THE SIMS 4 MY WEDDING STREAKS GAME PACK REVIEW: WEDDED BlISS (PC).
Weddings should be joyful. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing two people marry, especially if it’s in a beautiful ceremony. The Sims 4 has always featured weddings, but the new Game Pack My Wedding Stories takes it to another level. There are more options for how to organize the ceremony. Tortosa is a romantic new world that allows Sims to get married, have their honeymoon, or live happily ever after.
Let’s take a look at the new Game Pack to see if it truly allows your Sims to have the wedding of their dreams.
STORY – A ROMANTIC NEW WORLD
My Wedding Stories doesn’t have a specific storyline. You can create your own stories for your Sims or use pre-made templates. This pack includes a new world with new Sims and their own backstories. You can make their stories your own and decide what happens next.
This romantic-themed Game Pack includes Tartosa, an Italian-inspired coastal town you will quickly fall in love with. You’ll find shops, beaches, and parks. There’s even a cobblestone street. In the distance, there are hot air balloons. Unfortunately, these can’t be flown. Tortosa will be a favorite. This unexpected surprise was a pleasant one. Tortosa will be a place you’ll return to often, just to enjoy its tranquility and beautiful views. This is the place for you if you are looking for a peaceful escape.
Tortosa is the most popular and well-known feature of My Wedding Stories.
Tortosa is home to two families, each with its own stories and beautiful homes. You can also see the happy-married couple of the same sex in the area if you watch the announcement trailer for My Wedding Stories. You can also move Sims to unoccupied lots. These are two empty lots, one of which is on the beach. The other two lots are prebuilt homes. These homes aren’t very expensive. These homes are affordable for even a single starter Sim. You don’t have to worry about starting funds if you are looking to move a Sim or family member into Tortosa.
What about the other lots. The sole vacation lot allows Sims to go on vacation to Tortosa. Tortosa is ideal for hosting weddings. The lounge venue can be used for receptions or bach parties and the venue can also be used as the venue for the ceremony. Tortosa is the ideal addition to this Game Pack.
Tortosa’s properties are beautiful and very affordable.
GAMEPLAY – YOUR WEDDINGS YOUR WAY
My Wedding Stories is obviously a wedding-themed DLC, and gameplay-content-wise, it doesn’t fail to deliver. This DLC really takes weddings up to 11 from The Sims 4 basic game. They are also much more enjoyable to plan.
WEDDING CEREMONIES & EVENTS
It’s time for the ball to start rolling once your Sims are engaged. My Wedding Stories’ beauty is that you have the freedom to do what you like with your Sims’ wedding. You can have them tie the knot with no ceremony. You can get married quickly at Tartosa’s city hall or you can choose to elope anywhere and anytime. There aren’t many events you have to attend. You don’t need to put on an elaborate event. It doesn’t have to be complicated or low-key. You can do any event they offer. You can skip the planning and have only the ceremony. There is no set schedule that you must follow. Your wedding is yours, so your rules.
There are many options available to you if you want to make your wedding more public. You have complete control over the process. It is also flexible. My Wedding Stories offers you more options than ever to create the perfect wedding for your Sims. There are more wedding gowns to choose from. Blushing brides can now carry bouquets of flowers, and throw them. A Sim of Honor, a Sim of Honor, a flower pal, and a ring bearer are all available to you. Sims are passionate about inclusion and catering to all ethnicities. You can now have Chinese and Hindu weddings. There are even items in rainbow colors available for LBGT Sims.
Other than the wedding ceremony, you can have other events.
Multiple wedding-related events can be hosted in addition to the ceremony. This includes rehearsal dinners and beach parties. You can host all of them if you wish, or none at all, depending on what you prefer. You can also choose the activities you want to include in your event for even greater control. You can choose from old and new activities such as giving speeches, making toasts, having a spousal hug, having tea, cutting the cake and doing the first dance. The exchanging of vows is the main event at any wedding. Another great thing about the events is that they don’t have a time limit. You don’t get penalized if you miss any activity. And you can also end the event at any time.
Although planning weddings can be enjoyable, it can be difficult to pull them off, especially if there are multiple Sims involved. Getting your Sims together to perform the ceremony is where things can go wrong. My Wedding Stories allows you to give your guests instructions on how to behave. You can tell your Sims to dance or to gather around the altar. This doesn’t work. Select a command, and nothing happens. Sims don’t respond. This is very disappointing. It is possible to fix this bug in a patch but it shouldn’t be a problem at all. Although it’s not a major problem, it’d be nice if Sims would do what you asked. This is the one thing you should have control over, and it seems you don’t.
Although planning weddings can be fun, it is not easy.
Other issues can also arise. You can’t even cut the wedding cake. Your Sim fails to complete this task every time you try it. This is probably due to routing issues. Your Sim can only eat the cake. The other problem is that you can set a dress code when planning your wedding ceremony. This means that guests can not only change into formal wear but also have the option of wearing a specific color. This doesn’t work because everyone arrives at the wedding dressed appropriately.
But it’s not all bad. My Wedding Stories was created to bring joy to your Sims’ weddings. It’s wonderful to see your Sims get married after all the hard work and planning. Tortosa provides little extras that make preparing for your Sims big day even more memorable. For example, you can pick out a dress in the shop or buy a bouquet from the stall. It’s great to see Sims’ delighted reactions when they accept the role of Sim of Honor or flower pal. Sims can also be invited to walk down the aisle. You can have the bride and her dad walk down the aisle together. Or, send the flower pal down to scatter petals. The ring bearer can proudly wear the ring. It’s the little details that make it extra special.
