Some Store objects revert to original colors
noname:
I have noticed that some of the store objects will not keep their customized CAST patterns after being placed in a moving family's inventory. Yesterday, I also noticed that the problem happens with the "Overachieving Counter" if I try to put an appliance in it, or make it a corner counter.
When this happens, the instance of that object will no longer allow me to change its style, leaving me stuck with the stock colors if I want to use it.
I'm wondering if others have seen this same problem, and if there is a solution. It happened with just the base game, and it still happens in a fully patched WA install. None of this store content is paid for, BTW.

You're not the only one. I noticed this with one of the kitchen sets from the store. I recolored the counter, started placing them, but when it got to the corner, the corner counter turned to the default color and I couldn't change the color on it anymore. This makes it so I don't use the store counters anymore.

I haven't noticed with the store stuff, but have seen this with the counters. I will pick a color for all of my counters, set them down, and then sometime later decide I want them one square over. I pick one up, place it back down in new location, and it is now the default color combo. I don't recall if Undo, puts the color back when it puts the object back in it's previous location, but I do not believe so. I can't comment on putting counters down from catalog in a different color then the default, I often place the default down to look at style and then change all of the colors later.

The Overachieving Counter has always been a problem with reverting, but before the 1.8 update, you could design the colors back if they were wrong. Now you can't design them after the reverting, so I don't use them like that anymore. I just use them in the bathroom now.
Pity EA would "f" those cabinets up, they were the best ones. More of a pity, EA wants you to spend money on something that doesn't work. Tsk!

The Overacheiving corner counter has always been broken for me (only displays the default colour), no matter which game version. As a workaround I've been using the base game modern counter for the corner only, and the Overacheiving one for the rest - since the doors don't show on a corner counter, the difference isn't all that obvious.
