Get more use out of the latest Sims 4 Buy/Build Kit with Peacemaker’s Bistro Expanded CC Set.
The Cozy Bistro Kit is one of the latest Kits released for The Sims 4 which features a collection of objects, walls, and floors that follow an old-fashioned restaurant theme. All together it has 27 new pieces that are styled nicely, with several items that will surely get use in multiple build types.
Unfortunately there has been a long-standing issue with Kits however, in that they never seem complete. The most notable example is how hanging lighting, ceiling/wall decor, windows, and doors only ever seem to be made for short wall heights which really limits what you can build if you want to create something that uses a Kit as the main focal point. It’s also just silly; EA could easily make those extra pieces to pump up the number of included items per Kit, making them look like a better deal and encouraging players to purchase them.
Bistro Expanded Nearly Doubles The Number Of Kit Objects!
Peacemaker, a favorite CC creator of mine, is known for making expansions of some of The Sims 4’s more limited DLC theming along with creating his own amazing furniture sets. We’ve shared some of his expansions here previously, and it should come as no surprise that he recently released a new set that adds way more usability to the Cozy Bistro Kit.
Bistro Expanded is his latest release and it adds 22 more items designed to work with the Cozy Bistro Kit:
- A variant of the “Quaint and Cozy Dining Lamp”
- Medium and Tall ceiling heights for the “Atlas Shrugged Pendant”
- Medium and Tall ceiling heights for the “Notable Nectar Rack”
- Spacers to be used with “The Bistro Sign” wall hanging
- 2-tile version of the “Tableside Lace Curtains”
- 1-tile version of the “Cozy Evenings Awning”
- 6-seater version of the “Á La Carte Table”
- A backless version of the “Quintessential Bistro Chair”
- A stool version of the “Quintessential Bistro Chair”
- A corner version of the “Vintage Velvets Dining Booth” *this object uses tuning from Dine Out and may require that Game Pack to function
- Individual counter and island pieces that match the “Trattoria Bistro Bar”
- Extra height options for the “Trattoria Bar Back” objects
- Medium height options for all “Verandah” windows and doors
- Variants of the “Bistro Bliss Wallpaper”
There are also 3 overrides included in Bistro Expanded; the original “Vintage Velvets Dining Booth” has been upgraded with fixed shaders so it lights properly, and in addition to 2 new sizes for the “Trattoria Bar Back” the original versions have been overridden to have more usable slots (and thus match the new size versions Peacemaker added). Not only does Bistro Expanded give you more items, it fixes some of the items that came with the original!
All items from Bistro Expanded use the original color swatches and are properly color tagged in the catalog. They can also be found using the Cozy Bistro tag in the catalog filters. If you search “Cozy Bistro” the wallpapers won’t come up since they’re found in Build instead of Buy but will show up in Build mode when using the Kit filter tag.

Conclusion
If you want to get something new for The Sims 4 but also want as big a “bang” for your buck as possible, you can’t go wrong with a Kit+free add-ons. By combining the Cozy Bistro Kit with Bistro Expanded you’ll end up with 49 items, which gives you plenty to work with for making awesome bistro builds.
