Which CAS kit is the best?
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 o...

Thanks for all your comments. It is interesting to see spread out the answers are, especially in the comments where most people have more than just one favourite. So far Incheon arrival is in the lead, followed by moonlight chic. And modern menswear is the only one that doesn't have a single vote at the moment.
'Basics are just basics' really got me thinking. Having basics is very practical but is that what I need most for my sims. In real life I would go for basics but my sims are more outgoing and colorful than I am. They can pull of a look that is more out there, which I in real life don't feel comfortable in.
I also enjoy fantasy characters like spellcasters, genies, aliens, ... So that sounds like how I would use this kit as well.
It is called the fashion street kit. But I think some of the names are not chosen very well.
- Fashion street should have Indian or Eastern in the name. It is street wear for a very specific culture.
- modern menswear should be high couture menswear or genderneutral menswear
- carnaval fashion feels like it is lacking a reference to brazil because caranval exists in more parts of the world and can look different.
It is easy to get confused if the names to tell the actual contents in the pack.
So I have made my decision and created my first sims using the fashion street kit. :)

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.Spoilerhttps://i.imgur.com/Y08Pne0.jpg

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.Spoilerhttps://i.imgur.com/j7vz5ZQ.jpg
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.Spoilerhttps://i.imgur.com/461Td2b.jpg
Fashion Street - like Throwback Fit - has a very specific style. I love this kit for party and hot weather wear.Spoilerhttps://i.imgur.com/QfmMw7Y.jpg
And the dress is ... epic.Spoilerhttps://i.imgur.com/x03xi7W.jpg
If I could only get one of these kits right now, I would look at the Sims I am currently playing and decide on what I think works best for them.

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. ??
