The Brazilian Carnaval is one of the most iconic celebrations in the Southern Hemisphere, if not the world. While the physical world is still waiting for massive celebrations and social events like Carnaval to become the norm again, Simmers are holding their breath for a whole other reason; Carnaval is headed to The Sims 4 in the form of the Carnaval Streetwear Kit.
The Brazilian-inspired kit is due to be released into the virtual world of The Sims 4 today, February 3, and for passionate Simmers, it means much more than a few new items of clothing for Create-A-Sim (CAS). Electronic Arts and Maxis partnered with Pabllo Vittar, a Brazilian singer-songwriter, advocate for inclusivity and social change and lover of all things Carnaval to assist with designing the items in the pack. Pabllo says that Carnaval has always been a festival of unity, and that’s the kind of energy this kit carries within the Sims 4 community, even before its release.
Concept art for the kit has already been released, as well as a teaser video posted to social media by the Sims team. The video shows various sims rocking out to Pabllo’s iconic electronic dance anthem, Buzina while showcasing some of the items featured in the new kit. The theme for the kit is neon colors, cutouts, and copious amounts of mesh. Anyone looking to recreate the glamor and extravagance of Carnaval will not be disappointed.
The Sims 4 is notorious for being a watered-down variant of older Sims games. Still, including packs like this will forever change the Sims 4 landscape, adding color, depth, and the ability to truly ‘play with life’ as the famous catchphrase goes.
