Sims 4 "create-a-style-tool"?

Sims 4 being an MMO is literally the worst idea they could have come up with.

I know that someone has created a tool that allows recolors in some fashion for the current CAS demo. I haven't used it, but I'm hopeful that same tool can be used, or can be modified to be used, for the live game. I just can't live without purple everything.

I'll buy the game if they give everyone a Create a Style tool with the color wheel that is separate (and free) from the actual Sims 4 game. I say separate because one of the gurus said CASt cannot be implemented in the Sims 4 due to...reasons. I think the separate software will allow fans the level of customization that they want for their sim objects and clothing without causing the lag that it did in the Sims 3. With the separate software, you should be able to just open up the tool, recolor whatever you want, and upload it to your game.

Agreed. It could work a lot like CAP (create a pattern) did for Sims 3.

Some people will flag anything, don't sweat it.

Just so long as they code it well! The way they implemented it in TS3 was asinine. First year coders could have implemented a better system for storying the arrays of swatches in memory. It was a brilliant tool, but poorly implemented.

LOL. no. They will probably put all the "missing features" such as create a style, In expansions.

I actually might pay for CASt and a colorwheel if they don't give it to us for free. It's sad I know, but I really loved CASt. And I don't know what they are thinking, with the dinky little neighborhoods loading up this time around, CASt shouldn't be too much of a shock to the system as it was in TS3.

I doubt we'll ever see CAST in the main game but a simple tool to edit UV map textures would be perfect. Being able to make a custom color swatch wouldn't kill performance.

unfortunately The CASt was the MAIN REASON The Sims 3 was so LAGGY even on high end rigs. So EA scrapped it. I am on their side, in this issue, Why put in something that will just hold back another franchise? If TS4 had Create a style, it wouldn't be anything more that a Sims 3.5... I honestly never used CASt.. it was clunky and just boring in my opinion.. I won't miss pools or toddlers or cars either..

I know I'm going to get shunned for this, but I agree with you on CASt, and pools. I literally never made them, but that doesn't change the fact that some people did and they wanted to have the option to create them. I'm still on the side of wanting toddlers back though. I can understand cutting CASt to improve game performance, but I really can't understand what cutting toddlers and pools really did to improve TS4.
