Popular life simulation game "Sims 4" is getting an update.
This Valentine's Day-themed update will be launching on Feb. 6, just in time for the holiday. Titled the Romantic Garden update, it involves Valentine-themed events and items. A trailer regarding the upcoming update was uploaded on PlayStation's YouTube channel on Feb. 1.
Around 55 seconds long, the trailer showcases Victorian-styled gardens, weddings, celebrations, and a handful of Sims sitting in romantically decorated gardens. Decor and items aside, the new update will reportedly include new outfits and new gameplay for players to test out.
Players can deck their own houses with Valentine-themed items, or send their Sim on a date with the boy or girl next door. The Sims can then engage in romantic activities with one another such as attending wedding-like celebrations and snuggling on a bench in flower-filled gardens.
According to PlayStation Lifestyle, this is what the update is all about:
"The Sims 4 Romantic Garden Stuff Pack has a mixture of flowery flora and marble furnishings that enable you to build new styles of parks, or to revitalize your home's yard. Do you prefer a manicured lawn with trimmed rose bushes and flowers entwined around a wooden trellis? Perhaps instead you want to create your own Victorian inspired botanical gardens, replete with spitting lion fountains and stately Doric columns? All of these items and more empower you to create lush landscapes for romantic moments like dates, proposals, and weddings -- or simply to enjoy a lovely afternoon outdoors."
The update is a call-back of sorts to Greek and Victorian architecture, and alongside the map updates are action-related updates for the Sims as well. According to EA, Sims will be able to splash water on each other if they are sitting by the fountain's edge.
"Sims" is a life simulation game that was originally released in 2000.
