The Sims 4 Lovestruck expansion looks good, but the free base game update accompanying it looks even better

It's an exciting time for The Sims 4 - not only is the Lovestruck expansion pack coming soon, but a free base game update containing some of our most highly requested features is, too.

As EA's spiciest expansion pack yet approaches, we Simmers have a lot to look forward to. If vibrating heart-shaped beds aren't your thing, perhaps a virtual Tinder-like dating app is - or, like me, you may be most excited for content coming in the free base game update alongside the DLC rather than what's included within the expansion pack itself. For instance, The Sims 4 is finally getting its long-requested polyamory feature - which we now know much more about.
