After a decade of extorting their player base with overpriced expansion packs that add minimal content, and progressive updates introducing same-sex relationships, Electronic Arts has taken it a step further. To conclude this year’s Pride Month, EA is introducing polyamory as a free game update.
Coinciding with The Sims 4’s “Lovestruck” expansion pack, a $40 add-on focused on romance, EA is now giving players the ability to engage in cuckolding within the game.
The Lovestruck Expansion, marketed with some of the most progressive and diverse characters imaginable, introduces a dating app to the game. This app includes “turn-ons” and “turn-offs,” allowing for various romantic relationship dynamics.
Over the years, EA has remained committed to diversity and inclusivity by introducing options in The Sims 4 that enable players to define their characters’ sexual orientations, including asexual, gay, bi, and more, rather than releasing a sequel. This gives players full control over what types of characters their Sims are sexually attracted to, if any.

You can even choose custom pronouns.
And now, The Sims 4 will feature polyamory, which is the practice of engaging with multiple sexual partners simultaneously with the knowledge and consent of all parties involved. Journalists proclaim this as a long-awaited feature, but this is far from the truth.
No self-respecting man would ever condone or tolerate acts of polyamory or cuckoldry, allowing their romantic partner to freely engage with others. Even the most sex-crazed porn addicts have an aversion to something as counterproductive to biological survival as cuckoldry.

For instance, Western mainstream media outlets were ecstatic to report on a “wholesome” polyamorous relationship in 2019 involving one woman and her four partners after she became pregnant by one of them.
However, in such an unsustainable and regressive environment, one of her four partners, who was not the father yet was raising the baby as his own alongside the others, was charged with aggravated child abuse.

In a dev post glossing over the romantic expansion pack, it was announced that you can now define your Sims as being openly sexual. Only in a fictional game can a polyamorous relationship be feasible without the open “relationship” imploding due to physical abuse. The inclusion of this feature, along with other progressive additions, speaks volumes about the type of player who continues to engage with The Sims 4 after all these years.
With Paradox’s progressive and ugly “Life by You” being canceled and its developers laid off, all eyes are now on Korea and their upcoming release of InZOI to put EA’s benign bullshit out of its misery.
