EA released a list of 12 new Sims 4 Kit concepts!

[@MissSimsalot]

I am 100% sure they asked an intern to come up with some kit ideas, the intern asked chatGPT to come up with some ideas and they put the survey out without looking

[@steggopotamus]

Or, even the CEO is trying to cut corners by using chat GPT rather than pay his staff. That happens a lot too.

[@MadMaxineC]

Soulless corporate speak existed before chatgpt, believe it or not.

[@westanimesims]

I'm not too surprised at all lol. They all sounded so similar that 2 or 3 of them can be merged into a stuff pack.

For real, these ideas are so MEH and repetitive. They should ask players for kit ideas instead 😒

[@bookcat123]

Willy’s whimsical chocolate experience

[@WitchySofia]

Definitely AI generated, here I just generated some expansion packs ideas lmao: Sims 4: Wilderness Survival Brave the untamed wilds as your Sims try to survive off the land, facing challenges like extreme weather, dangerous wildlife, and scarce resources. Build shelters, forage for food, and master survival skills as you try to stay one step ahead of nature’s perils. Sims 4: Undercover Life Live the thrilling life of a secret agent! Your Sims will balance day jobs while completing undercover missions, investigating double agents, and engaging in high-stakes spy work. With gadgets, disguises, and covert meetings, they’ll have to stay sharp to avoid being caught. Sims 4: Small Town Stories Immerse your Sims in the charm of small-town life, where everyone knows each other’s secrets. Join community events, gossip over coffee, and tackle unique local issues. Build relationships with quirky neighbors and explore the unique personality of a tight-knit town. Sims 4: Galactic Adventures Blast off to a new planet where your Sims can explore alien landscapes, meet extraterrestrial species, and settle in intergalactic colonies. Each world brings unique challenges, whether managing a space outpost, decoding alien cultures, or battling cosmic weather. Sims 4: Culinary Pursuits Take the culinary world by storm as your Sims become chefs, food critics, or restaurant moguls. Create signature dishes, manage bustling kitchens, and build your brand from a food cart to a top-tier restaurant. Spice up life with cooking competitions and exclusive recipes.

[@nikkinoodlesoup]

Take a shot every time the sims uses “whimsical” 😂

[@naediggs4816]

You being up a really great point - their barebones laziness from other packs is coming to bite them, because Simmers will just ask "why can't you just make X functional, since we already have it"? Additionally, many mods exist to make deco objects functional - why should I pay the Sims team for what a modder can execute better when it's THEIR fault for acting so cheaply in the first place?

[@onpagewithlinds]

Is it April?? Have they absolutely lost their marbles?? Are they even OKAY at this point? Someone needs to check on whoever green-lit these ideas. This is jawdroppingly bad.

[@Simfyre]

If we had a playground kit, I would want objects we do not already have. God not another swing set... unless they make one for toddlers! I would love to see a functional sandbox, springed ride-on toys, a tricycle, soccer goal to use with the in-game soccer ball and maybe some functional vending carts like for popcorn, cotton candy, snow cones, etc.

[@lizmowrey9866]

I agree with you

[@kommandantvhs4994]

Or they could give us objects that are not base game but hidden behind other packs

[@kelly-bo-belly]

Absolutely. I do not want to spend money on reskins of this stuff. Give us new equipment and activities. A real slide for kids and teens, all the things you listed, baseball and other sports. We need a reason to buy these kits and packs. It’s not complicated to make new items. I’m so sick of their relentless greed.

[@jazzamatazz1407]

you can already make sandboxes. you literally just create a square of sand terrain with a super low fence almost entirely enclosing it and kids will make sandcastles in it. Easy.

[@Indiscreetmess]

Playground would be better if they are stuff packs, not damn kits

[@queen_sophie7515]

Makes me think his theory about these ideas just being some AI generated slop might actually be true. Someone do a prompt like what this hypothetical EA employee would've written and post the results lol

[@XxXx-yt3rf]

Almost all of these seem to have been done before! I don't buy kits, but I might consider if they do something that I am actually missing in the game, like a kit with rugs (we have so little rugs!), or beds (beds are so repetitive), or maybe even more kitchen sets.

[@121Greenthumb]

Because they make more money breaking expansions up into 27 kits and stuff packs than actually making fleshed out packs...

