A lot of those items look like reskins recolors of items already in the game. And this is why CASt will never come back.

Which items are you referring to?

I just watched the video that James Turner made and the stuff he used look nothing like what’s shown in the photo I saw of the kit content.

Even if you think they do look alike, people would need to buy a bunch of packs to get all the content he used instead of only buying a $5.00 kit. Not everyone has already bought all those packs.

I hope EA does not listen to him about using cc creators to make kits as I think:

1. CC should remain free for those who cannot afford paid content
2. If I wanted to use CC, I would already be doing so and supporting them
3. Some CC creators make really bad content. Harry’s content isn’t the worst, but also isn’t the best that I’ve seen
4. Some CC creators make non-Maxis match content which I don’t want in my game
5. Some CC creators are already making big money and don’t need EA’s help

I think EA game changers should stick to influencing us to buy the game. I’ve noticed that many of them are now just trying to promote their own social media instead of the game so are agreeing with whatever is said by their followers without regard for truth.

Hah, after watching his video, I will say, yes, definitely look like recolors of included items. Do they look identical? No, they look like recolors. Many pieces look like they could not survive a game with CASt.

I don't use CC, fwiw. It was more an issue with CASt not being part of Sims 4 despite it being in a previous iteration. Didn't Sims 2 also have a out-of-game program to recolor and retexture items? I don't even remember. But the step backwards definitely has profit potential for EA.

I think game changers should absolutely give their opinions, btw. They're entertainers, not marketing departments.

Recolours don’t use the same meshes. So if they are not identical in shape, then they are remeshes not recolours. Remeshes take longer to make than recolours, but less time than new gameplay objects.

I miss CASt as well, but I don’t think they purposely excluded it so they can sell recolours or remeshes. TS3 had CASt and sold remeshed objects as well. We can only recolour or retexture stuff with CASt, not remesh them. TS2 had Body Shop.

Yes, game changers should give their opinion, but they should not perpetuate misinformation to gain followers, which is the issue I have with some of them.
