It's hard living the life of a Sim and, at the end of the day, they deserve the best of the best items in the game. Players can settle for cheap furniture and appliances that break and misfire easily or shell out thousands of their Sims' funds for state-of-the-art furnishings.

To put things in perspective, the average starter home in The Sims 4 costs anywhere between 10,000 and 16,000 simoleons when it is fully furnished.

Updated on February 5, 2024, by Jenna Amore: As Simmers eagerly anticipate the latest updates and expansions, it's time to revisit the opulent side of Sim life - the objects that have left an indelible mark on the community (and their wallets). While The Sims 4 team has been keen on shining a light on impoverished communities and minorities in their recent DLC content, the allure of extravagance in The Sims 4 continues to captivate its audience. Are these lavish items still worth a Sim's hard-earned cash or has the shifting tide of Sim society redefined the notion of luxury?

Flur's Sofa boasts plush cushioning and an ergonomic design, ensuring that those who sit on this couch feel like royalty.
