As players explore the Lovestruck expansion pack in The Sims 4, they will encounter the mysterious Ring Bear, a character shrouded in sadness. To begin the quest, players must locate the Ring Bear, who can usually be found near the pond or river in Vista Hermosa or by the fountain in Plaza Mariposa. Once players engage with the Ring Bear and ask about their sadness, the quest officially begins.
The Ring Bear will reveal that they lost a ring by throwing it into the pond in Vista Hermosa, prompting players to search for the ring by fishing in the pond. Upon retrieving the ring, players must return to the Ring Bear and inquire about the strange markings on the ring, which point towards a fountain in Plaza Mariposa. By searching the fountain for clues, players will uncover more mysteries that lead them to a mural beside the nightclub in Vista Hermosa.
Upon investigating the mural, players will discover that rubbing the ring activates its magical powers, granting Sims a moodlet that boosts their confidence and enhances romantic interactions. Players have the option to either keep the ring for its benefits or sell it for Simoleons, depending on their needs.
To uncover the Ring Bear’s true identity, players must continue to question them about why they wear a bear costume. Through persistent interactions, the Ring Bear, revealed to be Sammy García, will disclose their past heartbreak and the significance of the bear costume as a source of comfort. After a heartfelt conversation, Sammy will finally remove the bear costume, allowing players to see the person behind the mysterious character.
Completing the Ring Bear quest not only rewards players with unique benefits but also unravels a touching story of love and loss. The quest serves as a reminder that everyone has their own struggles and coping mechanisms, adding depth to the immersive world of The Sims 4.
