The Sims 4 is currently in its Season of Love, and only recently has the latest Expansion Pack, Lovestruck, been released. To coincidence with this romance-themed pack and the theme of the season, a new bundle has been released for The Sims 4, given the title of Love & Family. This bundle contains 3 packs: The Sims 4 Growing Together Expansion Pack, The Sims 4 My Wedding Stories Game Pack, and The Sims 4 Parenthood Game Pack. At the moment, you can get it at a reduced price (at least on PC through the EA App). The Sims 4 Love & Family Bundle is now available for PC via Steam and EA App, Origin via Mac, PlayStation 4 | 5, Xbox One | Xbox Series X/S, and Epic Games Store.
What’s Included With the Love & Family Bundle?
As with all The Sims 4 bundles, Love & Family comes with 3 previously-released packs: The Sims 4 Growing Together Expansion Pack, The Sims 4 My Wedding Stories Game Pack, and The Sims 4 Parenthood Game Pack. Growing Together and Parenthood provides the family theme, while My Wedding Stories adds in some romance. This bundle is ideal with the release of The Sims 4 Lovestruck Expansion. If you’re unfamiliar with these packs, here’s a quick summary of each one:
The Sims 4 Growing Together Expansion Pack: This pack not only enhances family-centered gameplay, but also your Sims as individuals as they grow up and evolve. With Growing Together, you can expect gameplay such as Milestones, Baby Showers, Family Reunions, Family Dynamics, Self-Discovery, Midlife Crises, and Sleepovers. Growing Together comes with a new American suburban world called San Sequoia. New objects you can check out include a treehouse, water park splash pads, and a selection of bikes for kids and adults.

The Sims 4 My Wedding Stories Game Pack: If you love weddings, you’ll love this Game Pack, which allows you to plan every detail in your Sims’ weddings. You can organize events such as Engagement Parties and Bachelor Parties, and even Wedding Rehearsals. There’s a ton of wedding-themed gameplay and objects, such as wedding cakes, bouquets, toasting champagne, slow dancing, and new wedding arches. Don’t forget the new selection of outfits to give your Sims that perfect wedding look, no matter their role. Plus, it all comes with the beautiful world of Tartosa. We have also reviewed The Sims 4 My Wedding Stories if you want to learn more and see our take on it.
The Sims 4 Parenthood Game Pack: Parenthood can almost be seen as the precursor to Growing Together, although perhaps not on as big a scale (since it is a Game Pack and not an Expansion). Parenthood offers plenty of family-oriented gameplay, including the new Parenting skill, setting curfews for children and teens, the ability to discipline them with groundings, encouraging good behaviour, childhood phases, and completing school projects.
