Um... it’s been a long time since I have played Sims 3, but I’m pretty sure Sims 3 has something called CASt (Create a Style), where we can change the texture of the house and objects and clothing....?
And it has a color wheel, too, for everything. So I don’t have to buy the recolors.
Oh, and Create a Pattern as well (in 2010?).
And Sims 3 also has build tools, too!
So Sims 3 does have plenty of ways to be creative in the technical sense. That’s a fact.
