Poolside Splash Kit Review

This Poolside Splash Kit Review is brought to you by the EA Creator Network Program.

Your Sims will be ready to make a splash with this new Kit! The Poolside Splash Kit has new content to update your Sims’ swimwear styles.  We are talking twenty-nine new styles for your swimwear looks!  Many swatches with bright colors and patterns make this kit perfect for taking your beachy looks to Sulani! I have to say I am a big fan of that muted teal and coral.  Love those color tones together!

Above are the twenty-nine pieces of Create A Sim (CAS) content included in the Poolside Splash Kit.  There is a variety of swimwear in many different patterns, as well as new nails, necklaces, shoes, sunglasses, and even kids’ swimwear with floaties.  The bracelet, one pair of glasses, one pair of sandals, and one pair of shorts are for both Masculine and Feminine Sims.

The overall element I enjoy most about this pack is the swatches.  I am not much of a fan of bright colors, except red, black, and dark purple… but these muted tones… I love them.  I already mentioned the teal and orange coral, but this coral and cream pattern is lovely.

Female CAS

There are several options for swimwear for Female Sims in the Poolside Splash Kit.  Some of these options are one piece, and others are two pieces.  The two pieces encourage mixing and matching; the variety of the swimwear and the matching patterns and color palettes allow for many possibilities in different looks.

I honestly had to stop myself at seven different looks for Female Sims, as there is more than just Female Sims CAS content in the Poolside Splash Kit.  I’m going to repeat it, though… that teal.  Love it.  I tried to branch away from the coral orange and muted teal with some pink, purple, and yellow.  Definitely a variety of swatches and styles in this kit.

If you are someone who does not download a lot of CC, this is a handy pack when it comes to Female CAS content.  There are halter tops, monokinis, shorts, two-piece swimsuits, bikini tops, high waist bottoms, swimsuit cover-ups… and I could go on and on.

I will also point out that the swimwear pieces I used for this blog all fit all sizes of Sims.  This is a plus in my book, as I don’t make my Sims all the same size.  I generally use randomly generated Sims for my blogs to get a variety of Sims, and it always turns out well!

Male CAS

For a kit, there is a lot of variety for swimwear and accessories, even for your Male Sims.  I like how the swatches and patterns match each other throughout the different styles.  So yes, there is that flamingo print for almost everything!  Flamingos for everyone!

For the Poolside Splash Kit, I get super beach vibes.  With the open shirts and sandals, this pack is perfect for beachwear and hot weather attire.  Which for EA made content was most definitely needed.

The ability to mix and match the tops and bottoms is a super plus for me.  There are a lot of possibilities, and yes, there are a couple pairs of speedos.

Kids CAS

The only piece in the Poolside Splash Kit for kids is the swimwear outfit with the floaties.  Which is cute and looks good, but you cannot remove the floaties.  Love that crab and fish pattern; it is super cute.

Summary

This kit pack’s highlights are the range of styles and the swatches.  I love the overall color palate and am pleased with the swatches and patterns available.  The only thing I didn’t care for was that the floaties are not an accessory and come with the suit.  I like that two-piece with the floaties on the Female Sims floaty set.

I also like the Speedos; they add more variety than shorts for Male Sims.  Cream, coral, and teals are my favorite colors from this kit, but I like the flamingo pattern.  Overall, this is a great filler pack if you make a lot of lots with pools or take your Sims swimming or to the beach.  There are many options to mix and match for your Sims’ looks.
