Poolside Splash Kit - Review!

Assets themselves: All are made with great swatches, fit nicely on the sims and look good. A few nit picks I have though. The flooties + Arm bands should've been an accessory like the Iike IL's toddler arm band. One of the Full Body outfits for women the one with the huge cut is broken when paired with heels, boots (high and low) some sandels and some trainers (sneekers) and the feet are bugged.

Inclusivity: Items work great on female-male however the male-female Do not work well and look very bugged on females! The nails are not tagged for males like all the other nails ☹️ However on larger sims the assets still work great!

Critic's The Full body outfit breaks with most shoes (female swim top with the cut out), Flooties should have been seperated. Nails Need to be tagged for the masucline frame. Both pairs of shorts should come under "athletic wear". The sunglasses are very chunky and dont look good on sims. No toddler assets either, I would die for some more for them ☹️

overall: 6.5/10 Would recommend but get modern luxe first!

@EA_Cade Can you bring up the shorts tagging and masc tagging for nails to the team(bug report here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/PSK-Nails-Arent-tagged-for-masc-frame-all-other-nails-are/m-p/12919446#M257721 . The broken asset has a report So that should be in your system https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/PSK-Full-Body-Swimwear-Causes-Duplicated-Feet/m-p/12919177#M257714 .

THIS IS MY UN-BIAS OPINION - MY THOUGHTS ABOUT KITS THEMSELVES ARE IRRELEVENT ITS JUST A REVIEW OF WHAT YOU GET!

I don't particularly like the base game swimwear except a couple of items. I rarely use the pattern bikinis or the swimsuits except for background characters.
I wouldn't call it a must have kit, compared to Moonlight Chic, Incheon Arrivals or Fashion Street which are all awesome kits IMO. But my Sims always have at least 3 sets of swimwear or more depending if its a Sulani household. So I thought might as well as I'm running out of combinations. I think of the 2 kits Modern Luxe is the better of the 2.
I highly recommend @gooochyeee's excellent review of that kit too!☺️

@gooochyeee Really think the floaties should be separate and they do look kinda buggy in the water. They don't keep the sim up the ring is under the water when they swim. Not a great addition at all and wastes a good bathing suit option. Saw them swim with it on in a video. Really think it would have done better as an accessory. LOL

@ReneHollyDesign1 @simsplayer818 @Strangelovekraft The things that would of made these kits better: Muslim full body covered swim suit & hat. Swim Googles for all ages, seperated flooties and arm bands and toddler+infant swim fits!!! Honestly I bought it because I hate ALL of the other stuff for men so it was nice to have more options! Modern Luxe is defo the far superior kit! Here is the review for modern luxe https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Feedback/Modern-Luxe-Kit-Review/m-p/12917450#M77214 . I wouldnt recommend this one however ones I would recommend for cas are: Moonlight Chic Kit & Incheon Arrivals Kit!

@gooochyeee You know I was thinking of all the packs I have bought which are many and kits with only a couple of items I liked in them. There is just so many items that I would never use in a build unless it was a use items you hate challenge, LOL That would easily fill a house. So many horrible clothes, makeup and hair styles too. So one item I don't like in a swimsuit pack is not a big deal. So I bought it after all. LOL

@ReneHollyDesign1I'm really liking it after all. I like all the different mix and match combos.
But I pull a face at those ones with floaties. I mean, I'd need that one for myself as I can't swim but you'd just be like "I'm not going outside looking like this, I'm staying in the pool hut 😳".
