Design tool

[SallieH]

I really, really, miss the design too that was in Sims 3.  Where you could go in and change the pattern and colors of objects.  Is there any plan to incorporate this feature into the Sims 4?

I am an avid Sims player and have been playing since the original Sims.  Not having the design tool feature in Sims 4 feels like a big step backwards.  I read the forums and know other players would also like to see this feature in Sims 4.

Also, I hate that you can only purchanse some objects by reaching certain career levels. Very annoying.

Thank you for listening go my suggestions and rants.

SallieH, I too REALLY miss the Design Tool!  I hate when I have the perfect style of furniture or clothes but the colors are all wrong, especially with Tops & Bottoms! While I don't work for The Sims, or Maxis, Origin, or EA, before the Sims4 came out I think I remember them saying they were not planning on having a Design Tool because it makes the game lag waaaaay too much!    This was true with my Sims 3 game, as I wanted to save every pattern or color I came across!  I was a "design hoarder", and it almost made my game unplayable.   But I loved it soooo much and wish I could have it every time I Create a new Sim in The Sims4.  (Especially with some hair features that have flowers, or headbands, or jewels in their hair, but the color you get depends on your Sims' hair color.   If it doesn't match their outfit, you have to change their hair color to get the outfit colors to match!   So, I commiserate with you, even if I understand why they didn't include it with TS4!

I know this is a pretty old thread now, but I would also like to see the design tool from Sims 3 brought back to Sims 4. For someone like me with medically diagnosed OCD, I can literally go crazy trying to match windows for like four hours. I don't see it a lot here on EA's site, but I know the Sims community has a large amount of fans that want to see this feature implemented again.
