EA and Maxis have unveiled two exciting new additions to The Sims 4 universe: the Riviera Retreat and Cozy Bistro kits, set to be released on May 30. These latest offerings promise to expand players’ creative horizons and enhance their virtual worlds with fresh content and experiences.
The Sims 4 has enjoyed a steady stream of expansions and DLC packs since its launch in 2014, and the introduction of these kits further enriches the gameplay possibilities for players. The Riviera Retreat Kit invites players to immerse themselves in “natural serenity,” offering a range of tools and features to craft elegant fountains, luxurious pools, and tranquil countryside escapes. With new stucco wall textures, waterfalls, and stylish furnishings like lounge chairs and pergolas, players can create their ideal oasis and elevate their outdoor spaces to new heights of sophistication.
On the culinary front, the Cozy Bistro Kit caters to players eager to elevate their restaurant game. Inspired by the charm of old-world European eateries, this DLC pack provides players with the means to design and customize cozy bistros brimming with character and charm. From classic architecture to authentic furnishings, players can recreate the ambiance of a bygone era and immerse their Sims in the rich culinary culture of centuries past.
With the addition of these kits, The Sims 4’s lineup expands to a total of 31 offerings, providing players with a diverse array of content to explore and enjoy. While pricing details have yet to be confirmed, past trends suggest that each kit will be available for $4.99, offering players affordable access to new gameplay features and customization options.
To inspire creativity and showcase the possibilities of the new kits, Maxis will release two example destinations on The Gallery: The Cozy Bistro and Riviera Retreat Poolhouse. These curated spaces will provide players with inspiration and ideas for incorporating the new content into their own virtual worlds, encouraging experimentation and imagination.
The announcement of these new kits comes on the heels of EA and Maxis’ commitment to improving The Sims 4’s overall performance and addressing known issues. With a dedicated team focused on bug fixes and performance enhancements, players can look forward to a smoother and more polished gameplay experience in the coming months, ensuring that The Sims 4 continues to captivate and delight players around the world.
