I have a lot with many roofs and I want to make some green and some red. Is there any cheat or something for this?

Enter a lot.

Go to Build mode.

Go to Roofs in Build Mode.

One of the options there is roof color.

Click on that and choose the color you prefer for that lot's roof.

There are also additional downloadable roof colors and roof textures available at many sites that offer custom content.

As for multiple colors for roofs on the same lot - easily down with flat (tiled) roofs. Any floor tile can be used on those types of roofs. Place one tile and hold down the Shift key while dragging a box over the area of the specific roof you want to fill with that particular tile.

For non-flat roofs, don't offhand know of any mod that allows just one part of a lot's total roofed area to be colored.

Well, It's not what I wanted to say. Well, I don't want to color a roof partially, I want to color it all green, and another roof red, but the roof color option in build mode makes them all the same color.

It's simple, unless you use FLAT floor tile roofs, EVERY roof on the lot MUST be the same color, it's how the game works.

The only thing I can think of that might help you in your quest for a multi-colored roof would be use of CFE.

  • Enter the cheat "boolprop constrainfloorelevation false"
  • Add an extra floor level, complete with walls.
  • Using the Terrain tools, reduce the size one of the walls pieces to 4 clicks high (can't make them any smaller) then use the level tool to make the entire floor that level.
  • Place flat roofs and color them the way you want them.
  • Enter the cheat "boolprop constrainfloorelevation false"
  • Then using the elevation tools, raise the flat roofs into the shape you want.
  • You'll then have to go to each floor level to level them out again.  
  • Enter the cheat "boolprop constrainfloorelevation true"
