The next The Sims 4 kits are all about resting and relaxing. There’s plenty of DLC for The Sims 4, which ranges from big, game-changing expansions to smaller and more aesthetically focused kits. With the Riviera Retreat and Cozy Bistro kits, players will be able to create new poolside set-ups, or customize a cozy bistro to their tastes.
The pool used to be a much scarier spot for Sims to hang out, back in the days when players could simply delete a ladder and watch their Sims haplessly drown. Now, they can pull themselves out by themselves. The Riviera Retreat kit is all about creating archways, stucco tiles, wicker lounge chairs, and vine-covered pergolas. This is a great way to create a little vacation resort in your Sim’s backyard, especially for players who don’t want to pack up and go on vacation in another game world.
Meanwhile, the Cozy Bistro kit is meant to create a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Sims can start their own restaurant business, employing chefs and setting the price. It can be a little tough to create specialized restaurants without using some of the kits available, since so much of the base furniture is designed for a residential home. Or, you could customize your own home kitchen with these bistro tables and vintage wall decor, depending on your Sim’s business savvy.
These two kits will be available on May 30 for all platforms on The Sims 4 Gallery, which includes custom builds and rooms created by other players. We’re still waiting for solid news on the eventual The Sims 5, which is currently code-named Project Rene. But while we wait for concrete details to emerge on the sequel, Electronic Arts is continuing to support The Sims 4 with DLC, including these kits.
