Overrepresentation of white/grey/black counter tops - wooden and stone patterns are needed!

yeah and tile or stone tops every dang time
I haven't even ever seen tile top in real life come on

I was hunting for the exact swatch in picture too (with wood freaking top)
but it seems not this time either

would have thought the modern blergh theme would bring it about but no

Also overrepresentation of wealthy people counters! Can we get a grunge pattern for some of the counters?

I assumed the reason why the kitchen sets had pastel colors was because they wanted the new kitchen sets to have at least one color from new likes/dislikes colors.

I don't have the pack so I can't check but I'm guessing maybe this was the case?

According to the stream. They picked the aesthetics in this pack so that nothing pop out in the scene. The idea was to let the player to create accents and signature looks with the furniture already existing in the game while having the furniture in this pack as the foundation. (it's at about 00:27 of the stream)

I think that bb wise DHD has filled many holes that we were having (walk in closets, square tables, footstool sofas, sectional sofas, painting and much much more) I don't mind that they focused on one style, I think it payed off, but I hope than now that we have a very good foundation of mid-century/contemporary stuff the design team will move on more signature and different looks so that we can mix and match more.

I think the countertop in the second picture is very pretty and would be a nice addition to the game. We have quite a lot of wood textures in game, but they don't show much grain and looks like plastic. The grey countertops I always assumed they were meant to be stone. I would also like some 50's laminate countertops.

To be honest, EA can just make some recolors for the base game counters as CC creators did it:

I feel upset (especially as a console player) because I see that a huuuge potential is wasted because of weird color choice.

I have a stone counter top in real life. Well - "faux marble" - a type of fake marble that has plastic melted in granite like patterns alongside glass and stone (it actually cost us more than real granite because it's dangerous to work with when cutting it - but safer to own).

These are popular now because they're non-porous; the safer to own aspect. That means no contaminates seeping into the marble, granite or wood. Wipe it down, and it's clean. You can wipe a wood or real marble counter top all day long, even with bleach, and bacteria will still set in. I believe granite, once properly sealed, is also non-porous.

In our bathrooms we use tile - and the grout between the tiles makes for a constant cleaning project because it will absorb contaminants. That said, it's a lot less of an issue to go cleaning your bathroom with bleach and such than doing the same in the kitchen.


I do think they need more variety in the game though. That other stuff is still in a lot of old homes and still being put in new ones even if it's not as safe.

Wood and marble/granite countertops are sealed and you can reseal them every now and then if needed. But sims don't have that problem and besides if they can make fake granite and stone, why not make also fake wood? We're looking for the wood aesthetic here which gives a warmer look to a home than granite.

They should have made countertops separate from the counter so you could mix and match.

Same with bedding and beds.

Ahh yes please !
