Color Sliders
Customize hair, clothing, accessories, and more with Color Sliders, featuring expanded CAS support and redesigned color controls.

Color Sliders by thepancake1, now adopted and maintained by tyjokr, gives players greater freedom to customize their Sims' appearances in Create-a-Sim (CAS). The mod introduces adjustable color sliders that allow you to change the colors of clothing, hairstyles, accessories, and other supported CAS items instead of being restricted to their original swatches.

Using the sliders, players can fine-tune colors by adjusting their hue, making it easier to create personalized shades and coordinate different parts of an outfit. Supported categories include full-body outfits, tops, bottoms, shoes, hairstyles, facial hair, and base layers. Additional categories cover accessories, body hair, hats, head decorations, and more.

Expanded CAS Customization

The newer version introduces support for 101 CAS categories, including 11 additional slots for skin overlays, head tattoos, and horse-related accessories such as saddles, bridles, reins, blankets, hoof colors, manes, tails, forelocks, feathers, and horns.

The redesigned sliders also provide clearer visual feedback by tracking the exact hue selected. Another improvement automatically hides sliders that cannot affect a particular item, creating a cleaner and more convenient CAS experience.

No More Texture Packages

One of the biggest changes in Tyjokr's new version is its redesigned technical system. Unlike the previous version, which required separate converted texture packages for EA clothing and accessories, the new release uses a small native adapter for Windows and macOS to recolor the game's original textures directly.

This removes the need for cloned or overridden texture files and can save more than 20 GB of storage space for players with all available packs installed.

The new version also maintains compatibility with existing Color Slider-enabled custom content and supports More Columns in CAS, provided the mod is installed in the appropriate priority folder.

Original Mod and New Version

With permission from thepancake1, Tyjokr officially adopted Color Sliders on October 29, 2026, and took over its maintenance and development. The creator initially updated the original files before developing a completely rebuilt version with an improved interface and expanded compatibility.

The November 5 release is a beta version, so players should check the creator's announcements for updates and installation instructions.

Installation Requirements and Compatibility

The new version uses a different installation process depending on the operating system. Windows users can install it similarly to other mods, although Windows Smart App Control may interfere with its native adapter. On macOS, the included setup tool must be run before the first use and again after each game patch. Only Apple Silicon Macs are currently supported.

The new release was built for The Sims 4 version 1.129.39, and compatibility with older game versions is not guaranteed.

Color Sliders is an excellent customization tool for players who want more control over their Sims' outfits, hairstyles, accessories, and overall appearance. Its expanded category support and redesigned color controls make creating personalized looks much easier.
