Furnishing a home can be very expensive.
But out of everything you need, a dish rack is really a must-have. And they can usually be found for dirt cheap.
The alternative is to toss sopping wet dishes up on the counter and hope for the best…
I suppose some would just dry them by hand, but psh. No one’s got time for that, least of all a busy Sim!
These drying racks have come to The Sims 4 through a few packs, but to really find something nice for your build, custom content is the way to go.
1. Dubnium Dish Rack
Introducing the Dubnium Dish Rack – a new custom content addition to your Sim’s humble abode!
Now, when it comes to drying dishes, there’s really no need to go overboard with elaborate designs or fancy features. That’s why Wondymoon’s Dubnium Dish Rack keeps it simple with a bare-bones wire design that allows dishes to air-dry effectively. Simply set it up and let it work its magic!
Available in three swatches – white, black, and dark green – the Dubnium Dish Rack may not be a visually stunning object, but its practicality and functionality are second to none. Its very existence is appreciated by any busy Sim in need of a little extra help with their daily chores.
This humble dish rack can be a great addition to any Sim’s kitchen, adding a touch of authenticity and practicality to the space. Simply place it next to the sink, and you’re good to go!
2. Ceretonia Dish Drainer
Introducing the Ceretonia Dish Drainer – a new and unexpected alternative to the classic wire dish rack!
Created by the talented Wondymoon, this dish drainer features a basic tray with pegs to keep plates and glasses upright and separated, making it a practical and functional addition to any Sim’s kitchen.
Available in a range of designs, including some beautiful wood tones on top of the standard “kitchen furnishing” palette of black, white, and gray, the Ceretonia Dish Drainer is more compact than many other models on the market – even the dish rack that came with Parenthood. This means that you won’t have to sacrifice an entire counter to place it, and it can easily fit into diagonal areas as well.
This custom content creation is perfect for single Sims or couples who don’t go through too many dishes, as its small size won’t take up too much space in your kitchen. So, if you’re looking for a practical and stylish way to dry your dishes, be sure to check out the Ceretonia Dish Drainer!

6. Old Box’s Dish Rack
It sounds like Old Box’s Dish Rack is a unique addition to any Sim’s kitchen, with its focus on storing delicate tea sets rather than drying dishes. The inclusion of various swatches and prints for the tea set makes it a versatile decoration item, and its thin and wiry design adds a touch of elegance. Overall, this CC seems like a great option for Sims who enjoy a good cup of tea and want to add some decorative storage to their kitchen.
7. Brohill Dishrack Recolors
It sounds like this CC offers a great way to add more color options to the standard dish rack that comes with the Parenthood pack. With 20 new colors to choose from, there should be something to fit just about any home decor style. And it’s always nice to have a variety of dishes and silverware to choose from, even if it’s just for aesthetic purposes.
8. Kardofe’s Dish Rack
Exploring the world of Sims can be quite the adventure, but it’s always the little details that make the game truly come alive. And what could be more mundane, yet essential, than a dish rack?
While it’s true that the Sims universe is somewhat lacking when it comes to dishware variety, CC creators have come to the rescue with a variety of eye-catching dish racks that are sure to add a touch of personality to your Sims’ kitchens.
One such creation is Kardofe’s dish rack, which features a stunning array of colorful dishware that’s sure to brighten up any kitchen. From the striking teal saucers to the leafy green design of the third option, these racks are a breath of fresh air compared to the plain white ones that come with the game.
Of course, no dish rack would be complete without dishes to fill it, and Kardofe’s creations certainly deliver in that regard. These vibrant dishware options are a perfect match for the racks, and it’s a shame they aren’t a part of the game itself.
But with CC like this, we can always pretend that our Sims have the best-dressed kitchens in the neighborhood.
9. Branch Dish Rack
If you’re looking for a unique and rustic touch for your Sim’s kitchen, you might want to try this amazing dish rack made entirely of tree branches.
Soloriya created this piece as part of a camping set, but it’s perfect for indoor use as well. The natural and charming style of this rack is perfect for country homes and cabins, a type of build that often lacks content in the game.
The attention to detail is impressive, and it really looks like it’s made entirely of branches. It’s a refreshing change from the typical CC we see, and it adds a lot of character to any kitchen.
While it may seem odd to use camping gear as everyday decor, I think it adds even more charm to your Sim’s home. Don’t be afraid to mix things up and bring some nature indoors with this beautiful and functional dish rack.
10. Manon Kitchen Drainrack
Take a look at this CC, the Manon Kitchen Drainrack, perfect for those who prefer a minimalistic interior design. This dish rack boasts a simple and sleek design with only a few white plates arranged in its slots. Moreover, it’s mostly open space with just a solid strip available in beige, blue, gray, black, and white. It will fit seamlessly into any kitchen regardless of the style, and its neutral color range will make sure it never clashes with anything. It’s perfect for rundown apartments in San Myshuno or colonial mansions filled with vintage furniture. The Manon Kitchen Drainrack is super basic, but it’s also the most versatile dish rack you’ll ever find.
