I really miss create a style. :'( The pattern choices and colors in the game, so far, are lacking. :'( This is the BASE game and I realize that. The fact that Sims 3 had this tool, and this game does not, makes NO SENSE to me :o . That was one aspect of Sims 3 that I really loved and thought was a true "keeper" for the future. I hope that it returns somehow or that we get a separate program (FREE, FREE, FREE) to create-a-style. <3

Imo furnishing is a nightmare currently, colors just never match and in general color selection feels way too limited. Quite often even similar looking colors on different items look really off1, and all together Sims 3 buildmode felt way less restrictive and more rewarding thanks to CAS and the color wheel. When it came to furnishing the only real limit was ones imagination, in TS4 on the other hand I spend most of my time clicking through all the available items, trying to find acceptable color premades, mostly without much success.

I get why people miss it, having so many styles when making a home was super useful but i never use it, not because i didn't want to is for the reason @Xminajesty mentions, It was a pain in the arse to use with all the lag and loading, but i get your point we need more styles in The Sims 4.

I love decorating and it's such a PITA in TS4. It takes forever to find stuff with presets that actually go together. :confounded: It's just no fun. I always have a blast with decorating in TS3.

I wish to see it return because as long as there is no customization, Sims 4 will always be lacking. In some areas of Sims development low end machines are what holds back progress regardless of how well the game plays without it and those that are more than capable of having it suffers.

I don't miss it that much except with some objects in build mode--such as doors. And matching wood tones on exterior elements.

I don't mind patterns as much as the color wheel, but 4 definitely has a lot lacking a lot of style now. I'm not a fan of mods/addons, but if someone makes a color wheel at least I'm downloading it :)

Ditto. I miss Create-a-Style too much. That tool really let my imagination go wild.

I miss it too. I think something similar but not quite so all-encompassing would be awesome (since it was making people's computers give up in protest). I just want to be able to make the color schemes match lol I don't care so much about selecting every single detail of how my object looks, but I would like to make it so they at least look like they came in a set. Lots of the color combos are kind of similar between different objects, and yet somehow not at all at the same time lol.

I really liked create-a-style! Yes it made my game lag (and occasionally crash) but the detailed customization was awesome! As others have stated, it does feel like there is a lack of matching objects into a set, especially bedroom furniture!! Sigh.
