How are there tables with no matching chairs?

It's like one team has gone off and done the tables... wonderful things that have been created, and another team on the opposite side of the world has gone off to do the chairs... again, wonderful creations ... --- but neither has been spoken to by the director and they have no idea of the others' existence --- hence totally different swatches for totally different designs.

I don't think anything encapsulates this point more than gates and fences... how much more discongruous can you get than these?!?!?!

Communication... maybe a word that the dev managers can place into their somewhat limited vocabularies...

Yes and windows and doors! Using 2 or 3 kinds of windows and/or doors in a house and finding that the colors don't match :flushed:

The windows as well!! I found a window that takes up three tiles and wanted to use two tiles, it’s it two tile counterpart is much taller than it.

I imagined them sitting at the conference table and saying in a evil smile >:) let’s make tables and not match them!! >:) >:) and then everyone starts laughing :D :D

Bedrooms and dressers... and why can't we pick bedding separately to the bed colour?

And why oh why do carpets and curtains all carry the same limited colour range?

This too! Love a cute bed from C&D but the blanket styles aren’t really my liking. Rarely do the curtains I pick, fit my windows, and when the do, they don’t match with their coloring, so I mostly avoid curtains

I also become peevish at the lack of colour matching. There are some beautiful pieces of furniture that I love the look of but have not used even once, as they don't go with anything. I have never been good at creating an eclectic theme, so for me things must match.

It could be easily solved with a furniture customization similar to what was in TS2, where you could customize the wood grains or the cushions individually. Far too often have I too been frustrated by the ill matching woods of table and chair or sofa and living chair.

Yes!! & the woods, too!! It can be such a pain when you're trying to furnish a room and really like a look you have going, only to find 1 of the woods is slightly darker or lighter!!

So true. I've ended up adjusting my plans or just using the closest match I could find after putting several different colors of two or more items side by side to see which looked best together. I don't like mixing across packs because that just makes it even harder to find matches.

I like to think that sometimes in real life, you can't easily find tables and chairs that match unless it's like a set. XD

Yes, we really do need more choice of bedding, and for it not to be tied to the frame colour.

Me too as I tend to choose the Cordelia beds so that my Sims get a good night's sleep. Why are the children's bed so uncomfortable too?

I know :( I think, if they ever include a sewing machine with a sewing skill, we should be able to have sims sew new blankets in a wide variety of colours and upgrade the lower-level beds with nicer bedding to improve their sleep quality.

And the limited colour range of one item cannot match the same range for another - if you have a choice between green, blue, grey and pink for each one, one will have a dark green and the other a lime green. If you have a long window in front of the house, and smaller windows on the side, you will not find long and short curtains that match, nor can you match a two-tile curtain to a three-tile curtain.

And, say you pick something simple - a white or black theme for your decor. How can two white items be a different colour, you think. And you end up with some objects that are obviously grey (even though the swatch showed white).

They're messing with us. There is no other explanation.

See, this is why I have over 4,000 cc build/buy items.
