Opinions on Goth makeover?

I don't mind how they look in this update, except for Alexander when aged up. (I mean, my god, why did they bother to do this update and not check his older look.) But are these updates really only going to be cosmetic? No likes/dislikes, no connection to other sims, no lore? I don't get it. Anyone who had issues with skin tone from previous iterations could easily just take them into CAS and make those changes to their liking. I guess it's fine that they want to correct a mistake they made 8 years ago. But I'm attached to the Goths after a few years of playing the sims 4 and giving them my own makeovers. Did we need whole new versions? Couldn't the time and effort be spent on better things?

If this is part of the lore update then I don't think that word means what they think it means.
