I tried romancing Caleb because he turned up at the bar and managed a tiny bit of romance and friendship. Caleb asked my sim on a date and the more they learned about each other the worse it went. I spotted Umber snuggling his wife and went for it. Right under his wife’s nose and Caleb’s, my sim snatched Umber. Turns out he’s extremely compatible in friendship and romance with my sim. Much more so than Umber’s wife. Within a day, he was asking to move in and my sim convinced him to leave his wife. My first Umber snatch 😂
@@EnglishSimmerI did, I think it was the ask romance attraction, the sim was only attracted to men so when I tried to do any romance action the romance option was greyed out. I’ve never seen that before, thought it was new, it said something like my sim discovered the other sims romance attraction, can’t remember exactly I’ll have to check my game but there was also a notification about just being friends
@@EnglishSimmerthat means it’s been broken for me and I never noticed lol it’s never happened before. I tried to have a heart breaker sim and she’s been rejected left and right 😂
@sunflowergoddess1203 tbf they only have sexuality set for hsy sims onwards so you might just not have tried to romance many that have specific settings
what about sims with completely opposite compatability and attraction? So they are attracted to people they have bad compatability with, could be interesting
This is what i was worried about. Though my Sims that are opposites are already married, I was worried this system would have my Sims' relationship fall apart. This is an interesting part of romance. I don't know how well opposites attract is successful IRL, but in game, i think it's ok ro let the two opposites get together. It dhould be a bit harder but not 100% impossible. Lovestruck promos had me thinking pack comparability should be part of the promo, but I can't remember another pack I thought this needs to be done. I can see how prompting romance and attraction can be tough even with the 'tell a story' way the trailers do. I don't know how an attraction system can make us play differently.
I would think if you wanted to play an opposites attract story you absolutely could - make an outgoing outdoorsy sim who’s attracted to indoor loners and an indoor loner attracted to outgoing outdoorsy sims. This video didn’t just give them opposite likes/dislikes/traits it also purposely gave them turn-ons and turn-offs that were the opposite of the other sim.
In sims2, I would find my sims partners by how many lightening bolts they had - so you could kinda let your sims pick who they wanted for a partner and I loved that. This is even better. You have a starter sim, you can take them on a date and if they're attracted you'll find out soon enough. (You can decide either way - I want my sims to get together with someone they hate is valid also). Or when your teens are getting ready to start dating (especially if you randomize likes and dislikes etc.), then it will be interesting who they pick. I don't always want to choose their partner. So that totally has me play differently :)
@@saganathasme I remember in ts2, no lightning bolts meant don't bother. It was impossible to have opposites attract. In 4, it's possible to have opposites attract.
It makes sense irl that most romantic relationships start with a good friend dynamic. Or overall basic attraction. Growing together def has the basis to build the romance easier. Ofc, this depends on your sims goal. Do they want a serious commited relationship or sleep around or explore and be adventurous.
I have found in my game that attraction affects compatability heavily, but I wish it didn't. I think it makes sense for compatability to affect attraction, but not for attraction to affect compatability, ya know? Because not every sim is a potential romantic interest (like, for example, family members...)
I know one thing is for sure. With the base game's romantic date, if you get a gold at the end of the date, you get a romantic ice bucket that gives your Sim the +5 Flirty emotion and you can sell it for a whopping 675 simoleans. This lovestruck date, all you get is a couple's photo that only cost you 5 simoleans. Kinda wish they reward you with something like the ice bucket along with the photo. I mean, this is an expansion pack. My expectation will be more of course.
Thought the same while watching the gameplays of lovestruck, i’d have liked to see photos given always (maybe even diff photos poses based on how the date went) and then a real prize for a golden date
The question is - if you will make turn ons for the things that you dislike in the growing together logic - will they build romantic fast, but loose friendship?
I just realized those windows glitching in the distance at the beginning of the video.. I can't believe this new city looks like this.. 🙄. I think the content looks fun otherwise, I really do. But ths weird looking windows are throwing me off... why is EA doing this? I really want to love this new pack 😪
Did u notice that they changed the growing together compatibility icons? what do u think about them? I noticed the other day while playing and idk if i like them honestly😅 they are a lil plain for my taste, i prefer them how they were before, they were more intelligible imo
hi! this might be off topic, but i want to know of sims can gain wohoo skill? because sometime i found my sims gain buff of satisfaction after wohoo? is there anything that make it different?
no there is no woohoo skill. its random what buff they will get from woohoo, but i think it might have something to do with their mood when they woohoo.

