Many new Build and Buy items arrive withThe Sims 4 Lovestruck. The main goal of the expansion pack is to find new romance, both for short-term excitement and even long-lasting marriages. Many items can help in this regard, improving certain Skills or boosting the mood of Sims. Other objects are purely aesthetic, and it is up to the individual to decide if they are worth using in the current lot.
Building a home residence lot can get pricey inThe Sims 4. If you are starting a new household, considerusing cheat codesfor more money or items. This way, you may quickly design your own personal dream lot. Another option is to specifically make a public lot, like aLoungeorPark. Using Build/Buy Mode on these locations is completely free, and anyone can visit. The only downside is a lack of privacy, making it easy for neighbors to watch your romantic pursuits.

The Sims 4 gets a lot of attention, and The Sims 5 feels far away, but there’s still a spinoff that deserves a revamp, possibly starting a new series.
New Build and Buy Mode Options
Quickly Build Up Romance With Key Objects
The purchasable items inThe Sims 4 Lovestruckfocus on romance and affection. Still, when not on a date, you need to consider whether they are also suited for everyday living.

Additionally, some interactions still rely on the phone instead of Build/Buy Mode. This includes theCupid’s Cornerdating app, which evenpulls from the online Gallery for chaotic results.
