When the Pose Player came out, it opened the floodgates. Suddenly, every other upload to MTS was a damn pose pack, catering exclusively to the Brynnes of the world (which should have been the first clue that pose packs are a Pandora's box of stupid). Incidentally, the Brynnes of the world are also the people responsible for the 9,000 eye colors. They're the only ones who play their games zoomed in enough to tell what color their sims' eyes even are, much less differences in striation of the iris.
HA! I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks all those "different" eyes are a total waste of time.
A lot of people seem to only play CAS, and never bother with the actual game. Much of the high detail CAS mods will never be seen in-game no matter how much you zoom in. While playing, the Sims just don't have that level of detail that you get in CAS. You aren't going to notice the minute differences in nostril flare.
I can see pose packs being handy for people creating actual content and wanting to pose their Sims for screenshots featuring that content, but why anyone would want to play the game that way, putting Sims in boring static poses, I will never understand.
jezzer:
Oh, it's the storytellers and machinima people, who don't want to play the game so much as upload another episode of "As the Sim Turns" so their legions of sycophants can gush rapturously, "You've outdone yourself, Val! You are the best and the prettiest and all the boys (and most of the girls) want you!"
HomeschooledByTards:
I see wut you did there.
Most of the cosmetics are a waste of space too. I had quite a few custom eye shadows and lipsticks in TS2, but never really noticed them. I haven't bothered getting any for TS3.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was getting tired of sifting through 'pose packs', 'contacts', 'lipsticks', etc, that all look the same when looking for some new & unique, custom content.
I don't understand what is the most intriguing about contacts and lipsticks, considering they all wind up looking pretty much the same.

I admit I tend to go overboard on contacts. I rarely see them in game, but the customization part of the game is something I really enjoy. So I can see why some people like those things. However, I agree that, especially at this point, most of the make up being released (especially lipsticks!) are identical. I was actually just reflecting on that while looking at some CC earlier. At this point in the game, I feel like I have about as much variation make up wise as I'm going to get, and am more interested in mods that actually affect gameplay.
Also, am I the only one who can't tell what the heck some sliders are changing in some of the pictures? Like, all those lip and nose ones people keep making. I can barely, if ever, tell the difference it seems.
