I can't see myself using more than 3-4 of them for anyone. Frankly, this is just a personal thing, since I only ever used CAST to make wood trim in rooms match up, anyway. I am an utter failure at bending sliders to my will.
+ The direct modeling feature has allowed me to create Sims that actually look moderately like people I know. I think it's more of a Lifetime Wish / Aspiration hybrid, but the nostalgia train is already running. + Aspirations are back, and there's plenty of them. These Sims are essentially the best parts of TS2's cranked to 11. This is a wonderful step away from TS3's grand total of 10 good looking combinations. I feel like we've actually hit the point of being able to make unique Sims. Not only does it blow TS3's Pudding-palooza out of the water, I'd say it's significantly better than TS2's CAS in terms of racial and body diversity. + It's difficult to make an ugly Sim (unless you're actively trying to). Not much has excited me about TS4, but the new CAS is gearing up to be my favorite version. Those of you that have played the TS4 CAS demo, what are your thoughts on it?
