Dear SimGurus, why do these doors ONLY have a single white color?

Something that has been bothering me since 2 years is that the doors on the left side only have ONE white color, while the other ones on the right have various color swatches.

    That's a good question...
    I've always wondered why they don't have the same color swatches. I know there's some custom content that gives adds the missing swatches, but it would be nice if the mod wasn't needed though.

    I wouldn't even call the swatch a white color but a sort of grayish color, if they add new swatches they could at least add an actual white tone.

    I think we'll be seeing some new swatches in a future patch.



    Hopefully new door swatches will be included.
    The developers are aware.

    Yes like the victorian ítems in Strangerville, they’re white not grey-ish!!

    I think they're only available in 1 colour as they're classed as the cheap starter doors... If you've ever been to a DIY shop and looked at the cheap options for doors, they're normally only available in 1 colour as making them in any other colour will cost the manufacturer more to mix the dyes and cover the doors in seperate colours... I've worked in a few larger stores and that's the official reason when we get asked about it.

    I hope, this door really needs black & white. I hope they'll add swatches on other items tho.

    Nope, most of the white ones on the left are even more expensive than the other ones on the right.

    An they all share the same "basic" texture, but some of them only have one white color.

    They're racist doors.

    I wouldn't say that, but it's honestly annoying, why do the other doors have all these colors but not the left ones?
    How'd you miss the joke? Askin' the real questions here.

    Lazy programming. The same can be said for many of the windows.

    This! We never had anything that is pure white in colour EA! matching colour in this game is almost impossible to do, very frustrating!

    The white doors irritate me, because they're not just white - they always have some bizarre frame colour that doesn't match anything. And then, there's the 'mega' doors, which only come in three shades. Since I bought JA and Strangerville, I'm finding that I'm using doors and windows from those packs a lot, just because I can get them to match.
    I just want things to match. :'(

    This would have been more acceptable! A simple color wheel would have been fine. The problem in TS3 was the amount of textures. We don't care about textures, a simple color wheel like that with simple colors is what should have been done in the first place.

    Like James said, minimum 5 colors per object.

    Nope. I’m assuming they took a screenshot of the game and then photoshopped it. If a mod like this existed I think we would know about it.

    I just wish we had a basic color wheel at this point...we'll always have color requests.

    Yesterday I went to use the “yes siree door” for the large window in it, but that one shade of white clashed horribly with the other door and windows I was using in my build. As soon as I saw only one color - the picture in the first post here popped in my head and all I could think of was that - yep, it is very annoying to only have one option!

    What I don't get is why, since as we saw with the victorian items in Strangerville, they can make a real white color.