[@Abrakadabro666]

Here’s a list of five theoretical The Sims 4 kits that could become instant hits, aligning with player demands and community trends: 1. Haunted Hobbies Kit Concept: Introduces paranormal-themed hobbies, such as tarot reading, seances, ghost hunting, and spirit communication. Sims can craft charms and wards or create haunted art pieces. Features: New tarot decks and crystal balls as functional objects. Traits: Superstitious or Skeptic. Build/Buy: Spooky decor, Victorian occult furniture, and eerie lighting. Why It Would Work: Players love occult themes (e.g., Paranormal Stuff Pack) and enjoy expanding hobby-based gameplay. 2. Streetwear Frenzy Kit Concept: Expands CAS with trendy, real-world-inspired streetwear fashion, including oversized hoodies, cargo pants, statement sneakers, and bucket hats. Features: 30+ fashion pieces with mix-and-match potential. New accessories: gold chains, designer backpacks, and headphones. Bold makeup options, such as graffiti-inspired eye shadows. Why It Would Work: Players constantly seek modern and trendy clothing options. Streetwear is popular in mods, so an official release would be welcomed by the community. 3. World Traveler Kit Concept: Adds cultural decor and CAS items from underrepresented regions, inspired by real-world destinations such as Morocco, Brazil, and Japan. Features: Build/Buy: Handwoven rugs, low-rise sofas, tatami mats, and colorful tiles. CAS: Traditional and modern outfits blending global styles. Bonus: New travel aspirations, like Cultural Explorer. Why It Would Work: Players love immersion through global influences, and this kit would give the game more diversity and aesthetic depth. 4. Grunge Revival Kit Concept: Revives 90s grunge style with distressed fashion, chipped furniture, and underground vibes. Features: CAS: Ripped jeans, band tees, plaid shirts, and combat boots. Build/Buy: Mismatched furniture, lava lamps, old speakers, and posters. New Radio Station: Grunge Rock FM. Why It Would Work: Nostalgia-based packs always hit big (Throwback Fit Kit). Many players are nostalgic for alternative 90s aesthetics, and this would blend fashion and build content seamlessly. 5. Cottage Core Dreams Kit Concept: Focuses on expanding cottagecore aesthetics with quaint decor, floral prints, and soft, dreamy outfits. Features: Build/Buy: Lace curtains, flower garlands, tea sets, and rustic wooden furniture. CAS: Flowing dresses, overalls, straw hats, and floral accessories. New Lot Trait: Cozy Vibes - boosts happiness during downtime activities. Why It Would Work: Cottage Living proved the popularity of this theme. Players would appreciate smaller additions to keep the cozy, rural lifestyle alive without needing a full expansion. These kits tap into popular trends-fashion, nostalgia, paranormal intrigue, cultural exploration, and aesthetic lifestyle themes-making them likely to be smash hits with both casual and dedicated fans of The Sims 4. ​@@yee8332

[@gaatjouniksaanja753]

That's true..... but these thinks ( sleeping bags, swings, bikes, basketbalnet etc) are only in the bigger more expensieve packs. (growing together, island living, seasons, cat and dogs etc.) So people who can't or couldn't effort all those packs and stuff....can now buy certain things for once which were in those pack but without having to buy all those expensive packs. So for that group it could be useful. But indeed not for the people who already have everything. For them it's boring of course.

[@AJ-tiltagirl]

I truly don't understand why we can't just have a couple new playground items. There are TWO new swingsets coming in the 'Life and Death' pack; like, enough with the swings already. TS3 had swings, slides, jungle gyms, see-saws, spring riders, sandboxes, hopscotch and treehouses. Even TS2 had swings, jungle gyms and merry-go-rounds. Side note: If they try to sell us one more kids activity table i swear I'm gonna rage...

Oh man yes that would be so cool to have more playground equipment! I’d especially like to see more varieties of slides on their own for older kids and a seesaw would be really cool too

[@kelly-bo-belly]

We at least have a hot tub in base-game now. 😩 but those stalls are massive and horribly designed. I NEVER use them. They couldn’t even be bothered to include a wheelchair accessible stall in that pack. Total disability erasure in the game. They pretend to be all about inclusion while omitting the most basic acknowledgement of anyone living with mobility issues.

[@augusto7681]

[@chrisberm]

A bit off topic, but i really wish they would provide a major update/overhaul for mermaids and aliens powers like they did with ghosts in the life & death. Back on topic, kits seem to have hit stagnant waters and just rehashing the same concepts. They should really look at the sims 2 and 3 things that arent in 4 and try to reincorperate them.

