TS4 Lovestruck Positive Thoughts Discussion

Just caught up with it last night; overall I think the pack has a lot going for it! I get excited for every pack and kit (usually) but I admit I wasn't sure what all was making this an expansion. Love the relationship dynamics and how someone mentioned it will tie in with Growing Together. Appreciate the Cupid's app, new CAS/BUILD looks great, SO happy about the eyelashes and applying makeup to categories. Not sure why that took 10 years but hey!

The world has a good amount of lots and is so vibrant. Really does remind me when I visited Mexico a few years ago. I already have ideas of an apartment and a house to build--the world looks like it would have apartments for sure!

Also, Axolotls are VERY cute and I love that we can have not only a real one but a sculpture. Ahhhhh! 😍

I'm legit more excited for the base game update than for the pack!

This is a really nice gift to the players. <3

Although I have been looking forward to Lovestruck, I had actually started to fear what changes it would bring to Basegame, because I love to compose and orchestrate my Sims' emotions and love affairs with a tight hand in my story writing.
I am therefore pleased to see that everything appears to be able to be set on and off in the settings. I really appreciate that the game can be adjusted according to individual needs in this way 💖
Next to my main game, I have a test game where most things are allowed to develop without limits 😆

• I love the eyelashes (Even though I didn't know I missed them)
• I also love that you can easily copy make-up, jewelery and clothes into the different clothing categories.
• I love that you can easily open a sim's personality card (don't know the word) without going into the list of friends and acquaintances.
• I love the personal boundaries and desires that come with CAS and that the sim can have multiple levels of relationships beyond engagement and marriage.
• All these cuddling options I'm going to love too.

I love a lot of what I see so there is probably more but until then I will stop here.

Probably. It's annoying though.

83bienchenSo sorry for your loss.

Haha yeah always writing books
I like that its accessory cause I might not want to use them on all my sims
especially since I play lots of premades and I mostly don't want them to suddenly change looks mid story 😅

but yeah these ones look bit too much like those spiders people used to wear in early 2000

I see a lot of things I like in the new pack, but I also see what was missed out on... like in turn on and off they could have put Supernatural sims... if was a turn on or off because we have supernatural sims in the game also.  

I never cared about CC eyelashes (although my mods folder is at bursting levels). I just grew used to sims with no eyelashes. I'm excited that we now get them in base game, and I do agree with you that they are a bit meh. I would expect them a tad less bold, aaand that the lower part would be a bit less massive than the upper part. In RL the upper eyelashes are always longer and thicker, probably a way nature wanted to help us keeping the sun away from our eyes. In TS4 it looks like the lower part is about the same as the upper part. It would be fine for model sims and dating sims who might even add some extensions, but not for the regular house keeping sim who hardly use makeup. So - I wish the base game eye lashes would look more everyday and less "I added *all* my mascara + a little extra to make sure I stand out in my kitchen".

Another disappointment is that eyelashes are accessory. I'd rather see them as a genetic thing added to each and everyone at least from teen and up. Inheriting long/short eyelashes from your parents would be exciting, too. Now, it seems we must add them to each sim individually in CAS, like we ad makeup. Good fr the makeup sims, but I feel sorry for all the others (the majority, including male sims) who - in my game - must live on without this little extra...

(oh! that turned out to a long rant. Maybe i should write a book on this subject, LOL)

My favorite lots are the mediums. So I'm really happy seeing all those 30's everywhere. 😁 

The only thing they showed from the new career is the rewards you can get with it. And they didn't really show off the new premades either. 

So, you're probably going to want to see what youtubers have to say on this.
