350 Swatches Are Doors ONLY!

They only ever teased a different door in both screenshots.

Also, we are still getting 350 swatches, so we can match doors better.

I don’t understand why y’all are mad. If you paid attention to the screenshots they posted of the new swatches, they were all door swatches.

This is just because, the community went wild. Every company teases content this way, but The Sims community just goes wild with it. There’s very rarely, if ever, reasonable thought behind anything that’s said. It’s also jumping to the most absolute fantasy.

All I expected was that we’d get black and white swatches for a bunch of base game goods, and it looks like we got that with the doors, and the doors NEEDED updates over anything else because most of them had only 1 swatch and most of the more detailed ones only had 3 or so.

This is a welcome update for any builder. Doors not matching Windows was a huge annoyance. Windows have all these swatches and matching doors have nada.

I hope next they add matching swatches to fences and columns.

Im so tired of the downplaying of the unprofessionalism. The responses are all like "you guys, how dare you have standards?" Chastising people because we are tired of the same old disappointments. The fanbase did not go "wild" they reacted understandably excitedly because SimGuruLyndsay made a guessing game out of it without clarifying and the hints and hype made it seem as if there would be a game changing update for players who are tired of the same drab decor and build mode choices.

It's not "our" fault how this was handled. And stop with the "any builder" would agree with this update stuff. Plenty of builders (including myself) complain about the lack of tools and variety in The Sims 4. They took away the ability for players to customize and handling announces like this lacks professionalism and integrity.

We’re still getting 350 swatches. I don’t understand why it’s such a big deal that they’re only for doors.

We need them for doors. There’s no “misleading” here. People speculated and they may be wrong or right. But at the end of the day, we’re still getting 350 more colour swatches in our game for us to use for free.

Lyndsay didn’t mislead anyone. It’s like how when we got quarterly teasers, people speculated wildly about some of them and then blame EA when they speculated wrong.

This isn’t a case of “we promised 350 but it is 350 swatches coming over 3 years”

She’s literally delivering what she promised, people just speculated wrong about what they would be for.

Own your own disappointment, this is why EA stop telling us stuff in advance because all it does is make people speculate way beyond what’s reasonable.

100% why they only confirmed the title for the Magic EP and no clues or visuals because people will just go wild and then complain when only 10% of the predictions may be right.

350 swatches could be 35 new objects with 10 swatches each. 350 is not a huge number but people saw it and were like “omg that’s like the whole base game getting new colours!!!” And I sat there and was like “it’s not that many” and people dismissed me and kept going down the path of madness.

So yeah, EA is revealing things closer and closer to release leaving huge gaps of nothing because clearly everything they tease something people just go overboard.

I think Lyndsay should have said nothing at all tbh, and I think all Guru’s should not tell us anything until it’s ready to pre-orders because the fanbase is clearly unable to be logical and keep expectations realistic.
