These two kits were announced today. Let's discuss them. Predictions, issue, ideas, interests, or lack of interests.Does the Incheon Arrivals Kit really only have 3 items? Does the Fashion Street Kit, which I already have the bad habit of calling the Mumbai Kit, really only have 2 items? The announcements combined with the announcement's title images indicate that the Incheon Kit has at least 4 clothes and the Fashion Street Kit has at least 6 clothes and multiple jewelry pieces. What are your thoughts? In the end I am very curious. I was hoping to find out if there will be more items or if that information is not yet public. The announcements for those Kits were made today. Honestly, the description listed on Origin for the Incheon Arrivals Kit made me excited for airports, but I doubt they will add another big ticket item to the list of releasable content for the Sims 4.What do people from those countries think? Are they insulted by the fact that they only get small kits while Japan and England got complete expansion packs, or is this really not that big of a deal? I hope they have a decent number of items.

The kits contents have already been discovered, and both packs have way more items than listed in the blog post. https://twitter.com/TheSimCommunity/status/1440413856069668872Not that I expected them to only have a few items. The only Kit that has less than 10 items is the Bust the Dust kit, and that one has an entire gameplay system with it, so I'm willing to give it a pass on only a few items. Everything else has had a respectable number of assets.

Well, there's two new outfits in the base today that's related to the two new kits coming up.

I wasn't impressed by the kit cover art (really hope they go back to proper 3d model covers for those), but after I got a look at the assets I'm really loving the Fashion Street kit.One of my biggest complaints about Throwback is that all it had was clothes when CAS has so much more to offer, and Fashion Street has some really nice accessories (plus an outfit I'd want even as a singular item and lots of nice color pieces). So I'm definitely grabbing that one.Incheon Arrival... The clothes look comfy and to some degree like stuff I actually wear, but muted and dull colors irritate my retinas like garish colors do to others'. Especially off whites. I despise ivory, cream, eggshell, etc. and pretty well every hue of brown. So I'm kind of torn here, even if the clothes would match some of my more homely Sims. I don't know. Maybe I'll grab it since I like Fashion Street so much.

South Asian here. Nothing offensive to see here. I'm quite excited for both. The South Asian kit seems to have captured the beauty of our fashion. Though not nearly enough jewelry or variety. We have hand made saris,lenghas,salwar kameezes etc. That goes on For years and years and still you will never see the end of it. Because they are constantly making new ones daily! If anyone has seen an older bollywood move that's a good example. Though I'm from Sri lanka we share the same fashion and culture with most of South Asian with minor differences.But this is a kit afterall. So can't expect much. If you just walk into our bracelet store the entire store will be covered in bracelets of all size, shape, color, and sparkle you can imagine. South Asia is a fashion heaven. The henna was a nice addition. I love henna!! I should start doing my own again....I am not offended it's just a kit. I couldn't care less about culture representation. Honestly just want a fun engaging game and wouldn't care if I never saw anything related to me. Give me adventure, drama, lore, challenge, consequences, and zombies. I'll be happy.But since this is here it's nice to have. ? and since I enjoy CAS I'll have fun making some South Asian families and maybe a simself too. I even changed my avatar to show off some of the fashion ?The Korean kit is fun too! I have Korean friends and I'm a big fan of the country/culture and people. Korean fashion is the total opposite of South Asia but it's really nice in a different way! I have quite a few Korean outfits and my brother has these super fashionable Korean clothes I brought for his birthday. He gets so many compliments on it.I don't think this kit has captured the "best" of K fashion but it's really nice stuff and I have a lot of East Asian sims so this is perfect. In general they do tend to wear muted colors a lot in Korea. Would we nice to get a b/b CAS to go along with these. Always wanted to make a South Asian house but even with cc couldn't find much.

