After posting in Rflong7's pattern thread, I decided to give this a try...again. I had tried yesterday and will show the first attempt but the second pattern in this thread is my favorite. Sheesh, I learned more about my Photoshop program since yesterday than I have known in years :!: The first pattern is not near what I would like it to be but is a start: Meet Milady's Shoes

Here is pic of default on bed to the left, the same default colors brightened on the wall and a recolor on the bed on the right:


I love a southwestern feel to things, which the next pattern reflects. I am happy with the way it turned out: Meet Kokopelli Dances

Here is a pic of the default colors on the bed to the left and the wall, as well as a recolor on the bed on the right:


Now, I just hope that I inserted all the links right

EDITED to add: I have never had the doll that was attaching itself to files in my game. Anyone thinking of downloading can be sure the files are safe.

Fleur-di-Love has 4 recolorable channels, one of which is the background Here is a pic showing it on multiple items, including a recolor I did:

sorry for the short answer, im in the middle of watching my sims crash :roll:

DOLLDRMS1

Thanks for taking a look drowssap

LOL, I honestly don't expect people to take much notice with all the patterns now being uploaded but I had a good time doing these, which is the most important thing.

Rflong7

Oh, wow! I love the shoes and name- Kokopelli Dances.
Would never have thought of shoes.

I love the Southwest pattern. If I could actually decorate my own house it would be in that style. :shock:

Very nice. :thumbup:

*it's rather fun- Shhh~ don't let EA hear us say that. :shock:

musicmom11

I like them both :thumbup:


both got rec's from me.

DOLLDRMS1

Thanks for the nice comments Rflong7 and musicmom11. I feel so creatively challenged and they are appreicated!

Rflong7, I do believe Kokopelli Dances will work itself into a Mesa Valley residence

lotlot80

I like both.

I think it would look great.

I'm dl it. I like the turquoise and browns.

musicmom11

hey Doll, try using a paint type program and do your own. I bet you would be good at it.

DOLLDRMS1

LOL, you shouldn't have encouraged me, musicmom11. I've now done a third pattern, pic in original post.

BTW, I saw your Baby Jungle in another thread and have come back to dl and rec it. They were all cute but that one just spoke to me.

EDIT to add thanks to lotlot80 for taking the time to comment. Sorry, I missed your post earlier.

Adding Pattern #4 - Meet Motif a la Shamrock. In addition to the pic of the pattern on various objects, there is also one using it for clothing. I just picked a fashion at random, used the pattern on the jacket portion and the hex #'s of the colors for the parts of the fashion.

All layers are recolorable.

Rflong7

Oh, I like the new one too. :thumbup:

Gonna go rec it.

N3mb3r

nicely done

DOLLDRMS1

Thank you both, Rflong7 and N3mb3r. I had taken pics of the other patterns I had done but had not sized them when I posted Motif a la Shamrock. So here they are so the other 3 patterns can also be shown on clothing.

Milady's Shoes (this one also looked really good on nightgowns):

Kokopelli Dances:

Fleur-di-Love:

Now, I'm going to go play my game and put CAP away for a while,

Here is pattern #5 - Deep Honey - 1 recolorable layer wood pattern: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=2577245

This has a little story behind it. This is an original wood pattern that I created in Photoshop about 5 years ago when I was doing recolors for TS2. I slaved over this pattern, lol. It took me about 3 hours before I was happy with the grain and level of detail. I had been missing having this wood available in TS3 but now with CAP I can put it back into game and I'm a happy camper I was sooo happy to find I still had this texture saved on my hard drive.

Thought I would share in case anyone else is on the lookout for a new wood pattern. Below are 2 pics taken at different angles on different objects to give you a better idea of how it behaves in game. In case you want to peek at how TS2 furniture looked with this wood, here is the link to the TS2 download on Mod The Sims http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=76820

You've done some really nice pattern and your wood pattern is exceptionally nice. Keep up the great work.

Your Blue Bear patterns were adorable, so I am flattered that you like my patterns :oops:

I had 2 other wood patterns that I created and used on MTS uploads for TS2 that were popular. If I can find those textures, too, I will also upload them. Have several folders of textures to go through,

I like your shoe pattern, its very nicely done.

Thank you! Your Feettopia is adorable. Congrats on having it featured!

Pattern #6, California Buckeye Burl, is another wood pattern. I wanted an unusual wood to use in game and found CBB to be just the ticket. However, the knots and swirls on all images I found were huge and totally out of scale for the game. Hence, my pattern is created from an image that I heavily modified in Photoshop. The first picture shows the default color on objects. The second and third are recolors I did in game, so here are the hex #'s in case you like either one of them. Pic #2 is hex #653716 and pic #3 is hex number 421707.

Just for giggles I went into CAS and put it on a dress, lol. That's pic #4, obviously. Who knows, you may want your sim to wear a tree!

Pattern #7 is Sea Creature Parade in themed. I created this one for Rflong7's Summer Theme thread. Pattern located here: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=2613869

Pic #1 in child's room; Pic#2 so you can see pattern on 3 different style sofas; Pic #3 quick recolors so you can see all 4 layers are recolorable and Pic #4 to show pattern on a swimsuit. Enjoy!

California Buckeye Burl looks wonderful in the game and personally I think the tree suits the Sims well Very nice indeed.

DOLLDRMS1

Thank you, Hortensis. I'm glad to know someone else is enjoying it as much in game as I am. I hope you noted the 2 addtl. hex #'s I gave in this thread because they work really well as alternative color choices.

LOL, it didn't look all that bad on that dress, did it? Shoot, if you've got Ambitions put it on an eco-friendly sim. Gives new meaning to the words tree-hugger,

I love zodiac signs and my newest pattern depicts the 3 earth signs for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. The pattern's 4 layers are all recolorable. If you want/need such a pattern, it is located here: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=2724299

Pic 1 is default colors on walls and furniture -

Pic 2 is default colors on both a single and double bed -

Pic 3 simply shows all 4 layers recolored -

Pic 4 shows the pattern on the sarong from the store's Life's A Beach swim set -

The wood used on the furniture is my Deep Honey pattern recolored to a lighter shade.

I'm sure this pattern will go perfect in a salon
