# Love-Centric Simulation Expansions Sim's New Lovestruck Expansion Broadens New Features By Amy Duong | Published 2024-07-04 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lovestruck-expansion References: [engadget](https://www.engadget.com/the-sims-4s-lovestruck-expansion-lets-you-dive-into-a-steamy-polyamory-sandbox-193545470.html)  The latest Lovestruck expansion available on Sims 4 unveils a wide range of activities as it can be purchased in the app for $40. This will comprise an encounter-planning system, turn-ons and offs along with a cheeky singles club to hang out at. The expansion pack will allow players' Sim to head to Ciudad Enamorada. This is described by the developers as “a gorgeous city in love and the perfect place for all of your romantic encounters.” There, players will be met by three neighborhoods where the Sim can meet other people, flirt, and find new romances. Notably, they can even rent a room at "Beso Rapido" for a quick 'WooHoo.' There are no ranges now as the Sim can set up as many dates as they want.
