The Sims 4 Autumn Apparel Kit Review: Happy Fall, Y’all!

Sweater weather is here!

The Sims 4 Autumn Apparel Kit is finally out, released October 9th! This kit was originally part of the September to December Roadmap leak that revealed Adventure Awaits. Only a week after the release of The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits, The Sims 4 Autumn Apparel Kit has dropped with 27 new items to bundle your sims up in to brave the brisk fall air!

The Kit Description & Info

The description of the kits contents and the general vibe of the items, per the EA App and the multiple other platforms to purchase the Sims 4 and Sims 4 DLC…

A Chill in The Air

When it’s too late for beach wear and too early to break out the snow shoes, this kit has you covered with comfy sweaters, matching beanie & scarf combos, and more cold weather looks. Embrace the chill with luxurious fabrics and rich autumnal hues.

Cozy and Classy

These sophisticated, layered fashions will keep Sims both comfy and put-together with pieces that exude charm, like a wide brimmed hat, wearable purse, and stylish boots.

The kit comes with 27 new assets, entirely for teens through elders and mainly focused on clothing items and accessories. While some items are duplicates between the frames, I did find that both feminine and masculine sims had some unique choices outside of sharing accessories.

The Sims 4 Autumn Apparel Kit Review

While I do think these pieces work really well when you have a large collection of packs, I do not personally feel that this kit stands well on its own. For the 100th DLC for the Sims 4, it falls flat. While the kit does have some gems, the pattern and swatch choices feel out of place and can struggle with matching or coordinating outfits. The choices of pastel greens, blues, and purples stuck out the most.

Although some options do come with matching patterns, allowing for coordination that can pull an outfit together.

I absolutely love Autumn, and I always enjoy seeing it in my sims wardrobes and playing through the season as well, but I do believe this kit struggles to stand on its own unless you have other DLC available to fill in the gaps. I find this is standard among kits, but certain kits like the Essential Glam kit did so much more. The Sims 4 Essential Glam kit completely changed the makeup selection and expanded the players horizons compared to the options from the 2014 Base Game release.

For the Sims 4 Autumn Apparel Kit, I would have maybe liked to see more stocking options, a bulkier scarf, more beanies, etc. I am, however, excited to see what modders and custom content creators will do with recoloring these pieces, and using them to create even more apparel items.

With the 27 assets, including any duplicates in between the masculine and feminine frames, I would personally give this kit somewhere around 5.5/10. I love mixing and matching the provided items with my pre-existing collection of CAS items, but it does feel required to see as much variety as I would hope to see with this kit.

The Sims 4 Autumn Apparel Kit is out now, as of October 9th, for $4.99 USD or your currency’s equivalent. It is available through the EA App, Steam, Epic Games, Playstation Store, and the Xbox Store.
