I understand you lost all your team, but if they left, it was for reasons about the game. The current administration isn't good enough, it needs a change.
You shouldn't be doing updates like this.

Its not just one or the other, I think theyve started the process for a possible change in administration, so they might as well do some updates while that is happening

Everybody Edits is older than that remake.

I know, some expansions were useful (Domestic pack, although some graphics were stolen from EECM), but, most of the graphics are bad.

Evidence? It's incredibly pathetic to claim that a **** private server which uses STOLEN assets is claiming that the game THEY steal from is stealing from them.
The graphics within this update mostly originate (albeit with some tweaks) from the previous graphics Toop created that didn't make it into previous updates to the game.

EDIT: I just mentioned the ridiculous claim on #nimg and the response from HG.

As someone who understands visual design (and insight on Toop's graphics), this update is awful.
I'm terrible at explaining many of the fundamental concepts behind the failures of this update so bear with me.

Cowgirl smiley is gross. TOOP began that smiley about a year ago and never finished it because it looked bad. I wanted to see a better version of it but we get his sub-par rough drafts.
Same goes for lots of stuff pulled from the cut content archive. It looks really bad.

The stop sign was a **** failure that Toop and I laughed at and he threw in the trash bin. This also might be news to you: stop signs aren't for construction sites! There's a reason it was in a city pack!

Again: the fire hydrant makes no sense in the construction pack. It was designed for a city pack but it looks like the staff couldn't be bothered to put time and effort into the graphics so they just stole it and shoved it in a city-like pack. Shame on you.

Domestic pack has a brown bar morph for some reason?? Oh it's a picture frame (honestly couldn't tell). Toop had this in a rough draft of the domestic pack, but it was cut because there's already a picture in the pack.
Packs have a balance to them that I'm not going to spend the time to explain because it's complex **** that nobody got time to misunderstand.
Honestly I'd be okay with this if it was in a museum pack, but whatever.

Rotating the wild west pole is a mistake.: WHAT THE BLOCK IS HAS MORE IMPORTANCE THAN IT BEING BUILD-ABLE. This is a concept to ensure that packs don't have **** like upside down TVs or sideways porches.

The extended I beams on the construction pack are pointless. Just get rid of the 2 dots if they bother people that much. Furthermore, the pack is now bloated with useless blocks and backgrounds.
Toop had a system to make his packs "balanced" which involved color balancing with ratios. Here's Toop's balance with the construction pack compared to the new one:

Percentage of red in TOOP's pack: 40%

Percentage of red in new pack: 67% (too much red)

There's so much more wrong with all of this that I don't even have the time to get into.
People say that art is all how people feel about it and that's what makes it good or bad. That's wrong. This update is objectively bad. (that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it though)

...

TL;DR

Toop is not perfect: he made some terrible mistakes in his time as a graphics designer. However, this update pushes his mistakes into the limelight and **** all over what he put into EE. Toop's attempts to make the game a more clear graphics experience has been muddled with seemingly random junk thrown in the mix.

To Cola1: you are a good graphics designer, but honestly nobody could have filled the large boots Toop left behind. Nothing I complained about in this update is truly your fault. You'll get better with practice and experience, don't let my angry ranting turn you away from something you love to do.
EDIT: This wasn't Cola1's update sorry buddy

...

Now, the items in this update are useful, and builders will have lots of fun with it I'm sure. Honestly, as someone who adored what toop did to the game I can't help but feel that by scraping the remnants of his work from the floor you're tainting the rest of his legacy. (With this in mind I also accept that I am heavily biased towards liking toop's work so take my post with a grain of that salt)

I thought the only thing Cola1 made in this update was the raccoon smiley?

1. this update is awful cowgirl is gross, stop sign is bad, fire hydrant doesnt belong
2. toop was the best and nobody could ever replace daddy toop, these graphics were cut because they are bad
3. there is a balance that is so sophisticated and complex that i cant be bothered to explain it's far too extreme algorithms and quantum artistic dynamics
4. cola1 you are a good graphics designer but nobody could ever replace daddy!!! you are tainting his legacy by adding cut content!!1

Actually i totally agree with badoosh, I think this is the worst update til now yet, bunch of mistakes..
Plus the dark clouds look like some random backgrounds if you noticed that, the rotations of the clouds shading is **** because it's usually shown from up not from down.
Cowgirl smiley is the most horrible smiley i have ever seen..
In the campaign, tier 1 and tier 3 were fun ^.^ thanks commanderkitten and smittw for making some fun worlds, Megalamb's worlds were sorta bad a bit -no offence but didn't have fun there much-, Tier 5 of the campaign was just a coin hunt world.. I think it was boring too..
Thor, Raccoon smileys were nice, Lion smiley was sorta doesn't look like a lion, i mean you should've fixed his eyes and his mouth to show him like more lion-ic
Expansions were meanless, or maybe some of them were, they are a big mess of blocks, rotations shouldn't have happend..

Congratulations Cola1 for being a graphic designer !

This update could've been better than this, needed more work.

Well when you say it like that it's kinda depressing, really. I thought we could have a discussion about this without petty mockery. :\
I don't deny that I am biased towards liking toop's graphics, though.

The negativity is honestly very depressing. The staff worked very hard on this update and all of you seem pretty ungrateful. They don't get paid, they do it because they enjoy the game.

This community is so small, yet surprisingly demanding...

Keep it up staff, thanks for reviving the game. This game shaped me into the person I am today...

Stop complaining about the update. A bad update is better than no update.

Imo it isn't even bad, I only dislike the cowgirl smiley.

We have stop signs at our construction sites around here O_o

One one side it says stop, the other side says "slow." Its how they refill potholes on one side of the road and let traffic through he other side while it dries.

Those signs are round, and if they intended it to be one of those signs, they would have included the yellow "slow" sign as well.

It's clearly in the wrong pack and was just tacked on the construction pack for more content
