'The Sims 4' DLC release date: 'Cool Kitchen Stuff' rolling out Aug. 11

"The Sims 4" is getting another DLC pack. Following the release of "The sims 4: Spa Day" and "The Sims 4: Get to Work" comes "The Sims 4: Cool Kitchen Stuff." According to the official "The Sims" website, this new DLC will be available starting Aug. 11. 

This new DLC will give players more appliances and furniture to redesign their kitchen in innumerable ways.There will be new cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and new tiles and tables, among many others, to help foodie enthusiasts make their kitchen look any way they want. 

"Cool Kitchen Stuff" also gives new apparel and hairstyles to help players look like professional chefs and kitchen experts. 

However, the biggest addition is the inclusion of an Ice Cream Maker which allows gamers to create soft serve ice dessert, gelatto, or regular ice cream. There are 30 different flavors and a variety of toppings such as whipped cream, banana slices, and sprinkles. This lets players create an endless variety of sweet desserts with a single machine. 

Prior to the release of "Cool Kitchen Stuff," the game will receive an update that will give a free dishwasher. This dishwasher will help people clean up after whipping up different dishes and desserts when the "Cool Kitchen Stuff" DLC comes out. 

It is unclear if there will be other new food-making machines other than the Ice Cream Maker but it does appear that the dessert machine will be the main focus of the DLC other than the aesthetic additions that it has to offer. Luckily enough, previous DLC packs already gave gamers an oven for baking cookies, cakes, and other pastry goods. 

As stated in the official announcement, receiving the dishwasher will require players to connect their game online. No official price for "Cool Kitchen Stuff" has yet been listed but given how much the previous "Stuff" packs cost, it is likely that this DLC addition will cost somewhere around $12.90 to $19.00 when it is released.
