The Sims 4 Lovestruck: A Ghostly Twist on 90s Romance
The Sims 4 is still developing, and the latest Lovestruck expansion has added fascinating new features to the game's romantic universe. But the romance isn't just being brought about by the growth. A recent update for The Sims 4 added capabilities that let users experience a timeless—and perhaps strange—event from 90s popular culture: a paranormal romance.
Ghost Stories: Courting the Dead in The Sims 4
Since 2014, The Sims 4 has let users take control of Ghost Sims, giving them access to all the normal Sim activities, including romantic relationships. But up until recently, using the Relationship Panel to set up a date with a ghost Sim was difficult for gamers. That has changed with this upgrade, which makes recreating a well-known paranormal romance from the 1990s simpler than before.
The "Ghost" Factor: Revival of a Classic
Although the Twilight sensation brought the idea of paranormal romance to a wider audience in the 2000s, the concept has been around for decades. A number of well-known paranormal romance movies were released in the 1990s, but "Ghost," starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore, stands out. The pottery sequence in this movie is one of the reasons it's still remembered. Thanks to a recent patch, Sims 4 users can now more easily recreate a comparable romance with a Ghostly spouse, though they'll still need a little extra assistance to fully duplicate the most memorable scenario.
The Sims 4's "Ghost" Scene Modification: Pottery
It's interesting to note that although The Sims 4 lets users partake in peculiar hobbies like courting ghosts, it can't do relatively ordinary tasks like pottery. The Sims 4 has not yet received official support for this feature, which was present in The Sims 2: FreeTime. Fortunately, user-generated custom content makes it possible for players who are keen to accurately reproduce the famous "Ghost" moment.
a mod made by Mod The pottery wheel that MiraiMayonaka adds to The Sims is practical. The pottery talent, which has ten levels and lets users create their own pottery, is also included in this mod. Like the writing or painting abilities from the main game, the custom talent allows players to sell their ceramics for cash, making it a respectable source of revenue. Right now, the mod offers the closest simulation of the famous "Ghost" scene to players' imagination, even though it doesn't allow two Sims to produce sensual pottery together. Players can, of course, get inventive and attempt to recreate the original situation as precisely as they can.
Beyond "Ghost": Extending The Sims 4's Paranormal Romance
"Ghost" is hardly the only Paranormal Romance movie from the 1990s, and there are plenty of options in The Sims 4 to recreate other decade favorites. If they also have the Castle Estate Kit, the Sims 4: Vampires game pack enables players to reenact well-known movies like "Interview with the Vampire" or even "Bram Stoker's Dracula." Because The Sims 4 lets you date the Grim Reaper, users can repeat the engrossing tale of "Meet Joe Black."
Fans of romantic films have a plethora of opportunities to rewatch some of their favorite films from the genre within The Sims 4 Lovestruck, which adds even more romance options to the game. For those players who would rather not shell out cash for DLC, there are lots of mods such as WickedWhims that provide more alternatives when it comes to romance. In any case, a multitude of tools are available in The Sims 4 to help recreate special scenes from well-known films.
