    @ZeeGee, I fixed your link for your Creation Wishlist, and I apologize for the error! 9/10, I miss the "1" at the end when copying from Notepad. :open_mouth: For some reason, I did not check your link (I was trying to update quick, instead of thorough). Thank you so much for pointing that out to me! :kissing_heart:

    If anyone else discovers any errors, please let me know, I will be forever grateful! :kissing_heart:

    @Aaronsims, you had mentioned opening up another thread after judging was done to let everyone know what you still need to fill in your World. For now, you can just put the link to your contest thread on your wishlist for those to get a better idea of what you are looking for, and then you change the link to the new thread. @anette has a thread for her Hidden Springs makeover and a Creation Wishlist (help-me-rebuild-hidden-springs-and-get-gifted & realisem simmyfied especially for Hidden Springs). Perhaps that might give you an idea? Hope that helps! :kissing_heart:

    glad you like it

    I don't even have cap installed on this pc nor the program I made to make the stamps... so I don't think I will do it.
    No worries @anettesb. Once I get my desktop running, I will let my brother have fun creating patterns on the laptop (I will go back down to just a few EPs, because this laptop really chugs)... Quoting someone from Steam, "...play it on my potato (Lagtop)..." Hehehe :p I merely suggested, because you had fun making them, but I really understand that they lag the game too much (would have to uninstall too much to even enjoy them). :kissing_heart:

    Big Pixel Hugs Everyone! <3

    Oh my gosh!! :yum: I love steampunk!!! :heart: My middle son is an Aspie, and one of his favorite things is steampunk, he even listens to a band called Steam Powered Giraffe! :grin: Fun!!
    @gnlovew, I forgot that you had earlier mentioned that your middle son is an Aspie (as is my brother). Going to check out that band now! ;) My brother loves anime and perhaps your son would like Legend of Korra (but I suggest he watch Avatar: The Last Airbender first). I :love: both shows for the aspects of elemental powers/energies that I do so believe are within us all to a certain extent. It is not religious, but has a Universe flow of spiritual energies. The Legend of Korra has a steampunk setting. :kissing_heart:

    Anette, what program did you use? And Mya, if Anette doesn't mind if I use her idea, I'll see if I can make the patterns, although it may take a few days, I'm working on writing a report and need to finish a build that I got half-way through and then got side-tracked on. :)

    that to make the pattern yes
    but first you need to make the stamps... for that I used gimp (not perfect but free)
    I might have a few links to a good toturial or 2

    thank you for understanding @NagyGina



    ok this is about non cc custum art... using cap
    http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/513798/the-simtastic-spring-exhibition-of-art-winners-posted/p1

    carls guide, this is where I started
    http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/info/create-a-pattern.php

    this might also help... though using a stamp like this will make it hard to recolor
    http://psychedelicsim.simgames.net/tutorials/making-basic-seamless-patterns-with-cap/

    this contest have some infor
    http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/344720.page
    and bloodviolet her self had a blog or was it blumurder?
    http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/235932.page


    the important thing to recolor is:
    you only got 4 layers... they each recolor on their own.
    if 1 layer originally have more than 1 color (like the patchwork thing form basegame with flowers and hearts) it isnt 100% recolorbel

    1 like the frog is quite simple as it is only 2 layers

    1 background and 1 with frogs


    to make stamps you must be ablpe to make see true background... if you want them with shapes... so you can layer them...
    it is a bit like working with photoshop

    trieal and erro... many patterens went into game 3 times before they where ok... yet another reason with all the store stuff I have uninstalling after each try would be mayhame...

    hmm this is really hard... most of the toturials a re gone or missing pictures

    •Description: This is a two story house that includes a living room, an office, a game room, 3 bathrooms, a laundry room, a kitchen, 1 master bedroom, 2 children bedrooms, 1 toddler bedroom. It is very spacious, great for a family of 6-8. Furnished- 105,000s/ Unfurnished- 67,000s.
    •Details: It is an expensive home, because I wanted it to look as realistic as possible. No place for a vehicle. It can be easily added though.
    •Is CC, CAP or CAW Used? No. I do have a few CC in my game, I made sure not to use it. No building cheats either.

    @FoxyLovesKitty
    that looks amazing
    I will try and find a sot for it in my HS, and if that dosn't fit, I save it for later remodels. Becouse it is defently what I'm looking for.
    might put it on a 30x40 and expand the yard.... maybe give the kids a tree house, but your right a house like this is easy to tweek a bit when added to the game, aslo makeing it easy to reuse in many saves.

    thank you

    well you playing on low settings... and have it running nicely in your game... makes it a perfect townie home for easy running game... ;)

    @Aaronsims, I have updated your Creation Wishlist date, and I just began a cabin for my free-spirited Sims couple, but I began to do it at 46 Sulfur Springs Rd. (it is a 40x40 lot - just removed the unoccupied home that was there), but if you would prefer me to attempt to downsize to the 25x25 lot on your Creation Wishlist, I shall do my best to try (I am a lover of Nature;s gifts and have difficulties downsizing in that regard - so little space for landscaping). Perhaps I shall create both of them, sort of a before and after living areas for the couple. ;):kissing_heart:
