Trying to keep up with the autumn Maker Packs without emptying your Moola balance? Two more arrived on The Sims 4 Marketplace on Thursday, November 12, 2026: Apple Acres by SolunaRae (10 Build Mode items, 200 Moola) and Cottage Farmer’s Market by SugarCookieQueen (24 Build Mode items, 500 Moola). Both only need the base game.
The problem is the pace. This is the third Maker Pack drop since November 5, after Autumn Dining Room and The Cozy Harvest Collection and The Essence Candle Collection on November 9. Buying all five packs from those three drops costs 1,700 Moola. So here is what each of the two new packs gives you, and which one to pick if you only want one.

Apple Acres by SolunaRae
Apple Acres is a small orchard set. EA’s store page lists rustic signs, apple-picking essentials, picnic furnishings and harvest decor, in warm woods and plaids. The key art shows a ladder, a hanging orchard sign, a chalkboard, a crate of apples, a plaid picnic rug, a barrel table with a pie and caramel apples, and a hand pump. Everything is filed under Build Mode. There are no Create a Sim items.
- Best for: one finished corner of a lot, such as an orchard picnic spot or a small farm stand, for the lowest price in this drop.
- Skip it if: you want enough pieces to furnish a whole community lot. Ten items will not do that on their own.

Cottage Farmer’s Market by SugarCookieQueen
This is the bigger pack, and it is SugarCookieQueen’s second in ten days: Cottage Flower Shop came out on November 2. EA’s overview describes 24 items built around fresh fruit in wooden crates plus preserved and homemade goods: jams, cordials, sun-dried apples and orange wheels. The features list also promises color options for all four Seasons, from oak and peach tones to honey and charcoal.
One thing to know before you buy: according to SimsCommunity, the food in these packs is decorative only, because the Marketplace does not currently allow modded items such as custom recipes. EA’s own pages list every item as a Build Mode item, which fits that. Your Sims will not cook or eat any of it.
- Best for: players who want to dress a full market lot, or stock a pantry with clutter, in one purchase.
- Skip it if: you expected a working market stall. The pack adds objects to place, not new gameplay.

Which one is worth the Moola?
Per item, there is almost no difference: 20 Moola for Apple Acres and about 21 for Cottage Farmer’s Market. That is the same range as last week’s Autumn Dining Room (20) and The Cozy Harvest Collection (about 23). So the choice comes down to how much space you want to fill. Apple Acres is the cheap way to add an orchard corner to a lot you already have. Cottage Farmer’s Market is the one to get if you are building a market from scratch, and it pairs naturally with Cottage Flower Shop from the same maker.
If you already bought The Cozy Harvest Collection, look closely at the item lists on EA’s pages first. All of these packs lean on crates, plaid and harvest clutter. Our list of every Sims 4 pack explains how Maker Packs differ from kits and the bigger packs.
Do Maker Packs break with patches?
No. Maker Packs are official content delivered through the EA app and update with the game. Script mods are different: check our Sims 4 mod status tracker before you load a save after a patch.
