It’s no secret that Simmers enjoy the process of decorating as much as actually playing their Sims.
In fact, plenty of players even enjoy that more – and rarely see a moving Sim in the house they lovingly built.
Every facet of building is very important, though. Whether this part of the game is something you love or not.
No home is complete without doors, windows, or flooring.
What we already have in the game is pretty straightforward, but Custom Content creators have really come up with endless things in each category to bring a fresh new feeling to any build.
You can have it all and never lament over not having carpet in the right color, or missing the kind of tile you want again. With this list, you’ll have all the choices you need to make the best homes ever.
Carpet can have a powerful impact on a home, which I’m guessing is how the creator came up with the name here.
It also doesn’t have to be nearly as simple as you might think with what we have in the game already.
That carpet is quite low-key, just kind of there. It has mostly neutral tones (which are perfect for an array of interiors), but sometimes it’s nice to have more choices.
And that’s exactly what you’ll get with this CC set.
The recolors definitely are powerful, coming in many new bright colorful swatches.
Now you can have a deep red carpet, powder blue, petal pink, and many others to carpet your Sim’s home.
Even the yellows and whites, which we already have, seem a little more vibrant here.
Gone are the days of the floors blending into the background. Now they’ll be an integral part of the overall look in their own right.
The word “vintage” means different things to different people.
To many, that spurs images of dull walls and floors, gaudy furniture, and decorating schemes so outdated it’s liable to give today’s interior designers nightmares.
But those who appreciate vintage things know that a lot of good came with the bad.
There were a lot of ornate designs, including geometric shapes and stunning, subtle floral accents like you’ll find on these tiles.
They’re striking and brilliant, sure to improve any space you use them.
Each of these 12 swatches is honestly an amazing gem in its own right.
No two are alike, so it’ll take you a while to get familiar with all of them.
Here’s some more carpet, to give you all the choices you could ever dream of, and more.
This time it’s from creator Simpixus, who created this highly textured flooring in 43 swatches – er, flavors.
Yes, she dubbed them flavors.
Whatever floats your boat.
Many of the bright colors like blue, pink, purple, and green are kind of reminiscent of candy, so maybe that’s why. They’re just happy and fun!
But the darker colors are great, too. There’s something here to suit all of your needs, whether your build is a modern one, retro, residential, commercial… no matter what, this awesome carpet will be there for you.
It’s rare that custom content can make me snort-laugh, but here we are, with this lovely creation called “The Carpet From My Dad’s House.”
Kudos, Sillyfidget.
This is truly amazing.
I mean… visually, not so much. This carpet is grungy and faded – but that’s exactly what makes it so appealing. 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.
Forget stains and dirt, it’s supposed to last a lifetime, darn it!
And that’s exactly how long this carpet will look like it’s been in your Sim’s house.
It has a shag texture with a great range of colors.
If you’ve spent a lot of time CC hunting, then you know there are some creators that have made a lot of truly incredible things. Some names you just come to know and admire.
Peacemaker is one of those for many players.
He’s made tons of things for the Sim home like furniture and décor, as well as flooring.
This set is all about wood floors.
Their beauty is truly on display here in all four of the variations.
First up is the Herringbone design, something that has really taken off in recent years. That intricate pattern adds an elegant feel to the room and these dark colors are so rich, you’ll never grow tired of seeing them.
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.
The last option you’ll have from Peacemaker is a simple hardwood floor. But it sure is beautiful.
It has a rather worn look, but manages to be a perfect authentic wood design, without sacrificing the game’s style.
This is one type of flooring you don’t often see, and it’s a shame because it sure is elegant.
It has a very unique look that is distinctly, undeniably marble. Any room can benefit from a bit of glitz and glam – and that’s the exact feel this CC brings.
The six swatches are all separate and new, with some being rather simple while others incorporate detailed designs.
Black marble looks especially fancy, in my opinion!
