Do You Care Throwback Meshes Are Recolors?
I just saw a lot of the clothes (CAS Assets) are recolors or retextures of Meshes already in your games you may have purchased in other packs. Does this bother you that again you are paying for Recol...

My answer was not really on the poll. In short: I do care. I cannot recolor my own clothes so I am not against all of it and it is a common practice as well. However, specifically in the case of Throwback, it makes the value proposition of the CAS kits that much worse.
As the exemplar pack of CAS kits, I expect it to set the tone for those future kits and the tone is not a good one. It is sold as bite size expansion for the way you play, but it seems to me that CAS got the short end of the stick. A CAS kit with just clothes (no accessories, jewelry, tattoos, makeup, or anything new like body hair) is the equivalent of a BB kit with just clutter. You can still have that subjective value judgement based on your play style, but by design it seems held back in comparison.
Bust the Dust is completely new gameplay. I am still torn on the BB packs, but they were different types of furniture and clutter in Country Kitchen and they work off the grid. Then there is Throwback asking $5 for just clothes when there are so many CAS variety and has recolors on top of it. I do not like the CAS kits because they are CAS kits and CAS is innately worth less. I dislike CAS kits because they could and should be more for the price.
