Did you guys see the "latest news" about the love story? Could there be some kind of romance themed pack coming? It looks like they've started the lead-up to whatever is on the horizon.

What do you all think?

I could see a Romance Stuff pack, or even a Romance Game pack. If they do a game pack, they should add another buildable world, with a pre-built wedding venue. They should also add a "throw the bouquet", "throw the garter", "make a toast" and "eat wedding cake...together" interaction. Though they already did Romantic Garden stuff. It would be easy to add more decorative flowers, that is for sure. Certainly a selection of wedding gowns and wedding shoes, along with bridesmaid gowns and shoes, and matching tuxedos for grooms and groomsmen. Not to even mention romantic wallpapers with hearts and/or roses on them. They could also add a selection of grooms cakes.

Or, like a certain chat game I play on occasion, they could do different themed wedding stuff as well: Wild West wedding, Indian/Bollywood wedding, Fairytale wedding, Traditional Western wedding, Winter holiday wedding, even a Goth/Vampire (dark) wedding. Wedding stuff with a large variety of wedding colors. My wedding IRL by the way, had colors turquoise and yellow.

For me, if it's a romance game pack, I'd like it to focus more on new systems and interactions. Weddings are only a one time thing in Sim relationships and to be honest, I've never given any of my Sims a wedding because it's too much of a hassle. I'd get much more use out of a game mechanic that gives our Sims personal preferences and turn-ons and turn-offs. I'd like to see chemistry between Sims, new ways to date or find partners, and romantic interactions like holding hands, couple dances that are both slow and spicy, and new ways to flirt. I'd like blind dates, speed dating, internet hook-ups and family marriage arrangements. I'd like new places for teens to go "make out", first crushes, and new moodlets for rejection. Maybe even a new type of singles party so Sims can gather all the eligible Sims together to mingle.

I do think we could use more multi-cultural weddings too, and your ideas are definitely awesome. A game pack could probably include a lot of both romance and wedding stuff. :)
