Does anyone else wish we had more variety in the carpet floor patterns? I'm sure Sims 2 had many more options, and Sims 3, of course, enabled us to customise the patterns. I've got a couple of CC recolour patterns with a variety of colours but it still doesn't feel like a lot. I miss the variety of previous games.

I'm with you on this, it would certainly be nice. All in due time, I hope. As it stands now most of my houses have wood floors.

In my current save they started out with wooden floors but I'm starting to make them more comfortable for the sims, which means carpeted floors in most rooms. I know the sims can't tell the difference, but, having grown up with carpet, I certainly can!

Same. It's like the toilet roll decoration. I know it's not imperative, but I can't stand when it isn't present in my sim's houses.

Yes, this is something that I've noticed with Sims 4. There are so many other floor coverings to choose from but the carpet category is definitely lacking.

I'd really love some more patterned carpets, and some mottled designs. If I had Sims 2 still installed I'd post some screenshots of the designs I liked, but alas, it's not on my PC at the moment.

I agree. The current carpet designs though are ugly and just look plain dirty.

I've downloaded a bunch of carpet CC, there just isn't a lot of options in-game.

@SeaDragonSong I have in the past as well. I like to upload my builds to the gallery though and its too hard for me to remember so skip the cc ones when building for the gallery so I just don't download cc. I'd love love love the option for more colors to be added to the game without cc. Nothing against cc creators. Love their work... I'm just too absent minded to remember which ones are which as I'm building.

I actually didn't know carpet was so unpopular IRL! But then I walk around the house in bare feet when it's warm enough, so carpet is the most comfortable for that. It also avoids the issue of slipping if you're just wearing socks.

Agreed. I think there are too few options, I want neutral patterns with different color options. I used full carpets a lot more in previous series.

Yes, I begged for more earth tone colors and different patterns since 2014. Didn't happen.

If you have pets, carpet is a pain. My cats, Barfolomew and Sir Barfalot, are quite good about the litter box, but their nicknames should explain why the wood floors in my condo sold me on it. (Also, if you have cats, you never run around in stockinged feet for the same reason.) And it's much easier to use a broom to sweep up the litter that gets tracked out of the box.

Nonetheless, I'm just as annoyed with the lack of carpets in the game. I'd like a few industrial-style carpets, and some very ornate carpets. The problem with the rugs in the game is that most are too big for my rooms (I make my houses as small as possible). I'd also like some cute carpets for the kids and toddlers.

Most people I know have carpets. Maybe it's a British thing? I don't know, but I do like the softness under my feet. Anyway, I have also noticed our choices are limited in TS4. Some more variety would definitely be nice.

So many people hate on carpet, I don’t get it. I have hardwood, carpet, and tile in my home and carpet is probably the easiest to maintain IMO. I guess not if you have kids/pets, but in that case nothing is easy to keep looking good.

Hardwood is prone to scratching. If you have wood, you almost have to have an area rug under everything or you will have a damaged floor (and with how expensive wood floors are... yeah no). Area rugs are just as pricey these days for a decent quality one. I spent like $230 on my area rug, and it’s been a lifesaver for the floor. Carpet is also just cheaper to buy, and a lot more flexible. I spent forever looking for a wood floor that wouldn’t look out of place in my home, I picked out my carpet in like 10 minutes. Carpet is just so much easier.