[@WhisperTraining]

Yesssssss I want this soooo bad!!! In my legacy save I’m playing mostly with spellcasters but one of my spellcasters fell in love with a mermaid and had a mermaid baby who grew up and now has a family of his own with a mermaid wife and mermaid kids and while I love the powers they do have like changing the weather and draining other sims needs to fill their own in the water they could make them sooo much cooler! I want a skill tree like the spellcasters and honestly I also want a secret mermaid realm similar to sixam or the magic realm or sylvan glade. I’ve turned the forgotten grotto into a mermaid grotto with a gorgeous swimmable natural pool and other activities but it would be so cool to have an underwater realm or be able to build in/under the water. I doubt they will ever happen tho.

[@ScooterinAB]

They could make some kind of new expansion or game pack to add those features. /s

[@joshsargent9599]

Like with kits.. the only one I can think of is like a musical instrument kit? Like cellos or flutes or drums etc like just instruments

Musical kit would be awesome. Kids could start from blockflute with funny sound and then teenagers-adults would get 1-2 skill lvl for playing it to use saxophone or a professional flute or clarnet. Little drum for kids to march with. And then a professional drum kit like in Sims 3.

Every screen porch I’ve been in is attached to the exterior of the house with a few steps down into it.

Fix the coding so everybody stops riding their damn bikes INTO THE HOUSE THROUGH THE DOORS. Allowing multiple elevators in each build with the ability to limit certain ones to household, employees, etc. just like doors. Keeping a specific butler coded to a certain family. It drives me nuts that my butlers are in multiple households. Making the babysitter career a "hire a specific babysitter" popup just like it is for a personal chef when you click on the refrigerator.

lol yeah, I'm starting to not want to buy more packs because I can't find ANYTHING

[@DanielaMiszezun]

There's the castle theme kit, why not ancient greek/roman/vikings (all topics of nowadays) that can have both: clothes and build mode. The addition of better garden activities for everyone, could be good (few more tree houses, could be nice, some more bikes, etc). They can bring in a kit: vehicles (like dust kit.. with some gameplay too so the dust bunnies are not alone in the concept)...screendoors could be nice.. They are taking packs to create kits.. basically

[@BrokenDollyTV]

Great minds. I been wanting a playground pack for ages with more interesting objects like see saw, the whirly thing that spins, a zip line, better slides in different sizes for all age groups, those metal animals or cars that kids ride on metal springs... idk what they're called. Sandbox, maybe even a volley ball net or tennis court? Just a bunch of stuff u typically see at a neighborhood park for families to spend time or kids can loiter there.

[@PoisonLatex]

I’d love a volley ball net but placeable in the pool/water.

[@yascabot4711]

The Sims 3 has Alice in Wonderland content. I remember wonky furniture, a teacup chair, a pocket watch clock, a teapot lamp, a mushroom lamp, etc. It was called 'Through the Looking Glass', which is the title of the Alice in Wonderland sequel.

[@jadethomas93]

I would love a stuff pack of game pack with park stuff like a roundabout, slide,the little rocking horse things and maybe even a trampoline they would be so good for gameplay so much better than all of these recycled items, half them kits already exist lol 😂

[@TOMIEUNDEAD]

Just make a Fashion Game Pack with Super Model and Fashion Designer careers Along with a sewing skill and sewing table to make our own clothes for the runway. Knowing EA this is too much to ask cause they are incapable of making anything fun

[@vingedheart]

I actually agree with you on 90% this - the only thing is the Yurt. I like that it sounds like something we haven't got..... but of course I could be very disappointed. The other kits? Jeez.... Nothing I would spend money on.

[@kaiannanthi7820]

You forgot we have the romantic gardens pack too, when discussing the different plant/garden based packs that already exist. We have all that "manucured gardens" stuff covered.

[@jennaragsdale5593]

Maybe it's just me but I really don't think we need anymore dinosaur stuff. I want a different child's theme room, especially for boys. Space, ocean, music, some other animals idk anything other than sports or dinosaurs cause I'm sick of sport and dinosaur themed children's rooms.

[@dianacfleming]

I don't see a single kit on the list that I can't already do with in game items.

[@rjafitzgerald]

Topiary = toe-pee-air-ee (evergreen shrubs/bushes that are clipped and cut into stylised shapes such as animals or perfect circles, triangles etc) 😊

A roundabout would be nice for a kids playground. We have one in The Sims 2 😲

[@bookcat123]

I’m assuming you don’t mean a circular road to replace an intersection. What’s a kids’ roundabout?

[@MinicartTSR]

@@bookcat123 In USA it would be called a merry go round - I just googled it 😃We (England) call it a roundabout as it's not so fancy as a merry go round with horses and such.

