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.?

I tend to skip a sims series. It appears it'll be #5 I'll skip. I've skipped #3 too. This started because I bought all of the stuff for #1 and #2. Are there more people feeling the same way about it? I've spend a lot of money on this iteration already. It should last me a long time ;)

(Even though longevity in games is a thing of the past now.)

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! ?

You’re welcome. RGB is fairly easy and you can google the numbers for pretty much any color you can imagine. There will still be the old familiar options along with some new ones. I’m pretty excited by the few peeks I’ve gotten of what’s coming for build/buy. It looks like there will be something for every skill level.

I think you and I are almost opposites, but similar fashion. I owned all of Sims 1, skipped 2 because I was a teenager at the time and my mom thought it looked a little too adult. Then I bought all of 3, and eventually all of 2 aswell, but after 3 was out and it was ridiculously reduced in price. It might have been used too. Now, 4 I had been skipping until they made it free to play, and announced they were working on 5. I thought "Hey, why not." I have a few expansions for 4 I got when it was on sale, but don't intend to buy everything. I'm really hoping I will like 5 when it comes out.

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.

Sims 5 is a definite NO from me. Not after 3 and 4.
And with Grant in charge of it.....he royally screwed up 4 with City Living and situational outfits.
Just no. I'll wait for 4 to be finished and then mod the heck out of it after there is no more updates.

I'll just go back and forth between 3 and 4. And an occasional play of 2. Or even 1.

It's lost it's lustre and newness and fun. I don't think there's anything they could "wow" me with to make me interested in it.

I WILL NOT PURCHASE SIMS 5 IF:

EA continues this trend of limiting the game because of people playing on "minspecs" computers, which was stated why the new world coming in the Growing Together EP is only coming with 12 lots once AGAIN!

I'm sick of it! They charge an outrageous amount of money for nothing! I can't even have my entire extended family live close to each other in these tiny worlds because there's only 4 Lots per neighborhood! Who only has 4 houses in a neighborhood?!!!

ONE FREAKING LOT LOADS AT A TIME! NOT THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!

I won't purchase Sims 5 if EA is not interested in actually creating an enjoyable game. I'd like the repetition of previous Sims games where they put a lot of thought and care into even the base game alone and followed up with the rest of the packs. I'm probably being overly hopeful here.

I will not purchase Sims 5 if I don't have the money.
I will not purchase Sims 5 if I do have the money.

I'd rather dump the cost of the Sims 5 base game in the stock market and hope for the best.
