TOO MUCH WHITE??! «12...Next Go

Wulfsimmer

I just found out you can't change the color of the ceilings and I am just too irritated by this. When will this get patched?

Toreshinbo

Yes I'm pretty bummed by that too. For example an all brown wooden cabin... has a white ceiling...
I hope it'll get patched too. Until then, we wait.

I'm also hoping for this to come in a patch. I really loved being able to apply tiles to the ceiling in Sims 3 so it would look better and carry through the feel of the space.

lejoninna

ya and they should patch in hollow roofs in the same patch so we can use the space under them. like in normal houses

pupshadow22

yeah I avoid including the ceiling in photos. not a huge deal, but would be nice to be able to have nice looking ceilings.

Lol I thought this was gonna be some race rant at first.

Yes it would be cool to be able to change roof colors. I noticed how in Deligracy's vampire house it's so awkward how the house is all decayed and creepy, but the ceiling is all cheerful and clean.

I make a lot of tiny houses, so I do lofts a lot but the roof ceilings are a grey/white and I hate that! I want it to match the walls, or at least be somewhat customizable.

I don't exactly look at the ceilings...ever.

Hee heeeee....
In my day we didn't even have ceilings.
You looked up and all you saw was the furniture on the next floor.

aaa that's annoying i noticed the white ceiling for the first time earlier, and now I can't unsee it. it'd be good to change the colours, at least?

If you mean what I think you mean, you can. I do it all the time, especially in lofted areas. You remove the ceiling just like you would the floor, so your ceiling goes all the way up to the roof line.

Same never did for 6 years

I had no idea you could redo the ceiling. I can't see the ceiling and usually only redo the walls and floors.

no, so you could have a whole proper floor with slanted roofs

Do you mean like this? Because if not, I don't know what you mean, then. Because you can do this.

This is one of those times when you never notice something and then you go crazy when you do, thank you.

OK, I gotcha. Having the ceiling start on a half wall. I also wish we could do this. Many upstairs rooms in New England houses are like this. I tried to build one of the houses I grew up in, but there was no way to make my bedroom like this.

This is why you need CASt

None of us do...but when you want to take screenshots it bothers me. Also having mosiac tiles, colorful art, etc...on the roof would be beautiful to stare at It just gives a vibe to the place.

You can to some extent, but it's not perfect because you have to fiddle with camera angles/roofs while playing and there is no way to recolour the underside of the roof. The inside wall of the roof is also tied to the colour outside.

I have never payed attention to the ceiling when I took pictures. It just didn't cross my mind, until one day where I was taking pictures in a penthouse and I was like "Huh something's wrong here" then I realised that there were no ceiling just a blue sky and they did have a roof! XD

Weren't we able to paint ceilings in Sims 3? I vaguely remember panning upwards with a paint brush.

Yes, but ceiling tiles didn't come until later. Can't remember when they were added, though.

TheGoodOldGamer

I don't think I've ever bothered manipulating the camera in such a way to even see the ceiling in the game, lol. I play top-down (sort of), not bottom-up.

Tbh, most ceilings irl aren't that interesting to look at anyway either, unless you're talking about rafters or something.

MasonGamer

I'm always hitting tab and I prefer looking up

yeah it doesn't look right


I even Have a City Hall, Church, and Restaurant that needs the ceiling redone.

SimsLovinLycan

Yes! That has been bugging me since TS4 came out! We need to be able to change the look of the ceilings. Plain white is like popcorn ceilings: it doesn't go with everything (Moved to a new place a while ago and most of the rooms have that effect applied to the ceilings. The former owners seem to have been obsessed with popcorn ceilings, the poor dears...)!
