Wetsuit Woes

[Bcat]

Let me preface this by saying that I LOVE diving. I’ve wanted this since the game came out and I’m thrilled with just about everything about it so far! That said, is anybody else a bit disappointed in the lack of variety available in the wetsuits? The only one that’s pink to match my snorkel is the leaf one, and it isn’t exactly my cup of tea.

Not only that, but you can’t use the wetsuits with wands either! That’s something I would actually use my wand for: to register a wetsuit, snorkel, matching accessory, and no shoes or socks. As is, if I want to throw a wetsuit on over my clothes then my shoes and socks are left on, which looks stupid. If I take them off, then that adds to my inventory and I have less room for sea creatures in my pockets. The only solution is to run home and put my clothes away every time I want to go diving, which is a pain. This could all be so much easier if it would just let me register a wetsuit to a wand!!!!!

Pardon my rant. ~

I would like more variety as well, I'm not a fan of any of them, really! Or maybe even getting to design our own... that would be cool, but probably not likely.

 

[seliph]

i really like the nook inc one, it'd be cool if it was available with different accent colours though

i don't use wands but it does annoy me that the ables' changeroom doesn't unequip it like it does with the construction helmet and i gotta manually remove it every time

 

[Pintuition]

I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of the wetsuits either! My only hope is that since this feature was just released, maybe they'll come up with better suits in the future as time goes on.

I've been keeping wetsuits on the beach just for easy access and leaving unwanted clothes there. But this doesn't really help when people are over! They're still some obvious kinks that need to be worked out of this!

The nook inc one is also my favourite, it happens to have my favourite colour as an accent colour as well. More variety would have been nice though... Maybe in the future?

The wand thing is too bad. I can work with it though, I guess.

 

[Cosmic-chan]

I don't know,, i've always seen wand outfits as fake clothing. Like a magical girl transformation illusion so maybe that's why I'm not bothered by the wand thing plus I never use the wand.

 

[JKDOS]

Well probably unlock more variety as time goes on. We might see some from events like Bunny day, fish/bug competition, etc.

It's kinda a hassle too when you try to use the fitting room at the Able Sisters while wearing your swimsuit and being told you have to take it off first. It wasn't an issue trying to change clothes from your swimsuit if you're at Harvey's island, though.

EDIT: Wetsuit colours do change occasionally. I had RNG where the same colour was being sold for two days in a row.

 

[Jhine7]

At least you can "revert outfit" with the wand.

 

[JellyBeans]

yeah I recently started using the wand and it's got some flaws, but I just have my wetsuit outfit as my 'base' and then put on my wand outfits (or 'normal') over the top. only time it reallyyy bugs me is when I try to use the changing room!

 

[SugarMage]

I also wish I could just use the wand when I wanna change into my wetsuit...

This is actually a pretty good idea!

 

[FRANS_PLAYER]

I have an insane amount of clothes so it takes forever to get to the bottom of my storage and dig my wetsuit out! I'd really like it as a wand outfit

 

[Tatimari]

Something that might save time and help would be to put some coolers and other such themed furniture around your beaches where you dive! Whatever matches your beach themes.

That's what I do and it saves time from having to run home and change clothes, without clogging your inventory. You can just change at the cooler in and out of your outfits no problem!

 

[Halloqueen]

Definitely not fond of the wet suits currently available. I like every wet suit variation from New Leaf way more than any of the ones currently in New Horizons. The only one that's sort of okay to me is the Nook Inc. one. Hopefully more styles and colors will be added in the future.

 

[Xara]

i’d definitely like some variety as well - i’m not really a fan of any of the wetsuit designs besides maybe the black and white striped one ;w;

 

[happyabg]

I'm disappointed about variety of swimsuits being locked behind online memberships....

Can you please let me know what you meant by that? All the wetsuits are available no matter what unless I am missing something.

 

[meggiewes]

I'm disappointed about variety of swimsuits being locked behind online memberships, but I'm really not surprised.

Which ones are locked behind Nintendo Online? From what I've seen, the colors for the basic striped ones and the leaf wetsuit change. Then there is the special black and real one from the Nook Stoo.

 

[Corrie]

I really wish there was a pink stripe wetsuit!

 

[Coach]

I actually really like the leaf ones so I'm satisfied with what there is atm, but I recognise that there is so much possibility for more and I'm sure they will add more in the future. I would guess Wave 2 of the summer update will have more designs, or at least hope so. Nook shopping rotating between recolours of the same single wetsuit forever would be an odd design choice.

I lost interest in the wands immediately after I learned that when you used one clothing once, it couldn't be reused for a different outfit. There are also water shoes that come in various colors to match your wet suits if you wanted to wear shoes with a wet suit on.