This is one flooring type this is so under-utilized that I can’t even tell you what we have for it in-game, honestly.
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.
Ever since The Sims 3, I have wondered why linoleum is a separate category from tile.
It’s the same thing… or so I thought.
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.
Since that’s obviously not a concern in The Sims, I’m still puzzled as to why it’s not just considered tile.
I mean, visually it’s all the same!
But whatever, semantics aside, this flooring from Midnight Rose is lovely.
These feature the classic design of squares and diamonds, and the alternating colors make for an even more ornate look than you’d expect from linoleum.
This is great for any room that’s prone to see a lot of messy work or foot traffic, like kitchens and laundry rooms.
As I’ve gone over before, marble is pretty fancy lookin’.
This isn’t the kind of flooring you’ll find in a country cottage or city apartment.
For goodness sake, it’s golden. And it’s marble.
This is best suited to mansions, good enough only for households like the Landgraabs and Spencer-Kim-Lewis.
You can place it wherever you want, really… I’m no elitist.
But you must admit, there’s a definite air of sophistication here that you just won’t get from even the nicest & most polished wood floors.
Gold is also one of those colors that’s bold in and of itself. But depending on what other colors you use in the room, it can give some interesting results.
Paired with blue or red furnishings, this gold marble will feel rather regal.
But black and silver will compliment it in a more understated way.
You may be amazed by how much a simple recolor can make something seem brand new.
That’s exactly the case with these “new” wood floors.
They’re actually as old as The Sims 4 itself. But since this Simmer has given us plenty of swatches with gorgeous pastel colors, they look fresh and fun.
The base game’s four usual wood designs are included here, including the various planks and herringbone.
Now it’s possible to bring the brightness you usually get from carpet to your Sim’s home while getting to use the classic look of wood!
And these are so pretty, they’re good to use for any room.
Honestly, what room wouldn’t benefit from light pink wood floors!?
From kids bedrooms to bathrooms, these recolors are guaranteed to improve any room.
It can be a difficult endeavor to make sure each room in your build stands out on its own.
After all, if it’s somewhere your Sim is gonna be settled down for a while, you’ll be seeing a lot of it.
So it’s best to make sure it’s something you actually like looking at!
And you’ll never grow tired of seeing these tiles from Evi.
Each and every one really pops, so all together, it’s like the floor is a work of art.
These four swatches feature a variety of floral designs, intricate detailing, and some of the most bold and beautiful colorings you’ll ever find in build & buy CC.
These can be used in more than one way, too.
Outside of the obvious, which would be using them on the entire floor of a room, you could make them the center amongst wood or other tile, or create your very own complicated design.
I just roll with what’s available without much question.
All of this time, it has never struck me as weird how there’s only plain carpet in the game… when the carpet in my own house is striped!
We’re better off the more we don’t notice these things, I think. I haven’t been able to look at my builds quite the same since I realized there are no light switches or sockets, either.
But no matter, this is just about flooring and how to make it optimal for your Sims and their tastes. This striped design has a classic look as well as a ribbed texture, which helps bring out the stripes even more.
Oh, and if you’ve ever fretted over a lack of color wheel in the game (who hasn’t?) then don’t worry.
This creator did all the work for us by including a truly impressive 50 swatches!
You’ll never find yourself disappointed by the lack of flooring swatches again, as long as you stick to this CC pack.
At the end of the day, this is a life simulation game.
And in real life, floors are seldom as spic and span as they are for our Sims.
But aside from the Bust the Dust kit (which exaggerates the plight of a dusty house a little more than most of us deal with), their floors are spotless most of the time.
And that just doesn’t reflect reality, considering how many old houses out there haven’t had new floors put in for half a century or more.
This old flooring set will bring things down to a more relatable level.
The tile is worn, faded, and will always be vaguely dirty-looking no matter how much your Sims mop.
Plus there are three variations that change the tile size, and all of them have plenty of swatches you can use as you please.
