The list of CAS kits is getting quite long. I am thinking about getting one but not sure yet which one. So far I don't have any CAS kits, only a few build/buy kits. I am considering incheon arrivals or first fits because they offer solid basics or fashion street for the colourful diversity.
So I would like to ask you guys which CAS kit you like best and why. What are your favourite items?
the items are so pretty but I do find it hard to get to using it since its so specific look and it almost feels wrong if i just use it on like Vlad or something
slight interest in Carnaval Streetwear, Simtimates, Throwback fit in about that order
Carnaval would be useful for mermaids Calientes, party ppl also kind of reminds me of ts2 with those strange swatches but it is rather croptop heavy selection :sweat_smile:
Simtimates well, sims be always needing underwear and they might like new options so, yeah. seems useful.
Throwback fit for the sporty sims and active category wouldn't hurt i guess
can't decide if Incheon is boring or not cause I feel like if I had it I would use it the items do look nice but also its tad too safe like would I just forget half the items even exist probably it just looks like very "mid" kit for me in general
rest of the cas kits no interest whatsoever tbh I don't really see anything in those kits that gives me the " I must have that"
1. Simtimates Collection Kit Sleepwear and lingerie seriously lacks without this kit. Yes you can get creative with other clothing by removing tags but I needed more options. This kit was on my "wishlist" so I was super excited to get it. Bonus: Some of the pieces do work well for swimwear
2. Throwback Fit Kit I use it a lot for workout category. It has some not so bright options and mixes well with other clothing. I'm a 90s kid so it's kinda nice to have a 90s inspired kit.
3. First Fits Kit There was a time when children had hardly any clothing options even with the earlier packs. I think the S4 team has gotten better about this but if you don't have a lot packs currently with children's clothing then this kit is a good fit.
You can find all things included listed on the EA website for each pack (kits in this case) or pull up YT videos
I decided to vote for Simtimates in the end I feel like with other kits its
" I wish this was part of bigger pack not just a kit"
- Fashion Street
" this could literally be in any pack why do we need separate kit really "
- Incheon, Moonlight, First fits, modern menswear, throwback fit
" this feels like extension of pack we already have and I am not sure I would really be excited if the pack didn't exist"
- Carnaval
it feels to me that Simtimates is the only one that might have required a kit to exist in full (I really don't see them adding so much underwear for any random bigger pack theme)
but also doesn't feel like needed to be part of anything in particular to be fun addition it also isn't rehash of something we already have
also it can be applied on about every sim ever minus maybe Agnes Crumplebottom making it very useful
Moonlight Chic have some very good quality items and the kit has some really good looking tops but I'm not a fan of the pants even if I know that they are inspired of a certain style.
I like Incheon Arrivals and the Throwback fit kit as well. Incheon arrivals have some great looking shoes but also have some clothes that don't scale very well so they look very large.
Fashion street is pretty good too, but I often feel that the colors are not matching for the items in that kit.
I like things about most of them but the one I seem to use the most, much to my surprise, is Throwback Fit.
Don't throw rocks or anything, but the much-scorned Modern Menswear comes with some great sweaters and some of the pants are good, too. The skirts are fun, I throw them in on some sims just for laughs. Vlad can seriously rock a skirt, but he hasn't decided yet if he prefers to wear them with or without tights.
Such a difficult choice to make. For me it would be almost impossible to choose between Throwback Fit, Moonlight Chic, Incheon Arrivals and Fashion Street. I added some pics under the spoiler, because I had them anyway and they illustrate my points.
Throwback Fit is obviously great for athletic wear, but I also use it for everyday and party wear. But this kit has a very specific style, meaning any outfit will have a casual/leisure wear style about it.
Moonlight Chic works for both everyday and party wear, but I only use it for specific Sims. The items are quite stylish and look more like they came from a boutique rather than a big retail store, I guess.
Incheon Arrivals is great with the basics, mostly for everyday wear. But basics are ... basic. So this is not the kit if you are looking to add some accent pieces and colors. I have to add that I love the sneakers that came with this kit.
For me it’s the one with the South Asian inspired clothing…whatever that one’s called… The vibrant colours and detailed designs look great in contrast to the dark & somber attire most of my sims wear. It’s just perfect for the spellcaster / genie / alien-ish people and cloud princesses that live in my Fantasy / Sci Fi save(s) , especially when combined with CAS items from Batuu, RoM, Vampires, City Living, Jungle Adventures, the Sulani pack and that celebrity one…Gosh I’m absolutely dreadful with names today…
Sure even one picture would have been worth more than the million words I can’t find right now. ??
