The potential is with younger players who love anything Disney or Star Wars and have never tried a Sims game but may like other simulations, even on mobile. The Disney+ service just launched within the last year and there's an entire Star Wars segment with all of the films in the franchise as well as every series and a show about Galaxy's Edge. The Mandalorian is huge right now.

People who have been to Galaxy's Edge, love Star Wars, and/or used to play the Sims a long time ago seem to be interested. Sims players who love to make creative builds or stylists who see the potential in CAS seem excited. And while the forums have been full of a lot of loud people protesting the pack, there are still threads where others are enjoying the pack and new people keep popping in who have decided to try it out and like it. I also think that, because of the public aggressive hostility that's been shown for this pack, that those who like it tend to be quieter about it because of fear of backlash from others. Some people don't like confrontation and don't care to get into a cage match over their right to enjoy something.

I'm not saying that players who hate the Star Wars pack are definitely in the minority, I just don't think there's an accurate overall representation on social media.

I agree because yesterday, I seen a youtuber who had complained with the masses about Star Wars being included in the Sim 4, review the pack after receiving a "free copy" have positive and excited comments on CAS clothing... stating that they think the clothing can be worn for everyday, basic Sims play... To each his own, but not my Sim...
