As an early stuff pack, The Sims 4: Romantic Garden Stuff, like most DLC released at this time, is very niche in theme. It contains a mixture of items very specifically designed to create ornate stone-based outdoor spaces complimented by blossoming foliage. You’ll find benches, statues, archways, and fountains, all designed to evoke a stately home garden feeling.

These objects can all be used in a regular home but many are very grand in design and are better suited to a larger traditional mansion-style build. However, there are some very useful staples that would look at home anywhere, and everything matches perfectly. With this in mind, we take a look at some of the very best items you can only find in Romantic Garden Stuff.

10 Furniture: Wishing Well

The wishing well is the main gameplay item for this pack. It not only looks great but it allows sims to make wishes. You can make an offering and wish for different things from the well in order to boost your happiness, increase your riches, and even change your life.

Just beware that the well doesn’t always fulfill your dreams. If you catch it in a bad mood, demand too much, or offer too little in return, it can turn spiteful. Sims can lose simoleons and sometimes even their lives.

9 Create A Sim: Cute Kids Dresses

Children aren’t excluded in this pack and you’ll see that there are two styles of children’s dresses. The first is a summer-centric sleeveless style with a patterned top and plain skirt, while the second is a plain top and patterned skirt.

Both choices are nice summer options and perfect for children running around the garden. The plain topped dress is a layered style with a cardigan that compliments it well.

8 Furniture: Statues And Fountains

The pack contains several different statues and fountains that fit a range of garden sizes. The small wall-mounted fountain and small tiered version both fit well into regular gardens, while the large ornate fountain is great for parks.

You’ll also see some beautiful statues and archways, although most of these are quite large and ornate, fitting better into community green spaces or larger homes.

7 Create A Sim: Casual Summer Options

Women aren’t left out either and there are two styles of dress as well as a feminine-styled shorts, top and jacket set. One dress has floral swatches, while the other is plain. The three-piece set has plain shorts and tops with a vibrant shirt adding a pop of color.

All three options are great summer staples and the plain dress, in particular, is very versatile, lending itself well to a smart casual look you could use for work or more formal social events.

6 Furniture: Foliage

The pack also contains some unique looking plants and hedges which are pretty versatile, despite having some interesting swatches. There are colorful wildflowers, large bushes, and some narrow hedges that tile well. You’ll also find some unique plants and a vibrant window planter.

All this foliage matches perfectly with the more overgrown statues and archways as well as the wishing well. This means your garden can be varied but completely cohesive. There’s even a matching planter.

5 Create A Sim: Patterned Jeans And Shorts

If you want some simple staples the pack also provides here with some straight-legged shorts and jeans with matching swatches. There are both patterned and plain options, giving your sims a great wardrobe staple.

Having shorts and jeans means you can match perfectly with the co-ordinating tops, especially the masculine suit jacket that has the same swatches.

4 Furniture: Stone Seating

If you’re looking for an alternative to the wooden benches the base game offers, the stone seating may be the answer. There is a patterned bench, plain seat, and even a picnic table.

The stone seating matches together well and also perfectly compliments the other stone items in the pack including the statues, archways, fountains, and the ornate stone and iron gate.

3 Create A Sim: Men’s Layered Tops

There are several male tops in this pack and they work for a variety of occasions. There’s a casual shirt, which also has a boys variation, as well as a layered sweater option. Alongside this, the layered options are a shirt jacket, shirt and waistcoat, and waistcoat with a t-shirt and scarf.

These tops have a variety of uses and the jacket in particular creates a unique suit. The casual shirt also has subtle patterns that give it more texture than most.

2 Furniture: Outdoor Lighting

The most versatile items for gardens of all sizes are the lighting options. There is a simple lampost with plain spherical lights on top as well as a small lantern design that can be used on floors or fences.

Both of these lighting options can be used to create a garden that’s lit up well when the sun goes down. While the lamposts are more difficult to utilize well both options look good and provide good light.

1 Create A Sim: Hairstyles For All Ages

This pack contains four unique hairstyles. Children get a short crop and long partial updo while adults get a long layered style and a short messy crop.

All four hairstyles are casual looking with decent textures, making them look good on a variety of sims.
