im not a fan of the color wheel

I'm hoping there are basic swatches for those of us who just want to slap down a couch.

From what I saw there are three options, the standard swatches, a color wheel, and the ability to input RGB values. I love the RGB option. I only need to google the shade I want, input the numbers, and I have the exact color and shade I need.

That is a game changer in my eyes. No more having to skip a sofa design for example, because it doesn’t have the right color option for the room. We can get that now if we want to go through Sims4Studio, but most people don’t want to hassle with that. With RGB values we can do the same recolors in game. That sofa or chair design you love will always work in any build you choose.?

Thank you for explaining this to me! I had no idea what RGB numbers were. It sounded scary and complicated, but you made it seem way more approachable. Watching the Summit I was wondering if I would even have the skills to decorate my house! ?

With Sims 3, I used the wheel to choose a color scheme for my room, then I used the numbers and ctrl-c, ctrl v to copy and paste across pieces of furniture so I could keep things consistent, where I wanted to use them. There were a few objects and mainly custom textures that were buggy and wouldn't look right, even with the same numbers, but for the most part that worked If you want your chairs to match the couch.

It was also possible to save the furniture piece in the swatches you gave it, to the catalog, so you could use it again, and to share those with others. So I have no doubt in Sims 5 you will be able to have plenty of versions on whatever "Gallery" they come out with for sharing things.
The defaults right now are simple, because the game is still in testing. That might change too, as players playtest it.
