Would you buy packs with "atavist" assets?
I have been thinking about this for years and always thought I was the only one that would enjoy this, but I decided to ask you guys how you feel about this idea. What does atavism means? "a tendency to revert to something ancient or ancestral". It basically means throwback, which I decided not to use so no one would confuse with the "throwback fit kit".
Without further ado, those kits would contain CAS or Build and Buy assets that were previously added in Sims 1, 2 and 3. I feel like its such a shame that EA has a HUUUUGE catalog of 3D models, art designs and assets ready to be used, but are left in the past, when it could only improve our content quantity and cut corners without lefting us with our hands empty.
As an example, I'll use Simsi45 convertion from Sims 2 Family Fun to Sims 4. It came with two separate sets, one was an underwater/mermaid themed bedroom set, while the other one was a castle/princess set. Here is the image of the B&B assets (they don't convert CAS assets unfortunately):

Ok... and by "packs with atavist assets" I mean as an example... imagine if we had gotten Island Living exactly as it is, but if it was shipped with the whole "underwater themed" set converted from Sims 2? Or maybe some sets from Sims 3 Island Paradise? or assets from Sims 3 Barnacle Bay or SUnlit Tides? Converting assets is always cheaper and quicker than creating something from scratch, and it would cut corners by adding more/extra content to us players and still allowing the devs with the rest of their budget for new thingsgameplay/CAS and B&B.
Attention: I'm not saying I want this to substitute the new assets we got in Sims 4 packs, but rather a whole new "atavist" set with the new assets sets in such packs. And maybe we could even get (as an example) the castle set in a cheaper kit.
Sims 1 would be a little more expensive, as it didn't had 3D assets, but only had 2D images, but at least we could get some throwback/atavist stuff packs with new assets inspired by the ones in Sims 1.
This could be things from extra columns, plants, doors, windows, flooring, wallpaper, roofing, hairstyles, clothing, beards, tattoos, accessories, bedroom sets, living room sets, dining room sets, etc...
Another example I could give is Laundry Day... we could've gotten both the assets we had + the Sims 3 ambition assets related to laundry that had a totally different style and even the laundry machine/dryer had a different feel to them. More modern and posh.
