Ok, I was excited about the pool kit until I realized it was a cas kit. We’ve been asking for more pool stuff….to put in and around the pool. Not swimming outfits, we have plenty already. The arm and donut floaties are cool, but why make it a part of an outfit rather than gameplay objects ? And why arm floats for adults ?

As for the Modern Luxe kit, it’s Vintage Glamour Stuff 2.0. I like the bed though. And the paintings, the vanity table, and the rug.

Yeah. Odd choice since the arm floaties could have been categorized like bracelets for them. Not sure what you could put the innertube around the waist as though. Probably no more than two outfits in the pack that look a bit more unique, but the rest looks more or less the same for sure with stuff we have. Got base game swimsuits, perfect patio swimsuits and also some from seasons. Not too many pieces that's wowing me. If they would have went for a pool stuff pack with CAS plus build/buy with gameplay for a pool slide, pool bar and pool related games (marco polo, etc) definite yes, but it's pretty 'meh' for the most part.

Luxe kit looks nice and remanence of vintage glamor because of the style (wonder why the youtuber/simmer who they collab with didn't go for a different style not so close to it).

Tv and record player are probably the most interesting pieces to me in it too.

If we got a pool build kit, people would have complained about the items being only decorative just the same. Kits don't contain objects that offer new gameplay, just recycled gameplay objects from other packs. Even a pool bar would have needed quite a bit of work as the animation for entering the bar stool cannot be used for a pool bar. A diving board would have needed adjusted animations for the Sims to go on.

And a gameplay pool kit would have been highly problematic as well, consisting of only 1-2 new pool gameplay objects.

I guess we're just due for a Hotels Pack expanding on pools gameplay. Maybe next year?

Now that we have plenty of poolside swimsuits and loungewear, me thinks we need the dream swimming pool build/buy items to go with all those shiny new outfits. *cough*

Maybe a hotel/resort EP will give us all the missing pool items we still don't have in TS4? A pool slide, diving board, swim-up pool bar, in-ground poolside hot tub, pool waterfalls, riding an inner tube around a 'lazy river' pool ride add-on.... and pool stairs stepping down into a shallow end (maybe one solid piece that could be snapped onto the side of the pool?) would be awesome too.

You know..... in case the devs are looking for more 2024 summer road map ideas n' such. *cough*

Oh, this water reflection... :'(

That can be fixed by turning off reflections in the options under the graphics section.

I can't wait to get the floatie swimsuits. I'll probably use them the most and those new sandles look like watershoes which I by the way have.

I'm hoping the upcoming Annivesary Update will add Pool Build/Buy Stuff.

Haha, that'd be a kick if they finally added a pool diving board after 9 years.

Only thing I'd want for a anniversary update is burglars and bug fixes. :V

I sure hope we don't have to wait a year for more pool items of course a Hotels Gamepack could be in the works for November.

Oh, are we still expecting an anniversary update? I assumed the recent patch and the kits would be all we’ll get now until the next roadmap comes out.
