All New Features and Patch Notes in Sims 4 First Fits Kit and Desert Luxe Kit

EA Games is at it again with another kit for Sims 4. After their latest installment of packs, you would think, they were going to simmer down and fix the game. Thankfully, they have released some patch updates to help fix some problems that were happening in High School Years, as well as, other packs that were experiencing issues. On September 1st and September 14th, EA Games will be releasing, what fans were not expecting so soon. That’s the release of a new kit pack called “First Fits” and “Desert Luxe”. Here’s everything you need to know about the patch notes and kits on The Sims 4.

First Fits Kit Sims 4

We focused on improving high school life for your teen sims, but what about the children? That’s where this kit comes into play. First Fits Kit is designed to improve new fashion and clothing for children. The outfits will also be available for toddlers since they’re always ignored. Seriously, we just age our toddlers up the minute they learn how to use the toilet. You’ll have access to a wide range of clothes such as dresses, shirts, pants, shoes, and some accessories. If you’re not really interested in the CAS aspect of the game and you’re more of a builder the next kit is for you.

Desert Luxe Sims 4

This kit is perfect for builders and focuses on build-mode items. The name suggests it’s for fans of the desert and that’s what they’re bringing you. A desert-themed design for your home. If you’re wanting to spice up Oasis Springs then this kit is perfect for you. Other than that, you don’t get anything else besides new build mode items going for a desert vibe. Kits aren’t as big as expansion packs and their purpose is just to add new items into the game. If you’re a builder, some would say the Industrial Loft kit, was the best. Who knows? Perhaps Desert Luxe could be the next Courtyard Oasis kit.

Patch Notes Sims 4

Patch day recently released! It’s either your favorite day or the worst day if you’re using mods. Thankfully, this wasn’t a big patch day so not a lot of mods broke from the patch. It’s always a great idea to double check to avoid breaking your game. This patch is a base game update that fixed some bugs, added new scenarios, and fixed some Sims using their phone way too much while walking. We humans do this but we don’t want a super realistic gameplay. Unless, you’re into that. Here is a list of the bugs that were fixed in the latest patch.
