Anadius, the well-known Sims 4 leaker with a strong track record, has dropped what looks like another major leak ahead of schedule. According to their recent post, two new kits are arriving in The Sims 4 on August 21: the Grange Mudroom Kit and the Essential Glam Kit. The patch for these kits is reportedly scheduled for August 19, just two days before release.
The Grange Mudroom Kit is quickly gaining attention from fans, especially builders and storytellers. This kit focuses on a part of the house that the base game and other packs have mostly ignored — the mudroom. The leaked description promises a variety of built-in storage pieces, new flooring and walls, as well as realistic clutter items like muddy gum boots, mail piles, and gardening gear.
This kind of detail, especially the focus on realism and daily life, has been largely missing from previous kits. Players who enjoy realistic homes or ranch-style builds will likely appreciate the new options, which could finally make the front door area feel more lived in.
Essential Glam Kit brings more makeup variety to CAS
The Essential Glam Kit, on the other hand, is centered around Create-a-Sim (CAS) and introduces new makeup features. While this type of content is less exciting for PC users with access to custom content, console players will likely welcome the expanded cosmetic options.
According to the description, the kit includes:
- Soft and bold eyeshadows
- Lip glosses and matte lipsticks
- Foundation, contour, and highlight options
- Faux freckles and beauty marks
This kit allows players to transform their Sims’ looks for everything from everyday wear to events like weddings and graduations. It’s not groundbreaking, but it adds some appreciated variation to makeup, especially for those without CC access.
Community still frustrated with ongoing game issues
Despite the excitement over new content, the overall sentiment from the Sims Community hasn’t changed. Many players are voicing frustration that EA continues to release paid content while the core game is still struggling with issues like:
- Save game corruption
- Lag and performance drops
- Aging bugs
- Broken features in live mode and build mode
These aren’t small bugs either. Save file loss has become a frequent concern for players, and many feel that kits and packs are being pushed at the expense of stability.
The kit announcement, while positive for those who want more CAS or build items, is still arriving during a period where many fans believe content releases should be paused until the game is fixed. But with EA continuing its regular release schedule, that doesn’t look likely anytime soon.
What to expect in the Grange Mudroom Kit
Based on the leak, here are some expected items from the Grange Mudroom Kit:
- Built-in shelves and cabinetry
- Functional-looking clutter like boots, bags, and mail
- New walls and floors to match the aesthetic
- Decor suited for suburban and countryside homes
- Possibly new hooks or coat racks
This type of content fits a gameplay style that values realism. For family homes or ranch-style builds, this kit could be a go-to for making the house feel genuinely lived in. Even players who are normally kit-haters have admitted this one sounds worth a look.
Will the kits make up for the game’s current state?
That’s still up for debate. While both the Grange Mudroom Kit and the Essential Glam Kit bring new content, they don’t address the core issues many players have been raising for months. Until EA fixes the bugs, performance issues, and corruption problems, every new kit may continue to feel like a distraction or cash grab rather than a value add.
It’s another reminder of EA’s strategy — keep releasing content, regardless of whether the game is in a good state or not. This doesn’t sit well with many fans who believe stability should come first.
