“The Art Team’s vision was to complement and enhance these assets so Simmers have more choices and have more use out of them. Also, why not?” Maxis say. Why not, indeed. The charms of Live Mode are forever foreign to me, the person who just builds and builds forever. I am entirely unacquainted with the trials of wrangling a Sim’s mood but very, very in tune with the fact that sometimes you want to mix window styles and realize that you just can’t find a wood color swatch that matches.

The whole boatload of new color options will, I hope, solve some of those little corners I find myself painted into. Several window designs have gotten additional wood color options, as have some other wood decor items. If nothing else, it includes a literal rainbow of solid color options for several different window curtain designs. Thank goodness, because the two-tone ones never seemed to be quite what I wanted.

Two sets of countertops have gotten new color choices too. In particular, the base game BlandCo Contemporary Counters have some new colourful and neutral choices. There’s a black, white, and natural wood design in particular that looks like it was intended to match the slew of new shelving systems in the Dream Home Decorator Pack. Oh yes, I am happy to report that it does in fact match.

You can spot a few of the new additions in the screenshot up top there, but the entire list with images is over inMaxis’s post. You can also get the details on the couple new outfits and hairstyles being added to the base game, also shown up top there.
