What are Sims 4 kits?
A kit is the smallest paid add-on for The Sims 4. Most kits add one set of furniture or one set of clothes. A few kits also add a small amount of new gameplay.
EA calls kits “mini collections of content made to boost your playstyle.” The first three kits came out on March 2, 2021. EA often releases two kits on the same day. Every kit is digital only, and every kit needs the base game.
The Sims Wiki sorts kits into two groups. Maxis makes the normal kits. Custom content creators make the Creator Kits, and EA sells them. The two groups have the same size and the same price range.
How are kits different from stuff, game, and expansion packs?
Kits are smaller than all three other pack types. The table shows the four types from the biggest to the smallest. The Steam prices are for one example of each type, and we read them on October 27, 2026.
| Pack type | What it adds | Example Steam price |
|---|---|---|
| Expansion pack | A new world, big new systems, and many items | $39.99 (Cottage Living) |
| Game pack | One themed experience, smaller than an expansion pack | $19.99 (Spa Day) |
| Stuff pack | Clothes and objects, often with 1 to 3 gameplay objects | $9.99 (Cool Kitchen Stuff) |
| Kit | One small set of items or clothes | $4.99 (Book Nook Kit) |
For the big packs, read our guide to every Sims 4 expansion pack. To pick a pack by your play style, use the Sims 4 pack picker.

How much do Sims 4 kits cost?
Kits are the cheapest pack type. On Steam, most kits cost $4.99. We read these Steam prices on October 27, 2026:
- Most kits, for example the Book Nook Kit and the Music Den Kit: $4.99.
- The Clueless Capsule Kit and the Mean Girls Capsule Kit: $3.99 each.
- The two Lady Bridgerton’s Masquerade kits: $6.99 each.
Prices on the EA app and on consoles can be different, and sales change them. Check the EA kits page before you buy.
Some kits also cost Moola. Moola is the virtual money of the new in-game Marketplace. EA says that 200 Moola starts at $1.99. You cannot earn Moola in the game, and EA gives no refunds for it.
The base game is free, but every kit needs it. Read is The Sims 4 free to see what the base game includes.
Which Sims 4 kits are worth it?
The kits that add gameplay give the most for the price. Most kits only add items, so buy those only if you like the style.
Kits that add gameplay
- Bust the Dust: dust builds up in the home, dust bunnies appear, and Sims clean with vacuums. It adds the aspirations Perfectly Pristine and Fabulously Filthy.
- Restoration Workshop: Sims use the Handiness skill to repair four old appliances. The Sims Wiki calls it the first gameplay kit since Bust the Dust.
- Comfy Gamer: it adds an alarm clock and a computer tower. With the tower on a desk, Sims can play a game called Sims Forever.
Handiness is the key skill for Restoration Workshop. Our guide to Sims 4 skills shows how to raise it.
Kits that players like
Gfinity ranks Blooming Rooms as the best furniture kit. Its plants help the environment need of your Sims. Gfinity ranks Incheon Arrivals as the best clothing kit, for its modern Korean styles.

Before you buy an item kit, look at custom content. Our Sims 4 CC guide shows where to find it and how to install it.
Do Sims 4 kits work on PS4, PS5, and Xbox?
Yes. The Sims Wiki lists every kit for PC, Mac, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. This is true for the Creator Kits too.
On console, buy kits in the in-game Marketplace. EA Help says that console players can look at the Marketplace on the web. They cannot buy or download content there. Link your console account to your EA Account first.
Moola does not move between PlayStation and Xbox. For other limits on console, read Sims 4 on console vs PC.
Did EA change Sims 4 kits in 2026?
Yes. Since March 17, 2026, EA sells kits in The Sims 4 Marketplace, an in-game store. The store also sells Maker Packs, which are sets of items from custom content creators.
EA Help says that you can buy select kits with Moola in the game. Some kits need real money. You can buy all kits with real money in the EA app or on Steam. Kits that you owned before the change stay in your library.
EA did not change the other pack types. The EA store still lists Dine Out, Spa Day, and Outdoor Retreat as game packs. We checked this on October 27, 2026.
To add a kit to your game after you buy it, follow how to install Sims 4 packs.
Where does LifeSim fit?
LifeSim is a free life sim in your browser and on iPhone. It does not fit if you want new furniture or clothes for your Sims, because it has no kits and no packs to buy. It fits if you want a life where the people talk back and remember you. Read about the LifeSim life simulator or see more games like The Sims.
