Toddlers may not be here yet, but a Kids Stuff pack is still next up on The Sims 4 DLC docket. The new content trailer released today shows loads of colorful, playful toys, objects and clothes for child Sims. A Puppet Theater, a Voidcritter Battle Station and a new TV channel are among the most exciting features coming with the Kids Room Stuff Pack , which releases June 28.
…hold on a second, a Void-what? Voidcritters! As the story goes, these cute and occasionally ferocious monsters are mysteriously appearing in your Sims’ world, and it’s up to the children in your family to capture, collect, trade, and train them. Voidcritters are a brand new collection of twenty collectible (duh!) cards, which can be battled against each other in the Voidcritter Battle Station. Each competitor inserts their critter’s card into this electronic arena, and the digital screen springs to life as kids attempt to button mash their way to victory while the battle unfolds. This collectible card game is unlike anything you’ve ever seen in The Sims before. (Via The Sims)
For the first time ever, The Puppet Theater allows little Sims to work on their social skills while having fun at the same time. This can even be a club activity (as can Voidcritter Battles), and adults can join to watch the performance. As the social skills increase, more plays are unlocked – five in total. “Will two friends lost in the woods make it back to safety? Will a monster with razor sharp teeth find living arrangements in a suburban family’s home? Will the dastardly deviant that stole a notebook be brought to justice by the school’s private eye?” the announcement press release teases.
As the title suggests, there’s not much for adults here, but they can enjoy the new radio and TV station: Tween Pop station, and BEtween TV channel. The Sims Team appears to be very generous with this Stuff Pack release, as it includes tons of new wardrobe additions, hairstyles, small trinkets--cars, planes, action figures, various stuffed toys, wall decorations-- and more furniture like shelves, room dividers, beds (unfortunately no bunk bed) and a toy chest.

Also look forward to the ‘Monster under the bed’ feature coming later this week in a free update ahead of the Kids Room Stuff Pack release June 28.
