After many weeks of work, I’m happy to finally unveil my new version of Color Sliders!

Inspired by thepancake1’s original mod, but built from the ground up, this version reimagines the slider UI, expands support to even more EA assets, and, best of all, requires NO texture packages.

What's New

  • Support for ALL CAS items across every currently released expansion pack, game pack, stuff pack, and kit

  • No more texture packages. This version includes a small native adapter for both Windows and macOS that allows the game to color-shift its own original textures. No textures are cloned or overridden, freeing up more than 20 GB of space for players with all packs installed

  • 11 new slots, bringing the total from 90 supported slots to 101: Skin Overlays, Head Tattoos, and Horse slots (Saddle, Bridle, Reins, Blanket, Hoof Color, Mane, Tail, Forelock, Feathers, and Horn)

  • Redesigned sliders that track your exact hue and make it much clearer what color you’ve created

  • Quality-of-life improvements, including fixes for several EA visual and slider-related bugs. Sliders that cannot affect a particular EA part are now hidden instead of remaining visible but grayed out

  • Full compatibility with More Columns in CAS. Just make sure to place Color Sliders in an override folder

  • Full compatibility with existing Color Slider-enabled CC

About the Mod

If you don’t already know, thepancake1 has stepped away from modding for the foreseeable future. He has graciously allowed me to adopt (and iterate upon) Color Sliders in his absence, and I’ve updated his version here.

I’ll continue supporting his version through the end of the Early Access period. After that, I’ll begin directing everyone to this new version instead.

Installation

Due to the nature of using an adapter to extend the engine's functionality, installation differs between Windows and macOS.

macOS

On macOS, an included setup tool will need to be run once before using the mod for the first time, and again after each game patch.

Full installation instructions for macOS are available on the download page.

📝 Note: Only silicon-based Macs are supported at this time.

Windows

On Windows, installation is as straightforward as downloading any other mod. However...

⚠️ Smart App Control may block Color Sliders from running. Until I am able to complete Microsoft’s app verification process, the current workaround is to disable Smart App Control.

Full installation instructions for Windows are available on the download page.

Compatibility

  • Built on game version 1.129.39. I cannot guarantee compatibility with older game versions or provide support for issues encountered while using the mod on them.

  • The mod is fully compatible with More Columns in CAS, as long as you place Color Sliders in a priority folder.

  • Compatibility with other, newer CAS mods will be evaluated upon request.

Special thanks to thepancake1 for his trust, and to SimMattically for helping test the mod.

I know you *just* posted so no rush; If we replace the existing color sliders mod with this one, will saves be compatible and will changed things save? Like sims with lowered opacity/color-adjusted skin details.

IrresistibleSims

Hello, thank you for taking over this incredible mod and making it so much easier on our Mods folder. I just have one question: when will this new version be free to the public?

D.

Absolutely amazing!!! thank you

tyjokr

Yes. It’s fully compatible. Neither thepancake1’s version nor my version replace the actual CAS part or their values, so those values should be saved and the same when you swap.

BigJayEnergy

Omfg! You killed this! Download download download! I’m so excited! lol

Bella Faith

Oh I am definitely subscribing and getting you that bag you deserve!!!!

Tangie0906

OMG, you never cease to amaze me! Thank you so much! When you get the time, I'd love to know if this is compatible with Lucien's Improved CAS UI (it puts CAS CC in categories). Thank you again for all your wonderful work!

tyjokr

I hadn’t heard of that mod before today. I’m open to exploring further compatibility with more CAS mods.

E E

Yes, Ea sunset the game the community do a better job at keeping it update .. thanks you so much...

E E

Makes me wonder what degree these people have working for Ea, I mean it don't even matter of they got or not. Talent is Talent and ur clearly talented asf.... omg u don't know how the community is going to cry in joy... finally a colour wheel

E E

Man I can't stop commenting im so happy and angry. Why on earth was EA unable to do this like why.im genuinely confused 😕 now

Claire Etoile

Wow, Even though I really liked the Color Slider mod, I had to give it up because of the texture files. Now I can add this mod back to my game, you're a genius 🤩​

simiebun

Absolutely amazing work! Thank you so much!

PSims

Does it work with Dynamic cas companion? :))

Kimikox

Wait this is actually so sick??? I can't wait to use this

Celebro Mine

OMG!!!! This is amazing! I was already trimming down my cas folder. This just freed up 31 gbs! Great job!

Gg

Is it compatible with improved CAS UI by Luc1en?

trsm0ln3

Not requiring texture packs is so good; that always confused me. Also, it took up sooo much space. The amount of GB it ate up to download textures for different packs was just insane. Can't wait until this comes out publicly

moonlitsimming

Thank you so much, this is truly a gamechanger! I'm on an Intel Mac - are only M chip/silicon macs supported? Totally understand if that's the case, I know Intel is considered outdated :)

JJ

How lucky we are to have you tyjokr! Thank you!

Kat Lilly

I downloaded the old version one time and stopped using it because it stopped me from seeing the eyebrow icons of who made them. it's been a really long time so idk how much sense this makes, but it's always why I never used it. If this one does not do that then I will gladly pay early access, I have always wanted to be able to use a color slider.

True AI

I just confirmed it doesn't. Dynamic CAS Companion doesn't display if you use this version of Color Sliders.

HNicole9182

This seems really cool! Is this compatible with Dynamic CAS Companion by Maru?

yoSMOKE904

does this work if you on apple but on an external ?

leesiee

I will gift you my first born

Tamara Vargas

amazing! will it ever be available for everyone?

EastMilitia

same here! i also had an issue with it not allowing me to use eyebrow sliders anymore

Ahtika Halim

Pure talent and raw creativity. You are amazing for sharing your talent and I am in awe of your work. I will support the hard work as much as I can and for however long. Thank you for stepping up my game and to all your decision that have lead you to this greatness.

tyjokr

I haven't tested on Intel, so I'm honestly not sure. I'm not opposed to extending functionality to Intel macs though. I'd need someone to help test and capture some data for me.

tyjokr

Compatibility with other CAS mods will be worked on this weekend.

NayaMasters

i can't wait for the compatibility bc both mods are must-haves

Roberto Davis-Boles

External hard drive. I run sims 4 from that not my MacBook

tyjokr

I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t work.

KylaJaz

It’s working great once i figured out to make CAS columns load first. Will it eventually work with eyebrows too?

aya 𖦹

I love the redesign! Thank you!

tyjokr

I will fix eyebrows shortly, yes!

Lauren Canul

For anyone having an issue with Color Sliders and More CAS Columns, download the two-tier option priority folder from the link in the post. Place the color sliders files in the SECONDARY folder, and the CAS columns file in the primary. This is how I got both to work.

Desiree

I got them to both show in my game, thank you! Though, the only thing is that I’m not seeing the redesigned sliders anymore. Is it the same for you? I was able to see them if my more cas columns weren’t working.

PJ C

I'm having the exact same issue
