The increase in quality since Basegame

06Bon06

I've realized I can not stand to use a lot of the basegame stuff because the quality is so much worse than the newer packs.

I saw this again while picking windows for a new build, I'm just happy the quality improved.

I find a lot of items in the base game are somewhat unrealistic and out of style. As a result I tend to use the same objects over and over again.

I kinda like there are various design/texture/quality styles. That way it's possible to create distinct quarters giving a different vibe without being too bold.

still hoping for a "poor, bad and ugly" stuff pack, though, packed with trash. Filthy furniture, cheap designs, poor clothing, tasteless clutter, etc

Yup I liked when they did that with some of the CL stuff. In case you're not aware there is a carpet in the new pack that has a worn out look. I love it.

Oh yeah, I hate most if the base game stuff.

But the sims 3 was the same way. When you compared base game sims 3 hairs and furniture to some of the stuff in island paradise and into the future, it was incredibly noticeable the difference in quality.

It only makes sense that as time goes on they get better at their tools and making new assets.

The hairs lately compared to base game are the biggest difference for me.

Yup the sims 3 base game stuff was also pretty awful. I'm so happy the quality improves like it does. Can't imagine if the stuff we got now still looked like that.

Yup the hair is a huge difference. I hated the clay hair at first but now I don't mind it since it it is made very well with loads of detail. I just really noticed the difference yesterday when I was deciding between windows.

This latest update is making me consider giving up alpha custom hair since it's all borked now.
Clay hair styles look much better now and it's why I am now considering tossing my CC.

Proof complaining about textures works?

I also notice this in clothing too. I put on one of the new tops from the latest and was astonished at it's quality and how real it looked.

Me too! I love the new stuff from GF. One of my favorites is the apocalypse type clothing, all the detail on it. To think the earlier stuff was mostly flat and I tried not to look at it too much.

I notice a big difference from beginning to now too and I like it!

BlkBarbiegal

Big difference yes. But I still like many of the old school stuff from launch.

I love most of the new clothing for story telling. Only problem is its locked behind a career.

Can we get a show career objects in cas cheat anytime soon?

Going back though, specifically the doors and windows are atrocious in base game. Thr recolors they have are too few and too ugly.

That would be awesome.

I think about this a lot I still like some base game stuff but sometimes looking at the newer items makes it hard to keep a house with those items and on sims the clothing....but it's nice to have to look for yourself to see how things have improved I don't know if it would ever happen..but I'd like to see the old stuff get a touch up.

I would love it if they updated the new stuff. some of the male hairs are pretty nice but the quality is just soo bad.

SimsFinest1

It would be cool if they went back and updated the base game textures and brought them to 2018. I do agree it can be tough to use just those when you have better options out there.

jackjack_k

Yeah, going back and looking at items like the Rocket Ships ><

The difference between Base Game and OR was significant, but the huge jump in quality came with Spa Day and beyond I feel.

Don't we have one of those? I don't remember what it is but I think we do have one.
