This is in response to the comment that romance in Sims 4 is fine as is. I disagree. Romance needs to be expanded in the game. Going on dates is pretty lame right now.
Here are things we could do in past games that we can't do right now:
1. Play footsie under the table at a restaurant.
2. Hold hands across the table and be flirty.
3. Propose while at dinner.
4. Feed each other a bite of food (I swear I saw this pop up as an option in Sims 4 once, but I've never seen the option again).
5. Cuddle in bed (while awake and while sleeping)
6. Make out in bed (on top of the covers)
7. SLOW DANCING
8. Kiss while slow dancing
9. We had more kissing options (kiss up arm, smooch, tender, romantic, suck face, make out while standing up, etc.)
10. Take romantic photo booth pictures together
11. Woohoo in the photo booth
12. Hammock and car woohoo (would be nice if they could cuddle/snuggle/makeout as well... if we ever get a hammock or cars)
13. Buy perfume or jewelry for our lovers at an actual store
14. Buy flowers from a flower stand
15. Select turn ons/turn offs
16. Scope the room for potential love matches
17. Zodiac compatibility
18. Hire a match maker
19. Go on a honeymoon after getting married.
There are many more things we had in previous games, but I can't think right now. I hope they do give us a romance expansion of some sort. It would be nice if our sims could have better weddings, receptions, and honeymoons.
Sending sims on a date in Sims 4 has always been lame to me right from the start. And which is why that I have never really sent any of my sims on a date somewhere. Except on a couple of them to see how the dating part of the game goes. And I found that dating in Sims 4 was indeed lame. In fact several of the dates were total disaster because several NPC sims would join in uninvited and ruin that special alone time moment for my young couple.
