If you’re like most Sims 4 players, you probably spend a lot of time in the kitchen and bathroom. And if you’re like me, you love to use mods to make those areas even more fun and interesting. Here’s how to do it:
- Start by opening the Sims 4 launcher and clicking on the “Options” tab. This will show you a list of all the options that are available to you.
- Scroll down until you find “Mods” and click on it. This will open a mod management screen.
- On this screen, you’ll need to create a new mod file called “Sims4_Kitchen_and_Bathroom.” The name of this file must be unique so that other mods cannot overwrite it. You can name your file whatever you want, but I recommend using something that reflects your personal style in the kitchen or bathroom!
- Once your new mod has been created, click on it in the Mods list and select “Activate.” This will start up your mod in-game! You can now enjoy your new area with all its added features!
Not only do they take up the most space, but they’re also one of the most functional parts of these important rooms.
But let’s be real: your sims want more than just function. They want pretty designs, too!
If you’re sick of the default vanilla counter designs in Sims 4, well we’ve listed our favorite custom counters that are sure to fit your Sim’s home.
10. Kitchen Country – Counter Curtain and Drawers
Check Out This CC
Old school is cool.
Especially if it leaves you with fond memories of childhood.
And if you’ve spent one too many summers in an elderly relative’s home, you’ve seen this counter!
This Kitchen Country – Counter Curtain CC by ShinoKCR sure looks familiar to me.
The counter set features vintage curtains that we all once hid under during an intense game of hide and seek with our siblings. Choose from 6 classic swatches, each with different curtains.
9. Bohrium Counter I
Check Out This CC
Are you a victim of our education system that forces memorization of the periodic table of elements?
If so, you probably ignored the lessons and have no idea what Bohrium is.
It’s a synthetic element that’s chemically similar to a rare metal, rhenium. It works for some more modern (or even futuristic) countertops.
And if you like the style you can grab this Bohrium Counter CC set by Wondymoon.
I’m not exactly sure why the set gets this name, but these counters are so pretty I don’t even mind. The these marble-topped counter designs will fit any modern home.
8. Seraph Bathroom Middle Counter (Open Drawer)

Before you check out this CC set, pop in some Mozart.
This pick is for soft, ethereal themed spaces.
Did someone say spaces? ArwenKaboom’s Seraph Bathroom has plenty of those.
It features two shelves with an open drawer, and a towel draped over it. The drawer is marbled, giving it a classic look.
You have four swatches to choose from here. Use this CC as a standalone counter for your bathroom, or if you really like the design then check out the entire Seraph set by this CC creator!
7. Ombre Counter Island
Check Out This CC
A center island just screams luxury & plenty of space.
It should be positioned at the dead center of your kitchen, immediately becoming the main focal point. Because of this, it’s imperative to choose a style that will represent your kitchen’s look, while being functional at the same time.
Winner9’s Ombre Counter Island CC is an excellent choice for your Sim’s first centerpiece.
The Tetris-shaped counter adds a bit more than your boring rectangular island.
It comes in 2 top finishes: dark and white maple, and four counter base colors.
This will go great in kitchens with a wooden theme, dominated by one hue.
6. Under Counter Washing Machine and Dryer
Check Out This CC
Most players create these vast grandiose homes for their Sims every chance they get.
It’s time to live large, baby! And why wouldn’t they?
Do you want a bathroom as big as a bungalow? Boom. Want an Olympic size pool? Sure.
But there’s something charming about tiny homes.
They cost less, are easier to make, and requires less furniture. If your Sim is part of the tiny home revolution then snag this Undercounter Washing Machine and Dryer CC by Teknikah.
Forget about losing even more space. This 2-in-1 appliance lives under your counter. It basically is the counter! And you get 14 swatches total.
5. Under Counter Mini Fridges
Check Out This CC
If you ask me, you can never have too many fridges.
Give me a fridge in my bedroom. A fridge in the office.
Heck, even a fridge in the bathroom (which is kind of weird but, hey!)
Keeping up with our tiny home theme discussion: how about a counter fridge?
This CC is also by Teknikah and is sure to save space.
Pop a microwave on top of it, or even other appliances.
Don’t have a tiny home? Don’t worry; this mini fridge will still feel happy all tucked away.
4. Seamless Island Counter
Check Out This CC
I’ll say something controversial yet brave: I’m not a big fan of visible seams.
I mean, I know they’re there. And their primary purpose is to hold things together – but sometimes they are kind of unsightly.
Give me seamless everything: clothing, underwear, human interactions.
Seamless counters can give be more appealing, especially for modern minimalist homes.
And this Seamless Island Counter CC by Illogical Sims contains three seamless island counters, that can be put together side-by-side and can act as a kitchen bar + a regular counter.
These have wooden bodies in two swatches, with a crisp white countertop.
