Build a palace of squalor with Sims 4’s new basement kit

there are two new upcoming kits for the sims 4, Each with a completely different vibe. The Greenhouse Haven kit will add a lush outdoor space for your Sims, while the Basement Treasure kit will let you incorporate your own Gremlin aesthetic with well-worn and “lived-in” items.

As someone who likes to add a level of realism to his Sims gameplay (I added cracks from vampire to pack the game My Sims Shitty College Rental House To really capture the feel of a shabby college rental home), I welcome the “crappy and aged” furniture and decor that will come with basement treasures. The official press release states that the kit will include old trophies and family photos, dusty trinkets and an old TV model. If the photos are accurate, it also looks like there’s going to be a used mattress that can lean against a wall — what’s a basement without that?

Meanwhile, Greenhouse Haven will include gardening objects such as starter seedlings, stacks of pots and hanging flowers, as well as more greenhouse building tools such as glass pane windows and doors.

Both kits will be available on April 20th — so, if you know of any greenhouse and basement-related festivities happening that day, this might be a good time to celebrate. Kits are typically $4.99, a small price to pay for the added oomph of realism.
