I don't have nostalgia towards the Goths from previous games so I found the 2014 versions just fine.
The updated Goths ain't it. These efforts towards remaking the base game sims seem completely unnecessary to me. People who have issues/concerns with premade sims already have so many options to address them. Deleting sims... giving a personal makeover... grabbing something similar off the Gallery. As some have said it's been 8 years. Anybody really bothered by a sim's look would have done something about it by now. I don't get why the devs felt the need to do this.
Well on the bright side at least these changes don't effect existing saves.
