Ctrl+shift+click works for changing them in build mode. I do something similar, only instead of changing the color, I change the intensity to dim.

I couldn't help but to giggle that the sims in your house have the same tiles in the bathrooms as in the kitchen. My first question(s) if I saw that irl would be 'Did you buy too many tiles?'/'Were they on sale?'.


Can I ask where you are from?  I have not seen many places that have different tiles throughout the house and wonder where that would be a common thing.

Lorelei:
I did not know this was a "thing". Some of our properties (past and present) have (had) the same tiles in kitchens and baths and some do not / have not. It never occurred to me that having the same tiles in both places might be a bad thing, if they are neutral tiles.

I suppose some of those nasty fake brick-looking lino tiles for kitchens would look assy in a bathroom, but most neutral tiles I have seen IRL are well-suited to either room.

witch:
*cough* Lino *cough* is often the same in both bathroom and kitchen in many of the places I've lived. My homes generally don't stretch to tiles.

Telcara:
I used to live in Sweden, having the same tiles in the bathroom and kitchen would be a no-no. Norm is white tiles (usually linoleum on the floor) in bathrooms and something else in the kitchen. Some kitchens only have tiles behind the sink area, like my mom's - the tiles are actually white but there's so few you don't think 'bathroom' when you see them. I never really thought of the tiles stuff but as much as I recall, I haven't come across a kitchen and bathroom with the same floor and/or complete wall tiles during the 14 years I lived there. I have probably come across linoleum being the same all through a house, usually older and not recently renovated. Eh, I think people are quite conscious about their houses and put a lot of thought when renovating. A friend of mine would probably rather die than have the same tiles in her two bathrooms.

Thanks, I'll try the magic light thing.
