I cant manage to get excited about it. I cant believe they did 350 swatches and not one of them is for the furniture . Or the wallpapers. Ridiculous. They are ignoring the requests for more options in build/buy mode.
This is going to be so useful for my elder Sims when they retire but don't want to give up working completely
There are glass floors on that house on the water in Sulani. They have been confirmed for Island Living.
im sure if this is a positive reaction to more swatches they'll do more.
I was at work on my phone when I replied and it seems I had an autocorrect fail. I did mean swatches and not searches.
There wont be a positive reaction because they literally did a frigging door update. Thats not encouraging. Its half baked and senseless.
Its to the point where its actually a bit degrading how they tease people with things only to be all murky about what it is and then it turns out to be a huge clunker like this. Doors. Believe me, all of the excitement over the swatches was definitely because players thought it would be coming for everything. The swatches they provide for siding and wallpaper especially is very drab and dismal. I had a spark of hope that finally I could choose from a seemingly vast array of color options and now I am deflated. Its for one or two objects, none of them being the items sims lounge on , sleep upon or cook atop inside of their own homes @SimGuruLyndsay I really dont understand this. Builders and just players in general really need more than this.
Glass floors is for the pack only, not being patched in. Hopefully though they do decide to include more swatches in the future for CAS or other Bb objects. I read someone said that fishing is being revamped but I’m not sure if that is accurate.
350 swatches should be around 5 swatches per door. Which in all honesty isn't that much.
Let's just see this update as a beginning and hope they will do more item categories in the future. I would prefer getting several updates, with 100+ new swatches for a certain item category, than 350 distributed between all the items.
This is a step in the right direction though. It’s matching wood tones in the doors. Like someone pointed out this adds up to maybe 5 swatches for each base game door. 350 swatches isn’t that much when it comes down to it. I’m just hoping for more matching wood swatches down the line since they have opened this door (pun intended).
Also this was never hyped up they just said yes we are adding 350 swatches to the base game and nothing beyond that. They should have been more specific but they have a lot of rules in place about what they can reveal and probably couldn’t tell us what the swatches were for. You can disagree with that as much as you want but it’s not the devs fault they can’t tell us things.
Patches always break script mods like MCCC and UI Cheats. Most tuning mods are fine unless the patch deals with files that those mods use, like if you have a mod that involves fishing it could get broken with this patch. I'll be removing my mods on Monday night, then work on remodeling venues (I have some pool venues that'll be getting the lounge chairs that come in the patch), then if the pack is released before mods are updated I'll familiarize myself with the new world.

Doors, windows and I believe some of the base game shelves. A lot of builders have been asking for more swatches for those assets. Most of the other objects you list have plenty of options, and would be more complex; I recall a Tweet from Grant that to make a single set of counters it requires 11 assets (which makes sense when you consider corner counters, half counters, island counters with their options, and the like.
I'm personally looking forward to the new swatch update because I've heard one of the items they're adding are some new unisex bathroom door options. I have some bathrooms that are in desperate need of updating.

Trait randomizer also which is my favorite thing for challenges
They literally chose to make counters/cabinets the way they are, calling them complex to avoid doing anything with them is the worst work ethic I have ever seen. They have done this with just about every major feature they sold the game on. Emotions, multitasking, you name it. These people really know how to make bad choices without thinking about any of the implications of those choices. They are really running this game into the ground if their mindset is “what we chose is TOO complex, so we’re going to avoid doing anything with it”
ah. yes. because this is going to be the last update ever and we'll never get an update ever again.
