Sims 4 "Kits" Now Available, Offering Smaller DLC Chunks

EA is offering a new size of DLC content for The Sims 4, called Kits. As opposed to the big Game Packs and the smaller Stuff Packs, Kits are "bite-size" bits of content that add some new items or features of their own. Three Kits are available so far, costing $5 apiece.

The three initial packs are the throwback fit kit, country kitchen kit, and bust the dust kit. Those include 1990s-style workout clothes, some nice kitchen cabinetry, and vaccuums to clean up actual, literal dust bunnies. You can check them out in the trailer below.

EA promises more kits will be coming, though they won't be dropped in big batches like these three. This effectively adds a new tier to Sims 4 content, as Stuff Packs cost roughly $10 and the larger Game Packs are usually $20.

The Sims 4 was first released in 2014, but it's become a long-term success for EA on the strength of its post-launch support. The game has added tons of DLC adding everything from paranormal events to Star Wars. The series as a whole recently celebrated its 21st anniversary by introducing player-created items.
