Carving Pumpkins in Sims 4 is possible with the Spooky Stuff DLC.

In order to carve pumpkins, you’ll need to own the ‘Spooky Stuff’ DLC for the Sims 4. Once you do, you will have access to a carving station. This is where your sim will be able to carve out all their masterpieces.

The carving stations requires §25 (25 Simoleons) per pumpkin. It is also worth noting that your sim can sometimes carve a “Dud” pumpkin, so be aware that it won’t always be a masterpiece!

When using the carving station, you need to keep some key information in mind. The type of pumpkin they can carve will depend on their handiness level or if they are a child, as well as their motor skill.

Here is a breakdown of the type of pumpkins and what skill level your Sim will need to be at to carve them:
