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...

Which people mistakenly call 'recolors' but I call retextured.
@Cinebar Retextured, or slightly altered mesh or a recolor to me is same difference in this context because what people are trying to say is that they don't see a lot of hard work put in those outfits. The fact that they are using the incorrect vocabulary of course shouldn't happen but at the end of the day they are trying to say that they don't see a lot of creativity, effort and maybe even time put in these pieces of CAS and that to them is a dealbreaker.
I think that's a fair thing to say even if it was expressed in an incorrect way.
I agree with you. I wasn't pointing out you used the terms incorrectly we all say recolors for twenty years when maybe I should say different swatch or whatever terms TS4 uses. People in TS2 say recolors which can cover a simple different color or a different texture. But it's all the same mesh in many cases, recoloring is simple in many cases, retexturing takes more time because you can add things that were not there before...and why meshes being reused is evident in TS4 a lot of the times. Like folds of a bottom or skirt or whatever. I'm fussing at anyone using the wrong terms I say recolors myself. But a different swatch could maybe explain what I meant in the title of my thread. Because a swatch could be wool or silk...lol
but im trying to say that IT IS NOT the same mesh, it's really different. It looks different shape in every angle if you spin you're sims in cas.
game devs do that in everygame , they may have base meshes , or uses different meshes sleevs to make something else. They are still so different
Do you mean the skirt pictured or the pants? I don't agree every game by Maxis uses a base mesh then just adds or takes away something to make it slightly different. To my knowledge they claim everything in all these games is made from scratch. ETA: But TS4's CAS may be the only one where I might questioned them about that. ETA: I was also critical of TS3's store where couches and other things like that looked like the same 3D couch to me, but with a different swatch to make it look a different style....but I would say something and everyone would say no, no it's a different couch, lol, I was not convinced since I saw the same detail of a previous couch just with a different swatch that made it look slightly different than the one before.
