Dear SimGurus, why do these doors ONLY have a single white color?

That's a good question...
I've always wondered why they don't have the same color swatches. I know there's some custom content that gives adds the missing swatches, but it would be nice if the mod wasn't needed though.

I wouldn't even call the swatch a white color but a sort of grayish color, if they add new swatches they could at least add an actual white tone.

I think we'll be seeing some new swatches in a future patch.

Hopefully new door swatches will be included.
The developers are aware.

I think they're only available in 1 colour as they're classed as the cheap starter doors... If you've ever been to a DIY shop and looked at the cheap options for doors, they're normally only available in 1 colour as making them in any other colour will cost the manufacturer more to mix the dyes and cover the doors in seperate colours... I've worked in a few larger stores and that's the official reason when we get asked about it.

Nope, most of the white ones on the left are even more expensive than the other ones on the right.

An they all share the same "basic" texture, but some of them only have one white color.

I hope they add color swatches to these plain white doors on the left

Lazy programming. The same can be said for many of the windows.

The white doors irritate me, because they're not just white - they always have some bizarre frame colour that doesn't match anything. And then, there's the 'mega' doors, which only come in three shades. Since I bought JA and Strangerville, I'm finding that I'm using doors and windows from those packs a lot, just because I can get them to match.

They should really fix this...

This would have been more acceptable! A simple color wheel would have been fine. The problem in TS3 was the amount of textures. We don't care about textures, a simple color wheel like that with simple colors is what should have been done in the first place.
