Ah, The Sims 4. The game where you can live out your wildest dreams, like becoming an astronaut, befriending a ghost, or—let’s be honest—finding increasingly absurd places for your Sims to WooHoo. While the classic bed WooHoo is reliable, it lacks a certain… flair. It’s the vanilla ice cream of romantic encounters. We’re here for the rocky road with hot fudge and sprinkles.
For years, Simmers have been on a quest to explore every nook and cranny the game developers have blessed with a “WooHoo” interaction. But not all spontaneous romantic locations are created equal. Some are just plain impractical, leaving your Sims exhausted, embarrassed, or at risk of being abducted by aliens mid-coitus. So, let’s grab our Plumbobs and rank the best WooHoo locations in The Sims 4, not by how scandalous they are, but by how practical they are for your everyday, pixelated couple.
Let’s kick things off with a classic. The Backyard Observatory isn’t just for nerdy Sims who want to “Search for the Truth.” It’s also a surprisingly romantic and practical spot. It’s private, it’s right there in your backyard, and honestly, what’s more romantic than doing the deed under the cosmos? Plus, there’s a certain poetry to WooHooing in the same place you might discover a new planet. The only real downside is the cost. At 1,500 Simoleons, it’s not exactly a budget-friendly option for a new couple living in a starter home with mismatched furniture. But for seasoned Sims, it’s a solid investment in both their hobbies and their love life.
If the observatory is a gentle celestial dance, the Rocket Ship is a full-blown interstellar explosion of passion. Building a rocket is a commitment, requiring time, money, and a high level of the Rocket Science skill. But the payoff? Glorious. Your Sims get to join the “Mile High Club” (or, you know, the “Hundred-Mile High Club”) and emerge with a Confident moodlet. It’s the ultimate power move. The impracticality comes from the sheer effort involved. You can’t just decide to WooHoo in a rocket ship on a whim unless you’re some kind of Sim-Elon Musk. It’s a planned, monumental event. Still, for bragging rights alone, it’s top-tier.
A staple since The Sims: Hot Date, the hot tub WooHoo is iconic. It’s romantic, relaxing, and available with multiple expansion packs. What’s not to love? Well, the practicality takes a slight hit when you consider the potential for public embarrassment. Placing a hot tub in your backyard is fine, but if you’re at a public spa or a friend’s party, things can get awkward. Imagine trying to get frisky while Judith Ward is judging your cannonball skills from across the deck. Privacy is key here. Also, there’s the whole “human soup” aspect of a public hot tub, but our Sims don’t seem to mind.
Introduced in Get Together, this unassuming piece of foliage is a game-changer for outdoorsy—or just plain desperate—Sims. Need a quick bathroom break during a rave in Windenburg? Bush. Need a nap? Bush. Need a place for a clandestine romantic rendezvous? You guessed it: Bush. The sheer versatility is what makes it so great. It’s free (if you find one in the wild) and requires zero prep. However, it’s also risky. Getting caught by a horrified passerby is a real possibility, leading to a majorly Embarrassed moodlet. It’s the go-to for chaotic Sims who live life on the edge, but maybe not for your prim and proper legacy founder.
For the goths, the vamps, and the generally spooky Sims among us, the coffin from the Vampires game pack is the ultimate romantic destination. It’s dark, it’s dramatic, and it’s peak supernatural romance. The best part? It’s incredibly practical… for a vampire. It’s their bed, after all. Why wouldn’t they use it for other nocturnal activities? For non-vampires, it’s a bit of a head-scratcher. Convincing your mortal beloved to get intimate in a box usually reserved for the deceased might be a tough sell. But hey, if you can make it work, you’ve achieved a level of romantic weirdness that most Sims can only dream of.
Yes, you read that right. With the Eco Lifestyle expansion, your Sims can WooHoo in a dumpster. Why? I don’t know. Maybe they’re really, really into recycling. From a practical standpoint, this is an absolute disaster. It’s smelly, it’s public, and your Sims come out with a “Questionable Smell” moodlet. There is absolutely no universe in which this is a good idea. It ranks dead last for practicality, but first for sheer, unadulterated chaos. If your goal is to create the messiest Sim story imaginable, then by all means, let them find love amongst the trash. You magnificent weirdo.
