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.

both, everything in that picture in that tweet. english is not my native language so i try to explain as good as i can but. most games do, if you would look those clothes like they would be a sculp in 3D they are different looking and shaped differently on every angle when you rotate the mesh 360 degree. I don't know where they claim but would want to see that statement ?

edit : sims 4 meshes have 3D details, so if they would just use some other color/texture in that object, you could just see that the mesh is still the same but just that it's different color or that the 'fabric' is different, not the mesh it self
