What if this is as good as it gets? With no full explanation yet on the rumors of The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy being the possible last expansion pack for The Sims 4, signifying the end of a very long era in The Sims Franchise, EA and The Sims Team have gone “all out”… in a way. This change is in the form of bundling the upcoming expansion pack purchase with the standard pre-order bonuses, but they also threw in two kits; The Sims 4 Silver Screen Kit, and The Sims 4 Tea Time Solarium Kit.
The last year or so, we’ve seen an intense increase in releases of DLC for the Sims 4. Another noticeable trend is the new tendency to bundle items together for purchase, often for a limited time. While this is somewhat similar to the Pre-Order bonuses we typically see with most expansion pack releases, we’re also seeing this in the form of many kit bundles… like the initial Bikini Bottom Bundle from early December and the recently released slew of kit bundles including the Playdate Bundle, Gothic Grandeur Bundle, Warm Beginnings Bundle, Elevated Everyday Bundle, and the Creative Sparks Bundle.
However, these kits are a tad different. They can technically be obtained for free… if you’re planning on buying The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy. When purchasing The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy Grand Bundle, for the same cost as a standard expansion pack, you receive three pre-order bonus items, The Sims 4 Silver Screen Kit, and The Sims 4 Tea Time Solarium Kit. However, the kits will also be available individually for the standard $4.99 USD price tag.
The Royalty & Legacy Grand Bundle is another limited time item; If you’re interested in getting all the items it contains, it will be available until March 15th, 2026.

Our The Sims 4 Silver Screen Kit Review
I think that this kit being bundled in a larger set may have done it a bit of a disservice, but I also don’t believe its the greatest kit we’ve ever seen. The items are well-crafted, feel glamorous, and fit the “silver screen” vibe… however, I am surprised most of these items are not part of The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy. I’m not normally one to argue “This should have been part of XYZ Pack”, but these feel more matched in terms of swatches, especially on the jewelry, and for theming.
However, it is a very nice kit! I can always appreciate a good clothing kit when so many items in the base game and older DLC for The Sims 4 have aged in a not-so-positive way. These did help add more items for male and masculine sims, while so many DLCs tend to lean towards feminine sims. These are great new additions for formal wear and party wear.
Overall, I’d give this kit something like a 7/10. I can take it or leave it. I like the quality of the items but feel there’s something lacking overall. But, it’s a great addition if you need more items that are on the more formal or vintage side!
