Hair Swatches

I know this has been said time and time before but we really need new hair swatches. I'm so tired of having to choose between cheese or bleached if I want a blonde haired sim. Same issue with brown hair, one brown is too dark and the other is too light and too red toned. We need more variety!

I don't really understand why there's 3 red swatches which have very small differences between them, yet we get a grand total of two brown swatches when brown is a much more common hair colour. It's just bad, we really need more :s

Here's a graphic I made with some possible swatches they could add to the hairs so pretty much every shade is included

Also the black swatch, why is it so blue? :|

I get that making new swatches isn't the easiest this late on but if they were to create a colour preset they could literally just take the files of the existing blonde swatches and apply the preset to all of them, and bam you have an entirely new swatch for every hair. If they were to do it this way from what I understand it really wouldn't be that hard. The swatch colour files already exist for every hair, just down the brightness and adjust the levels and you get a completely different hair colour.

  • I want more swatches too !! And I hope they fix the lightest blonde swatch that's unusable with some hairs :

  • I am all for expanded swatches for the hairs, especially if they include the "going gray" hairs too. It's always bothered me that there are only two options for the "salt and pepper" look. The game has needed this for a long time, as well as other CAS items that it's lacking in.
