Sims 2, floor tiles darker inside house

Personally, I only use rugs if I have wood or tile floors. Every swatch has a rich wood coloring, ranging from your typical dark shades to lighter whites and beiges. That carpet is quite low-key, just kind of there. Gone are the days of the floors blending into the background.

But the darker colors are great, too. I mean… visually, not so much. The unfortunate truth is that not everyone keeps their floors in great condition. Dads especially seem to have a way of installing carpet one time and then leaving it there for the next thirty years. Some names you just come to know and admire. First up is the Herringbone design, something that has really taken off in recent years. Chevron is another elaborate pattern, and there are two different styles here: one is a much more defined version, and the other keeps it more subtle.

But it sure is beautiful. It has a very unique look that is distinctly, undeniably marble. The six swatches are all separate and new, with some being rather simple while others incorporate detailed designs. Most of the time, tile is instinctually the thing people choose for bathrooms. But marble has a totally different appearance — one that adds a more uniform look, since it may even be matched to counters or showers.

I always overlook how important flooring is for outdoor areas, until I want to make a patio. Those types of textures can really look beautiful in this game — as evidenced by this collection from Simsi I believe these would also be interesting as kitchen flooring. These are both available in dozens upon dozens of swatches. It turns out linoleum has kind of fallen out of popularity in recent years because it requires regular maintenance, lest you want your floors to start curling up at the edges.

Those defined hexagon shapes are so unique, especially when paired with the swatches this creator included. The multicolored ones are very eye-catching, but even the staples likes solid gray, brown, and white are classics in the making. This is best suited to mansions , good enough only for households like the Landgraabs and Spencer-Kim-Lewis. But depending on what other colors you use in the room, it can give some interesting results.

Those three colors were the pillars of interior design back then. Most of the tile we see is simply square. Floor tiles can be rotated with the use of the , and. Optionally, a second tile can be added on the other side of the same grid tile through the same means done before. Visible ceilings were introduced in The Sims 2: Apartment Life.

Before that, ceilings were assumed to be present, but were not visible. Ceilings can be created by placing floor tiles on the floor above. A generic "popcorn ceiling" floor tile is used as the default ceiling, although players can customize the ceiling by adding any floor tile they wish to it.

As ceiling tiles are technically floor tiles, they can also be used as regular floor tiles. Apartment Life also introduces a "45 Degree Angle Tool" that allows the player to view the ceiling more easily. Ceilings are also visible in The Sims 2: Pets for console , and the feature was carried forward into The Sims 3 and The Sims 4 , where ceilings are automatically created when a room is built. Ambitions reintroduces the ability to customize ceilings in The Sims 3 , although the 45 degree angle tool was never reintroduced.
