There are two new upcoming kits for it The Sims 4, each with a very different atmosphere. The Greenhouse Haven Kit adds a lush, green outdoor space to your Sims, while the Basement Treasures Kit let you indulge your own gremlin aesthetic with worn and “lived-in” items.
As someone who loves adding a level of realism to her Sims gameplay (I added cracks from the Vampires game package my Sims’ crappy college dorm to really capture the crappy college tenement experience), I welcome the “grungy and outdated” furniture and decor that will come with Basement Treasures. The official press release says the kit will include old trophies and family photos, dusty trinkets and an older TV model. If the photos are correct, it also looks like there will be a used mattress that can lean against a wall – what’s a basement without it?
Greenhouse Haven, meanwhile, will include garden objects such as starter seedlings, stacks of pots and hanging flowers, along with more greenhouse building tools such as glass panes and doors.
Both kits will be available on April 20 – so if you know that there will be parties with greenhouses and cellars going on that day, it might be a good time to celebrate. Kits are typically $4.99, a small price to pay for an extra touch of realism.
