Lovestruck without cupid's corner?
I have seen several videos and articles about lovestruck but would like to hear your opinions. Most of my sims find their true love through the hand of the Watcher (me 😉) I would give cupid's corner...

You can go on dates without the Cupid's Corner application. My sims haven't used it yet. Also, you can use this EP with existing couples too, not just new ones to find new partners. So you can get your already married couples go on dates, or you could use the objects and interaction from this EP to set up romantic vacations or maybe honeymoons. But you don't need to go on a date to show love and affections. There's quite a lot of new love related interactions. If you like to play with love in you game then this EP brings more of that, whether your sims have a quiet day at home or they go on a date. If you only use woohoo once in a blue moon to make babies or your sims are asexual, then there is the world, which is lovely, picnic blanket, and chocolates. Also CAS and build and buy catalogue.
Would you consider the additional love related interactions as something that actually gives something more to relationships? Are relationships more complicated or fundamentally different with love struck installed? Does the introduction of the romance skill suddenly make existing couples limited at romance because the won't have any experience in this skill when the pack is first installed.
The romance skill and what this EP brings, in general, is more interactions to express how your sims feel about one another. So there will be more interactions depending on level of love skill and relationship dynamic. Everything in this EP is in addition to what is already there, so your existing couples won't be limited (more than they already are) in the romance department but they will be able to learn and unlock more interactions. I wouldn't say relationships are fundamentally different or more complicated, now there are the relationship dynamics, but this works basically like lifestyles and once you match a relationship pattern sims behavior will continue in that pattern and will open some specific interactions. If you want to change that you need to work on it. I like the custom relationships you can now add, though not sure those are tied to the EP. A sim now has the status of stalking ex-fiancee in my game.
