The Sims 4 Marketplace will get weekly updates, free Country Kitchen Kit details confirmed

The Sims 4 players now have two numbers that matter right away: the Marketplace is set to refresh weekly, and the free Country Kitchen Kit must be claimed by May 29 at 10 a.m. PT. For anyone timing downloads around mod updates, CC sorting, or a tight build schedule, that turns the new store from a one-time novelty into a regular stop inside the game.

EA and The Sims Team said the Marketplace will receive new releases every week, a pace that makes the storefront feel more like a live content feed than a slow promotional shelf. That matters because the new system is built around frequent additions, not occasional drops. Players who want to keep their saves current will need to check the in-game store more often, especially as the catalog expands with Maker Packs and Kits that arrive through the same Marketplace interface.

The free Country Kitchen Kit is the most immediate deadline. It includes 15 Build Mode items and is redeemed inside The Sims 4 Marketplace rather than through a separate code or web claim. EA says players can open the Marketplace from the main menu or in-game through the shopping cart icon, then claim the kit directly on PC, Mac, Xbox, and PlayStation. With the offer ending on May 29 at 10 a.m. PT, the window is long enough to fit into regular play sessions, but not long enough to ignore.

That timing also reflects how quickly EA has pushed the Marketplace across platforms. The Sims Maker Program and the Marketplace were announced on March 3, 2026. The Marketplace launched on PC and Mac on March 17, 2026, then reached PlayStation and Xbox on April 16. EA also tied the rollout to more than 60 quality-of-life bug fixes and gameplay improvements, making the Marketplace part of a broader game update rather than a standalone storefront launch.

EA says the Marketplace is now the official in-game storefront for The Sims 4, with Maker Packs, Expansion Packs, Game Packs, Stuff Packs and Kits all living in one place. On PC, Kits now sit only in the Marketplace and use Moola, the new virtual currency EA introduced to keep pricing consistent across regions and platforms. EA also says Maker Packs can range from three to fifty items, and accepted Makers must be 18 or older, communicate in English, have an account in good standing, avoid embargoed regions and pass a technical review before publishing.

For everyday players, the practical takeaway is clear: the Marketplace is no longer a one-and-done feature. Weekly updates mean a steadier stream of new downloads, while the Country Kitchen Kit’s May 29 deadline gives the current free offer a firm finish line.
