I read in an earlier thread that face to face couple dancing wasn't initially available. Has any patch or pack added it? Because I can't seem to make it happen. I heard the game has added slow dancing (can't seem to find that option either) but I am interested in some faster couple dancing, like if they were in a club dancing to a fast beat together. How do I make that happen? Is it possible? When I selected "Dance with so and so" they just danced next to each other and not actually WITH each other.

No, all that exists is group dancing in GT. I don't know where you've heard these things from.

Dancing with a partner is not in game I’m afraid.

This may sound pathetic but I was enjoying a 5 day weekend before I have to go back to work tomorrow and I feel like my 5 day weekend was absolutely ruined and wasted by finally breaking down and purchasing Sims 4 and trying to have fun playing it. lol I am such a nerd.

If you have High School Years you can sweetheart dance with, dream wedding adds a slow dance, and the new Royals adds waltz together.

I want energetic couples dances, like the Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Foxtrot and Tango. Many dances from the early 1900's through to the 1950's were fast paced, and if you were good at them you could throw in a heap of trick steps.

Yes! I missed the slow dance and other romantic interactions m.

I hope there will be a romance pack that will have these sorts of sweet and romantic interactions.

There is a slow dancing mod that is quite good, that I recommend if you're not opposed to mods. I wish it were officially in the game, but this fills in that gap for me for now: http://sims4studio.com/post/97438

Thanks for showing us the mod! :smile: I’ll have to see if it’s updated for Seasons, though, before I install any mods.

And that's a terrible thing, one of my Sims goes to the club a lot and its weird watching them all dancing side by side.
I try to get them to talk to each other & dance together but its not happening. Hope this changes.

i want slow-dancing so bad!!! I tried the mod, but the animation is sub-par. I guess its better than nothing, but I really wish we had something better.

I wonder if they will eventually give us a way to take a dance skill to 10. I do really think these things will come but this one for me is also hard to wait for.

I wonder if they'd add slow dancing with a 5 level skill in something like a wedding stuff pack.

I am still very frustrated about this game's lack of couple dancing. Sims dancing together was one of the things that enchanted me about the very first game years ago. I was a young gay boy and there were NO other games at the time that allowed this kind of same sex interaction. I purchased my first entrance into the game shortly after Makin' Magic was released, but I started with The Sims Mega Deluxe and then went from there, slowly building my collection til I got them all, and I fell in love with this game largely because my male sims could *dance with each other*, go out on dates, kiss, etc. By the time I was done, part 2 was released and I went and bought a better graphics card just so I could play it. My favorite features remained present in Sims 2 and when 3 came out, they were still there as well and they were even BETTER. The club dancing with couples was bleeping awesome. The animations were amazing. So this lack of couple dancing is just bitterly disappointing for me with Sims 4. And honestly, even the single person dancing animations that already exist...they don't impress me especially much either. I'm hoping a mod eventually comes along that converts Sims 3 dance animations for use in Sims 4.

It amazes me how the company is just sitting back, raking in the money. Meanwhile, it's the mod creators who are plastering and painting over the huge gaps in the game play.

When is this merry-go-round going to stop?

This version shouldn't have been called TS4. It's not a successor to what came before. Rather, it should have been called The Sims: DIY.

The thing is they are not sitting back. Just because they aren't tell you what are currently in the works, or the content that you wanted hasn't been given to you yet, it dosen't mean they aren't doing anything.

Perhaps you're okay with staple interactions being inexplicably absent. I'm not.

When the community has to work to add the kind of interactions that made the Sims series what it is, there's a serious problem.