So I'm definitely grabbing that one. You know, I agree with you. My issue with throwback was that it didn't have that diversity of outfit components. I like that the Fashion Street pack offers mehndi/henna and jewelry. Also, while I wish there was lehenga in the pack, I am pleased that it is more than just clothes. It is nice to be reminded of that perspective. Saris are unstitched wraps and lehengas are stitched three-piece attires. Both may be used for weddings and othersPhotos of lehenga https://media.weddingz.in/images/products/2016/3/Hypnodream_-_6809_1.jpeghttps://image.wedmegood.com/resized/570X/uploads/project/8838/1472792459_Shyamal___Bhumika_Bridal_Collection___17_.jpg

Incheon Arrivals and Fashion Street Kits Discussion

I like them both and look forward to getting them. I love the bright colors in the Fashion Street, and when I saw the long coat and all the other simple neutrals you get in the Incheon, I knew I would have to get it. I may make myself wait a bit though, I've spent quite a bit on this game this year. I'll just have to keep reminding myself that all my sims are livin' the farming life right now, and don't need those clothes. :/

I really like how graceful a lot of those clothes look.

As a whole I wish Kits didn't exist.

But the kits that appeal to me the most are the CAS kits. I just prefer not to use too much CC in my game.

I really like these two. I hate to say it but I'll probably purchase both eventually. The two female full body outfits in fashion street are gorgeous. I also find Incheon so versatile and very in line with my personal taste.

I'm really not impressed with these kits. All we're getting is new clothes and some new jelwelry. Now I would have been impressed had we got more tattoos and peircings. What we really need is a Sleepwear Kit if thier going to keep doing CAS Kits. Sleepwear is badly lacking in TS4.

I was just thinking the other day, while in CAS, that we have nearly no lingerie. A pack of that sort and goth clothes/stuff would be nice. I'm not a goth person IRL, however I love Gunther Goth and love that style. I would love a belly button diamond and also a belly chain. These new packs just seem like plain clothes for me. I may have saw one or two things, but nothing worth the money. I also wish they would do a toy pack of some sort and toddler stuff. Back in the Sims3 store days, people went wild over the walker, playpen, ect stuff. Not sure why we don't have something like that. A wedding dress pack with new cakes ect. would be a huge hit. A pack with urns, tombstones, a death flower ect. would probably be a great seller.

Still a week left, what a strange decision it was to announce the kits so early... I just wanna see all the swatches already, come on!

These are probably Day 1 purchases for me solely for the reason they are about equal on male and female CAS assets, which is a rarity. I want to support that. (It helps that I can see me using the FS on my San Myshuno sims, and the IA on a variety of sims.)

If anyone involved in the asset distribution for these packs happens to read these forums, a big thumbs up from me.

I'm looking forward to both kits. I agree with @catloverplayer I'd love more sleepwear for my sims.

Hello! I am South Asian and I am literally so. freaking. EXCITED about the Fashion Street Kit! I also love how we are getting henna tattoos and nose piercings! These features are gonna definitely make me buy the Fashion Street kit, as it comes with some beautiful accessories and saris and skirts and panchas… all of it is literally so beautiful, I am going to start CRYING. For the Incheon Arrivals Kit, the stuff in it looks so NICE! However, I don’t think I will buy this one because it doesn’t appeal to me as much as the Fashion Street Kit. Also we have this style in packs like Discover University and Snowy Escape. However, that’s not saying much because the items would make me buy it, but I will not buy it. The items in both kits are beautiful as always, but I wish they would have around 40 items as 5 dollars for 26 or 22 items is quite a lot of the price, but it is fine :smile: Overall, I cannot wait for these kits to release, as these are some of my favorite kits to release so far, alongside the Industrial Loft Kit and Bust the Dust Kit!

As a Korean, this kit is a disgrace to K-fashion. My boyfriend (also Korean, not a Simmer) commented that the style they're aiming for seems more Japanese than Korean. While neutral tones and beige colors have been a steady trend here, I just don't understand why they would pick this bland style of fashion to represent K-fashion. I do acknowledge that they there will be players who appreciate what Incheon Arrivals offers as it seems perfect for everyday wear. If they had released it under a different concept, I probably wouldn't scrutinize it this harshly. But to me, it just seems like they wanted to jump on the hype train of K-pop and K-dramas and I don't appreciate the half-baked effort.

The idea to focus on airport fashion came from Jazzy Cho, not the sims team. Or at least that was my impression from the kit blog post
