Designing expansive open kitchens in The Sims 4 often leaves builders craving professional-grade appliances that match the monumental scale of modern luxury homes. When I installed The Coastal Collection Part 4 Harrie Sims 4 CC created by Harrie, I was delighted to see two highly anticipated dream items brought to life: a towering built-in double oven and an expansive full-sized refrigeration unit. Completing the fourth installment of the beloved Coastal series, this premium Build Mode package equips home builders with high-end culinary essentials styled in timeless coastal aesthetics.
The centerpiece of this fourth release is undoubtedly the giant double wall oven unit, an appliance that custom content creators and vanilla players have begged for over many years. Harrie modeled this tall statement piece with careful architectural fidelity, featuring stacked convection oven cavities complete with stainless steel grab bars, digital touch displays, and tempered glass inspection windows.
Rather than standard compact appliances like the DelSol kitchen appliances, Harrie's double oven commands immediate visual attention as a high-end chef's installation suitable for sprawling coastal estates and modern suburban renovations. The interior oven racks are modeled with physical wire depth, catching internal oven light when Sims open the doors to bake casseroles or roast holiday turkeys.
In Build Mode, placing the double oven against counter runs is smooth and intuitive. Harrie designed the unit to align flush with standard counter depths, allowing builders to create clean built-in cabinet walls without awkward gaps or clipping collisions.
I tested the appliance in live mode to confirm interaction tuning. Sims open the upper oven door naturally to slide baking dishes inside, with cooking animations and food baking states functioning cleanly without route failure bugs.
The lower oven chamber is also fully animated, allowing household members to prepare multiple dishes simultaneously during festive holiday family dinners. The exterior handles feature soft chamfered edges that catch overhead pendant lighting realistically.
Accompanying the double oven is a massive French-door refrigerator unit designed to match the vertical footprint of the wall oven. Featuring twin vertical refrigeration doors over pull-out bottom freezer drawers, this appliance captures the upscale aesthetic of professional built-in refrigeration systems.
The door handles feature refined brushed nickel, matte black, and warm brass hardware options that coordinate with cabinetry pulls across the entire Coastal Collection series. The door seals and hinges are modeled with crisp realism, giving the appliance an authentic heavyweight presence in luxury kitchens.
Sims interact with the refrigerator smoothly, opening doors to grab quick meals, store leftovers, or prepare ingredients on adjacent counters. The interior shelves populate with realistic food props during opening animations without visual glitching.
The unit provides full functional food preservation values matching high-end vanilla appliances, ensuring that meals stay fresh and your Sims enjoy top-tier kitchen reliability.
I also observed that the temperature display on the front door panel emits a soft illuminated glow during night hours, adding a cozy touch of modern realism to darkened kitchens.
Harrie provided a curated palette of signature neutral swatches that harmonize with previous parts of the Coastal Collection. The appliances offer clean arctic white, soft chalky cream, moody charcoal slate, deep coastal navy, and warm natural wood veneers that blend effortlessly into coastal, farmhouse, and contemporary builds.
The metallic accent swatches feature brushed stainless steel, unlacquered brass, and blackened iron. The specular mapping is expertly calibrated, producing soft ambient reflections across the appliance doors that look convincing beneath recessed kitchen spotlights and natural window light alike.
The glass oven doors display subtle transparency and realistic surface reflections, allowing players to peek inside at glowing heating elements during active cooking routines.
Built-in appliances frequently suffer from awkward height mismatches when placed next to standard wall cabinets, but Harrie aligned the vertical dimensions to match tall kitchen pantry units. Placing upper cabinets or decorative molding above the refrigerator creates a bespoke custom cabinetry look that enriches the entire culinary space.
The sides of the appliances feature neutral side panels that look finished even when placed at the end of a counter run, giving builders complete freedom across diverse floor plan layouts.
I placed a bustling culinary household into a newly renovated beachfront villa in Tartosa to evaluate the appliances under heavy daily use. Throughout preparing multi-course gourmet dinners, baking pastries, and frequent snacking, both the double oven and the refrigerator performed reliably.
The custom sound effects for humming compressors and oven timers integrate smoothly with the game audio environment without harsh clipping. Repair and cleaning animations trigger properly when appliances require maintenance, with repair Sims interacting with the lower panels without clipping through the cabinetry.
The level of detail meshes scale down cleanly when zooming out across sprawling residential lots, ensuring zero performance drops during family gatherings.
The footprint grid snapping is precise, allowing builders to tuck the units into tight alcoves or feature them prominently along open-concept kitchen islands without requiring extensive moveobjects cheats.
Harrie filled a massive void in The Sims 4 kitchen catalog with these professional double appliances. The balance of monumental scale, elegant coastal styling, and dependable live gameplay functionality makes this pack essential for any serious builder. If you are designing a grand coastal vacation retreat or updating a modern family home, The Coastal Collection Part 4 delivers unmatched luxury and architectural polish to kitchen spaces.
