Developer Maxis and publisher Electronic Arts (EA) have revealed the next piece of downloadable content (DLC) for The Sims 4 and it focuses on all things romance.

How Sims navigate their relationships has also been overhauled thanks to the addition of an attraction system that balances Turn-Ons and Turn-Offs.
