How are there tables with no matching chairs?

SelinaKyles · February 2019

My pet peeve!! Just found a lovely table but no chairs to match!

Why do they do this to us!😭😭 The table I’m using is from the laundry pack and the only chair I found from the pack doesn’t even match it
Edit: oh Lordy, just checked for a sofa with a matching loveseat😵😵

it's one of the mysteries behind this game

It could be easily solved with a furniture customization similar to what was in TS2, where you could customize the wood grains or the cushions individually. Far too often have I too been frustrated by the ill matching woods of table and chair or sofa and living chair.

Lol!! Oh do I know the pain on that one!! Just last night I was decorating a house I built and used that exact table only to find it took me about 20 RL minutes to even find a chair that looked just ok. & I still didn't like the outcome!!

I agree, it's one of the mysteries of the game. I can't for the life of me figure out why they will make a "matching" sofa, loveseat, & chair only to have 1 look slightly different than the others. I'm all for accent furniture, but it can be almost impossible to match things if that is the look you're going for.

Yes!! & the woods, too!! It can be such a pain when you're trying to furnish a room and really like a look you have going, only to find 1 of the woods is slightly darker or lighter!!

Yes and windows and doors! Using 2 or 3 kinds of windows and/or doors in a house and finding that the colors don't match

Mariefoxprice83 · February 2019

Yeah, it's a real shame when the swatches don't match.

mock68 · February 2019

I find it's the same with many things in the Sims 4, clothes and other types of furniture etc.
It actually spoils my buildings and sims.

Desks and chairs. Jackets and slacks. Hats and any clothing. Shoes and any clothing.

Bedrooms and dressers... and why can't we pick bedding separately to the bed colour?

And why oh why do carpets and curtains all carry the same limited colour range?

mikaelaholly · February 2019

For real!! Sometimes I spent at least 10 minutes trying to match pieces of furniture but they end up not completely matching

aldavor · February 2019

It's like one team has gone off and done the tables... wonderful things that have been created, and another team on the opposite side of the world has gone off to do the chairs... again, wonderful creations ... --- but neither has been spoken to by the director and they have no idea of the others' existence --- hence totally different swatches for totally different designs.

I don't think anything encapsulates this point more than gates and fences... how much more discongruous can you get than these?!?!?!

Communication... maybe a word that the dev managers can place into their somewhat limited vocabularies...

The windows as well!! I found a window that takes up three tiles and wanted to use two tiles, it’s it two tile counterpart is much taller than it.

I imagined them sitting at the conference table and saying in a evil smile

let’s make tables and not match them!!

and then everyone starts laughing

This too! Love a cute bed from C&D but the blanket styles aren’t really my liking. Rarely do the curtains I pick, fit my windows, and when the do, they don’t match with their coloring, so I mostly avoid curtains

joleaco · February 2019

I also become peevish at the lack of colour matching. There are some beautiful pieces of furniture that I love the look of but have not used even once, as they don't go with anything. I have never been good at creating an eclectic theme, so for me things must match.

So true. I've ended up adjusting my plans or just using the closest match I could find after putting several different colors of two or more items side by side to see which looked best together. I don't like mixing across packs because that just makes it even harder to find matches.

They need to update the swatches, they are so bad.

DeKay · February 2019

I like to think that sometimes in real life, you can't easily find tables and chairs that match unless it's like a set. XD

Yes, we really do need more choice of bedding, and for it not to be tied to the frame colour.

Me too as I tend to choose the Cordelia beds so that my Sims get a good night's sleep. Why are the children's bed so uncomfortable too?

I know

I think, if they ever include a sewing machine with a sewing skill, we should be able to have sims sew new blankets in a wide variety of colours and upgrade the lower-level beds with nicer bedding to improve their sleep quality.

And the limited colour range of one item cannot match the same range for another - if you have a choice between green, blue, grey and pink for each one, one will have a dark green and the other a lime green. If you have a long window in front of the house, and smaller windows on the side, you will not find long and short curtains that match, nor can you match a two-tile curtain to a three-tile curtain.

And, say you pick something simple - a white or black theme for your decor. How can two white items be a different colour, you think. And you end up with some objects that are obviously grey (even though the swatch showed white).

They're messing with us. There is no other explanation.

See, this is why I have over 4,000 cc build/buy items.

This is easily my biggest pet peeve in The Sims. It’s so frustrating when you’re designing a kitchen or dining room, you finally find a table that’ll look absolutely stunning, then there’s no matching chairs. AARGH!!! Happens on a regular basis with my style of builds.

I would have to suggest that this is a tribute to Sims2, which is replete with gorgeous dining tables but chairs that only match in style but not wood color. Face/palm.

Tell me how many parents out there in Reality Land can afford descent beds for their children? It's a conundrum.

But this isn’t reality, it’s a life simulator where’s there’s vampires, aliens, talking toilets and pregnancies only last 3 days. They can have all that yet still have uncomfortable beds for kids. I cannot accept “in RL” when it comes to Sims all the time