[@bookcat123]

@@MinicartTSR Thank you! That makes sense now. 🙂

@@bookcat123 You're welcome 😃👍 The intersection thing did make me chuckle though 😃

[@bernster123]

It’s official. EA has run out of kit ideas !

[@steggopotamus]

There's tons of options too. Like how satch suggested a kid's party kit when the party essentials kit came out. But also, everyone wants more beds curtains and carpets added to base game, they could add them make it rainbow, but especially include purple (because basegame sucks at purple) Or a pool lot kit, with a standard pool sign, a (nonfunctional?) life guard chair, new loungers, an open shower, and water themed decorations, and water toys for toddlers and kids (like a water slide and a diving board)

[@LoveByNicole]

We havent gotten a gameplay kit since bust the dust... so lame

[@jupiterthree5228]

Also one of Creator Kits is about sleep overs. I want WILD gardens. Not manicured! Give us big lush bushes and beautiful non cartoon flowers.

[@Rowanlafolle1965]

Other than what I mentioned earlier about the screened windows, I didn't see anything new here. Just trying to charge me again for things I already have. Kinda like that castle kit or whatever it was called. Pretty sure all of those things were already in my game, and there were just recolors and tiny details changed. Not worth paying for. These don't seem worth paying for either. Instead, why don't they bring back Create-a-Style. I would be willing to pay a pretty hefty price to have that brought back...I could make things MATCH again!!!

[@elan1418]

Omg, the toppiarerrery made me coke on my food :-D

[@gaatjouniksaanja753]

A kit with only trims, spires, spandrels, fences, gates, columns, roofs, windows etc would be amazing !!!!!!!!!! When you can't buy all those bigger packs you are so limited with those things !!! I love those light wooden stairs, columns, fences, windows from horse pack, snowy escape, growing together for example but can't buy al those pack unfortunately.. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 Or a kit with some nice and modern or colorful/with pattern kitchen and bathroom tiles/floors.... Or tiles for outside..

[@augusto7681]

honestly you get a lot more value per money buying one pack than several kits. Unles if you only build but dont play the game.

[@kelly-bo-belly]

Even when you can buy those packs it is still a crap selection

[@jodenise894]

Yes and the basegame textures are sh*t 😂😂

[@gaatjouniksaanja753]

@@augusto7681 I do build more indeed and almost never play. But besides of that.... I buyd all the older packs in sale for 20 dollars....And when I count what I spend on them together already the amount is HUGE!!! So I stopped buying the newer packs because I only play 3 or 4 times a year so I think it's crazy to spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on the game. Especially when you don't have a lot of money. But therefore now I miss all the newer build items.

People think of EA as a major company but behind the scenes its just a few interns and a hamster

i dont know how else to say this besides i want "schlubby" cas/build stuff. stains, rips, more run down stuff. im sick of all my sims being firmly middle class

[@lindathompson6762]

I wish they would've just updated Sims 3 resolution and build objects.

[@WhisperTraining]

I love kits because my laptop isn’t the best and I can’t buy too many expansion packs, but most of these sound useless. However I do actually really like the idea of another plant/garden themed kit and maybe even the sunroom/conservatory kit if they did it right (it def would need to feel different than greenhouse haven). Blooming rooms and greenhouse haven are absolutely my all time favorite kits and the ones I use the most. If they could give us more functional shelf/wall planters (I don’t mean like the eco lifestyle ones tho those are awesome but like free floating shelves with plantable pots on them) I think that would be a cool addition or plantable hanging planters would also be cool. Not that I think they will be that creative tho lol. Also I would like more decorative hanging plants as well. Other than the nifty knitting ones which are great there are hardly any it feels like. I feel we can never have too many plants or plant themed items in the sims lol.

[@MalcolmBerglund]

They should release a gamepack introducing sweets and yummy treats. You know, the regular things we have in real life. Or introduce crime into the game

[@gustinggrimoire]

All i want is more gameplay to do, but i cant trust it to work

[@georgiemac1784]

I wiiiiish they would make a halloween costime kit. I haaaaaate how few ones we have cos i love halloween 😭

[@hazmatproductions1998]

We already have seasons EP and spooky SP for Halloween items. Feels redundant to make a kit for more costumes tbh. What pisses me off is that Spooky SP BB/CAS isn’t coded to be decorations or Costumes for Holiday traditions in Seasons EP. I wish they fixed that instead.

