Summary
The Sims 4build kits are a great way to add new styles to your builds. Each one is themed, and they compliment existing items well. Riviera Retreat is no exception to this offering outdoor luxury for your Sims with a fresh and natural look.
This pack combines earthy tones with rustic decor and a hint of bright patterns just subtle enough to enhance the neutral colours. The kit is perfect for creating a timeless outdoor space with a clean, natural and yet still eye-catching aesthetic.
9Floor and Wall Tiles And Bricks
There are two kinds of wall tile, the Riviera Wall Tile, a checkered patterned wall tile with 12 swatches, and the Riviera Cobblestone, a rustic brick with ten swatches. The floor tiles are Riviera Floor Tile, and match the wall tiles with complimentary patterns and swatches in the same colour range.
The tiles are great for outdoor areas that need a splash of colour, and they compliment the tiled pool edges also in this pack. The wall tiles would be equally at home in an outdoor changing area or a rustic bathroom. The sparse rustic brick walls add neutral tones to any outdoor area.
8Pool Tiles, Ladders, And Lights
The 12 swatches of these two types of pool or fountain edging tiles perfectly compliment the wall and floor tiles, without being identical. The Grotto Gravel Pool Trim has 12 neutral tones matching the colours of the rustic brick while the Riviera Tile Pool Trim has a dozen swatches that match the more vibrant tiles.
Your pool can be finished off with the Mariner’s Pool Ladder, which comes in 12 neutral tones, and the Embelished Pool Light with seven neutral swatches. If you want to add a pop of colour to the pool, you’re able to supplement these pool decorations with the Riviera tiles for both floor and wall to create a beautiful rustic yet vibrant pool area.
7Archways And Small Fountains
The Aquaduct Fountain is the perfect piece of decor for a more understated garden. It comes in 12 neutral tones and is small, subtle and stunning. It will add a touch of class to any area in your garden.
Also pictured here is the Rustic Riviera Arch which once again has 12 neutral stone coloured swatches. You can use this to create any outdoor space which needs connecting without the need for a door.
6Waterfalls And Rocks
These are seemingly simple items which are likely to get a lot of use by builders. They are the Grotto Cascade, a stone with a waterfall flowing from the top, and Grotto Accent Rock, which is a matching stone without the waterfall detail. Both come in eight colours and with large and small variants.
These offer an easy way to create unique water features or rock gardens and will work nicely alongside pools, ponds and fountains. Being able to add flowing water to a build is a game changer for builders and a huge addition.
5Firepits, Stepping Stones, Lights, And Trees
The bronze firepit comes in seven colours and provides a nice cosy and safe fire to roast marshmallows over. The Serene Stepping Stones come in two patterns and four colours, allowing you to create a path down to the fire pit.
Other outdoor decor includes the Essence of Bergamot Planter as well as the Timeless Tapers wall light. These both add a nice finishing touch to your backyard.
4Arbor
The Romeo and Juliet Arbor is a metal shelter designed for looks rather than function. The wrought iron bars are beautifully crafted into a rustic design which is trimmed with ivy.
It may not protect you from the elements but it will help your garden gain a touch of rustic class and offers a beautiful addition to a patio or deck.
3Two Types Of Table
If you need more shelter the Patio Prestige Dining Table comes with a plain but pretty sunshade, offering a covered place by the pool to eat. There are 12 swatches in total which comprise neutral and muted colours.
If you’d prefer a table to rest a drink while you relax on a lounger then there’s also the matching Sunbath Soiree Table. Thsi small compact option can go anywhere you need to rest a drink.
2Chairs And Loungers
If there’s one thing a garden needs it’s a sun lounger and this pack has a couple of options. The Poolside Lounger is a nice plain neutral style lounger for your deck with 12 different swatches. The other plainer looking lounger is The Luxury Lounger and is a pool float.
You’ll also find the Patio Prestige Dining Chair which matches the tables and loungers to complete a cohesive set of patio furniture.
1Curtains, Drink Trays And Towel Shelves
The finishing touches in this pack are the Windswept Cabana Curtains, the Poolside Towel Station and the On A Silver Platter Drinks Tray. The curtains match the umbrellas on the dining tables, and the towel racks match the other patio furniture, adding a touch of detail to your builds.
The drinks trays are neutral enough to match anything, fit perfectly on the Sunbath Soiree Table, and are fully functional, so your Sims can sip cocktails in the sun.
