People can't make up thir minds - as during Sims 3 people complained of content from Sims 2 being recycled in the Sims 3, Then here SOME people of Sims 4 is complaining of stuff being recycled with in the game on one hand while I see other asking for gps of small pets and more recolors of the sets as well some wanting gps and sps on more careers for GTW and other eps. So they want packs for some eps but oddly this sp for an ep with some recolors is wrong. How the heck can devs know what you mean when other people say the opposite as more color swatch of items already in the game are re-colors - are they not? More careers for GTW is a sp or gp for an ep is it not? Sims 3 players not wanting copies of styles from Sims 2 - is it not recycled content from other games which some of you here say you want - but some of you didn't want in Sims 3.
I'm lost and I am just another player but obviously no matter what the devs do some one is going to complain. Oh and those wanting packs and recolors - when I brought up this outrage here says it's different because those packs have been out a while - when in truth it is the same darn thing. Pardon me - but - people really need to get together and make one choice - additions to eps and recolors/new swatches - either no one should want them or every one should - the time the pack has been out should make no difference - seeing if you want devs to deliver every one really need to be on the same page.
I dunno a person who would ask for a small pet (singular, and no: reskins of rants in different yet same 4-5 looking colors don't count as plural) in one game pack. There should more than that.
And If they're doing more color swatches, add them as such but not as different objects with an icon clogging up the space in the catalog section of that said item. They shouldn't give up on trying faking/tricking us into believing that there is more to the pack that it actually is. Enough with the insults.
As for dog and cat content included, people have suggesting giving us for FREE and yet I to hear someone else from a different side of the argument being against such proposal. So what were you saying about "no matter what the devs do some one is going to complain" ?

You mean back to the time of the color wheel when we weren't charged to re color something. And there's no need to dig around the forums to find contradiction as that will somehow dissolve the seriousness of the deceitful business practices of EA/Maxis
And I wonder why the heck people are still not making rents about the lack of cast and demands for it to reappear for clothing, hair and furniture . I mean why are not making a voice when it's evidential they have no problem creating as they had ALREADY CREATED FOR CREATE-A-PET? Are we gonna continue believing in those lousy Bullplumb excuses? Sure enough, developers want nothing more than $$$$$$ for doing minimal to little no effort/work put it.

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.
Again, you just read between the lines or nd just read the title of this thread and didn't bother reading the OP's post. We do not have the actual problem we have with such reuse practice, which is not the one YOU'RE talking about. The Issue we're discussing is
NOT about the content from
PAST GAMES games delivered. It's about things
from The Sims 4 to The Sims 4 repasted from one DLC to another DLC (e.g. that racoon suit from CL expansion pack to PH game pack).
What's is particularly is annoying:
1) Instead of making something as a recolor swatch option for the blatantly obvious identical object, they are releasing it as If as a new object.

Now explain the reason, why are there are four objects of the cage in the buy mode catalog oppose to idk..... at the very least either make big changes to the cage itself or just add an option to purchase a one rodent from the different provided reskin rodents to choose from the ONE object. Okay maybe I don't know how to word this, but a game changer at worded it better at the issue I'm addressing in the beginning of his video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=650Ie0NDkP0
There are countless of examples. Some hair assests (I heard it's from C&D to the base game) is blatant looks recycled (could have just patched it in to be Base game exclusive, because that's what it is and where it belongs), one particular armchair with different pattern from CL is retextured (again, why isn't that patched in?), the bush from GT is recycled to JA (not gonna consider patching that in to be JA-exclusive?), that retail table from CL to JA with some of the reports how the formal is broken with glitches/bug, etc and etc. And don't tell me all the social interactions in the BASE GAME within the BASE GAME all bunch are different, because what I see them: RECYCLEMENT but different labels for each one/interaction and a different relationship gain/drop. If those had different impact in the game or whatever, I wouldn't be pointing guns. How come TS2 doesn't recycled its animation from its game? Developers could learn a thing or two If they consider paying attention to this retrospective.
2)Reusing broken/glitchy/bug mechanics/systems to another pack. Players have MASSIVELY reported how the retail system is so broken, making it impossible to run a shop of any kind (store, bakery, bontique), and instead of tackling the issue guess what? REUSE THE SAME SYSTEM TO CREATE A FUNCTIONAL VET. Brilliant.
If EA/Maxis was a mechanic, that sold the car to us (TS4 is general or the base game), we are essentially tempted and kinda in a way force to buy other cars (DLC) to get the pieces our initial product needs. Interior seats, belts, radio, heat conditioner? Lol there is no such thing but you can get those from purchasing another car to install these items to your first vehicle that are same brand-ed. I know this analogy is over-exaggrated because I'm no car-geek expert, not that I own one at all, but I hope you do get the idea. It's like ikea, but all the assets that fit and
belong to that furniture object are resold in another object set: especally that are way overpriced and expensive.
Actually, better analogy. Buying a table from IKEA, Well, sucks for you: it is missing one leg. Don't worry, just buy another different table that has the exact leg piece that the table you already purchased is missing it. A desk chair caught your eye? Great, you purchase but upon opening the package you realize it's missing soft fabric or the back to lean over. You need to buy the package that is selling a dining chair that includes these sort of pieces. And the story repeats...
