The heavy decor and clutter items in the ts4 is mostly due to players complaining that there wasn't enough decor and clutter in ts3.
I do agree that CASt should of been carried into ts4 but on a smaller scale. No need for over 100+ textures all they need is the color wheel. Since the only real issue with CASt was all the textures.
And I wouldn't say that I value more content over powerful creative systems but more that I want content that I actual like and want to use and ts3 even with CASt didn't offer me much content that I personally liked so going from maybe 40 pieces max I liked to a plethora of pieces the lack of CASt doesn't bother me that much.
Edit: Changed number cause I feel like I low balled the number and 40 sounds more accurate.
