The Everyday Clutter Kit of The Sims 4 levels up a player’s life simulation experience with the much-awaited addition of clutter. With The Sims 5 potentially being years away, fans of The Sims 4 can look at Everyday Clutter to breathe a bit more chaotic life into their Sims and homes. With the game finally breaking away from the trend of near-perfect symmetry, players can finally enjoy a more realistic look of “messy” environments without CCs and cheats that may interrupt an otherwise seamless simulation experience.
The Sims 4: Best Active Careers, Ranked
The Sims 4 features several active careers, but some are more engaging than others.
Like most other content packs in The Sims game, Everyday Clutter Kit contains hundreds of new objects centered around the “clutter" theme they can add to their homes. Instead of large thematic items, players can finally add the occasional headphones, piles of pens, and stacks of messy books to simulate a more believable everyday life for their Sims. Just what are the best objects in this pack?
10 Aural Ambrosia Headset
Fit For The Modern Professional, Gamer, Content Creator
Cost | 150 |
|---|---|
Modifier | Environment 1 |
Expensive headphones on a headset stand are a ubiquitous part of a modern gamer’s paraphernalia, with the Aural Ambrosia Headset giving any Sims character the vibe of a hardcore gamer, streamer, and professional, depending on the player’s preference. At its core, the Aural Ambrosia Headset seems like a typical pair of headphones on a headset stand. However, its usefulness in the Everyday Clutter content kit extends to how they are used in conjunction with its location.
Traditional placement of the Aural Ambrosia Headset on a workstation can already imply the presence of a professional who takes video calls with co-workers. However, the green headset on the wooden stand or the red headset on the black stand could imply a more creative Sim persona like that of a gamer. Likewise, opting for the white headset on a bedside table could imply the headphones are noise-canceling and meant for sleep, hinting at a more sophisticated user.
9 Boom Blocks
Populate A Desk With A Gen-Z Organizer
Cost | 140 |
|---|---|
Modifier | Fun 1, Power Consumption Rating 4, Reliability 3 |
It’s precisely because workspaces are used for work that they barely look tidy, especially with Boom Blocks in The Sims 4 gameplay. This object takes the form of a small triangle open rack with two layers, with a bottom rack reserved for books and pens, while the top has a pair of eponymous Boom Blocks that look like mini Bluetooth cube speakers.
When placed in a Sims 4 location such as a study table, Boom Blocks give the area much-needed depth without compromising space. This is especially true since the Boom Blocks are slightly smaller than a traditional monitor and just as tall as an open laptop, but just wide enough to occupy a small portion of the desk. Boom Blocks are a perfectly “neutral” addition to a workspace, perfect for work-from-home professional Sims.
8 Lug Trio
Perfect For The Busy Sim On-The-Go
Cost | 120 |
|---|---|
Modifier | Environment 1 |
When a bedside table or drawer is placed close to the door in any The Sims 4 house, the Lug Trio finally removes the predictability of having the space above said furnishing be occupied by a painting, mirror, or even desk lamp. If going-away items such as phone and keys are placed on the desk beside the door, then it makes sense for hanging bags to be located above it for easy access.
The Lug Trio is a hook that contains three bags: a leather bag for fashionable shopping trips, a canvas bag for casual strolls and attending school, and a nylon bag for the occasional grocery trip. Despite the item’s simple nature, the depth they add to a wall can breathe life near doors and closets beyond the traditional painting, especially since they imply a Sim with a more active lifestyle.
7 Phone And Keys
Breathe Life Into An Entryway With Entrance Essentials
Cost | 550 |
|---|---|
Modifier | Environment 1 |
Perhaps the most essential component in any Sim’s arsenal, the Phone & Keys set in The Sims 4 content pack breathes a more modern spin to the Sim on the go. This object appears exactly as described, in that they’re two-piece components composed of a smartphone face down and a set of keys.
The Sims 4: All The Locations Where You Can WooHoo
In The Sims 4, the act of WooHoo requires a specific location. Or one of a few. Here's every location where that's possible!
Having a smartphone already gives any Sim a more realistic touch, especially when they exist in a world where computers and gaming consoles exist. Moreover, keys placed alongside smartphones make for perfect clutter beside doors, as they are often the last items people take before exiting their homes. When creating spaces with phone and keys, they may be best placed in apartments inhabited by Sims who often go out to work or party.
6 Coinoctagon
Liven Up The Dining Table With Tax Papers
Cost | 25 |
|---|---|
Modifier | Environment 1 |
While the Coinoctagon in The Sims 4 gameplay is implied to be some form of game, its appearance as a transparent container for coins on top of a stack of papers implies the “traditional” look of busywork during tax season. Although placing the Coinoctagon in a workstation gives the impression of its owner Sim being a businessman or a financial professional, the Coinoctagon’s spot on the kitchen table breathes new life into the space.
