- 2 new Love aspirations: Romantic Explorer and Paragon Partner.
- 2 new traits: Romantically Reserved (requires deep friendly relationship before romance, build Logic and Writing skills faster) and Lovebug (build romantic relationships faster, but need more work to keep the romantic satisfaction up). These conflict with each other.
