Edit 2: I am also curious as to how exactly they will count the votes. Surely they want the CAS assets to be "even" and have a "good mix" of female, men, kid, and toddler. So, if the voting puts more weight on male clothing or kids for example, will they honor the votes and go with it or will they just pick the most voted from each category? If that is the case, then this voting is not 100% ours.
I wrote "even" and "good mix" in quote marks because it doesn't mean for me what it means for the devs. For the devs based on the last 4 or 5 packs "good mix" means 70% female adult, 29% male adult and 1% kid/toddler.
I just read this description given by EA_Mai in another thread:
Clothing Style Vote (Late January 2020): Review concept art of families wearing different styles of clothing and decide on your favorite clothing style. This will influence the look of the clothing in the pack.
The last sentence tells me that the voting is not 1:1 which I guess makes sense but I really hope that we don't end up getting only one item for toddlers and one items for kids. I also would hope they would explain better how they will use our votes.
To your previous point: I don't think the things we can knit (to wear) are separate from CAS ... if only because there are legwarmers included in the shoes, scarves included in the clothes,... I really
hope there's a whole set of gameplay-related extra's we can knit (mittens/gloves, separate scarves, extra legwarmers, ...) but why not include those when they include the hats? And why the silence? Honestly ... I'm happy for the most part with TS4 but I can already hear the "10 budget reasons why we didn't include the most expected items in a pack they fit in perfectly" speech. And I am kinda tired of hearing it. Where are the really useful space-saving items in TL SP? It's a great SP but still ... I'm not blaming the devs persé, I'm sure it's a budgetary issue, but it's also tiring. And if they release a knitting pack without separate scarves and mittens .. ? Yeah, I'll have a serious issue with that. I don't just want pretty CAS and BB, I want fleshed out themes. Whether they cost me 10, 20 or 40.
