This beautifully-patterned roof in beautifully bright colors looks like something right out of a magical cottage (conveniently located in the middle of a forest, of course).
The scalloped design alone is already a visual treat.
But I love how the different tiles have different temperatures and/or saturations throughout. Really adds to the overall textural appeal.
These are recolors of the TS4 base game’s weathered wood shingles roofing.
As you can see in the preview photos, hellokittay’s versions have more contrast and saturation. They’re a little more vivid, and the colors really pop!
Some people are perfectly fine with the base game’s muted, low-saturation look.
But if you want something a little more intense (with the same quality), it’s great that this option exists.
Got some issues with how glossy the TS4 base game roofs are? Specifically the corrugated metal ones?
Don’t worry; you’re not alone.
This matte and textured CC version by plasticbox has been downloaded at least 12,000 times—all by people who are happy they no longer need to wear sunglasses when checking the roofing on their builds.
6. Mediterranean Magic Tile Roof Palette Extender by orangemittens
The creator was apparently inspired by a picture they found online of a very cute and very colorful series of townhouses, all lined up in a pretty row.
Can’t really blame them; I saw the inspo picture and was heavily compelled to visit.
Their custom roofing adds ten brighter, sunnier, happier colors to the base game shade options.
If you’re tired of everything in Del Sol Valley or Willow Creek looking dark, drab, and dreary, this offers an awesome solution.
I’ve never seen it used for roofing in real life (I don’t get out much), but I can imagine the effect is downright magical. Especially when the weather’s temperate and the skies are clear.
This recolor by faerieflower takes the glass roof from Get Together, makes it base game compatible, and adds 40 fun colors (plus 10 mystery flavors, apparently)!
8. The Sims 4 HD Project – Roofs (Re-release) by Kulren
Instead of making brand-new roofing, why not make the existing ones better? That’s the concept behind Kulren’s HD project and, I gotta say; the difference is subtle, but jarring.
I personally never realized how grainy and pixelated the roofing is in-game until I saw their comparison GIFs.
I always thought it was my settings. Nope.
These roofs are cleaner, brighter, and the details are of course more clearly defined.
Similar to martinakerr’s Thatched Roof, this roof adds a touch of handmade, back-to-nature building vibes that many Simmers find appealing! (I’m one of them).
This is supposedly an “au naturale” custom roof made of cobbled together straw.
Not sure how I feel about the lighter colors, but the darker swatches of this?
Lemme tell ya: *chef’s kiss*
10. Country Carriage Roofing Recolor by faerieflower
If you feel like you’ve cycled through all the roof options that the TS4 base game has to offer, this at least gives you a bit of variety.
It’s pretty neat and symmetrical for something that’s supposed to be rough. But the overall effect – plus the colors it comes in – is pretty darn pleasing to the eye.
