Wetsuit management - storage & wearing

[UglyMonsterFace]

Can you actually use the changing rooms to change into the wet suit? Cuz I tried and I couldn't find any of my way suits...

No the wetsuit isn't clothing (I mean it doesn't act like clothing in the game, haha)
I was going to use the changing room to put my snorkel on and take off bags and hats etc.

Ohh I see okay. I understand. Yeah i figured. It kinda sucks but i expected it because that's how it worked in New Leaf. I was just hoping I could put it on my wand. That would have been the most convenient thing ever so of course that wouldn't be possible

So you can't put the wetsuit over a wand outfit... BUT it turns out you can put a wand outfit over the wetsuit. This might be a working solution for those of y'all who wear the same outfit every day - you just have your diving gear on under the wand outfit, then take it off to swim.

I change outfits every day and I don't use wands, so I'm probably gonna just carry my wetsuit around as another tool and create a changing room area for the accessories lol

This really had me annoyed for the most part of the day, not being able to make it a wand outfit. Had to drop my wand and then equip the outfit. However FINALLY figured out you can "revert" with the wand. So I'm just always constantly wearing my swimsuit under my wand outfit. Works for me. Good enough.

Though I totally knew a girl who did this in like 3rd grade.

No shame at all!

I'm going to try to collect all the variants and keep the 3 I like best, for my 3 characters. I'll giveaway the rest. Always gonna carry one along with my usual set of items. I don't use wands so the only other issue is shopping at Ables, but the suit comes off quick so that's good.

The first thing I wanted to do today was to rearrange a wand outfit with a snorkel to match my wetsuit. Was so annoyed when I found out I can't wear it over a wand outfit or assign it to my tool ring

I mean, I was fine how it worked in NL but now that we've got a wand and a tool ring, it just feels like a huge missed opportunity to only be able to equip your wetsuit from your inventory and wear it with your non-wand outfit. QoL improvements are so strange with this game.

So I guess I'll just forget about getting a cute outfit for swimming and focus on the sea creatures instead.

Thankfully I’ve had a cooler on my beach for awhile anyway so I’ll probably just quickly change outfits rather than taking up spots in my inventory where sea critters could go...

 

[Sloom]

since i lichrally never use my non-wand outfit i didnt really care about just stripping and whacking on a wetsuit

I have ordered about 3 different coloured water shoes from nook shopping though and also the nook inc wetsuit so hopefully I'll be able to come up with something cute for swimming. honestly though in nl it was impossible for me to make a wetsuit outfit look good so maybe I'll just have to deal with being ugly to make blathers happy

Just a heads up, there was actually a decent 'Leaf Wetsuit' in Nook's Shopping today.

It's better than those hideous striped ones!

 

[Biyaya]

It's just a wetsuit.

I put it on over everything.
Shoes and all, because what's the point of taking them off.

100%, there's no real reason to taking everything off for a virtual swim, but I do it anyways for virtual style.

I have coolers at my beach and i have a "summer-y" outfit equipped with water sandals, snorkel, and a hibiscus hair pin as my default/non-wand outfit

I just equip the wetsuit over that

Y'all gone swimming yet?!

Actually, the first thing I tried was seeing how the wetsuit worked. And could I use it while wearing a a wand outfit? No. Could I assign it to a wand outfit? Nope. Could I equip it from a wardrobe? Also nope? Really? Can't assign to my tool ring either?

So what are your plans to change into your wetsuit and cute swimming outfit? I'm definitely never swimming with shoes on and no snorkel, backpack or pochette getting soaking wet. I gotta change outfits. I'm thinking of stashing wardrobe furniture in my beach areas. Coolers, changing rooms... Hopefully we can get a treasure chest in the update. And just keeping my wetsuit in my inventory, or stored until I need it. You'd have to manually change clothes, but oh well.

Any other ideas?

one of the items you can get from gullivaar is a treasure chest

Since I plan to meet Pascal everyday, I just have the wetsuit take up a space on my inventory. Or just wear it everyday. But out of courtesy for others when trading, I take it off.
