Developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts in 2000, The Sims quickly became one of the best-selling videogame series. With the upcoming DLC for The Sims 4, players will have further options to simulate more diversified stories for their Sims, this time including features for love stories on a more extensive scale than before available in The Sims 4.
The Sims 4 focused on improving character-creation and house-building tools, alongside a far more extensive simulation with new emotion and trait systems. After launch, The Sims 4 released many paid downloadable content packs, such as 11 expansion packs, 10 game packs, 18 stuff packs, and 10 kits. The recent leak revealed details on the upcoming DLC of The Sims 4, which has now officially been confirmed and revealed as The Sims 4: My Wedding Stories.
The Sims series aim for players to have limitless freedom for strategic simulation, where they decide the objectives of their gameplay. Each downloadable content offers from a minimum of a new set of furniture to a maximum of a new city. In the official announcement of The Sims 4: My Wedding Stories it is stated that the games are committed to providing meaningful content, representing players’ lives in an authentic way.
From what is shown in the trailer, it can be expected that the new DLC brings a new city, furniture, clothing, and traits for mastering players’ characters’ lives in The Sims 4 revolving around love and marriage. The DLC will also add new festivals to celebrate players' simulated love stories, such as Engagement Parties, Bach Parties, and Rehearsal Dinners, which is accompanied by new options of toasts, speeches, foods, gifts, and dancing, as well as an option to choose the Sim of Honor.
The trailer also explores a new map called Tartosa, allowing players to have adventures in coastal villages or forested inlands. The Maxis team has partnered up with community creators of different backgrounds to create an area that authentically represents love's diversity, even if the character wants to become a mermaid in The Sims 4. Further details of the upcoming DLC will be revealed on February 11.
As stated in the announcement, the DLC would like to celebrate the players’ freedom to explore different options of celebrating and building their Sim’s unique love stories. All of these new options will open more possibilities when the DLC is released on February 17.
The Sims 4 is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
