Hi! Thank you so much for your Maxi Match Wood Palette and the texture! I was actually wondering how you apply the colour to the wood texture so it matches perfectly with EA's? I tried setting the colour's layer to "color" and "multiply" but it isn't a perfect match:/
My go-to layer blending is: base light gray texture, soft light color fill, multiply color fill, base light gray texture set to soft light, multiply color fill on 25%. Sounds complicated but it’s not and it’s worked really well for me!
Just to add an example: middle is original EA texture, bottom is just multiply, top is this method. Both are against a solid background that matches the color fill layers. I like how well it matches the color but also how much detail is preserved.
i was recoloring some cc hairs for the first time ever and i kind of fell into a rabbit hole... i spent one night (pulling an all-nighter like a fool) making some gradients that i could use for recoloring some of my favorite hairs. i mainly just wanted a pastel pink swatch but things got out of hand, as per ush. the gradients turned out so pretty that i thought i might as well share them with yall! 🩷
✿ info, previews and download under the cut! ✿
please use the maxis white swatch (highlighted below) as your base texture. this is the swatch i used in making the gradients for my palette, so using any other swatch will likely result in incorrect shades.
i have also included an example texture PNG in the zip file, please use it to roughly match (doesn't have to be exact) the shade and contrast of your base texture to the shade and contrast of that example PNG. you will also want to de-saturate your base texture to be grayscale, as the maxis white swatch is slightly tinted and therefore may result in incorrect shades.
if you need help with anything, please don't hesitate to message me! 💕

the zip file contains:
a GRD file with all the gradients
an ATN file with the coloring actions (only applicable in Photoshop, as far as i know)
an S4SPalette file with the Sims 4 Studio swatches
an example texture PNG file
preview images
instructions on how to use the batch recolor action
update july 11th 2025: i made some small improvements to the gradients, such as removing excess shine and adding shadows and texture. i also added a batch recolor action to the action folder, as well as instructions on how to use it. please redownload files!
I made a thing. Don't ask me why I've called it "honey punch." I just did. A 30-color palette that works well with the EA palettes used in Paranormal and Crystal Creations.
Melonie Waters has been my "event" Sim for a while now. Here's the most recent design of her studio house from my run-through of the Blast from the Past Event. I'm telling you, @lilsimsie's Comfy Gamer Kit and @myshunosun's Cozy Kitsch Kit work so well together for her watermelon color scheme. :D

I've reworked the Maxis swatches to use JUST the default sheet/pillow colors. All unique BG bedding (97 swatches), mattresses (45 swatches), and pillows (92 swatches) are now available. There are also 4 variants in the Academia palettes (solid, striped, patterned, and filigree).
The following bed frames are included with all 15 BG Extended Swatches:
inRepose Killer Queen Bed Frame
inRepose Mission Bed Frame
inRepose ModPod Bed Frame
inRepose Soothing Sleeper Bed Frame
The following bed frames currently include their default swatches only:
The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.
Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.
So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.
A heartfelt thank you to all of you who share love and amazing content, be it CC, stories, comments, ideas, gameplay or whatever comes to your creative minds - and all for free!

You've been asking and here it is. This was a massive undertaking, but one I've been wanting to do for awhile. There's a lot to describe, so hopefully the images help. Every item has all of it's available swatches in regards to brick surrounds, door colors, window options, etc. All of the tall items have been sized down for short walls and some 2-tile and 1-tile options have been added as well. There are a ton of files and they're huge. I paired like items together, e.g. glass options, wrought-iron options, etc. We're looking at 500+MB if you were to get everything. Thanks for checking it out and screenshots/downloads after the cut.

Zipped items
Note: Any of the smaller versions or variants of anything will require the main file; this was to cut down on file sizes.
Well, enjoy, consider this a holiday gift. Let me know if you come across any issues. Thanks friends.
