📋 About This Mod
The Colour Collection is a series of standalone mods providing new colour options for your Old World buildings.
To cycle through the available colour variations of any building, use the 'Change Appearance' key (default is Shift+V).
Adds more colour options for a variety of Old World buildings and ornaments. All new colours are variants to the existing buildings, with the exception of the Marketplace which must be constructed as a new building via the Farmer/City menu.
Tourist Season
Adds colour variations for hotels, cafes, bars, restaurants, tourist piers and bus stops.
Residences is no longer being updated. The latest version 2. 4 can be found in the File Archive.
