Not true.
There is a difference between accepted standards and recycling.
If the next installment of The Sims shipped without CAS or build/buy mode, would it still be a Sims game? Many of us feel exactly the same about seasons, vacations, pets, transportation, and a myriad of other things. They are integral to our gameplay and are standards that we expect the development team to meet in each installment of a Sims game.
Recycling is the persistent reuse of assets, animations, and features when new assets, animations, and features would have been demonstrably better. For example, there should have been new animations for reading, watching television, using a tablet or sketchpad, or speaking while on a lounge chair. However, there are none. Instead, the same bolt-upright, awkwardly stiff animations from the base game were reused as a cheap shortcut. That is recycling.

I mostly hear the word "recycled" regard re-skinned objects and re-used animations. Not "Oh look they made an university pack again", which was wished for for years.
Exactly.
