There are a lot of extras players can buy for The Sims 4: Expansion Packs, Game Packs, and Stuff Packs give players plenty of extra content to choose from. A recent addition to The Sims 4 is Game Kits. These are kind of like Stuff Packs, in that they only contain Create-a-Sim or Build and Buy items, rather than introducing anything major to the gameplay. Kits are pretty cheap, and they're a nice way to spice up the game without spending too much.

The Sims 4: Ranking Every Expansion Pack From Worst To Best

The Sims 4 has plenty of great expansion packs. Some of them really enhance the gameplay, while others fall just short of expectations.

There are a lot of Kits to choose from in The Sims 4. Here, every one of them has been ranked. These Kis add some nicely designed, well-thought-out items to the game, with a strong theme for each one.

Updated February 15, 2024 by Alexandra O'Leary: The Sims 4 has been the latest and greatest entry in the franchise for ten years. Released in 2014, it easily has the best longevity of almost any game on the market, and that's largely thanks to the amount of additional content available.

Although EA has finally released some limited information on The Sims 5, or "Project Rene," they have confirmed they will continue working on The Sims 4 alongside it. Hopefully, this means that content like expansion packs and kits, which play a huge part in keeping the game feeling new and exciting, will continue to be released. There are a total of 27 kits currently available, ranging from fashion to items to architecture. These fantastic and inexpensive DLCs offer a specific kind of content and are perfect for players who want a certain kind of look for their Sim or home.

27 Country Kitchen

Rustic Kitchen Decor

• 2 x Appliances
• 13 x Miscellaneous Kitchen Decor

The Country Kitchen Kit is similar to the Cottage Living Expansion Pack: if players love that homely, rustic, cozy vibe, this is the one to go for. Standout items include the retro fridge and retro cooker, which look much prettier than the usual fridges and cookers available in The Sims 4.

The focus on the kitchen means players will get a wide range of cabinets and wall shelves, which makes it easy to create that cluttered, homely look. In fact, the kit introduces some new clutter items, including an oven dish, bread bin, and some flowers.

26 Bathroom Clutter

Comfortable Mess

• 31 x Miscellaneous Bathroom Decor

Bathroom Clutter is a fun pick for Sims who spend a lot of time at home, and perhaps have a big family of all different ages. It offers items like false teeth in a cup of water, toothpaste tubes, and new floor mats.

The main draw of Bathroom Clutter is the added choice for bathroom decor, but other than that it doesn't add much that the standard The Sims 4 doesn't already have. If players are invested in creating a vivid bathroom scene then it might be a good choice.

25 Everyday Clutter

Realistic Homely Items

• 30 x Miscellaneous Room Decor

Everyday Clutter is a good option for players who want to add a 'lived-in' feel to their homes. It adds a bunch of unique items that give the impression of busy Sims who have places to be and no time to tidy. It makes a house feel a little more personal and individual, with items like a phone and keys, coffee cups, and a busy bag hook.

Although these items are still great additions to the game, overall it doesn't add much to the decor of a Sim house. It might be the right choice for some, but for others, it can just end up making their Sim house look messy and cluttered. It depends on the atmosphere players want, but there are better kits out there to show personality.

24 Desert Luxe

Sleek, Stylish Decor

• 3 x Light Fixtures
• 7 x Seating
• 17 x Miscellaneous Decor

Desert Luxe is a kit for specific individuals who like a minimalist, earthy look to their Sim home. It adds various household items like a fireplace and sunbed, as well as decorative things like curtains and lampshades. They all have a very specific style to them that does tie in with neutral desert chic.

There aren't many items in the kit, and all of them are so specific that unless players are looking for this distinct style, most of them aren't very useful. Other kits offer a little more variety in their theme and would blend in better with other Sim house items.

23 Basement Treasures

Forgotten Heirlooms And Throwback Items

• 2 x TVs
• 23 x Miscellaneous Decor

Basement Treasures is a good option for thrifty players or those who want to create a spooky attic for their Sims to explore. It's full of dusty, old-fashioned items like a crate of vinyls, black and white photos, and chests. It has all the makings of a haunted house or dark thriller playthrough.

The Sims 4: Best Part-Time Jobs

Part-time jobs are available for Sims 4 players who don't want to work full-time but don't want a lot of hours, and these are the best ones to pick.

Even though Basement Treasures opens up a new style of gameplay that lends itself well to players who like to create storylines for their Sims, there's not too much in the kit that gamers would put anywhere else in the house. It is marketed for a basement, and that's certainly where most of this stuff would stay.

22 Pastel Pop

Cute And Pretty Decor

• 7 x Furniture
• 17 x Miscellaneous Room Decor

Pastel Pop caters to a certain style of home and, as the name suggests, keeps to pastel colors. There are a bunch of items in this kit that are very different from standard The Sims 4 items, meaning they'll change up the vibe of a Sim house. Some items included are adorable wall decorations, a funky mirror, and a rock salt lamp.

Like most interior design kits, this selection of items may only appeal to certain players. Those who want more sleek looks will have a hard time finding much in this kit to place in their home. On the whole, some items would easily slot into a pre-existing Sim house, meaning they're pretty versatile decorations.

21 Modern Menswear

Contemporary Fashion For The Men's Wardrobe

• 15 x Upper Body Items
• 7 x Lower Body Items
• 2 x Shoes

The lack of stylish menswear in the base game is something many players have pointed out over the years. Modern Menswear attempts to fill that gap with a decent range of CAS items in a subtle color palette.

