I was a bit disappointed that there was no plain swatch on the slip n slide that came with Backyard Stuff. The existing textures are very bright, and while they are great for kids, they are a bit too childish for every possible situation. I really wanted an outdoorsy recolour that would be suitable for an adventure course in Granite Falls, where I might send a group of teens or young adults on a summer camping holiday!
I wanted something that looked like tarpaulin, like maybe the Sims had improvised a slip n slide out of whatever materials were lay around. So I made the dark green and black version. Then I got carried away and made lots of different recolours, some brighter than others, some with or without a border. As I was removing the surface pattern from the texture I tried to preserve the wrinkled texture of the material underneath. I merged out the texture by hand, rather than just painting out the pattern with a block of flat colour.
And I also made it into an inventory item! So you can take it anywhere and use it off-lots.

Yes! This is awesome! As soon as I looked at the slip n slide, I wondered where the plain colors were!

It’s odd because they’ve been so good at adding plain swatches lately.

Do you have to have the Backyard stuff pack to get this because I downloaded it and I can’t find it when I go intro build mode?

Yes, you’ll need Backyard Stuff as it uses the animations etc.
