I had the same though when I saw it, I feel like they took an existing hairstyle and piece of clothing, and just modified it a bit, I even did took a screenshot of the outfit we already have to show a friend how similar it was.
I wish they would stop wasting time on stuff packs, and would use that time on fixing bugs and glitches.
Very unlikely that the people drawing and designing stuff packs are the people programming bug fixes
People need to stop to act like the team making the SP are plum and have no computer knowledge, if they work for EA they must have some coding/programing skills, people act like if EA decided tomorrow to cut the SP, that the team would be fired cause they cannot do anything else than designing clothing/hairstyles.
I don't think EA, or any other company, hires people for an art/design team based on their programming experience
Yknow I agree they're definitely two different assets, but it's definitely a bit odd that they chose to have two rather similar hairstyles released in back-to-back stuff packs. It's not a problem to have similar hairstyles in the grand scheme of things, I'd say, but I can also understand the complaints when the Stuff pack team basically said "So in December we're offering a cute short bob haircut for people who like that sort of thing, and then for March we're really mixing it up with this other cute short bob, but this time it's more on the left instead of the right!" I'd imagine it's a bit disappointing.
You nailed it - I think it's a pretty unique addition to the overall style of the game that we haven't yet captured. Mid-century modern is a favorite of mine.
Wow....this thread has been moved to Speculation & Rumor....that was desperate of the forum modders >.> How is it speculation or a rumor if it has been officially announced? Lame.
Your assertion that some assets in this pack are recycled is wholly speculative, bound to cause rumors, and factually incorrect. This is the appropriate forum for this specific discussion.

People have been asking for more curly and ethnic hairstyles. We've got more ethnic in CL and BY, we're getting more curly in Vintage and Bowling. I'm not disappointed, there weren't that many curly hairstyles before, so I'm glad they are adding some.

Not to mention that everytime I see a hairstyle that gets parted to one side, I want it for the other side as well. So even if they were literally just 'mirroring' a style, I still wouldn't mind tbh.

For what it's worth, I like the look of it so far. So well done to you guys.

As someone who regularly restyles her hair in spite of it not changing length, I absolutely want them to do this. I want to have styles available to me that make it seem like two days ago I ironed my hair straight, yesterday I blowdried it for volume, today I took my flatiron to it for loose waves. Plenty of women change their part day to day, side to side - me, sometimes I have one, sometimes I style my hair so there isn't one. Sometimes my bangs are straight down, sometimes they're to one side, sometimes the other. If I can have multiple medium-length bobs with bangs either down or brushed aside, I can do more to make it like a real woman wears her hair: sometimes this way, sometimes that, with more variety than just ponytail-or-not. And I can have fewer Sims around town who look the same at a glance even if they strike me as all likely to have medium-length hair. So, a right-parted bob and a left-parted bob? Yes, please! That's a kind of variety I actively want and am frustrated in CAS when I don't have it. As someone who's never wanted to deal with CC, I want to be sold more variety of everyday hairstyles, even when that variety is subtle.
Edited to add: But I definitely also need more non-body-revealing clothing. Love the outfit here anyways.

No matter what the style of this pack is I'm looking forward to bowling. After TS3 University I had a self-made bowling venue in every world. I wish however that the Sims team would treat SPs with more care instead of breaking everything with the following pack. In the German edition the waterslide from Backyard is broken since CL and nobody cares. I can use no feature from Vintage properly. This should get better!
If anyone thinks I am just hating the pack, on the contrary, I love the pack and will still get it. I was just underwhelmed (and still am to some extent) that the CAS look 'similar'
Similarities in shape or style are not indicative of assets being "recycled". These assets were built from the ground up to fit the aesthetic of our bowling pack.
I really like the aesthetic you were going for with this pack It's retro, but not Roaring Twenties like Vintage Glamour Stuff. Feels 50s-esque with a modern twist to it.
All I'm seeing yet again with this thread is that people don't properly look at something but immediately complain. As always.
I agree about the aesthetic this pack looks nothing like the 'aesthetic' of VG stuff and I would never say VG is very fiftyish, either.

Nice comparison pic! I really love the new hair, it's very cute. I feel like it's still stylish, but a bit younger and more casual than the other. I've been using the other one too much anyway.

I agree with this sentiment. I almost never use more than one hair style in a sim's outfit for precisely the reason that most of the hairstyles are so starkly different. Not that starkly different is inherently a bad thing (quite the contrary) but I would also like to be able to make subtle changes without it looking like my sim just shapeshifted and became a different person.
The hair isn't the same. It's shorter. It's on the other side. The bangs/hanging hair bits are different. The waves are different.
The tops are different. The new one has sleeves and is a sweater, not a light vest thing. The middle bit is a different texture, size, and the collar is shaped differently.
Similar =/= receycled.

I don't see where things are getting recycled here. Even if they were why care because none of us do or most of us don't care.
The hair looks different at least to me. They're both just short and kinda curly? If thats word IDK. The outfits do kinda look the same but the outfit for the bowling one still looks nice.

The Sims have been recycling the same things for 17 years now so it's really too late to be upset about this.

So your logic is saying if you are uninterested in something, I shouldn't be interested in it? Lol, k
No, those are not the same meshes at all. Though I would prefer that bowling sweater come with a different underneath top when granny goes bowling I would rather not see her sagging chest or crepe neck.
I had the same though when I saw it, I feel like they took an existing hairstyle and piece of clothing, and just modified it a bit, I even did took a screenshot of the outfit we already have to show a friend how similar it was.

Or sexy belly outfits for women so the ladies can show off that manly chest hair. Yknow, kill two birds with one stone.

Nope, different shape. Slightly, but different.
