EA has just officially announced three new kits for The Sims 4: Restoration Workshop, Golden Years and Kitchen Clutter.
They were all teased on the latest roadmap, but all we knew so far, apart from their names, was their release date – May 1st.
Along with kit details, a special livestream was announced for May 15th, on which developers will join The Sims Creator Springsims. Read the full announcement blog below.
A whole lot of living with the new The Sims 4 Kits
Celebrate more of life’s big moments with these three new Kits in The Sims 4! 🎉 Get your hands dirty as you fix up broken appliances with the new Restoration Workshop Kit. Embrace life’s mess with cookie jars, cereal boxes and grocery bags for your kitchen in the new Kitchen Clutter Kit. And of course, celebrate the late stages of life with the Golden Years Kit, which brings more styles that embrace, well, the Golden Years.
You know the drill! Complete repairs in your handy workshop
With The Sims 4 Restoration Workshop Kit, Sims can take well-loved, broken-down appliances, including reviving🔨 a microwave, coffee maker, refrigerator and stove with the Handiness Skill. Restore the appliance to its former glory, and make it fully functional again.
Danny Kovacs, Game Designer on the Kit, recalls the clutter of the home garage workshops he’s grown up in. “I find the combination of clutter and utility objects gives the perfect creative atmosphere for your Sim when pondering a next project. Will they tell the story of a Fixer Upper’ and repair all of the Astroluxe appliances. Or tell the story of an artisan making fine crafted goods at their workstation.”
Want to create a space for your Sim to get down to business? We’ve got you covered! Build out your workshop for your handy Sim with modular shelves loaded with tools, woodworking benches that are coated in a thick layer of dust, even water heaters, fuse box and functional floor fan.
Celebrate a storied life of accomplishment with styles for Elders
It’s time for elder Sims to finally(!) enjoy the fruits of their labor. Over the years, these Sims have cultivated their unique styles and personalities. With The Sims 4 Golden Years Kit, Elder Sims will be able to express their individuality.
Elder Sims can celebrate their long and interesting lives by dressing in styles that are made for their life stage. From leisurely walks in the garden to a light workout session at the gym, there are comfortable clothing options for every type of activity. Even more, Elder Sims can accessorize by having glasses 👓 with eyewear retainers (don’t want to misplace those), along with toupees, gardening gloves and more.
Cooking up a cluttered kitchen!
Forgot your dishes 🍽️ on the drying rack? Left an open cereal box on the counter? The kitchen is the hub of family life. Make yours look lived-in with The Sims 4 Kitchen Clutter Kit with lunchboxes, a kitchen timer, recipe tablet and much more!
Danny fondly remembers the family kitchen that he grew up in and used those memories of cooking together, learning new skills, and spending time together to inform the items in this Kit. “I smiled pretty big the first time I saw the clutter in-game and thought, ‘This looks just like home.’ From the stack of dishes waiting to be put away, to the slightly chaotic spice rack, to food containers and grocery bags scattered across the counter. A kitchen that feels lived in gives a cozy vibe. And it’s not just for show! Grab a snack straight from the cookie jar or cereal box, pack a meal with the functional lunchbox, or do that grocery run by purchasing ingredients directly from the grocery bag.”
A whole lot of living occurs in the kitchen, from a refrigerator with colorful magnets and creative drawings to the overflowing groceries, bottles of cleaning supplies and strewn dishtowels, all can showcase stories of a busy family.
The Sims 4 Restoration Workshop, Golden Years and Kitchen Clutter Kits will be available on May 1, 2025 on EA app™, Epic Games Store and Steam®, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One systems.
