Color schemes moddable?

[Thugnificent]

I really hope the color schemes can be modded. Orange wallpaper for condos and condo services is horrendously ugly. :P I hope I'm not the only one who thinks this.

Can't wait!

I hope they will be moddable, but not necessarily because of the orange color on its own -- though that was an intersting design decision.

I'd like to see the different apartments have different colors that match their level and have a more muted tone so they aren't quite so eye popping bright. Perhaps even configurable by the user, if that's possible.

Example:
The studio apt could be that orange color (or a dingy brown etc) -- or you could go into the "creative" studio style and have it be a bright jewel tone color.

A standard 2 bedroom could be a cream/tan color

The luxury apartment or loft could be a bright white/modern style

On and on...it would be a neat option and a way to change up the scenery, so to speak.

Slightly off-topic: I'd also hope the people sprites are moddable as well to provide all sorts of looks for tenants and visitors from the city.

In the 60's-70's orange and olive greens were in vogue. I remember my house when growing up... it was horrendous. Olive green carpet and orange kitchen. *shudders*

LOL!

That does sound horrible. Maybe we need some green shag carpet to go in with the orange studio apartments? :D

[edit]: Completly forgot the main topic, so bad of me, sorry
YES!
Colours can be changed in modding, feel free with that!
You can even do this!!!!

That is great news! If you have time could you briefly outline the process of changing the colors. In short, will it be complicated or will we need special software to do so?

OT: The last house we owned had the pink walls/pink countertop in the bathroom. We didn't have a ton of money laying around, but that new paint was the quickest purchase decision ever. :)

Any software that can cope with layers and saves as a .png will probably work just fine.
we are testing out our own tutorials on how to MOD and we are finding them very simple, Rob the lead Programmer wrote these, and his personality certainly shines through!
We will be sharing these with you guys when we feel the docs are good enough, but we are 99.9% sure that these will be release before the release date :)

I just reinstalled this game to start chasing down some achievements I never really went for back in the day.

And here I find not only a resurrected five-year old post, but one I actually posted in twice, and also one that I might be able to help help with now.

Anyway, apparently there's a beige condo made by someone on the workshop (there are various sizes), I have NO idea if they still work or are any good, but here you go:
