Can we stop getting just one swatch for certain clothing?

Don't understand it myself.

There's probably a few items out there that probably not necessarily need more than one swatch, but still just having the option is nice. Career outfits definitely should have more options. Like for example I unlocked a new clothing item in Eco Lifestyle and it's one of my favorite items, BUT only one problem. It just has one swatch.

Nicely made with the embroidery at the bottom, yet I was disappointed to see it had just one swatch and I'm just wondering. W H Y? Even the necklace had one swatch that matched with the earrings.

Then there's clothing like in Get Famous with the male super hero costume having one swatch but the female has multiple ones?

Very weird and I get disappointed because I wanted a few more color options and not limited to just one.

  • Why? So it can be reused in a later pack with a different swatch. Sold back to you later with a different color, etc. It's been done (the reuse assets practice) over and over in the life of TS4. Or released to the masses (who don't have a pack) for free in a basegame patch. But in their defense not all meshes work well with any color or pattern. You will see flaws in the mesh and or at the seams etc., or the over saturation etc. But I'm going with the first reason I stated.
  • Looks like it's a bug with all the career unlocks :neutral:

    I miss the color wheel so much. I often realize how much I let the color swatches decide how my sims will look. And how I can't use some clothing because there are no fitting colors for it. Like some of the tops from Tiny Living for example.
  • I'm still waiting for the lifeguard swimwear swatches your sim wears on the job so not holding out hope.
