Real Need for the Color wheel

I know we lost this because when you create a hundred million different textures, it tends to make changing the colors when buying a new item go reeeaaalllyyyy slooooow because each texture and color takes so much time to load. However, it would have been nice to see various items that should be grouped together have at least matching colors. I tried to match the hot tub with the barbecue and the counters from perfect patio but none of the colors match. I even tried to create a standalone counter that should have matched the barbecue at least but it didn't, and why? Because it seems that different stuff seems to have different properties in different light during the 24 hours and there is no way that any stuff matches. I figured at least if I picked black for all the items they would look the same but they don't, one item is almost pure black and another item is grey and then something else is charcoal. This has been an issue even with the base game but it just hasn't gotten any better with the eps/gps/sps. In any case, maybe somebody has an idea as to why some things just weren't made to match even though they should? When you look at these items separately, it appears that they should match but they don't even come with the same color combos. I will try again tomorrow to make some matching items but right now all I can do is wish for that color wheel and texture selector back.
On a planet far, far away.

BUT!! only if they find a way to keep it from lagging when extra content accumulate.
Nah, too much choice makes the game harder to play.
Ive even heard someone making the excuse that lack of color & pattern tool makes the game more realistic since you cant recolor your clothes or wallpapers in real life.
For those who fear/have performance issues due to custom patterns there is an easy solution, just use the basic colors provided.
I don't understand why they cant at the very bare minimum makes the blacks and whites match. I get that they don't want to use the same color palette for all the clothing and that's fine but at least make a few pieces that are able to mix and match with other things.
I am not a builder but I can imagine that it is also extremely frustrating trying to make rooms that match and go well together.
ROFL I know right! I've heard those excuses as well. How can you say having creativity is a burden? But to each their own. I think it would be nice to have the color wheel, and then the option (like with Sims 3) it install patterns.
I've been trying my hand at building houses in game, and I'm getting frustrated having to exit, then go on the search for matching item colors and new wall paints.
I just don't want another mega download folder like I had with Sims 2, having to download 100 recolors of one object, or outfit, just to have variety.
I'd love CASt back so we could select textures, but only if they can figure out a way to implement it so it doesn't lag. A million options do me no good when I have to wait a million years for it to load. Maybe a more condensed version would work? Idk.
I can do a whole lot with a color wheel, though, so even if I can't change textures at least I can make the color scheme match. I don't mind mismatched textures, as long as the color scheme flows well. There are some great items in the game that I don't use, because I don't like any of the colors.
As people said above, it'd be great to have a basic color wheel with a few textures and then have the option to install additional textures. That way, if someone's computer can't handle a bunch of textures, they don't have to have more than it can handle. And, I agree that there are some great objects and clothing in the game that I've never/rarely used due to either there's no likable colors or the colors there don't really match with anything.
"The softest echo could be enough for me to make it through."

I won't force the hideous clueless gamedevs of Sims 4 to enable color wheel, BUT at least give us options to give color onto two features of an object like back then in Sims2; e.g. different color for bedframe and mattress, different color for flower and pot, different color for chair and its pad, etc.
Now you can only have this frame color for that mattress color, I cannot set it flexibly. This is bs Rachel
A shirt doesn't come in the right shade of red, or come in a color you want it in at all.
examples
this sweater is too light for me. I need it to be burgundy a dark wine red and maybe a black or creme button up underneath would look better than blue.
next I really love this outfit
but I don't do stripes, again solid red, maybe a black coat with more length.
I like this shirt, And I wish this came with out the anchor in a dark red and and black trim and design on the arm.
these pants would look good in black.
wish this dress came in emerald/black
this top
I wish came with the black vest, and emerald tank, and brown/gold bra.
Like I don't mind turning to CC styled clothing, for more colors and textures, but now I'm like just let me do it.
My Mood:
Also there is a cheap fridge with all kinds of colours and no stove to match , why is that?
