The Sims 4 has unveiled a gameplay trailer for a brand-new game pack called My Wedding Stories. It showcases Tartosa, a romantic new world, as well as several ways to celebrate your special day. We even see a glimpse of the return of slow dancing, a much-missed feature of past games. This is the first major DLC pack since Cottage Living back in July 2021, with the last five releases being kits focusing on adding clothing or decor items to the game. Simmers are truly ready to celebrate the wedding season.
The trailer sets the scene for drama as we see Camille beginning to prepare for her wedding. When the big day arrives Camille makes a life-changing decision when she chooses to call off the ceremony when she realizes that she's in love with her best friend Dominique. You can watch the drama unfold in the gameplay trailer.
The game pack brings us Tartosa, a new world said to contain breathtaking scenery including beaches, gardens, waterfalls, and stunning sunsets. Here you'll be able to choose the perfect venue for your wedding. The ability to get married is currently in the game, but the feature is very basic. This pack looks set to expand that hugely in order to truly reflect real-life experiences.
Players will be in control from their engagement to their honeymoon. You can select a ring, plan your proposal, throw an engagement party, and set a date. Prior to the big day, Sims can go on Bach parties, and even have a rehearsal dinner. The ceremony itself will also be customizable with options for clothing, flowers, toasts, speeches, food, cake, gifts, and dancing. Sims can even choose a Sim of Honor, and if they want to walk down the aisle alone or accompanied.
Tartosa's locations include a coastal village, a forest, and some beautiful gardens. As you plan your day you can also use features such as the ability to host a Family Gathering, a customary tea ceremony that is part of Chinese weddings. Vows will be exchanged, wedding certificates signed, and kisses made before the wedding reception. The return of slow dancing, and dances between children and adults are a nice touch which will be accompanied by a bouquet toss, cake cutting, and some line dancing.
There will be a deep-dive reveal of the pack on February 11, 2022, at 11AM PT on TheSims Twitch channel. The Sims 4 My Wedding Stories will be available on February 17, 2022, on PC and Mac via Origin and Steam, PlayStation5, PlayStation4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
