Inefficiency in TS4 Swatches
TS4 uses a premade swatches system instead of having a colorwheel or Create a Style for the sake of performance since it 's supposed to require less memory since if you used CASt, every texture you cr...

I agree in the swatches comments versus the system that was used with Sims3 and customization. If it was supposedly intended as a performance thing with Sims4, why is it that some of us are actually noticing just as much of a performance or resource hit running it as we might have with Sims3 at times (or, at least, it sometimes feels that way)?
What annoys me at times is not just that some things don't even seem to match (or that we can't as easily customize certain items as we could in even Sims2), but just the limitations we sometimes have or in trying to match certain items and being limited to basically all white (which might work in certain situations, but some of us might want those different wood tones/finishes or may want to be able to work with colors in such a way that things go together more).
Or, we may have otherwise gorgeous objects in the game we might want to use in certain situations, but the options that are offered either will sometimes include wild colors or patterns (which might work in certain other situations but maybe not for things like a historical household or even some normal sim households). It would be nice in those situations if we even had other options that included maybe solid colors or something like one might find in everyday life as an option as well.
While I'm happy that I sometimes don't have to wait long periods for a lot to finish rendering as with Sims3 at times and honestly love some of the features we have with Sims4 as well as some of the objects and how we can better customize sims, I also miss having some of the level of customization that we had in Sims3 with respect to colors and patterns.
