Summary
The Secret Sanctuary pack forThe Sims 4is truly for the introverted bookworms. The concept of a secret hideaway that you can escape to at a moment’s notice is an alluring one, and it’s even better when it’s a luxurious lounge hidden behind a bookcase. There are fourteen new wardrobe items and twelve new pieces of furniture that are perfect for spending a night in by yourself.
The pack’s wardrobe combinations will have your Sim looking and feeling classy and relaxed in their own stay-cation space, and the bookcase-hidden room could hold any number of possibilities. You can turn it into whatever you want!
8Classy Tops
These tops are the start to a great outfit, and each of them have so many color customization options and patterns to choose from. Whether your Sim is going out for the night or going to a business meeting, these tops have you covered.
Some of the color customizations have the ability to completely change the vibe of the outfit depending on which you choose, so no matter what your Sim’s path in life is, this pack has an outfit for it.
The halter top and blazer have both patterned and plain options, while the long-sleeve top only has solid colors. That doesn’t mean it’s more limited, however, since the dual color options make it possible to add your own personality into the look.
7Elegant Bottoms
This pack has a different pants or skirt style for everyone looking for a business formal or business casual look. These bottoms are detailed enough to provide a realistic version of that professional aesthetic on your Sims. Like the tops, the color customization is versatile, although there are limited patterns available when compared to the tops in this pack.
These bottoms are reminiscent of what you’d wear to any job interview, but the shorts are definitely more casual. There are numerous solid colors, and all of them are able to blend seamlessly into outfits while still making a statement all on their own.
6Full Body Sets
These sets are for multipleoutfit categories, from Formal to Exercise to Sleep. The dress is long, off-the-shoulder, with a long slit, best suited for any party and some formal events. The exercise set comes in many solid colors, some with leggings and some with shorts, perfect for a hidden gym room. The fluffy robe is the star of the hideaway, especially since it looks the best for lounging in any solid color.
If your Sim wants to get away from any stressors in their life, these sets are perfect for them to relax and lounge in. When you picture relaxation, it doesn’t get much easier than if you’re presented with outfits this stylish.
5Accessories and Shoes
No outfit is complete without accessories, and no outfit can be truly enhanced without shoes to accompany it. There’s high heels fit for anything from a wedding to a night out on the town, high-heeled boots that would pair nicely with a summer outfit, and a small gem bracelet and flower earrings that go well with each other on their own. You’d think the accessories in this pack were in a purchased set to begin with.
These pieces really shape an outfit, and this pack definitely proves that. With the shoes alone, there are plenty of different Sim wardrobes you can create. The earrings and necklace also give your Sim a more elegant look before even considering the outfit that goes with it.
4Wall Décor
Without framed painting and photos on your walls, your room would feel far more empty. The Secret Sanctuary pack has a few arrangements, and the bookcase is no doubt the star of the show. It doubles as a door in theBuild tab, and you’re able to use it to conceal entire wings of the house or individual rooms as you see fit.
There’s also a black and white rose painting and a set of nature paintings that come in a set that you’re able to hang on the other walls.
If you create any secret rooms with a hint of modern luxury, the wall decorations in this pack will help you emphasize that aesthetic. They also help improve your Sim’s mood, which is always a plus.
3Vanities and Mirrors
Adding to the vintage dressing room feel of this pack’s wardrobe, there’s a fancy vanity table and a full-body mirror that by default come in red and white, respectively. They can be changed to a number of different colors, however, and the two mirrors are accompanied by a beautiful, elaborately designed jewelry box.
Both mirrors function the same as any other mirror in the game, and they can even be used for pep talks.
If your Sim needs to feel elegant and glamorous, they just need one of these items in their room, and they’ll be able to hype themselves up, no problem. It’s ideal for a midday escape from reality, which may be just what your Sim needs.
2Seating and Heating
The vanity, of course, wouldn’t be complete without a cushy vanity chair. It comes in the same colors as the vanity desk itself, so you can match the set. There’s also a chaise lounge that’s got a color-customizable blanket draped across it, perfect for lounging in any of the outfits in this pack. This pack does the Victorian aesthetic justice, with the height of luxury reflected in even the seating options.
Both seating options can be positioned in front of the carved wood fireplace, which can be lit and unlit like any other fireplace in the game, giving your secret room a cozy, warm feeling. It’ll make your Sim feel right at home in their space.
1Record Player and Tea Set
These two items are each staple pieces in their own right. The record player is the picture of traditionalism, and the tea set is polished to perfection no matter what color or pattern you decide to make it. All tea lovers know that one of the best ways to relax is with a cup of tea and some music. The record player functions just like any radio in the game, but there’s nothing to get you feeling richer than some smooth jazz.
you’re able to arrange your room any way you want, but there’s something beautifully gothic about the record player and tea table combination. Besides, the room doesn’t just have to be for your Sim. You could throw any number of parties in your hidden room!
