How to Engage in Polyamorous Relationships in The Sims 4
Love is in the air for fans of The Sims 4 as EA has officially announced the latest expansion pack, “Lovestruck.” Set to launch on July 25, this exciting addition brings new locales, careers, and most notably, the ability to engage in polyamorous relationships. Let’s dive into the details of how to explore this new relationship dynamic in your game.
Welcome to Ciudad Enamorada
The Lovestruck Expansion introduces a new world called “Ciudad Enamorada” or “City in Love.” This picturesque locale comes complete with three lush neighborhoods designed for romantic encounters. Your Sims can stroll through the charming streets of Vista Hermosa, socialize in the residential Plaza Mariposa, or live the high-life in Nuevo Corazón, complete with upscale venues and penthouse suites.
Whether it’s a romantic park, a botanical garden-style café, or an open street area surrounded by flora and fauna, Ciudad Enamorada has no shortage of idyllic spots perfect for love to blossom. Excited yet? You should be!
Creating a Dating Profile on Cupid’s Corner
In a twist that adds a contemporary touch to the game, your Sims can now create their own dating profiles on an in-game app called “Cupid’s Corner.” Much like real-life dating apps, this feature lets you set your Sim’s Turn-Ons and Turn-Offs to help them find a suitable match.
This adds a layer of realism and depth to the dating experience in The Sims 4. Your Sims can navigate the dating scene like a professional Romance Consultant, a new in-game career introduced with this expansion pack.
The Romantic Boundaries Feature
At the core of this update is the new “Romantic Boundaries” feature. This allows you to customize your Sims’ approach to romantic relationships in terms of physical and emotional exclusivity. You can define how Sims engage in relationships, allowing for multiple romantic partners without causing jealousy or conflict, as long as all parties consent.
This feature brings much-desired flexibility to the game, resonating with players who have been clamoring for more inclusive relationship dynamics for years. No more sneaking around or managing jealous Sims—open and honest polyamory is now an achievable goal in your Sims’ love lives.
How to Get Started with Polyamory in The Sims 4
So, how exactly do you engage in polyamorous relationships in the game? Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
- Enable Romantic Boundaries: Go to your Sim’s relationship settings to access the new Romantic Boundaries feature. Customize their preferences for dating multiple Sims.
- Create a Profile on Cupid’s Corner: Set your Sim’s dating preferences, including their Turn-Ons and Turn-Offs, and let them start swiping to find their matches.
- Build Relationships: Once you’ve matched with potential partners, start building relationships by going on dates, flirting, and spending quality time together.

Exploring New Career Paths
Alongside the unique relationship dynamics, the Lovestruck Expansion Pack also introduces the role of a “Romance Consultant.” As part of this new career path, your Sims can help others navigate the intricacies of love and relationships, making it a fulfilling and unique job option.
This addition aims to reflect the complexities and joys of modern relationships, providing new ways for Sims to interact and connect on deeper levels.
