Won't There Be Underwear and Swimwear? «12...Next Go

They were conspicuously absent from the video.

I hope now that they can have these amazing bodies, they can show off!

And, come on, pools are a The Sims staple. I cannot imagine a base game shipping without pools.

But shouldn't those categories show up at CAS?

I noticed this too. I wonder if underwear is going to be combined with sleepwear again. I could not spot the swimwear category. I wonder if we will be able to pick the underwear per outfit or if we can have a Sim walk around without any underwear under their outfit because not everyone wears underwear.

I was also hoping for an outerwear category. Even if we don't get weather in the beginning, I would like to pretend until we do.

Looks like drawls to me! I'm sure they just didn't add it in, or it could be under the sock category.

Since it looks like they've organized everything, maybe there's a swimwear tab under the athletic section?

I'm so glad to see the CAS organized. I really hope the other categories are broken down too so we can sort shorts from skirts and long pants, etc. It'll make it so much easier to put together new outfits.

That's a legging, pantyhose category. That item is a dark pantyhose. The "model" sim has underwear because they wouldn't have the "model" naked.

I'm completely into dudes, but Bella was smokin' hot! Seriously! Those curves (which could potentially look fake) seemed to fit the bill. I just hope I don't see too many townies running around with maxed out sliders, like the TS3: LN bouncers >.< That was unnatural...

So I'm waiting to see if they add underwear as a separate category, but they'll 99% add swimwear (they have pools, right?).

Wow, I just realized the significance of this. We can put leggings on our sims underneath their shorts or skirts or short dresses WITHOUT it being the actual style of the shorts (or whatever) like it is now.

If they've gone even further and put jackets and vests separate, that would be AWESOME!!!

We could layer our sims clothes making the outfits much more personalizable (is that even a word?) and versatile. :P

Yes.

All jackets we've seem seem to be part of the top, not separate.

Do you guys really think they'd have a sock category full of socks but won't give sims underwear? Come on now. :roll: Just because you didn't see it in the trailer doesn't mean it won't be in the game and visa versa. There's the sleepwear at the top and I'm positive if you click on it you will get sleepwear chock full of panties and such just like in TS3.

Maybe the swimwear is part of athletic since swimming is technically a sport!

You do have a point... I must admit that I was worried about not having a swimwear category too, but there was this label floating around:
So we could take it as they are not showing everything at once now. :?

I think they mean if there will be a separate category from sleepwear or not, like in TS2.

You know what, that actually makes perfect sense! I did notice how organized they were, so maybe that's what they're doing.

This wouldn't make sense since none of the other categories has sub categories for one outfit. They just created more sorters for the same outfit. It does look like the game lets you have more than one outfit for a category like in The Sims 3.

It would be a pain in the butt to have to change the Sim into swimwear each time they went to the pool otherwise they would be jumping into the pool in their workout outfit. I would rather have swimwear be a category instead of a sub category.

If we don't have a swimwear category, how would the game change the sims intio swimwear?

orkhid22

more info will come. seems like you want to know EVERYTHING at once. swimwear and underwear was in TS2 and TS3. I didn't play TS1 I wouldn't know unfortunately.

there is another build video coming; E3. we'll know more soon I'm sure.

It wouldn't be a category like underwear isn't a category in The Sims 3. Underwear is under sleepwear in The Sims 3. Without them being separate categories, the player would have to switch the clothing options each time they wanted their character to jump in a pool (if pools are included) or hop on a treadmill.

Here's a pic from the previous video of underwear...I have yet to find swimear, though...or even pools, which is worrying.



I have a feeling they've just consolidated some of the categories like in TS3. I'm hoping they have sub-categories within them, though...*fingers crossed*

If there is no swimwear that also means there won't be any hot tubs in the base game.

Why is everyone so unnecessarily stressed out over the lack of a swimwear icon in the video. It doesn't mean that CAS has been finalized as yet.

By the way, in the stylized looks section I noticed that there is an extra slot at the end of the tab right after the party balloon icon. They could be going to put the swimwear there for all we know. Check out the arrow in the pic.


And Sims base games have always been accommodating. Like in Sims 3 when we got Seasons, the wardrobe tabs were updated to include Outerwear and there was enough space to include it too. If you look back on the picture you can see that the green rectangle has space to hold even a couple more tabs (1 at least and 2 at most it looks like).

So cheer up guys!!

P.S. - I'm sorry my picture quality isn't so great. It's the first time I've tried inserting a picture into my comments and boy was it hard. I had to rack my brain trying to think of a creative way to get it in to show you guys what I mean.

MadameLee

you do realize that those underwear could also quickly substitute for swimwear?

Celiria

If you look above the clothing images there is a sun icon, a tie icon, a soccer ball icon, a moon icon, and a party gallon icon.

I'm pretty sure underwear would fall into the sleep wear icon (moon) just like it was in Sims 3. As for swimsuits I am with others that it likely has been combined with athletic. I can't see them removing swimming pools and swimming.

We'll just have to wait and see. The game isn't finished yet.
