The Sims 4 announces next expansion – and it has a Love Island twist

In a fresh twist, The Sims 4 has unveiled a captivating expansion pack with a holiday resort theme, allowing players to construct their very own reality TV-style competition reminiscent of “Love Island“.

Prepare for an exhilarating journey as I eagerly anticipate the upcoming expansion to my cherished life-simulation game, slated for launch on October 2nd, enriching my gaming experience across platforms including PC, Mac, PlayStation, and Xbox.

In the newly christened location, Gibbi Point, there are three options for relaxation spots, but players are also welcome to design their very own personal spaces.

What to Read Next

At Camp Gibbi Gibbi, grown-up Sims take on roles as park rangers or camp counselors in an exciting kids’ camp setting. On the other hand, Revive & Thrive Retreat provides Sims a tranquil environment for relaxation and rejuvenation, coupled with first-class fitness amenities.

The third escape spot at Gibbi Point is called Love Highland, a charming and snug hideaway nestled amidst nature, complete with a luxurious hot tub for added romance.

At these locations, you can also seize the opportunity to tackle fresh challenges and showcase a competitive spirit. For instance, you could arrange fitness competitions at Revive & Thrive, encouraging Sims to compete by using spin bikes or weightlifting equipment.

It appears that the opportunity exists for a romantic competition to take place, as suggested in the trailer for the latest expansion. At the Love Highland retreat, multiple Sims are shown arriving as competitors, engaging in flirtatious interactions, and eventually pairing up.

We then see a male Sim being eliminated from the competition after he finds himself single.

In this case, the modifier for the challenge is ‘Romantic Competition Elimination’, however, the trailer also offers alternatives such as ‘Elimination based on Player Choice’, ‘Contest Elimination for Creative Skills’, and ‘Cooking Competition’. As a result, you could potentially create versions of The Great British Bake Off and Big Brother too.

As a devoted player, I’m thrilled to explore a wealth of fresh experiences! Dive into the world of Papercraft, Entomology, Diving, and Archery – each offering unique challenges that I can conquer. My Sims can now enjoy diving boards, waterslides, and even go kayaking, along with working out using spin bikes and weights. For our younger Sims, the fun doesn’t stop there! They can create imaginary friends to play with, engage in hide-and-seek, and challenge each other at rock, paper, scissors. What an exciting time to be a part of this virtual community!

About a month remains until the expansion pack is released, however, the developers are planning to provide an in-depth look at the gameplay later this month.

This year’s third expansion, titled “Adventure Awaits,” follows the release of “Businesses & Hobbies” in March and “Enchanted by Nature” in July.

The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits is out on 2 October on PC, Mac, PlayStation, and Xbox.