[@georgiemac1784]

@hazmatproductions1998 it's more the kids have like 2 costumes which sucks. I don't think toddlers even had any 🤔

[@121Greenthumb]

@@georgiemac1784 yeah toddlers were not apart of the game when that pack came out I believe. Thats one of the things thta could have and should have been fixed when doing pack refreshes....

[@georgiemac1784]

@121Greenthumb cheers. I mean all the kits sounded pretty redundant but I would love addition seasons stuff for like Christmas or Halloween etc. I'm a console player so probs why I'm a bit more into it 😅

[@Ready-ForTheEnd]

That would be so cute to dress up the infant as a little ladybug or something. Dress the toddler up as a pickle 😂

[@ScooterinAB]

These are absolutely AI written. The text is too generic and reads like a madlib. The are filled with empty words and tell you nothing about the kit idea, But absofuckinglutely yes to a dinosaur bedroom. I wanted that as a kid, I want that as an adult, and I want that in Sims.

[@redhondachic]

They way Satch is saying topiary is actually killing me LOL 😂"top ee air ra ree" ❤

highest key LOVE the tea party pack thing... seems rlly niche but PERSONALLY i luv

[@D3Hearts]

Sigh... they are already recycling ideas for kits! Can't anyone there use a little imagination and creativity???

The tea seat thing could be like an afternoon tea spot with like cafés that are sit in event more than like drink and go

Hear me out...a High Tea Kit This is the only reason to have a tea set and snack tray.

I prefer kits when they have an activity. But i REALLY WISH they would have animal/zoo/nature, themed kits for any age, or Hello kitty kit, Nintendo kits, IKEA....hiking kit, mermaid kit, ALIEN kit full of clothes, hair makeup,build items, decorations, activities only mermaids and aliens can do...👽. But im not impressed with the new slumber party kit not my vibe seems unimaginative

Cc is needed in this game and it shouldn't be like that with the amount of dlc. Couches is something I don't here enough about, I don't like the majority of them

[@Lizziguin]

A must for me is the dinosaurs. I grew up and still love dinosaurs. I had a paleontology kit when I was in elementary school age. The glamping kit might be interesting too. Those 2 are the only ones that seem to be a semi new idea for a kit pack. The others would just heavily depend on what the aesthetic and function for potential new items are like.

[@IamD0wJ0nes]

As a console players i really depend on kits. I'm really excited I hope these kit ideas are ones they work with cc creators

[@121Greenthumb]

Even if they do work with CC creators. They are paying them bare bones and charging you an arm and a leg for utter garbage. Please respect yourself and your wallet and stop supporting the constant monetization of every god damn little thing in this game. Its way out of hand at this point. It has been for years honestly...

[@Charlee1776]

The sort of things I would love to see added (in a kit or otherwise) are things like: a way for a sim to completely furnish a home through a skill like handiness or the Eco Living thing.. I'm talking toilets; tubs; showers; bed; cabinets; windows; doors; all of it!, better "tiny living" objects that actually take up less space (the murphy bed is a joke for making anything tiny) maybe an "all-in-one" bathroom like they did in Sims 3 (the one with boats and hotels.. sorry my ability to recall names is bad today), so many more ideas... The truth is that most of these are simple things that should probably already be included in packs they have released but they overlooked them (which is why the game probably has felt to be lacking depth for so long).

[@punkyskunk9317]

for the glamping idea YOU KNOW that it would have a loading screen to get into it. I feel it in my old tired sim beaten bones

[@hazmatproductions1998]

14:02 NOT MY FIRST BATHROOM FURNISHING KIT 😭😭

[@Maishathealchemist]

As an American, I’m gonna say I would love some screens and an actual porch/conservatory as you call it as long as they add mosquitoes and other bugs that bother the Sims and cause effects if they get bitten, it can’t just be the screened in porch it has to be something that caused them to do that

[@dnediversendequal9467]

Whether it be via kits or packs, I really wish they'd enhance game play and different build ideas. Like the castle kit and get to work pack but specific to say a fire house, or a hospital. Even a park kit with different climbing frames or a kit that mimics furniture in popular shows (Friends & The simpsons spring to mind)

[@matthewstanding3585]

I think the ‘wonderland’ one could work if it wasn’t a kit and if they didn’t make it wonderland specific. Maybe something like a fairytale themed pack where the different swatches can change depending on the fantasy land, ie/ wonderland, neverland, oz etc.. and if it was a fairytale world they could then add fairies. Also the bit most people associate ‘Alice in Wonderland” is the tea party so if they had a a modular type table and tea party set it would also include the ‘tea time’ kit
