Two new kits for The Sims 4 launched on June 1st 2023, and thanks to the EA Creators’ Network, we got a chance to have a look. This post will look at The Sims 4 Grunge Revival Kit, which is a CAS kit.
I have to admit I was really excited for this kit. Not only was I around for Grunge the first time (I was in my 20s in the 1990s) but I also live in the greater Seattle area. Grunge has never completely left here.
And I have to say, I’m pleased with what’s here. The denim has an acid washed option and has plenty of decorative rips, and there’s lots of nice dark colors and plaid. We were reacting to the excessive neon of he 1980s, you know.
I especially like the short painted nails. I’ve been avoiding the fingernails in game because most if not all of them are too long for me. But I will use these.
See the gallery below to see the items in the pack. Note that all come with several swatches.
The Styled Look
This Dress is tagged Everyday and Hot Weather
One of the two pairs of shoes
Another of the two pairs of shoes
I like the belt detail on these jeans. We ALL did this in the 90s. And yes, they do have an acid-washed swatch, too.
Plaid trousers
Board Short Length Trousers
Jean Shorts
If you’re wondering if we all wore drab colours like this in the 90s…yes. Yes we did. Have you seen pictures of the 80s? So much neon. Had to be different!
Ah, flannel. So much flannel.
I personally never had a mesh top like this, but I knew folks who did!
THis denim jacket is also familiar
Oversized short sleeved shirt
Oversized long sleeved shirt
Ah yes, the oversized hoodie. A staple of an self-respecting grunge wardrobe
Also an oversized shirt, but wadded and tucked to fit it a bit. (Yes, we totally did this)
Head accessories – the necklace is one item. I actually still have several of the ear cuff earrings like this that I used to wear, back in the day. The glasses and hat also come with this kit.
Some of the accessories with the pack. Short painted nails, a wrist Scrunchie (yes, many of us totally did this) and a pair of short leggings
Right Arm Tattoo
Left Arm Tattoo
Overall, my GenX self is really pleased with what’s here. I’d hoped for a radio station, but alas, it is not to be. As we said back in the day, “Whatever”.
