Sims 4: Fresh Content Arrives in April 2025!
The Sims 4 is gearing up to offer players even more ways to enhance their virtual lives with the release of new kits in April 2025. These additions, focusing on everyday experiences, will provide fresh gameplay options for both seasoned Simmers and newcomers alike. Get ready to embrace the chaos, creativity, and golden years of your Sims' lives!
Restoration Workshop: Embrace Your Inner Fixer EA has announced the arrival of the Restoration Workshop Kit, allowing Sims to get their hands dirty repairing various household appliances. This kit lets your Sims revive broken coffee makers, stoves, and microwaves using their Handiness skill. Not only will this improve their skills, but it will also allow them to continue enjoying their favorite items. Danny Kovacs, the Game Designer for this Kit, drew inspiration from his childhood experiences in home workshops. He envisions players using the kit to tell stories of restoration and craftsmanship. "I find the combination of clutter and utility objects gives the perfect creative atmosphere for your Sim when pondering a next project," says Kovacs.
This kit includes a variety of furniture pieces to build a personalized workshop. Expect to find modular shelves overflowing with tools and workbenches covered in a layer of dust, as well as functional items like water heaters and fuse boxes. While the base game allows Sims to repair appliances, this kit provides specific tools and a more immersive experience. The gritty details, like the layer of dust, add an authentic touch to the crafting experience. This kit could even complement the Businesses and Hobbies expansion pack, allowing players to create a repair-focused business.
Kitchen Clutter: Capturing the Heart of the Home The Kitchen Clutter Kit aims to bring the heart of a lived-in kitchen to your Sim's home. The kitchen is often the center of family life, and this kit will reflect that with a touch of chaos. Currently, Sims 4 kitchens can feel a bit too pristine. While dirty dishes might appear, the game doesn't fully capture the essence of a truly lived-in space. Many cosmetic kitchen items also lack functionality. This kit changes that, introducing stacks of dishes, scattered grocery bags, and food containers on the counters. Refrigerators will be adorned with magnets, notes, and artwork.
The Kitchen Clutter Kit isn't just about aesthetics; many items will have actual functions. Sims can grab a cookie from the cookie jar, pack food in a lunchbox, and purchase ingredients from grocery bags. The kit promises to display every telltale sign of a busy family, but this also means more messes for your Sims to clean up!
The Golden Years: Celebrating Elder Sims The Golden Years Kit focuses on celebrating the elder generation of Sims. These Sims have worked hard and are now ready to enjoy their retirement. Previous expansions have focused on family relationships, but this kit shines a spotlight on elderly Sims. Their personalities and styles have evolved throughout their lives, and this kit allows them to express their individuality. Players can expect comfortable clothing tailored to their life stage and activities, such as gardening or exercising. More accessories are also on the way, including glasses with eyewear retainers, gardening gloves, and even toupees. This is the first kit dedicated to enhancing the lives of elder Sims, offering them one last chance to leave a lasting legacy. These kits will be available for download alongside the game's updates for those who own the base game of Sims 4. Be sure to check the minimum system requirements to ensure compatibility. The kits will be available on both PC and console platforms. Simply update the game through the launcher to access the new content.
