Incheon Arrivals and Fashion Street Kits Discussion

These two kits were announced today. Let's discuss them. Predictions, issue, ideas, interests, or lack of interests.
Does the Incheon Arrivals Kit really only have 3 items? Does the Fashion Street Kit, which I already have the bad habit of calling the Mumbai Kit, really only have 2 items? The announcements combined with the announcement's title images indicate that the Incheon Kit has at least 4 clothes and the Fashion Street Kit has at least 6 clothes and multiple jewelry pieces. What are your thoughts?
In the end I am very curious. I was hoping to find out if there will be more items or if that information is not yet public. The announcements for those Kits were made today.
Honestly, the description listed on Origin for the Incheon Arrivals Kit made me excited for airports, but I doubt they will add another big ticket item to the list of releasable content for the Sims 4.
What do people from those countries think? Are they insulted by the fact that they only get small kits while Japan and England got complete expansion packs, or is this really not that big of a deal? I hope they have a decent number of items.

Not that I expected them to only have a few items. The only Kit that has less than 10 items is the Bust the Dust kit, and that one has an entire gameplay system with it, so I'm willing to give it a pass on only a few items. Everything else has had a respectable number of assets.
One of my biggest complaints about Throwback is that all it had was clothes when CAS has so much more to offer, and Fashion Street has some really nice accessories (plus an outfit I'd want even as a singular item and lots of nice color pieces). So I'm definitely grabbing that one.
Incheon Arrival... The clothes look comfy and to some degree like stuff I actually wear, but muted and dull colors irritate my retinas like garish colors do to others'. Especially off whites. I despise ivory, cream, eggshell, etc. and pretty well every hue of brown. So I'm kind of torn here, even if the clothes would match some of my more homely Sims. I don't know. Maybe I'll grab it since I like Fashion Street so much.
I'm quite excited for both. The South Asian kit seems to have captured the beauty of our fashion. Though not nearly enough jewelry or variety. We have hand made saris,lenghas,salwar kameezes etc. That goes on For years and years and still you will never see the end of it. Because they are constantly making new ones daily! If anyone has seen an older bollywood move that's a good example. Though I'm from Sri lanka we share the same fashion and culture with most of South Asian with minor differences.
But this is a kit afterall. So can't expect much.
If you just walk into our bracelet store the entire store will be covered in bracelets of all size, shape, color, and sparkle you can imagine. South Asia is a fashion heaven. The henna was a nice addition. I love henna!! I should start doing my own again....
I am not offended it's just a kit. I couldn't care less about culture representation. Honestly just want a fun engaging game and wouldn't care if I never saw anything related to me. Give me adventure, drama, lore, challenge, consequences, and zombies. I'll be happy.
But since this is here it's nice to have. 😁 and since I enjoy CAS I'll have fun making some South Asian families and maybe a simself too.
I even changed my avatar to show off some of the fashion 😄
The Korean kit is fun too! I have Korean friends and I'm a big fan of the country/culture and people. Korean fashion is the total opposite of South Asia but it's really nice in a different way! I have quite a few Korean outfits and my brother has these super fashionable Korean clothes I brought for his birthday. He gets so many compliments on it.
I don't think this kit has captured the "best" of K fashion but it's really nice stuff and I have a lot of East Asian sims so this is perfect.
In general they do tend to wear muted colors a lot in Korea.
Would we nice to get a b/b CAS to go along with these. Always wanted to make a South Asian house but even with cc couldn't find much.
Thank you for the link! That clears up a lot. I did not have access to my twitter at the time. I was not aware.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to play the game yet today, but I am excited to hear that they added something to the base game for it.
You know, I agree with you. My issue with throwback was that it didn't have that diversity of outfit components. I like that the Fashion Street pack offers mehndi/henna and jewelry. Also, while I wish there was lehenga in the pack, I am pleased that it is more than just clothes. It is nice to be reminded of that perspective.
Saris are unstitched wraps and lehengas are stitched three-piece attires. Both may be used for weddings and others

I like both of these kits better than Throwback but fashions are all personal tastes. I agree that Incheon is a bit neutral but I like some of it. Neutrals can be a good thing for me because sometimes I want more lowkey characters. It has been a while since CL came out so I do think "global content" needed an update.
It's nice to have fashion that doesn't meet real life, for simlish, and fashion that does meet real life for rp purposes. I just wish there was a chance to include more.
You know the one thing that would have been totally cool in my mind would have been hair pieces. Hair jewelry would have been perfect for this and it is something that has not been included in kits previously. I wonder if we will get some at some point in the future.
I relate to this. I am pretty easy going in real life and quite easily entertained. ... Although, while I love adventure, I usually just play for family dynamics.
I have been wanting this as well. Part of me feels like either of these could have easily been expanded into Stuff Packs with CAS and build. Although, I'm not sure if that is where the community is right now. I personally would have bought it, especially if it included cooking tools and items, unique appliances, jewelry pieces, decor, exterior fixtures, and musical instruments. I think it would be really nice if they teamed up with content creators from South Asia.
What is it specifically you always wish was in the game b/b wise?
the korean kit is too boring for me...idk...do like them shoes tho.
Those dresses are so lovely, especially the second one. Love the hair piece from the first picture. I would've bought the pack for those, however neither pack has any major draws for me. At least one lovely dress like these and perhaps some small extra would've been nice. No kid pieces. Perhaps a kid toy. Both are a pass for me. Will pick them up later in a bundle of some sort or cheaply.
Im curious about the 3rd global cas kit they mentioned too. Im hoping for something African inspired which would hopefully give you some lovely new colourful outfits and hairstyles.
I really like how graceful a lot of those clothes look.
But the kits that appeal to me the most are the CAS kits. I just prefer not to use too much CC in my game.
I really like these two. I hate to say it but I'll probably purchase both eventually. The two female full body outfits in fashion street are gorgeous. I also find Incheon so versatile and very in line with my personal taste.
I was just thinking the other day, while in CAS, that we have nearly no lingerie. A pack of that sort and goth clothes/stuff would be nice. I'm not a goth person IRL, however I love Gunther Goth and love that style. I would love a belly button diamond and also a belly chain. These new packs just seem like plain clothes for me. I may have saw one or two things, but nothing worth the money. I also wish they would do a toy pack of some sort and toddler stuff. Back in the Sims3 store days, people went wild over the walker, playpen, ect stuff. Not sure why we don't have something like that. A wedding dress pack with new cakes ect. would be a huge hit. A pack with urns, tombstones, a death flower ect. would probably be a great seller.
