The Sims 4: Modern Retreat Kit

The Sims 4 Modern Retreat Kit was developed by Maxis and released in November 2025. It is published by Electronic Arts and functions as an add-on for The Sims 4. As with other content for the game, this kit is usable on all platforms where The Sims 4 is available, including PC, Mac, PlayStation, and Xbox. The kit belongs to the Creator series, which highlights work produced in collaboration with community creators.

This kit introduces 25 build-and-buy items focused on a serene, contemporary retreat style. The included furnishings feature natural materials, clean lines, and soft, neutral tones designed to evoke a calm, handcrafted look. Among the items are modular seating, layered rugs, room-dividing screens, sculptural tables, and a marble-accented fireplace. The overall design theme combines comfort with an organic, modern feel intended for relaxation spaces and stylish living areas.

Promotion of the Modern Retreat Kit emphasized its collaboration with a community creator known as TudTuds. The announcement and previews were shared through official channels for The Sims franchise and through community-focused news outlets and content creators. Marketing highlighted the kit’s nature-inspired aesthetic and the continued effort to bring fan-driven creativity into official releases for the game.

Reception to the kit has been mixed but generally positive. Players and reviewers praised the cohesive design direction, the texture quality of the items, and the versatility of the furniture pieces for modern builds. Some criticism focused on the functionality of certain items, with comfort ratings and placement options noted as potential drawbacks. Despite these points, many players have regarded the Modern Retreat Kit as a valuable addition for builders seeking a modern, natural design style.
