Removal of Official The Sims 4 Kits From Console Stores Starts Now

The Sims Team pulls back The Sims 4 Kits on Playstation and Microsoft Stores in preparation for The Marketplace.

The Sims 4 Marketplace was released less than a month ago on March 17th, 2026. The introduction of this in-game hub for Maker Packs and Content also introduced a significant change in purchasing The Sims 4 Kits.

Today, The Sims Team announced suddenly that all The Sims 4 Kits have been removed from the Playstation Store. These official and Creator-made Kits will also be removed from the Microsoft Store on April 16th.

Although EA hasn’t clarified the exact date of The Marketplace coming to The Sims 4 Console, we can assume that it should happen in the next few days considering the removal of this huge DLC catalogue.

Console Simmers,

As we prepare Marketplace for all platforms, Kits will be delisted from the PlayStation Store on April 14 & Microsoft Store on April 16. They’ll be available in the Marketplace when it launches soon.

Thanks for your patience while we work with our partners!

Getting The Sims 4 Kits content, as it was first introduced with the PC / Mac Update, is now available exclusively through the Moola currency in the game. This gives you the advantage of downloading and installing Kits right away, with the disadvantage of all of that now being hosted on The Marketplace.

The Sims Team hasn’t clarified yet on what will happen to players who want to access and download purchased Kits content in the meantime. We’ll keep you posted once we know more information about this no-Kits limbo for Console players.

So that means players can’t access purchased kits in this time? They should all get some discount for not being able to access their purchased content… this is why I strongly dislike online purchases for gales. They can pull of acts like this and the customer just has to take it whereas in times with games on physical format wouldn’t have this issue.

I know it’s just 2 days but it’s just a big hard no.

They don’t lose access to the kits they already have purchased. They just can’t purchase any new kits at the moment.

Not from what I got. I believe any content you own won’t be unavailable or messed with, just anything you don’t own.
But we all know EA isn’t the best at communication so who knows…
