Create-a-Style is really missed
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 ...

To the whole argument that it is more realistic to have a limited choice on colors or patterns when designing a room. PFFFFFFFFT!!!!!!!
Have you never gone paint shopping? You can get a color of paint in any color you can imagine. Any. The choices of paint in wall coverings is decidedly unrealistically limited.
You can use that paint to customize many things in your home. You can paint the freakin' door and don't need to be stuck with all white doors which are more grayish white and in need of a paint job.
Realistically speaking, I can make my kitchen cabinets any color I like. I can cover them with gaudy cheetah print contact paper or aluminum foil.
Realistically speaking, if you walk into any reputable furniture store, more often than not you will be able to custom order the furniture with the fabric of your choosing. Still not enough options? Look to hiring an upholsterer and let your imagination run wild. Rainbow cat print sofa.
No more patterns/textures? Whatever. They've done what they've done and I'm learning to live with matte plastic, shiny plastic, in-the-middle plastic selections. But colors? That is proving to be quite a hindrance considering the colors are off from one item to the next.
A forced selection of three to twelve color combination options for fencing? Not realistic.
Want that wall covering in anything except baby hued pastels? Tough.
Tired of looking at white interior doors (which you can see the wood through, so you know they need a paint job). Ha.
Have you noticed that the wood pattern on almost all of the white wood interior doors is exactly the same? That reads as lazy to me.
That wall sconce would fit in perfectly if it were black? Tough plums, you get nasty brass and copper.
I like 'that' shelf, but why does it only have to be in pastels? In 'real life', can't I 'realistically' make in any color I want?
What I would LOVE to see, is EA give us a "Homecrafter" tool where at the very VERY least we can make our own walls and floors. For Plum's sake, we had it in Sims 1. I want nicely painted trim, not shoddy whitewash.
