What can I say? Shonda Rhimes really speaks to me.

Now, look, Im not trying to claim credit here, but Im also not not trying to claim credit, because back when The Sims 4: Royalty and Legacy was first released, I was all over the obvious Bridgerton-inspired take on regency living. Its a great pack in itself, filled with diverse assets, great storytelling features and a host of interesting characters to play with, but its timed release alongside Bridgerton didnt pass me by. I wasnt alone in
that though I think I was one of the few (if not the only) in media to put
my whole being into making a Whistledown-inspired pamphlet to accompany my op-ed (below) but now its officially here, the vindication is sweet to say the least.

Onto the next problem; could this be the collaboration that could finally
sway me on my anti- The Sims crossover agenda? (Image credit: EA / The Sims - Made in Canva) Bridg(erton)ing the gap Hearing that a dedicated set of Bridgerton Kits was on the horizon didnt immediately fill me with confidence: Kits are a hard sell for me due to their limited scope, and I also havent
been particularly inspired by any The Sims tie-ins since the days of The Sims 2: H&M Fashion Stuff.

Perhaps its because the likes of Coach and Moschino arent really my speed as someone who typically shops at, well, H&M or IKEA, and I cant for the life of me think of a single time anything in The Sims 4: SpongeBob's House and The Sims 4: SpongeBob Kid's Room Kits would be remotely useful in-game And dont get me started on Journey to Baatu , which remains the only Game Pack I have yet to purchase. Generally speaking, collaborations havent felt relevant enough to The Sims 4s player base, or at the very least didnt mesh particularly well with the average players playstyle.

With Bridgerton , on the other hand, theres finally a crossover that makes sense at least, if you liked Royalty and Legacy or more generally enjoy playing in historic settings. These new Kits are naturally more focused on Regency-era-inspired items compared to the varied time periods and cultures represented by Royalty and Legacy , but theres still plenty you can make use of with the packs in tandem.

The former features a few arches and windows, a new column, a wall lamp and chandelier, some ballroom decorations, a new fireplace, chair and table, and, naturally, a gazebo to recreate Benedict and Sophies Cinderella-inspired
first meeting from Bridgerton Season 4.

Im a little less hot on the clothing kit; dont get me wrong, each addition is beautifully crafted and replicates the show costumes brilliantly, especially in the dress department for characters like the ever-iconic Lady Danbury and Queen Charlotte. What to read next I thought the Lego smart brick was the worst idea ever then I built it I trapped a clone of my boss on a desert island in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream and it only got weirder from
there It took 18 years, but we finally have the ultimate Lego Batman game Legacy of the Dark Knight is creative, charming, and cohesive

The one pair of shoes added are a little two-dimensional, and the lack of
male mask and hat accessories is a little disappointing, but overall, the level of detail is truly fantastic, and given how busted some older The Sims
4 clothing looks, I will never be seen complaining about a job well done, looks-wise.

Still, Im frustrated that the accessories werent separated out so they could be used in different 'fits. That aside, the added masks are great, the
dresses are gorgeous, and everything comes together with the campy, whimsical flair that I do so miss from previous The Sims games.

Each kit costs $6.99 / 6.49 individually, but for a limited time, you can
grab both in a bundle for $9.99 / 8.99 until August 14th, 2026, which
includes three bonus items to boot. Plus, dont miss the currently active Lady Bridgerton's Masquerade Ball Event for more exclusive items before the event ends on August 14th. The best PC games The top PC games we've tried