@@Kylesimslover I think unfortunately the Spa Day refresh didn't equate to more sales in the way EA had hoped so we probably won't get another one ever again and Maxis will only revamp anything if it sells a new pack the way For Rent did and now I guess technically Growing Together and Lovestruck in some respects. (Also I guess in theory since they finally gave people regular Marriages on top of the Wedding Stories pack version, that would be the big changes that could've come in a refresh.)
Ironically i feel like this pack has deterred simmers from excessive woohooing by making friendly interactions grow connections better & faster than romance interactions. I suppose it's to implement more "realistic" gameplay but i personally was not expecting a love pack to make romancing sims harder... Like at all. I very much expected to be able to woohoo more often & much more easily. Kinda feels like we've been catfished by the sims team 😬 i guess they really want to see us use the friendly activity interactions more? Perhaps they were sat in their lil sims board room thinking how the hell do we get people to play chess, stargaze & shoot hoops together more in the sims? & someone thought, ah yes a sexy time pack where no one actually wants to sexy time, that'll give simmers the opportunity to do friendly interactions w/ other sims! 😅🙄
I feel the opposite actually. I want more time spread out for romance to bloom, for more of a challenge. They definitely should have put in way more woohoo spots and romantic actions though.
@@gameoftomes14 i think it should be more of an option, like pick the love resistant trait or whatever it's called & yes, romance will be harder to raise, if you want the challenge then there's your challenge. But to play with a romantic + lovebug sim & have trouble romancing literally everyone & anyone is actually insane. Even after getting my sim to level 7 charisma, it was in fact, still not enough rizz to get a sim to woohoo using mostly romantic interactions 🤦🏻♀️not every relationship starts out as friends first so that kind of doesn't make sense to apply to all sims. I think the balance should be tweaked severely. Would have been cool if they made it where using cupids corner for a romantic date specifically makes it easier to woohoo with the sim, kinda like tinder is infamously used for hookups? That feels more realistic to me, like the other sim should already know the implications of accepting a romantic date off of a dating app 🤷🏻♀️
@@Kaylamity_slays Ahhh, I see what you mean. Yeah those sorts of relationships exist all the time and to align them one way is just weird. Now I get what you’re talking about.
@@gameoftomes14 it’s just plain lazy. So crazy the difference in CAS + Build/Buy versus gameplay… it’s like the sims team uses all their budget on aesthetics first, gameplay last.
You need to increase the new Romance skill; Charisma affects Relationships but Romance affects Woohoo and how effective Flirting and such is (it actually overrides stuff a bit like specific preferences.) That's what makes things much easier in the videos I've seen so far. Edit: Also one of the other factors is that Sims without any of the new system preferences introduced in Lovestruck makes it harder so for example currently Gallery Sims may actually be worse than dropping Sims in yourself and giving them random preferences or choosing a Townie from the new pack. That will make it harder and is the only true oversight. I mean yes having someone as a polar opposite is worst case scenario but when there's nothing for the attraction system to even recognize the results won't be as good either.

I found out playing that if your sim finds out another sim isn’t interested in romance with them they can’t perform ANY romance actions 😮
what led them to that? the sexuality settings? bc it’s been like that since the intro of them and v much makes sense

Hi Mollie! Have you thought about doing a bachelor/ette challenge 2.0 with Lovestruck? That was one of my favourite LPs! :)
I want to see her do a black widower with a bisexual transman. That is what I am doing with Sherlock Holmes. Do you want her to do this?
This would be so cool

Mentoring sims does the trick, they become bestfriends in no time.
