The Sims 4’s first update of the year is here, though it may not be quite what you might have expected. The game’s latest patch mainly centres around a collaboration with Coach, the luxury fashion brand.
This obviously isn’t the game’s first collaboration with a known brand, though this one does include a lot of free items and accessories that anyone can make use of, even if they don’t care about Coach.
The Coach Collection brings nine new items to The Sims 4. They range from clothes and accessories you can use with Create a Sim, to decoration items available in Build Buy. There’s also The Carriage House, a new Gallery household where you can find three new roommates.
There’s a nice bit of variety in the options available, some casual and others more practical for your Sims to wear. Then there’s The Bag Room, which can also be grabbed from the Gallery. The room simply serves as a way for you to show off your Coach bags and trunks collection.
In case you missed it, The Sims’ development team recently shared an update on some of what we can expect in 2026, both for The Sims 4 as well as other projects currently in the works. It even included further confirmation, if any was needed, that Project Rene is a dedicated mobile off-shoot, and not — as many had long believed — The Sims 5.
The blog post also included a statement about EA’s imminent change of ownership, which many fear could alter the series’ inclusive and diverse nature, and the decisions made by its various teams.
