Bringing romance back to The Sims 4!
The Sims Team released their first roadmap of 2022 for content planned for The Sims 4. The roadmap includes releases planned for the next 3 months – up until the end of March this year.
One of the highlights from the roadmap is a Game Pack that suggests you’ll be able to “throw a party for love”. In case this isn’t a hint already for a Weddings / Dating Game Pack the roadmap also came with significant teasers within the confetti.
Take a closer look at the marriage rings and wedding cake icons below:
So, what could the new Wedding Game Pack include? We had an initial vision from The Sims Team shared all the way back in Spring 2017.
Throughout the release of numerous official Pack Surveys and suggested themes, one of the suggested Game Packs were The Sims 4 Love Life.
Check out The Sims Team’s initial vision for this potential Game Pack:
Sims interested in matters of the heart are going to be pleased with The Sims 4 Love Life. Go on a variety of romantic dates at all-new locations or be the matchmaker for your friends. Experience wedding fun (and drama) from asking parents for permission to enjoying the honeymoon.
- Go on Dates – Have your first dates, blind dates, or group date at a variety of new locations from the Lovers’ Garden to the Moonlit Cafe complete with private concert stage.
- Be a Matchmaker – Practice your matchmaking skills by setting your Sims up on dates, give romantic advice, and navigate the dating drama as a matchmaker.
- Throw a Wedding – Weddings are bigger than ever. Ask Sims’ parents for permission to marry, experience bachelor or bachelorette party fun, even plan the details of your big day.

Of course this proposed survey dates back from a few years ago, so some visions from the proposed key features could have been changed since then considering its only a survey proposal.
If we gather all the evidence and hints its almost certain that the next Sims 4 Game Pack is about Weddings / Dating. How will The Sims Team execute this idea? We’ll just have to wait and see!
i'm sorry but why would they make a PAID PACK out of this? shouldn't it be part of the base game? i know i'm not the only one thinking how ridiculous it is that every game "update" by maxis is essentially a paid pack. right?and then people complain when someone pirates the game. like, seriously, get real.
... that said, i'd probably still pay for this one too. just like literally every other pack. very unhappily so.
If it’s not something you want then why are you getting that pack(s)? I still haven’t brought the star wars pack because it’s just not something I would want especially with how limited the world is. Because it’s so niche that is a pack I felt should’ve been free or discounted compared to release prices for GPs.
I agree with the fact that it should most indefinitely be free. Dating is a core part of The Sims 4 gameplay. And shouldn’t be monetized.
Well, it could easily be monetized from a business standpoint by combining much loved and missed features from generations which are in high enough demand to generate sales if they revolve around family gameplay to a limited capacity or maybe squeezing in a Wedding Planner-esque Active or freelance career with a few fancy wedding outfits and a more feature full version of the wedding event for example, like picking guest attire as you would for employees from ownable businesses Just saying. All they gotta do to make it sellable is take basic core features and give em a pretty ribbon. **glances at the grocery System requiring cottage living and decor preferences being locked in Dream Home Decorator**
because it is something i would want, if it became available.i got the sw pack. i both regret it and don't at the same time xD it was a neat little mini-adventure, but i just wish it was more intrinsically involved into the rest of gameplay. it just feels like my sim had a dream. a very trippy dream, entirely not worth the cost that was paid for it.
Okay but how about an EP? AND WHY DO WE NEED MORE KITS?!
YES, ALL THE KITS
Kits are doing their job, filling a void we’d have otherwise with content
TY .. I for one am pretty excited!!