Standout items include the leather jacket and the check shirt. Some of the pieces are pretty out there, however: the pants look kind of weird, and there could be a wider selection of patterns.

20 Industrial Loft

Minimalistic Interior Design

• 7 x Ceiling Fixtures
• 10 x Furniture
• 9 x Miscellaneous Decor

In contrast to the more homely packs, Industrial Loft adds some modern items ideal for apartments. Inspired by industrial lofts in Brooklyn, there are some very nice items in this kit, including wood-and-steel beds and sofas, and some cool, chunky wall decorations. The neon lighting is a particularly nice touch.

The best thing about the Industrial Loft Kit is the windows and doors. If players like large, almost floor-to-ceiling windows, they will enjoy the items on offer in this kit. The sliding doors are nice, too. The whole pack works well with the City Living Expansion Pack.

19 Throwback Fit

Blast From The Past Clothes

• 7 x Lower Body Items
• 11 x Upper Body Items
• 3 x Hats
• 2 x Shoes

Time to get retro! Throwback Fit is a clothing-based kit with some excellent retro items. A common complaint about The Sims 4 is the lack of nice casual clothing, but this kit adds some key items that players can use again and again. The hoodies and crop tops look great, and the bucket hats are a nice nod to the '90s.

There are some children's items available too, including tracksuits and an adorable sunflower bucket hat. The footwear is incredible, with some '80s-style sneakers in rainbow colors for all Sims to enjoy.

18 Decor To The Max

Vibrant Interior Design

• 5 x Furniture
• 18 x Miscellaneous Decor

This is not a pack for minimalists! Decor to the Max adds some eclectic items to the mix, in a range of bold patterns. The carpets and wallpapers are interesting, with the tiger-patterned wallpaper being a good choice for feature walls.

17 Goth Galore

Dark And Fashionable 'Fits

• 2 x Shoes
• 3 x Make-Up Looks

It's perfect for any players who have their Sims dabbling on the darker side of life, especially if they're trying to put out some supernatural vibes. It adds 24 additional items in total, all of them fashion or aesthetic-themed, and are brilliant options for cool goth outfits.

16 Fashion Street

Mumbai-Inspired Clothing

• 17 x Clothing Items
• 7 x Accessories
• 2 x Shoes

Fashion Street introduces a bunch of new clothing to the game, including bright, flowing fabrics and accessories. Inspired by the fashion of Mumbai, players can expect bright clothing in contemporary cuts and some fun accessories.

The jewelry is particularly great: think beautiful dangly earrings, sparkling bangles, and nose rings. Plus, it introduces some new Henna hand tattoos to the game. Fashion Street has some amazing items, and it's well worth introducing to the game if players want some new clothing in Create-A-Sim.

15 Carnaval Streetwear

Beautiful Brazillian Outfits

• 19 x Clothing Items
• 4 x Accessories
• 3 x Make-Up Looks

Bright, bold, and in-your-face, this isn't the most subtle Kit out there, but if players are longing for standout clothing, it's a good choice. Designed with Brazillian singer-songwriter Pabllo Vittar, this kit is meant to celebrate Brazil's festival, Carnaval. It has some summer-appropriate clothing for Sims, with a neon color palette.

This kit is great because it includes bold make-up, nails, and accessories; if players are fed up with the base game make-up, this is a good fix. It would have been good to have new hairstyles included in this kit, but overall, it's a well-designed collection.

14 Moonlight Chic

Cosmopolitan Fashion

• 15 x Upper Body Items
• 13 x Lower Body Items
• 4 x Accessories
• 1 x Shoes

Moonlight Chic is a great option for cosmopolitan, romantic players who want stylish outfits and dreamy interactions. It's a fashion pack that boasts 33 new items of clothing, all of them reminiscent of Parisian nightlife. Some options include shiny crop tops, a beautiful slip dress, and a racer jacket.

There's no real downside to this kit unless players simply don't like the style of clothing. There are a lot of different items for the price, and it can easily add an entirely new, cool vibe to a Sim.

13 Incheon Arrivals

South Korean-Inspired Streetwear

• 11 x Upper Body Items
• 8 x Lower Body Items
• 3 x Shoes

Incheon Arrivals adds a fresh, modern style to the Sim wardrobe. Incheon is a city in South Korea, and this kit draws inspiration from its oversized, neutral streetwear scene. Items like its long skirts, cozy cardigans, and jackets make it a brilliant kit to modernize a Sim and give them an undeniably chic edge.

This is a great kit for any player since the items can easily be mixed with standard Sim clothing to elevate it. Some items can be used for casual and fancy outfits, although it may leave players jealous of their Sim's fit.

12 Greenhouse Haven

Plant-Based Architecture And Decor

• 5 x Furniture
• 23 x Miscellaneous Decor

The Greenhouse Haven kit is a good option for players with a green thumb Sim, especially since it can be incorporated into traits and careers. It features various building items, as well as accessories all good greenhouses need, like pots, soil, and watering cans.

Although this kit doesn't add as many items of clothing as some other kits, the items are well-designed and will likely leave some players feeling nostalgic. They're perfect for giving a Sim that anti-establishment, punk vibe and making sure they keep up with the times.
