Buy Mode set is half-baked in general
Lets be honest, The Sims 4 has the best build mode but I see a huge weakness which is repeate with every pack and base game updates. I want to highlight some weaknesses and show some things which need...

Well, apparently, it hasn't occured to anyone at Maxis to create "furniture sets". Just random furniture to make us all feel we are shopping at a flea market for our first apartment.
Actually, the concept of creating sets of anything doesn't seem to be their interest.
Finding that arm chair that matches the sofa. Or the door to match the window. Or, the dressers that matches the bed frame... that too is fun.
It's like they have one person who designs the sofa, and another who designs the arm chair. It must be like that. Because why would that one same person create a long list of non swatch compatible furniture. Doors and windows must be created by different people as well.....
So either 1 person is creating all this chaos all by themself... call it "lack of creative artistry", or multiple people are involved and simply don't communicate their creative results to ensure their work is relatable to each other.
You would think.... in the normal world at least, that when they took the color wheel AND the Cast away from us, they would be more attentive to their own designs.... being that we are limited to exactly that now.... just what they give us. But no.
They took away our ability to create logical sense, and they don't bother to offer us any.
What gets me is that they have a list of different color swatches that they use, but it's like they randomly pick which ones will be assigned to any build mode item. Why can't they just settle on maybe 25 swatches, and assign that list to every build item in the game. That way the blue lamp will always match the blue sofa. The green table will always match the green chair. Etc. etc.
Why does it have to be that if I start out with a red item, I have to search to lengths to see what else might have the color red as well?
And what's with all those wall shelves we can't put anything on that's bigger than a marble?
If that's not bad enough, they build worlds too small for cars, refuse to give us the option to have them, but..... yet, they toss cars in their new worlds builds, add fueling stations, parking lots, and even give us a garage door in the build mode. I mean pffffffft.
Just saying.
