The Sims 4 to get new kits, and voters better pick Goth Fashion

Two new Sims content packs are on the way – and again, choice of what gets added The Sims 4 is in the hands of players. One of the kits will be a fashion-based pack, introducing new clothing items, while the other will add new build and buy mode features.

The contenders for the fashion kit are: Rainbow Core Style, with playful, youthful and colorful clothing, and Goth Fashion, with dark, dramatic and edgy styles. (Not to mislead anyone, but I’m voting for Goth Fashion, because my Sim family is full of dramatic vampires who are really committed to their aesthetic).

The build mode kit options also represent a fun dichotomy: medieval castle, which – as you’d expect – is all about the past, and high-tech futurism, which will be sleek and glowing and almost otherworldly. (I have no preference for this one; vote with your heart.)

Kits usually introduce a handful of different items and are the smallest of the Sims DLC options. Expansion Packs, such as City Living or Get Famous, add major new features to the game, while Game Packs usually enhance existing features. Introducing stuff packs…well, stuff, but more stuff than a small kit. As such, kits are also the cheapest of the Sims 4 DLC options, usually at $4.99.

EA regularly invites fans to vote on upcoming packs for The Sims, such as choosing a particular aesthetic for the Nifty Knitting Stuff pack or the exact type of content coming to different packs and packs. The vote link will be open until May 21 at 7:00 PM PST.
