Sims 4 Kit Guide

You loved our Sims 4 Pack Guide. Now it’s time to introduce our Sims 4 Kit Guide! With a total of 23 kits now available for The Sims 4, it was time to put together a separate Sims 4 Kit Guide to help players decide which kits are worth adding to their collections and which ones just aren’t worth their money. Like our pack guide, this Sims 4 Kit guide is designed to be an unbiased, objective resource so you can decide for yourself if a kit is worth adding to your DLC collection or not. Why? Because you know best what you like. Our Sims 4 Kit Guide is just a resource for you to find what you like.

What are Kits?

So before we get into this Sims 4 Kit guide, let’s break down what kits are. They are quite different from expansion packs, game packs, and stuff packs. This is why they have their own separate guide.

Kits come in three categories; gameplay kits, CAS kits, and Build/Buy kits. To date, there has only been one gameplay kit ever released; Bust the Dust. Since then, all kits have been either CAS or Build/Buy kits so it’s entirely plausible that gameplay kits are dead and we’ll never see another one. However, since we do have a gameplay kit, our Sims 4 Kit Guide will still go over gameplay kits.

The one thing all kits have in common is that they are designed to satisfy niche interests or fill in gaps in the game’s existing content. None of the kits are necessarily crucial to have unless you happen to really love what’s in the kit. They are all also priced at $5 USD or your country’s equivalent currency. So keep that in mind while browsing our Sims 4 Kit guide.

  • CAS Kits: These kits contain clothes and accessories for Sims. Typically, they have anywhere between 20-30 items centred around a particular fashion theme. Sometimes these kits contain more unique items like tattoos and face piercings. They also usually come with at least one styled look. CAS Kits do not contain anything other than CAS items.
  • Build/Buy Kits: These kits contain furniture, décor, clutter, and/or architectural items for the Build/Buy catalogue. Some kits focus exclusively on decorative clutter; others have more of an emphasis on large furniture pieces and architecture. These kits typically come with about 20-30 pieces and at least one styled room.
  • Gameplay Kits: These kits focus on bringing small pieces of new gameplay to the game. Unlike other kits, they don’t come with very many objects. The focus is on adding some new gameplay mechanics. They may contain things like new aspirations and new activities for your Sims to enjoy. Typically, the only objects in a gameplay kit are just what’s needed for the gameplay.

With all that in mind, let’s start with some recommendations based on your unique interests in this Sims 4 Kit Guide!

Below you will find the full list of all kits currently available for the game in our Sims 4 Kit guide, organized by what category they fall under.
