Recycled Animations in Eco Lifestyle
I've seen comments that the Eco Lifestyle contains a lot of previously used animations. I have to admit that I rarely pay much attention to animations, except for the really over the top ones, and tha...

Are there any other recycled animations except this weeding machine one that people have noticed?
I feel like one or two are fine, it makes sense. Why would they spend money and recources on two very similar animations. But I hope there won't be too many recycled ones..
Things I have noticed or saw someone else's noticed:
There's the cuddling with the worm animation that is the same as the cuddle with the hamster from My First Pet SP, the machine that behaves like the scientist invention machine from Get to Work, the recycling machine that is like the cupcake machine animation.
Then the pack comes with new (electric?) bikes that people are assuming are just reskinned bikes from Discover University, there's another one of those tables to sell stuff that already came with City Living and Jungle adventure, the sketch pad that is like well...the sketch pad, the foodstall that looks like a foodtruck but is just a reskinned food stall from City Living, and other packs that I can't remember right now. There's probably more, this is all I can recall now.
The issue here I think is that this was all showcased in the reveal trailer, making people rightly get to the conclusion that these are some of the biggest selling points. And it rubs many simmers the wrong way to see that the biggest selling points of a 40 euro/dollar pack are mostly recycled from other previous paid content.
I am excited to see what more this EP has to offer but I am not going to lie, whoever approved that trailer to be the reveal trailer, made a big mistake. That or really those are the biggest selling points and if that is the case...well...
The trailer did not put a lof of emphasis on what new animations they included if any were included. There's the sim going down the ladder, the candle making and the new vertical garden. A side from that we don't really see anything new.
Honestly though the sims don't even walk down the ladder, they slide down.
So that isn't a very new animation either since sliding down like that is far easier to animate, and walking up has already been animated for IL. And a vertical garden isn't an animation per se, we don't yet know how they'll plant or garden in it - if those will be real animations or not is anyone's guess right now.
The veritical garden might be animated by invisible OMSPs. If no one knows what those are there are some on Mod The Sims that explain how they are used. Usually for stacking without seeing the object to stack the stuff.
