Free CAS Items: The Sims 4 Patch Overview (August 2026)

Key Points:

• A new free patch for The Sims 4 is now available on PC, Mac, Xbox, and PlayStation, introducing 6 new CAS (Create-A-Sim) assets focused on plus-size representation and body diversity for both feminine and masculine frames.
• The six new clothing items include a button-up shirt, jacket, and pants for masculine frames, and a short dress, blouse, and pants for feminine frames, each with 12 swatches and categorized by gender frame but accessible to all players.
• The update also adds a new Afro-textured hairstyle called Afro Star, which features no overlay on its swatches, enhancing the diversity of hair options in the base game.
• New Starter Sims, which are pre-made characters without names or personalities, have been introduced to provide more diversity and refresh the initial options players see when starting a new household; these Sims are also available for download from the Gallery.
• Styled Looks have returned to the base game, allowing players to easily dress Sims with new items and see how the development team envisions styling them, marking a shift from this feature being updated only through DLC.
