The fact remains that adding CAST into the game will impact performance, it's impossible to add more components into a game without it impacting performance to some extent, SO....
Add CAST as an external tool. Make a tool that has a color wheel and a variety of patterns that we can use to recolor the clothes to our hearts content and then import or remove them from the game as we desire.
This way people get their full color customization while each person's game only has to process as many colors as they choose to import in thereby providing the customization many desire with as little additional impact on performance as possible.
Those that are happy with the current selection never have to use the tool and it's existence won't impact performance since it's external, meanwhile those that do want it can customize as they desire and any impact on their performance is in their hands as to how many variations they choose to import.

Race Against the Clock: Can your elder sim turn back the clock before their time runs out?
However I remember Graham saying something like they would have to redo every object to be able to have that editing functionality. It would be good to put in the new system sooner rather than later, if they were going to, because the more and more objects there are, the harder it will be to do that.
I do hope cast is added as an external tool!!
