A handful of teases and a couple of leaks later, EA has formally unveiled The Sims 4’s new wedding-themed Game Pack with first official details and a frankly adorable new trailer; it’s called My Wedding Stories and launches for PC and consoles next Thursday, 17th February.
The bulk of My Wedding Stories was accurately leaked at the tail-end of last week, but for those of you not perusing Eurogamer late into Friday night, the gist is that it gives players the tools needed to craft a surprisingly comprehensive wedding experience for their Sims – right from the proposal all the way through to vow renewals many years later.
Starting at the beginning, and assuming a Sim says ‘yes’, players will have the option to stage a number of pre-wedding festivities, including the Engagement Party to break the big news to friends and family, the Hen Night/Stag Do, and even the Rehearsal Dinner, complete with toasts, speeches, gifts, food, and dancing.
While all that’s going on, there’s much to be planned for the main event. Players will want to choose a Sim of Honour, establish their Sims’ likes and dislikes, then pick a time and venue for the wedding. To aid in that latter quest, My Wedding Stories introduces a new world known as Tartosa, offering a diverse array of picturesque locales – from coastal village to the forested inland – that house an assortment of venues to suit all tastes, including lavish ballrooms, peaceful gardens, and sunny beaches.
