Cupid's Corner Dating App - The Sims 4 Guide - IGN (2024)

Cupid's Corner is a new dating app added in The Sims 4 Lovestruck Expansion Pack. It allows your Sim to go on blind dates, set up a dating profile, look through matches, and set up dates with Sims they're interested in.

This page teaches you everything you need to know about Cupid's Corner in The Sims 4 Lovestruck, including how to use the app, how to set your dating profile, how to find matches, and more.

Cupid's Corner Overview

To access Cupid's Corner in The Sims 4 Lovestruck, click on the phone icon on the hotbar in the bottom-left and select the pink Cupid's Corner application. You'll be met with the following options before even launching the full app:

• Open Cupid's Corner
• Go on Blind Date
• Go to Cupid's Counselling with...
• Deactivate Cupid's Corner
• Cupid's Dating Guide

Go on Blind Date

The "Go on Blind Date" option does exactly what it says and sets your Sim up with a random Sim to go on a date with. It doesn't take your Sim's Turn-Ons and Turn-Offs into account, so you could be matched with someone they really get along with, or someone they don't. That's the fun of it!

Once you select this option, the Event panel will open and you'll need to set up a Blind Date Social Event by choosing your invited Sims (leave this as is if you just want to go with your date), at least three Activities, and a location.

Once you're at your date location, you have a set time limit to interact with your blind date, though it can be expanded by selecting the "Ask to Extend Date" option - but only if they're interested! Like other date types, you'll have a series of goals to complete based on the Activities you chose when setting up the Blind Date.

Hopefully, all goes well and your Sim will have a new romantic partner, or simply a friend, in their life. But if you end up disliking them, you can always leave early, so there's no pressure.

Go to Cupid's Counselling With...

Once your Sim has a romantic partner in The Sims 4 Lovestruck, it's up to you to decide how that relationship plays out. If things start to turn sour (due to Romantic Boundaries being crossed, for example), you can get a little bit of assistance with Cupid's Counselling by selecting the "Go to Cupid's Counselling With [partner's name] option. It costs $1,000 and can be done once per week with a romantic partner.

Once you've opted to go to Cupid's Counselling, your Sim and their partner will travel to their counsellor and you'll get a set of question pop-ups to answer, such as how your Sim and their partner is feeling and what they're having trouble with in their relationship, including Attraction, Romantic Satisfaction, Romance Dynamics, and Romantic Relationship.

Near the end of the session, you can select a goal for the next one, such in increased Attraction level and going on more dates.

Deactivate Cupid's Corner

Selecting the "Deactivate Cupid's Corner" app removes the full Cupid's Corner dating panel from your phone options. If your Sim is in a monogamous relationship or simply feels satisfied with their current romantic situation and isn't looking for more, you can choose to deactivate their profile.

If things change and you want to reactivate their dating profile, select the "Activate Cupid's Corner" option.

Cupid's Dating Guide

The final phone option is the Cupid's Dating Guide. This opens up the Lessons panel, which teaches you about mechanics in The Sims 4 Lovestruck, such as Turn-Ons and Turn-Offs, the Romance Skill, and the Romance Consultant Career.

You can also view tutorials for other expansions here.

Cupid's Corner App

Selecting the "Open Cupid's Corner" option on your Sim's phone will open up the Cupid's Corner panel in The Sims 4 Lovestruck. This is where you can set your Sim's dating interests, browse matches, and set up dates with Sims you're interested in. You'll find the following three tabs on the Cupid's Corner panel:

• My Bio
• Matches
• Saved

My Bio

The My Bio tab is where you can your Sim's dating profile. You can add a selfie, set their sexual orientation by choosing which genders they're romantically interested in and interested in WooHoo'ing with, which age range they're looking for, and pick two of their Traits to display.

To change your Sim's selfie, click on the camera icon to the right of your Sim's name to bring up the camera. There are several options here, such as changing their pose, enabling the flash, and adding a filter. Click on the camera icon once you're happy with the way your Sim looks to snap a selfie.

If your Sim's Photography Skill is too low, a gnome may appear in your Sim's selfie (we kept it in ours for some flair, because why not).

Matches

The Matches tab is where you can sort through seven potential matches for your Sim based on their sexual orientation and age range set in the My Bio tab. You'll see their dating profiles, including their name, a selfie, age, the World they live in, and two Traits. If you've set Turn-On and Turn-Offs for your Sim, you'll see whether your Sim is attracted or turned off to that Sim's Traits.

If you're interested in a match, click the heart icon at the bottom of their profile to move them to the Saved tab. If you're not interested in any of the seven potential matches displayed, you can click on "Refresh Matches" once every 12 hours to gain seven new ones.

Saved

The Saved tab is where Sims you've saved from the Matches tab appear. Here, you can Add to Contacts so your Sim can contact them later, Ask to Create a Date, or remove them from the list by clicking on the trash can icon.

You can have up to 15 Sims saved in your Saved tab at one time, and you can interact with up to three per day (Add to Contacts and Ask to Create Date).
