The Sims 4: Cool Kitchen Stuff

The Cool Kitchen Stuff pack for The Sims 4 was developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts, released on August 11, 2015. It is a smaller stuff pack that requires the base game and was created to expand kitchen-focused décor, appliances and a few playful interactions rather than to introduce major new gameplay systems.

The pack adds sleek stainless steel appliances, frosted glass cabinets, gourmet furnishings and a functional ice cream maker that lets Sims produce gelato, soft serve and sundaes with toppings such as banana slices, whipped cream, sprinkles and chocolate sauce. It also includes new casual fashions and hairstyles to complement the modern kitchen aesthetic and a selection of build/buy items for creating contemporary culinary spaces.

Promotion for Cool Kitchen Stuff used Electronic Arts’ and Maxis’ standard channels, including the game’s store presence, social media announcements and short showcase materials that highlighted the ice cream maker, new kitchen décor and customization options. Community creators and livestreams demonstrated the pack’s visual variety and the fun, food‑centred interactions to show how it could enhance domestic roleplay and family scenes.

Reception was mixed among players and reviewers, with many enjoying the charming novelty of the ice cream maker, the attractive kitchen assets and the way the pack supported cozy household storytelling, while others considered it lightweight compared with larger expansions. Overall the pack found an audience among players who prioritise decorative detail and themed, object-driven interactions rather than deep mechanical additions.
