The most significant update to Sims 4 is that players will get a free update that allows Sims to engage in polyamory. Gone are the days when you must search for mods to combat jealousy for your Sims.
According to the official Sims blog, “Free for all players is the new Romantic Boundaries system that will allow you to customize your Sim’s experience with boundaries and jealousy. You can now define how your Sims approach romantic relationships in terms of physical and emotional romantic exclusivity, which allows Sims to date multiple Sims without impacting other relationships.”

While adding polyamory is a first for Sims 4, representation in the game has been improving for some time. In 2016, EA allowed users to customize their gender. Three years later, Sims 4 launched the “It Gets Better” project, which gave access to pride-themed content. Two years ago, gamers could change Sims’ sexual orientation and add their pronouns.

The pack will also include Ciudad Enamorada, a new neighborhood full of romantic adventures. “Your Sims will be able to hunt for the best spot to try the romantic blanket in the city’s gardens, dance until morning at their favorite nightclub, or even experience the beautiful simplicity of sitting together to watch the stars,” EA states. Within the city, two other neighborhoods include Vista Hermosa and Plaza Mariposa for all your Sim’s romantic desires.
