don't even play the sims anymore but i look forward to these and i must say this pack is something else 😂

[@merchantfan]

There's also a chance you can get a call from a "Rich Weirdo" and if you meet them at the love hotel they either ghost you or give you stuff. And you can get a call from your Sim's love interests about them having a heart bed and then you can basically go disappear and do a booty call

[@SoCalGuitarist]

wow, they deporned wicked whims and turned it into a supported expansion. I'm legit impressed they went this far.

[@terryechoes3192]

Wow, you can smell the crass desperation in this pack from here.

[@BeanutButterBoy]

LGR is the best reviewer for the sims. I always wait to watch your reviews before I buy an expansion. This one looks fun.

[@T1544767]

13:22 "...which, I don't know how it passed QA since it clearly has a misplaced water texture..." You're assuming EA has Quality Assurance...

[@anonymouschicken20]

At this point, not even the Early Access players have not been consulted for QA. It's literally part of their job.

[@TheHenfordHen]

@@anonymouschicken20 Early Access simmers are not QA? How is it a part of their job?

@@TheHenfordHen If EA dont care what they find, let alone fix bugs they found.

[@johnrivers3813]

I know how it passed, they had too many game breaking bugs and had to prioritize those over the ones that cause visual glitches

I don't doubt that they *have* QA, I just don't think they give a shit about listening to them.

[@laurab6146]

I genuinely laughed out loud a few times in this review. I love how you pair your capture with your review. Thanks for still doing these, they are always fun to watch. For anyone looking to buy this, some of the relationship options, like boundaries and woohoo buddies, are now part of the base game.

Still playing The Sims 3 until today and never touch The Sims 4 at all. But i still love watching your Sims 4 content video 🫶👍

[@brainybunny13]

Same here I have been playing sims 3 and never even bothered buying sims 4. I pirated sims 4 all expansions during the time when tiny living came out but even with that much content I couldn't get into it and went back to sims 3. Sims 1 and 2 are also fun and amazing. There is more fun and gameplay in the previous generations than in sims 4.

[@nelson6532]

Me too. I'm finishing building my new pc just to play TS3 all fucking day.

[@PeteyThePenguinn]

I genuinely tried to get into the Sims 4, but I just couldn't. Even the game with a couple expansions felt shallow and empty compared to base game Sims 2, 3, and even 1. It's a shame, because I've loved the Sims series up until Sims 4.

[@murfeel1173]

[@ashbelero]

It’s crazy because Wicked Whims does have a very complex attraction system and you’re not required to turn it on for every Sim. I went through a phase of doing everything I could with the mod but now I leave it installed for the extra realism in certain areas, even things unrelated to smut entirely.

[@kewoshk]

Even modders are better than EA, they’ve stopped trying long ago

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

TBF with Lovestruck, you don’t have to give turn ons/turn offs to your Sim or even likes/dislikes. They can get them through gameplay. Which is my preferred way anyway. But Lovestruck is still not better than how I already play with Lumpinos RPO Modules installed so I have never used Wondeful Whims. Looked at the mod and decided to stick with RPO and have ever since. Was never interested in Wicked Whims. But I think they are both amazing mod work.

Though as lilsimsie noted a lot of lots aren't actually connected to a road so there might be permanent issues in the base game that might make cars impossible in 4

[@KopitioBozynski]

10:01 I'm honestly surprised it's not called "encourage woohoo wisdom" or something similar just to keep up with the rest of the motifs. But then again this entire DLC seems like the dev team got drunk and decided to throw their kinks at the proverbial wall to see what stuck or..... I'll let myself out now.

That animation of the blanket woohoo was UPSETTING. It turns your sims into liquefied cocoon larvae that undulates and I feel like it's going to jump off my screen, dive down my throat, and then burst out of my stomach. I know all previous sims games turn your woohooing sims into an awful amalgamation of polygons to rustle blankets and such, but it never evoked such imagery of insect-like rot before.
