How are there tables with no matching chairs?

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

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.

oooooh those curtains. My blood is just boiling now. In my mind, the curtains should just automatically come in 3 different heights. Or at least most of them. Those WONDERFUL Cats and Dogs curtains that aren't hideous like most of the curtains in the game? Why do they only come in a n extra-tall option? Why can't I have them for regular sized walls?

And I agree. We need WAY more curtain swatches. I always end up with styles I don't like because it's the ONLY color/pattern that matches my room.

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?

Tell me how many parents out there in Reality Land can afford descent beds for their children? It's a conundrum.

Then make them expensive. My Sim family is so rich they donate money just to throw it away. They can afford a nice bed for the kids. Just give me the option!

Real-life kids get a good sleep on anything, though. It's us older folks who wake up stiff and sore from a cheap mattress. I do use the mid-range beds for my kids, since real-life kids do need a bit more sleep. Teens, on the other hand, seem to be able to exist on coffee alone. That's where I get most annoyed with the beds - it's either a Princess Cordelia bed or a double bed, and the Princess Cordelia not only gets boring, it doesn't always suit my teen's personality and decor. (My goth boy loved it; my geek girl wanted something more sleek.)

Even with the mid-range beds for my kids, there are only three or four choices - the vast majority of beds are four or lower. I just don't understand why you'd even want more than a couple of really bad beds. They might be useful for a struggling family story, but otherwise, they spend so much time sleeping, they literally can't do anything but work, sleep and eat.
