[0.18.5.0] Texture inconsistencies & coloring issues with various (mostly wooden) furniture items

There’s a few little issues and inconsistencies with the textures used by some furniture items that have slowly accrued over time.

These issues are almost entirely specific to wooden furniture (with the only exception I know of being the corduroy couch set).


Inconsistent Textures in Item Sets

There’s a few item sets where one or more items in the set has mismatched textures:

  • Wooden Bar Table / Wooden Bar Stool
  • Office Shelf (with/without door)
  • Corduroy Couch Pieces (Ottoman still uses old textures)
  • Office Tables (Short, Long, Massive)
  • Short/Long Display Shelf
  • Corner Shelf / Dual Sided Shelf




This is a fairly recent issue for most of the wood furniture sets. This is sort of a rough timeline of events (referring to the textures using their names in the Canvas texture select menu):

  • In ~2020 a huge chunk of wooden furniture in the game was changed to use the ‘Deck’ texture.
    • The corduroy couch set was updated to use the ‘Nightclub Fabric’ texture, but the ottoman was missed.
    • A couple wood furniture items in some item sets were missed and still use their original textures in the current version of the game.
  • In late 2023 / early 2024 most of the wood furniture was changed to use the ‘Smooth Wood’ texture. Some items in specific sets were missed, so they still used ‘Deck’. In hindsight, I probably should have filed a bug report for this earlier.
    • The corduroy couch set was updated again, but the ottoman was missed again.
  • In 0.18.4.0, almost every item that still used the ‘Deck’ texture was changed to use ‘Oak Wood’. No items using ‘Smooth Wood’ were changed.

Oak Wood Texture Base Color

The Oak Wood texture that some items started using in 0.18.4.0 is not actually white. Its base color is beige-ish brown, which pretty severely limits the range of colors you can use on these items.

There’s a texture available for surfaces and canvas primitives called ‘Oak Wood’ that looks identical, but is pure white, which could’ve been used instead.


Wood Items Still Using Old Textures

There’s still a small handful of wooden furniture items using the Deck texture (or similar) which haven’t been updated to use Smooth Wood or Oak Wood yet.

  • Upper Cabinet item set
  • Twin Cabinet
  • Wood Panels/Walls (edges were updated to use Oak Wood, center plank texture was not updated)

Updated most of these to use the Oak texture set, I believe them using it was initially an accident (changes made to their equivalents in the Plaza carrying over to the items) but I think the Oak texture give more pleasing detail.

The Twin Cabinet and Corduroy Couches will take a little more work, however.
