The Sims 4 Yard Charm Kit Review: What’s Inside the New Ravasheen Set
On February 26, 2026, The Sims 4 received a new kit, Yard Charm Kit — a Build/Buy set focused on front porches and outdoor spaces with a neat DIY-inspired aesthetic. Created by Ravasheen, this release is less about gameplay and more about the small details that make a home’s exterior feel finished: house numbers, signs, pathways, and decorative yard clutter.
Release date and price
Yard Charm Kit is paid DLC for The Sims 4 and requires the base game. It launched on Steam on February 26, 2026 and is priced at $4.99, although the final cost may vary depending on your region and platform.

What’s included in The Sims 4 Yard Charm Kit
The kit is entirely focused on Build/Buy Mode and outdoor design. Everything here is made for exterior spaces: porches, walkways, entry areas, and small corners of the yard where Sims can relax.
One of the clearest focal points in the official description is the set of illuminated house numbers, which immediately tells you what this kit is trying to do. It is built to make the front of the house feel more complete and easier to read from the street.
A lot of the objects here work as finishing touches rather than centerpiece items. There is a welcome mat, two path or tile options, a hanging bell, decorative lighting pieces, and smaller landscaping details. Overall, the set leans heavily into small-scale objects that can be mixed and layered together.
Alongside the décor, the catalog also includes a garden bench, a chaise lounge, and a couple of small tables.
A decorative kit with limited functionality
Expectations were fairly high for a kit created with Ravasheen, mostly because players associate her name with highly functional custom content. That makes Yard Charm Kit feel a little surprising: instead of new gameplay ideas or clever utility objects, it comes across as a much more straightforward décor pack.
That does not automatically make it bad, but it does make it easier to skip. The standout feature is clearly the custom house number concept, while the rest of the kit is mostly made up of aesthetic outdoor pieces rather than must-have additions.
Whether it is worth buying will depend on how much you care about exterior decorating. SimsCommunity gave the kit a 3/10 and did not recommend it for most players, except for those who specifically want this kind of minimalist outdoor décor and the ability to customize house numbers.
