Modern Luxe and Poolside Splash Kits Available Now!

As much as I would love to have new swimwear, at first glance, I don't like a single one of the options in this pack, so that's probably a pass for me.

I'll probably get the Modern Luxe kit solely for the functioning record player. (The curtains are actually really nice, too, but I rarely use curtains.) I might occasionally use the tv that turns into art when it's not in use, but I probably wouldn't have bought the kit just for that.

I admit I will buy the pool kit even though I don't like the floats and swimrings being part of the outfits. I have cc swim rings and cc shirts (mapped as accessoires) that I can mix and match with any swimsuit. Wish the sims team would officially offer that, too. Granted, sometimes the cc clips, depending on the sim's body shape, but a little clipping here and there is preferable to being locked into premade outfit/accessoires combinations. To me variety > perfectionism.

The modern lux kit looks very interesting. The curtains seem to be modular like the ones from the desert lux kit but don't fall straight down. I've wanted a new vanity table for quite some time now. The painting as a TV is a nice touch. But there are similarities to packs we already have, espacially vintage glamour, so do we really need it?

Same room built with objects we already have.

Interesting comparison. I didn't know we have a clutter handbag in the game. What pack is it from?

As for the poolside kit. I think I can easily skip this one. But it looks like the floaties are part of a full body outfit, not separate accessories which is a missed opportunity.

Not interested in BB, but swimwear looks solid. Unfortunately nothing really stands out to me so I'll pass on it for now.

Modern Luxe looks pretty good and it seems to have a zombie head you can put on the shelf. I wish the water wings and inner tube were accessories and not part of the outfit. I'd get silly with water wings

Poolside Splash is a poolside flop for me. The floaties are tempting, but as Enki said, there's better CC out there.
The Modern Lux Kit though, is really pretty. Definitely getting that one.

I have Vinatge Glamour, Island Living and Perfect Patio, so I feel like I already have enough of what’s in these kits. I hope others enjoy them, though. I still only have the two free kits.

Xureila collaborated with our developers and art director to create this Kit. “This entire experience has been amazing! I really enjoyed working with The Sims team,” said Xureila. “From my vision board of the design to choosing the style and colors of the furniture, it was surreal seeing my ideas come to life. This is truly a dream come true! I drew inspiration from Black artists who showcased the luxurious lifestyle of Black individuals. This ultimately served as the primary influence for the project. I mixed in my own personal tastes and interests to create the final product.”

I'm going to get wayyy more use out of the Poolside Splash kit. I see a top that might work for everyday outfit as well. Too bad we didn't get a BB Poolside kit to go with this one saving the collab kit for another time.

Modern Luxe immediately made me think of Vintage Glamour BB which is kind of disappointing. Missed opportunity to make it more art deco style to match some of the High School Years art deco BB. :/ bummer... But that TV is pretty cool so I'll probably grab it eventually.
