And then I discovered there’s a whole treasure trove of CC dedicated to it. There’s something inexplicably satisfying about building your own pantry. From choosing the shelving and locations to filling up the space, there are few other activities in the game this customizable. And with custom content, the personalization is endless. There are a ton of touches you can add to your homemade pantry, big and small. And with all this CC at your fingertips, you’ll be dying to add a pantry to your Sim’s home wherever you can.
Naturalis Pantry Set
Check Out This CC Starting off simple, let’s talk about these jars. I’ve noticed a trend lately of people getting really into organization. There are even YouTube videos dedicated to the concept. Maybe it’s because many people are moving out for the first time and realizing the kitchen doesn’t magically stay tidy. This custom jar clutter set would be any organized person’s dream. Transparent containers (so you can always see what’s inside) and reliable lids are necessities for any pantry. The designs on these are pretty cool, too. Beans, pasta, and cookies are always good to have around.
Mares Pantry
Check Out This CC What’s not the love about a rustic pantry? Wood never goes out of style! This creator has made several ways for you to furnish this space, with shelves big and small, and even for your wall. Hah, don’t you love when you can turn something into a rhyme just for the heck of it? There are several clutter items you can download with this CC as well. Soda cans, beer bottles, canned goods, and plenty of non-perishables in those lovely transparent containers will definitely provide a ‘lived in’ look.
The Pantry Collection – Pasta Boxes
Check Out This CC It’s amazing how noodles, one of the cheapest and most simply made items on earth, can be prepared in so many different ways. That’s why you’ll find them in basically every pantry in America, and probably around the world. Except for pantries belonging to people with wheat allergies, of course. Well either way, this little CC collection includes some boxes of the most delicious ways that pasta is commercially offered. This includes mac & cheese, Rice-A-Roni, and Suddenly Salad, among others.
Decorative Word Decals
Check Out This CC Just because a pantry is an area that you store food, doesn’t mean it has to be plain, boring, or undecorated. These word decals are exactly the sort of thing you see in all of the hip modern homes nowadays. There are fifteen words and phrases included here to make your Sim’s home cozy and perfectly labeled, including one specifically for the pantry. At long last, you can create a house that looks straight off of Pinterest. And admit it – you’ve always wanted to!
Fake Barn Door Pantry
Check Out This CC If you’ve ever wanted to have a pantry without actually building one yourself, this Simmer has got just the thing for you. This decorative item will give you the look of a pantry without the work, and with an added farmhouse flair. One half is a barn door, and the other half features shelves of… well, everything you’d expect to see in a pantry! Food, baskets, containers, fruit, spices… it’s all here, and then some.
Open Pantry Shelves
Check Out This CC Now we’re back to something for those of you who do want to build your Sims pantry from the ground up. These empty shelving units will be perfect for doing just that. They’re just the right height and width to give you that open pantry look, and this CC has plenty of slots for you to fill with as much clutter and deco items as you please. They’re available in several swatches, so you can either go with white for a more modern approach, or stick to the classics with wooden, brown shelves.
Cereal Boxes
Check Out This CC Cereal is one of those things where you never have just one box. It’s too delicious and addicting to leave it at that. Most homes have at least two or three cereal options at any given time, maybe more. There are just too many flavors and uses. Whether it’s healthy cereal or the good sugary stuff, any grownup knows it can work as dinner as well as breakfast. Or lunch…or a midnight snack. If you’re like me and don’t like to give your Sims time to cook, then they probably live just like that too. A bowl of cereal is always a quick meal, both in the game and real life! Creator KrisViciousSims has made all of your favorite brands available for the game with this CC, and they’ll be a great way to fill in your pantry.
Baby Food Decor
Check Out This CC When you’re a parent, the one thing you never want to run out of is baby food. So as long as it’s affordable, it’s a good idea to stock your pantry full of the stuff. Sims 4 babies may only eat milk, but we can always dream that they’ll one day become more than noisy deco items, right? And these jars simply look too good to pass up. If you zoom in, you can even read the labels. Turkey & Butternut, Strained Tomatoes, and Strained Bananas are just some of the swatches you can clutter your pantry with. Yummy!
Pantry “Madison”
Check Out This CC Not every pantry has to be its own room or walk-in situation. In some homes, they’re simply an offshoot of the kitchen. This CC set from pqSim4 will be perfect for that kind of build. It includes some tall broad shelves, as well as plenty of items to fill them with. And not just filled with food (which is always good) but also filled with some kitchen items as well, like kettles, a strainer, knife block, and coffee grinder.
Edible Junk Food
Check Out This CC Unless your pantry has a couple of functional items, you probably won’t see it that much. Your Sims certainly won’t have much reason to go in there either, unless they randomly just want to view one of the items. Isn’t that annoying? They’ve got better things to do than stare at a basket! And what better way is there to occupy one’s time than eating junk food? Okay, sure, there might be many ‘better’ ways… but none quite as satisfying. These edible junk food items will be great for your TS4 pantry, and will add a bit of realism, since your Sims can actually eat them. This creator included the best of the best for us: Oreos, Pringles, and Nutella. All items are available in Simlish watches as well as English.
