It seems that The Sims 4 Kits are returning to official Steam and EA App storefronts, per the latest leaked message.
EA Community Managers were caught once again with a private note to Sims Creators, this time instructing them about the availability of The Sims 4 Marketplace coming to Consoles today. As well as release notes about Kits leaving Xbox and Playstation stores – but rejoining EA App and Steam once again.
This means that The Sims 4 Kits releases will be available for purchase on EA App and Steam without the “Moola-only” exclusivity. Which is now imposed exclusively for Playstation and Xbox players.
I’ve just now checked my EA App and it seems all The Sims 4 Kits are now appearing in the launcher. As noted in the private letter to Sims Creators, this is done immediately for EA App users and is expected to arrive for Steam players on April 20th.
There’s no information as of now if this will carry over to consoles again. We know how often and often the development trajectory of this game changes so nothing’s out of the question!
