Color Wheel Mod

I so hope that some way is found to add this as to me it is one of my main things I love being able to change textures and colors of furniture wallpapers drapes and make all match exactly and its one of my greatest pleasures in the game when i do the decorating of the places iv built.. i really really miss it so much..

it is the main thing i really want to make this game rock for me, yes i miss some other stuff but i need that color and texture wheel back to make me happy:LOL

Everyone is so in love with that hell-sent color wheel. It was a slow and buggy mess with every texture in the book loading each time with it. I guess I rarely used it, so I can't understand the infatuation. I, in fact, hated the color wheel. They give us more than enough presets.

Why even post this in here? Great, you didn't like it and you don't miss it... some people do and this thread is for them. And your horrid GoT character eye-rolling gif can eat a bag. That's rude.

Also, we could use a color wheel even without all the patterns. More than enough presets? It's very difficult to get matching furniture in the game, so I wouldn't say they gave us more than enough.

I can accept the preset texture they give us, because I can work with not being able to customize every little aspect. But what I can't work with is the colors. Just basic colors so that my sim's clothing match for heavens sake!

Because if it's one thing that I'm really OOC about, it's matching style!

It wouldn't be so bad if furniture and windows that matched, could match in colors as well. Maybe they could give us 5 basic colors (white, black, brown, tan, blue) that would be available for EVERYTHING! Then at least we could make things go together well.

I can't believe they took the colour wheel out in the first place. Sims 3 was big on the whole we're giving you more creativity more style to do what you want and now they're like oh wait no, forget all that lets pretend that never happened.. back to the basics. >-<

Even without the pattern tool they could have given us the colours and also the ability to do that in CAS mode for hair styles.. and actually highlight their hair the way we could in Sims 3.

basically, the color wheel broke the game for too many people for EA to consider it successful. it was where the majority of lag and glitches came from.

That color wheel would crash my game about 75% of the time. I had to make sure I would save my game every ten minutes each time I was building a lot. For someone who had more fun building than any thing else it got to the point that I wouldn't play the game for MONTHS at time because of how frustrating it was. When I bought a new laptop so I could play TS4 and installed TS3 I no longer had crashing issues, but It still took for EVER for it to load and would still freeze up. All in all I do miss how customizable things were, but I do NOT miss the hassle.

I do hope that we get something that we can alter things with. I would have no issues with things as we did for TS2 for doing recolors. I am so needing my Dali, Van Gogh and Kinkade!!!!!!

Thinking on this issue the best work around I can think of would be an external application that would allow the user to unpack items, patterns, clothing, etc, and then edit the existing color swatches to suit their taste. Followed by repackaging the newly modded items back into the game replacing the originals. With this methodology players would be able to set up sets of colored items for those objects they use in game. The benefit of doing so in this manner is that there would be zero impact on game play performance. I suspect that we may see this released by Maxis at some point unless a crafty programmer/ mod author is able to launch one before they get such a tool up and running.

The problem for me is that none of the furniture I like match, which is annoying. Especially when I like woods and materials to match, so I basically have to choose if I want the table I like or the colour I like but thats another table that I'm not too keen on. The colour wheel was fine in the sims 3, would I like it in the sims 4.. of course but I would settle for more chooses and the option chose for the wood and then choose the colour for the material..I don't like EA choosing everything like they did in sims 2...if blue goes with black or if pink goes with white..I want to choose. It is sim 4 after all not sims 2.5.

Sadly EA cannot please everyone.. and apart from a few things, I am happy with the new game even though I thought i wouldn't be.

Color wheel was a pain to match the colors, you had to type in three sets of number to match up the colors on anything for each piece of the clothing or furniture.

with all the modders out there there is hope that someone who has a lot of time on their hands will create a color wheel mod possibly a create-a-style mod
