Ceiling colors?

It looks like they just didn’t put the floor tiles under the roofs, you see the roof angle there.

I have never once looked at or noticed ceilings in the game. Their attention definitely is needed in other areas of the game than to color something that is barely shown or noticed....in my opinion.

? thank you for checking it out. I appreciate it!

We really do need the ability to change the ceiling colour the perpetual white is just so ill fitting in so many builds.
If you play with sims 3 camera or take pictures in tab mode, you see the ceilings very frequently. Not to mention the obvious white line near staircases or on outdoor decks - both of which are visible with ts4 camera as well.

In sims 3 i always changed the ceiling colours. It gives a better look at the whole decoration. It's weird to see an old building or a gothic house with white ceilings...

I'm guessing Sims 4 wasn't supposed to have the camera angle of looking up. So ceilings weren't put into the programming.

I realy hope we get cieling textures, the white kills me, especally when making balconyy like areas... and there's just a line of whitee that ruins everything :/

same when makingg gothicbuilds and such...

Lol, I still can’t even see ceilings in my game.

No, you have to have the walls up entirely. I've seen ceilings in my game. But, putting ceiling tiles overhead was a pain in the tuckas in Sims3, I just don't need to worry about them. Although, I do appreciate that some will and if EA can add them, I just won't bother with it too much. ;)

It’s so weird. Even when my walls are all the way up, all I see above is sky. I’ve never once seen a ceiling in this game, even though I have roofs.

@Rouenpucelle You need to go into screenshot mode and then hit the "up" key for the next floor. This will keep your view on the current floor, but let you see whatever is above it, like the ceiling or a balcony above.

I think players who don't take a lot of screenshots probably don't really ever see the ceilings. But since I take tons of screenshots, not being able to edit the blank whiteness to a color or texture that fits the rest of the decor bothers me. Doesn't look too bad in this shot, but in some shots it looks awful because it doesn't fit. Like rustic cabins or gothic mansions.

Hit "tab". It removes all the UI and it allows more flexibility for moving the camera around. While in that mode you can use Q key to get really low angles for example, and you can move the camera outside of the boundaries where your sim can walk in the world, so you can see, for example, the backside of decorative buildings in San Myshuno where you can't actually walk. In this mode, you can also do what I explain previously and hit the "up" key to see the ceiling or up a stairwell to the next floor (and not get the "open to the sky" look you were talking about. You can't play the game in this mode (no way to click on things and interact) you can just have more freedom moving the camera and taking better looking screenshots.

Maybe other people just call it "tab mode"? I've always called it "screenshot mode" because that's what it's good for.
