What the kit adds
The Desert Luxe Kit is a Build/Buy kit for The Sims 4 centered on Southwestern desert style. It brings 27 new items designed around outdoor living spaces, with pieces crafted from stone and wood in warm, understated tones. Most items come in nine color swatches, and a few offer up to twelve, all staying within a palette of browns, beiges, blacks, and whites with the occasional faded earth tone.
The kit was released in September 2022 and was briefly available for free through mid-October 2022, just before The Sims 4 base game went free to play.
Outdoor furniture and décor
The kit is built around patio and outdoor entertaining. A concrete-and-wood grill, a bar counter, and an outdoor fireplace form the core of any desert patio setup. Seating options include a lounge chair, a standard chair, two couches (one of which can be configured as a sectional), and a patterned bar stool. Three end tables and a curved-rock console table with open arched spaces round out the surfaces.
For lighting, the kit includes a small disc-shaped floor light, a hanging wicker pendant light available in three sizes, and a ceiling fan. Long curtains with a wooden track-rod design come in versions for short, medium, and tall wall heights, filtering light while keeping a sleek, modern look.
Build mode pieces
Six build mode items give lots a desert-resort feel. A sand concrete-textured floor and matching wall set the foundation, while a slatted wood awning provides shade. Two window styles, one wood-slatted and one concrete-framed, pair with a standout four-tile-wide sliding glass door that works especially well around pool areas and patios.
If you want to get the most out of placing these items, the Sims 4 build mode guide covers every core building tool in the game.
