Another round of Marketplace Maker packs has arrived, with Thursdays seemingly becoming the regular day for Maxis and EA to update the in-game store. This time, we\u2019re taking a look at The Sims 4 Modern Basics by Miiko, an exclusive Create-a-Sim CC set inspired by modern streetwear commonly seen in city centres and often associated with celebrity style. The pack is priced at 300 Moola ($3 USD).<\/p>\n

This Maker pack includes 16 new items for both masculine and feminine frames. While it may seem like it offers a wide variety of clothing, some pieces are shared between both, meaning there are fewer unique items than it might initially appear.<\/p>\n

Take a Look at the Included Clothes<\/p>\n

As we said, The Sims 4 Modern Basics Maker Pack brings sixteen new Create A Sim items, all focused on modern Sims who love wide-length clothes and keep their identities on cover. The set is made up of 3 tops, 6 bottoms, a pair of shoes, and 4 accessories (2 pairs of socks, 1 pair of earrings, and glasses). Also, bring new nails.<\/p>\n

Some Free Alternatives to Choose From!<\/p>\n

Dahlia Set by Serenity<\/p>\n

This free CC set by Serenity is an all-female pack designed for Sims who lean into modern, streetwear-inspired fashion. The set includes 12 items that follow a similar style to the Marketplace pack, but stands out by offering more accessories, such as necklaces, and a slightly more polished, formal touch.<\/p>\n

Tailored Collection II by Rusty\u2019s<\/p>\n

This free CC set is designed for both masculine and feminine frames, offering a more tailored and formal approach compared to the previous pack. It includes five full outfits, each built as complete looks rather than individual pieces.<\/p>\n

Urban City by Rusty\u2019s<\/p>\n

This set, also created by Rusty\u2019s, leans more towards a streetwear style, similar to the Miiko Maker Pack. It includes a total of five items: two tops, two pairs of pants, and one hairstyle, offering a more casual and mix-and-match approach.<\/p>\n

Our Review of The Sims 4 Modern Basics Maker Pack<\/p>\n

Overall, this Maker Pack feels more in line with its price point compared to others in the Marketplace. Its modern aesthetic brings a slightly fresher direction to Create-a-Sim, with pieces like the chunky boots standing out as the clear highlight, much like how official EA kits often include one defining item that carries the set.<\/p>\n

That said, the pack does raise some concerns. There is a noticeable amount of asset repetition between masculine and feminine frames, even if the chosen clothing style naturally leans towards more unisex pieces such as blazers, trousers, and thick-soled shoes. While this design choice makes sense visually, it can still make the overall offering feel more limited than expected.<\/p>\n

Some additions, like the new nails, are appreciated, although they do not always seem to fit perfectly with the Sims\u2019 hands in-game. The variation between certain items also feels somewhat minimal, particularly in cases like the skirt, where the differences between versions are not especially significant.<\/p>\n

Within the current Marketplace context, this remains a somewhat tricky pack to evaluate. It introduces interesting ideas and a cohesive style, yet still reflects some of the broader concerns surrounding value and content variety. Even so, it manages to come across as one of the more approachable entries.<\/p>\n
