'The Sims 4 Romantic Garden Stuff' arrives Feb. 9. The Sims

The Sims 4 Romantic Garden Stuff is set to drop Feb. 9. Do you love Springtime and being outdoors? This DLC pack features Victorian themed botanical gardens, epic fountains, a wishing well (possibly TS3 evil children?), and flowery outfits perfect for a romantic stroll through the park.

As far as gameplay, the Fountain of Gluteus Maximus and the Whispering Wishing Well are the focal points of this Stuff pack. Sit along the fountain’s edge to cuddle and flirt by gently splashing water on your lover. If your Sim is feeling whimsical, they may want to get wet, play around and splash a friend. Mischievous Sims may not be able to resist adding soap to the fountain and watching it fill will bubbles. With a single Simoleon, bestow your deepest hopes and desires upon the Whispering Wishing Well. SimGuruDrake reports there are over fifty different outcomes that may alter your Sim’s life forever, whether it be good or bad. SimGuruGraham later clarified via Twitter there are 9 different wishes with 54 outcomes, 6 outcomes per wish. The 9 wishes are: Romance, Happiness, Wealth, Life, Youthful Vigor, Grades, Promotion, Child, and a Skill.

Romantic Garden Stuff also comes with a brand-new park venue, The Lost Gardens of Healing. “As they stroll the park’s grounds they’ll be serenaded by the new Baroque radio station, which includes a lovely melody of music inspired by the 1600s to set the mood,” SimGuruDrake reports. The previewed landscape would be a perfect place for a date, marriage proposal, or wedding.

SimGuru Twitter Q&A:

Can Sims die from the Whispering Wishing Well?

@KitOnlyHuman I don't wanna give away all the secrets! Let's just say there are plenty of ways to torture your Sims with it. It's my new fav

@LuckyLunayre There isn't a new type of death, but Sims can be pushed right to the edge of death (and over!) Beware the reaper.

Will there be an evil child wishing well outcome like The Sims 3?

Any new trees or water plants included?

.@thesimplynando Not in this one. We focused on flowers and shrubbery, in addition to Victorian style objects that you'd expect in a park.

How exactly can the fountain resurrect ghost Sims?

.@Deligracy Ghost Sims can choose to wish for life for as little as §1. How & if that wish gets granted though is another thing entirely...

What can teen Sims wish for?

.@Squikkette Teens can wish for both grades and a promotion, as they have the unique ability to attend school and hold a part time job.
