Recoloring Questions

[Rebecca88]

Hi everyone! This might be a really stupid question and if it is, I apologize! I've been playing Sims 3 for over a year now, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to recolor objects in CAS. I've been able to use it for clothing and hair, but not objects. I use a Mac if that matters, and I thought I needed Create-a-Pattern, but I can't figure that out very well either. If someone could help me out or point me somewhere that would tell me, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thank you

It's not a stupid question.
Go in to Buy Mode. Right beside the hand tool is an artist palette click it and then click on the object then color away.

Hope this helps you.

Thank you moonshadow I'm at work now, but when I get home I'll try it!

You could also use the keyboard shortcut which is "R" quite helpful

I've been using CAS for months now, and never knew about the R key Thanks kiko!

No problem. There is also "E" for the eyedrop tool, "H" for the hand tool and "K" for the sledgehammer tool.

Thanks, I didn't know about those either, I guess I need to brush up on my keyboard shortcuts

There is an article on Create a Pattern here on Carl's site

but as has been pointed out, just to recolour, you only need the create a style tool (the artist palette in game)
