This is a Maxis Recolour which means that it is a recolour of an item that already exists in your game. Please check the Expansion pack requirements to see which game pack it recolours.

This custom content if it is not clothing, may require a seperate download to work properly. This is available at Colour Enable Package (CEP) by Numenor.

This is my first upload, hopefully this is done right. Here goes.

This is a set of recolours for the maxis phones. There is no colour on the phone, and I haven't figured out why yet, so if anyone knows why, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll keep trying to figure it out and when I do, post a new version.

These are pastels, I'll likely do a more vibrant set another day, its just I couldn't take that boring beige base any longer.

Enjoy and comment please!


--Thanks to some so wonderfully helpful, I now know why the phones do not change colour. So, here are the instructions.

1. Place phone.
2. With the design tool, choose the handset ( if you need to, have a sim use the phone. )
3. Pick colour desired.

With this option, you can mix and match if you want. And now that I know why things weren't working, I will definately be doing more recolours of phones (and other things, but I'm still mastering image placements and such.

Glad everyone likes it. As I said, I'm going to try and figure out why the phone didn't recolour with the base. I'd prefer them to match.

Go go into buy mode and click on the design tool . Then click on phone not the base. It should then let you pick what color you want your phone to be.

Oh - okay! The recolours are there then. I recoloured the whole file.

I'll get a new image and then edit for the instructions!

Thank you, thank you. It baffles me that the original phone comes in one boring color. This fixes the problem quite well.
