Developer Maxis and publisher Electronic Arts (EA) have unveiled two new downloadable content (DLC) kits for the popular free-to-play life simulation game The Sims4: The Sims 4 Riviera Retreat kit and The Sims 4 Cozy Bistro equipment.
The Sims 4 Riviera Retreat kit offers a range of items designed to help you “create the most peaceful spaces, overflowing with timeless antiquity and contemporary styles”. This includes new linen furniture, decorative arches, rustic wicker armchairs, gentle waterfalls and green pergolas. It seems like the perfect addition if you’re looking for new ways to add some extra flair to your in-game patios, gardens, or pool areas.
As the name suggests, The Sims 4 Cozy Bistro This kit allows you to create more intimate dining spaces with a selection of colorful canopies, Parisian bistro furniture, intricately detailed windows and vintage decorative items. While some of the included build mode items might fit well in an Art Deco home, the pack is primarily intended to “accentuate your bar or lounge-style lot.”
Both kits will be available tomorrow (May 30, 2024) and will cost the standard price of $4.99 / £4.99. If you are not familiar with the pricing structure of The Sims4 add-ons and kits are currently the cheapest way to expand your game. They aim to provide a bite-sized injection of content at a more affordable price compared to the larger and more expensive expansion packs, game packs and accessory packs.
While some introduce basic gameplay elements, the bulk of most kits come in the form of new build mode items around a specific theme. Even if you’re not interested in paying for additional content, you can still download and play the basic version The Sims4 now free on PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series
