Matching Cabinets

We have lots of counters, but a lot less Cabinets, which feels silly because Cabinets are far easier to create. I wish we had corresponding cabinets for each Counter. Just a simple skin update for a few packs so that my Cabinets will always match my Counters.
Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.

The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
What bothers me more is the incomplete living, bedroom and bathroom sets as well as tables with no matching chairs.
I forgot to mention, the lack of kitchen sinks. We get a new bathroom sink with every pack (but no matching toilet, tub or shower) but almost never get sinks that can be placed in counters. I have to use the base game ones or the one from cool kitchen.
I think the packs that skipped on wall cabinets, did give us shelving units of some kind though? Like JA and IL both come with a bunch of wall units, just not cabinets 🤷♂️
At this point I would be willing to settle for more swatches of the basegame counters and cabinets. I know they did that with one of the counters before Cats & Dogs came out. There's one of the basegame counters that only has three swatches. It's the industrial looking one. Plus, a couple of the vintage counter swatches have a weird greenish tint to them.
I wish they would do a big update like they did for the doors but with cabinets and counters. As it is now, I always use the counters from Parenthood or Jungle Adventure. I love those counters and they go with everything but I do like a little more variety.
Ok, maybe I just want more swatches added to all the basegame build/buy mode stuff. Not all at once but I would be happy if that's something we could get. Most people want cars, I just want swatches. 😊
In Sims 4? ROFL.
Its like the developers never even heard of color tables.
I mean.. How hard can it be to make matching swatches using color tables? Too hard apparently.
I definitely get frustrated with the lack of matching swatches on items that should have matching wood tones, fabrics, etc, as well as the obviously incomplete sets of some furniture items; however, some of the best interior design work doesn't depend on everything being perfectly matchy-matchy. Does it make it harder not having matching pieces? Yes! Does it aggravate and frustrate me to no end at times? Definitely! But does it also push me to develop my skills as an interior designer and rethink how to work different items together? Yes! And honestly, I think some of my best rooms have been ones where I've had to really work hard to figure out how to mix and match non-matching items together in a way that makes sense and works.
That said, as much as I appreciate the challenge of working with non-matching swatches and incomplete sets at times and as much as I like how many of those rooms turn out, I agree that we really should have matching swatches and complete sets in the game. I'd rather challenge myself to not work with matching sets when I feel like it, as opposed to being forced to do so ALL THE TIME!
The color of the cabinet around the fridge determines what color your stove and dishwasher have to be if you want things to match. Because if you want red appliances then you have to have a certain color of cabinets in order to match the cabinet that’s attached to the fridge, even if you think something else would look better. It’s either that or you have to pick a different appliance color. It makes me crazy every time. I wish the fridge cabinet in that set was a separate piece from the fridge itself so we could mix and match as we please.