The image of a homemaker burning the midnight oil in managing the family’s finances can fit the dining table at any time of the day. A small cluttered household could use the Coinoctagon to populate a dining table, while it can also imply the dining table being “active” even outside eating time in kitchens where every other surface can be filled with meals and other foodstuffs.
5 Subtle Serve Makeup Kit
Add Glam To Any Room’s Table
Cost | 175 |
|---|---|
Modifier | Environment 1 |
Players with a knack for fashion and style would likely want their houses in The Sims 4 gameplay to have a walk-in closet, especially for Sims built-to-be stylish models who have fashion statements whenever they go out with friends. Thanks to the Subtle Serve Makeup Kit, players have a representative item whenever they change their Sim’s appearance. The sleekness of the Subtle Serve Makeup Kit makes it fit any type of setup.
Traditional bedside drawers could accommodate its tidy organizer with makeup boxes hinted inside. Meanwhile, a desk close to the closet could benefit from the open compact and make-up paraphernalia on top of the organizer, especially if the desk already has a mirror for drip checks. Lastly, even a workspace or study area for the glam and fab student could benefit from the vibrance of the compact Makeup Kit.
4 The Adoringly Adorned Jewelry Stand
Make A Dressing Area Stand Out With Accessories
Cost | 220 |
|---|---|
Modifier | Environment 1 |
Working in tandem with the Subtle Serve Makeup Kit would be The Adoringly Adorned Jewelry Stand, a collection of jewelry complete with stands for necklaces and earrings as well as foam for bracelets and wristwatches. However, unlike the Makeup Kit, this item can enhance The Sims 4 gameplay with its multi-use nature in enhancing a room’s overall aesthetic.
The Sims 4: For Rent - 7 Best Apartment Lots to Download
The Sims 4's new lot type, rental residentials, allow players to have multiple units and households in the same lot.
For instance, The Adoringly Adorned Jewelry Stand can traditionally accompany the Makeup Kit in bedside drawers and desks bedside cabinets for a stylish look. However, when placed in a workstation near a laptop, the Jewelry Stand immediately gives its user a layer of pizzazz as it implies some form of connection as an influencer. Likewise, the Jewelry Stand having different jewelry designs per color can transform it into a pseudo-artwork that could be displayed in a Sim’s collection.
3 Gym In A Box
Create A More Active Lifestyle In Home Gyms, Small Spaces
Cost | 175 |
|---|---|
Modifier | Environment 1 |
Usual houses in The Sims with gym equipment often have them clustered in a single room or an area outdoors, especially for big items such as the Treadmill, Punching Bag, and Weight Machine. Thanks to Gym In A Box, a Sim’s home can accommodate a fit and healthy character on the go.
This item especially fits the aesthetic of a Sim who regularly uses the Yoga Mat from The Sims 4: Spa Day, as having the Gym In A Box nearby is a logical visual presumption to such a character. Being able to squeeze the Gym In A Box in tight spaces such as a small apartment, a dorm room, or just a room at a family home could improve the impression of a Sim being active even without having to go use gym equipment.
2 Hooked On Storage
Maximize Tops Of Walls With Dynamic Storage
Cost | 50 |
|---|---|
Modifier | Environment 1 |
It’s not all the time that a house in The Sims 4 will have a workstation in front of an amazing view, especially in rooms with limited square footage. In the case of a compact space, a workstation in front of a wall can get boring when there’s nothing but wallpaper beyond a laptop regardless of how “cluttered” the table is. Thanks to Hooked On Storage, a blank wall near a table is used exactly the way houses in real life use them: extra storage.
With Hooked On Storage, walls beside workstations breathe more life with a wall organizer containing envelopes as well as hooks for jewelry and other necessities. Alternate color schemes allow it to work seamlessly with workstations or more traditional locations such as the kitchen and even beside doors.
1 A Slightly Creative Collection
Capture The Busy But Vibrant Creatives Field With A Drawing Tablet
Cost | 150 |
|---|---|
Modifier | Environment 1 |
Thanks to Aspirations, players can create Sims in The Sims 4 with specific goals in mind much like people in real life. And with the Creative Aspiration, Sims can become artists and even musicians with the right amount of practice with available creative furnishings in the game. However, players don’t always get to showcase a Sim’s creative pursuits unless they’re seen painting or are forced to “wear” rather vibrant clothing. This is where the A Slightly Creative Collection comes in, representing creative professionals.
A Slightly Creative Collection consists of a wireless drawing tablet on top of art books beside a wireless pen and a mug with a pencil inside. Even if a Sim’s profession isn’t directly tied to creatives, having A Slightly Creative Collection in the workspace can be an immediate testament to a Sim’s personality without any need for showing off.
