The Sims 4 Stuff Packs are officially BACK in Business and we couldn’t be more thrilled!

EA and Maxis revealed during Behind The Sims Episode 3 that Stuff Packs are returning to the roadmap timeline releases of The Sims 4 Series. That means that you can also expect future Stuff Packs being released again in the forseeable future!

Anyways, the team revealed the upcoming Stuff Pack that’s titled Home Chef Hustle Stuff. In this Pack you’ll be able to expand the ways you cook inside your home, as well as enjoy a plethora of new Create A Sim and Build Items.

It seems that Sims 4 Stuff Packs and Sims 4 Kits will co-exist together, but personally I still feel like Stuff Packs are a much better deal for Simmers. But each to its own of course!

The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack: First Reveal

It was revealed during BTS that The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle is the 19th Stuff Pack releasing in this series. The Pack follows a regular format of previous Sims 4 Stuff Packs where you get a fair amount of Build and CAS items, along with a little bit of Gameplay that follows the theme.

In this Pack, you’ll get to enjoy a bundle of new recipes that you can make. Including objects like the wafflemaker, new kitchen items and clothing that will match your homey cooking lifestyle.

Down below you can read the full transcript from the first look reveal of The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle:

Well, I’m happy to share that there’s a new Sims 4 Stuff Pack on the menu, and it’s my privilege to introduce you to just a few of the newest members of Maxis that are developing it.

Lauren: Simmers, welcome.This is your first look at The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack. The team has been hard at work to bring this pack to life.

Our new teammates in Europe have been working closely with longtime members of The Sims team to learn about and innovate on how we make packs.You’ll see lots of new faces today, but some familiar as well, like Graham and Cheyenne, who’s going to talk about the art direction of Home Chef Hustle.

Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack: First Look

Cheyenne: The artists and I were inspired by the beautiful kitchens of various areas of Europe, and reference shared with us from our EU teammates.We wanted to bring some new colors and fresh new objects in addition to our new appliances. Also, ingenious things that we don’t have here in North America, like a dish drain over the sink.


Lauren: There is a whole lot of stuff in this stuff pack. New small appliances, new ways to make money, new ways of cooking, new BB, new cas, and so much more. Listing it all here and now would be a bit of a mouthful, but the team and I know the perfect feature to start with.

Mathilda: When your Sim wants something quick, but delicious, for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, the Waffle Maker is the perfect appliance. With this feature, we wanted to represent the Nordic style of waffles that I and some of my other teammates grew up with. It’s a quite thin and crispy waffle, and it’s usually made in a waffle ironthat produces heart-shaped waffles.

Berni: We have included a variety of flavors; from some more typical Nordic-inspired flavors, like cured fish and dill, to some more familiar to our North American friends, like chicken and waffles. We’ve added so many recipes from many cultures over the years.

Sims 4 Stuff Packs bring new Base Game features!

Lauren: But, over time, the recipe list has become a little trickier to use. So, we’ve heard you, and we’ve added filters to the base game recipe list. You can now find the meal you’re looking for in a fraction of the time!

Bella: We were trying to bring together everything and categorize things in a way that made sense with The Sims traits and responses to the food in mind.


The updated recipe UI isn’t the only thing coming to the base game alongside this pack.

Get ready to cook cupcakes in the comfort of your own oven, rather than the cupcake machine.


Jess: For this pack, I mostly worked on cute accessories and casual clothes for your foodie Sims.

There’s a whisk-themed set of earrings and necklace. I’m also really fond of this jumpsuit combo I made, because it’s definitely something I would wear in real life.


We’ve had so much fun developing this pack, and we have put a lot of heart into each of its features. We hope you enjoy the experience of becoming a home chef.

Thank you so much for tuning in to our first look. And now, here’s a little sneak peek.
