The thing that is crazy to me is that people (including myself) are getting upset that The Sims 4 is recycling content, when in fact TS4 is a recycled idea of itself to begin with!
This is the 4th edition of the series, so of course, some things will be redone and ideas recycled. We are complaining about not having things from past games i.e. cars, cuddling, weather, slow dancing, spiral stairs.. when these have all been done before. The difference now is that EA is doing it wrong by making it so obvious in TS4. We have come accustom having certain things in packs, & it angers past fans that they are not included in the EP that is was in before. This game still 4 years in, lacks the content &charm past games have had so we jump at the chance to liven things up when a new shiny pack is released, no matter how lack luster it may actually be.
Finally - someone else who sees the way it is -who sees complaints about recycling content at the same time complaining this game is missing content the other games in the series had - is sort of - what - contradictory. As Sarah says the sims itself is a recycled idea all from Sims 1 to start with.
Well Sims have a standard way. Just look back to all previous series. It is not like EA is going to give away pets, seasons, university, and etc. So of course people are going to want those things. But that is no excuse for making packs recycle things over and over with the recycled bugs. It is a cheap way to cheat customers out of actual new content. They had the opportunity to make brand new things, they chose the cheapest route of recoloring, not fixing bugs, and leaving out content to resell rehashed items in packs . Even animations are rehashed. Maybe that is why they left out the color wheel.
