EA has been in a bit of a revitalising mood for The Sims 4 of late, revisiting and improving a range of existing features, and that spirit of rejuvenation continues with the game’s latest update, which adds a massive 1,200 colour variants to a whole heap of items.<\/p>\n

In total, 149 Build Mode items from the base game have received new colour options as part of the update, including cups, curtains, windows, lamp shades, floorboards, action figures, bins, ovens (and other assorted kitchen appliances), plus a huge range of furniture – from bookshelves and coffee tables to chairs and beds.<\/p>\n

The goal of all this, explains EA over on the official Sims 4 forum<\/a>, is to “complement and enhance [the game’s existing] assets so Simmers have more choices and have more use out of them”. Certainly, if you’ve ever found yourself frustrated that you couldn’t match your window box to your wastebasket in the past, your prayers may finally have been answered.<\/p>\n
