So many colors for solid color wall paint, but no black?

Seriously, the basic paint wall pattern has several entries with nearly all the colors one would want, except black. How does one build a decent home for a Stormtrooper without that? HM?!

Seriously though, we need a few more swatches on most of the patterns, wall or otherwise, unilaterally.

  • Ugh, most of the blacks in this game are basically just a super dark brown too. It drives me nuts. Spa Day has some true black swatches that I use frequently, and Spooky Stuff has a few but they all have patterns. I gave up on using the Vampires swatches unless I'm using wood flooring to match the moldings.

    Don't even get me started on the furniture swatches. Why does EVERYTHING have to have brown accents/legs, or just no basic black/white swatch! I don't mind having patterns and stuff, but just give us basic colored swatches with everything - like how they did the base game doors :'(
  • There's also no cream colour for walls. I've been searching for one, but can't find it. They're all too yellow.

    Base game 'plain but pretty' has a black swatch. There's several patterned ones, the ones that immediately come to mind came with Vampires. I recently remembered to start filtering by colour and it's been a life saver.


    Yes, but it also has floor moulding. I just want plain solid color.


    If you use platforms you can raise them by 1 or 2 and it will hide the floor mouldings.

    Went ahead and made that wall. Just as a comparison, I put the "Plain but pretty" on the right side.

    Its just the one swatch/colour.


    Thank you for sharing this! :)

    Black isn't a thing in this game. Look at the "black" haircolor.


    The black looking blue is actually an art style choice in a lot of cartoons and anime, which the sims 4 had a cartoony art style. Whether you like it is all subjective, But I would like a true black hair color.
  • I've always been able to make a solid black room whenever I want to play my Black Widow. Lol :D

    Got it, thank you! Will need it if I do Titanic again. That's a lot of lots in TS2.
  • No wonder Sims 2 was so popular. Unfortunately, I've only played Sims 3 & 4. However, I would love a Titanic in Sims 4.
  • Do wish we could get a black swatch and a white swatch on the basic darks and basic light swatches both with and without the top and bottom mouldings. A black room with crisp white trim would look so cool.
