Just here to say I love what I've seen so far about this pack. I've loved nontraditional mens couture since the mid-80s when I first started seeing it. My now-husband and I used to buy the European Vogue magazines (which were more interesting than American Vogue) and dream of having money to actually get to buy and wear the more out-there things we saw there (though he does own an early utilikilt that, sadly, no longer fits). Kits are niche; they're not as likely to be where Maxis addresses non-niche things like a big pile of everyday men's clothes that your average Sim will wear or a bunch of punk clothes (which is a style that's been around almost as long as I have). This niche just happens to be my niche. Also one of my sons would absolutely in real life wear almost everything in it if he could afford any of it ever.
(That said, though, I'd love to also see more remeshing of in-game women's wear for masculine frames. But it's never going to be the same as something designed for a masculine frame. In real life, my skinny cis male kid can wear women's shirts — which he often does, for the fit and patterns — without them making him look like he has noticeable breast tissue.)

I've been saying this for ages! I wish they would make versions of all the feminine style clothes to fit the masculine frame and vice versa so that they fit right on sims with any frame type. Would be awesome.
I'm sorry this is a little off topic but I've never watched Schitt's Creek but I've always been interested. I just found out Martin Short (whom I adore!) is a writer/producer on the show, so I think it definitely has to be in my to-watch list.
You lot should get comission for making the show sound so good! Haha
I am looking forward to this kit - I am liking the look of things with every item I see. It has blasted through my game and really woken up my imagination. What a difference clothes can make!

I agree with this so much. I often see comments about how CAS and Build/Buy are not gameplay. While I totally understand that sentiment, for me, an outfit or object set can inspire a new character or a new story, taking me out of my normal, routine gameplay.

Same but also there is plenty of ppl who mainly build or create sims so new items are definitely gameplay for them

And also yeah it actually makes me want to create some sims. It's weird cause usually I struggle with getting myself to play because of my depression but this kit might inspire me to open the game again to try making some different looking male sims.
Just please, please may that denim jacket and jeans set (black in this image) be separates. I really like that jacket. I like the jeans too, but I want to use them separately as well as together.
I really hope that too, but you're right to be concerened, could be either at this point.
The jacket is great. I think both pieces would benefit from being matched with other items. And I have to say, I like what I'm seeing on the stream. I don't love every piece, but the textures are incredible.

Yeah I remember the gurus talking abt the dev that is responsible for all the amazing textures recently I just can't remember who. But some ppl seemed rlly excited for the biker jacket
I saw some of the sweaters that might actually look good on some of my male sims. I also love the pretty lacy skits & sweater dressers for my female sims.
Lots of nice tops, even bottoms and both pair of shoes. The one piece outfits, I can make them work. I really like the casual one piece with the boots. Looking forward to this kit.

Speaking as someone who makes a lot of male sims...
I have to say, I was initially not enthusiastic about the stuff in this kit, but now, after seeing the overview in the livestream, have a lot of ideas for new sims and how my existing sims can benefit from it too.
The selection of tops is *chef's kiss*
This kit and Incheon Arrivals are probably the first two kits that I've actually seriously considered buying.

Yay! The top and bottom are separate!
...
Ah this makes me happy! The potential for mixing and matching is awesome and the jacket is really cool on its own.
I can see a lot of my male sims wearing that jacket
I usually don't participate in the limited threads, but I am a little surprised by all the negativity surrounding this one. I was more put off by Incheon Arrivals' drab colors!
But yeah, I think it will spice up the wardrobe. Usually my... Alt gender(?) Sims end up in something more revealing because it is more expressive, but it will be nice to have some more modest looks that still stand out.
I would probably try the outfits on female Sims, but I adore a lot of the sweaters and wish there were toddler and child versions of those sweaters too. The interview was interesting because they kind of alter the clothing they find in thrift stores, so it uses a lot of classic fashion inspirations such as from Vogue. The outfits remind me a lot of the baby boomer years of fashion which is always fun talking with my parents about how people were then and how they would dress and what was going on at the time.

I really like the jeans with a skirt on them! Wow, that looked so nice.
It is something with having a different visual than just the ordinary two sticks at the bottom. Guys usually just have pant, then you have two legs. Having a line that goes down on the side looks great to me. It catches my eyes. Much more than a skirt just going over in a horizontal line.
I spilled tea on my gaming computer so it sadly fried it the video card and power supply. I ordered a replacement so hope everyone enjoys Simming, the patch, and the kit. So sigh keep truth tea away from all computers.

I did, I'm still lost on Tuesday nights now that it's over. They've already started filming the second season I believe.

In spite of that the Black Friday sale was a success. $$$
