    in The Sims 3 Builders
    This is where I want carpet, but no edges or finish, need to make it better.

    Add your outer flooring

    Add stone tiles with two edge border, I put one in the middle so you can see

    now add stone tiles with one edge

      wow Smoky thanks, I had no clue this was in the patch (coloring the edges) and sure could have used this on our team build we just finished :roll: But now I will keep this in mind for the next time...thanks again :wink:

      TnT it wasn't in the patch we have always had those stone tiles.... I just thought I could cas those and thats what happened, honest it is the simplest and easiest of thing.

      Useful pot of things you might use socal? I have used it a lot, and I thought when Fidlers challenge came back what can I offer as a little pressy for him opening, and so I made a little tut out of this this...

      I am now trying to work out how to turn it into a story. sigh..... this is not easy.

      no I meant the ability to color the outer edge of floor tiles being in the patch lol :wink: but this is a fantastc little tut\trick I will make big use of, so thanks :wink:

      Smoky, I saw your post over on Fid's new thread, so I had to come and leave a comment. This is so simple, but so darn clever!!! Leave it to you to come up with a fabulous new trick to use in our builds. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Only thing I can tell you about making it into a story is just break it up into the tiniest, simplest steps you can without it becoming too stretched out. Don't know if that makes any sense! Good luck with the story. :wink:

      See...I still forget sometimes that CAS is CRAZY versitile! I would have never thought of that! I am so glad you did and decided to share!! I still for some reason think that if I am placing stone tile, I have to stay IN the rock and stone category when recoloring! LOL Maybe I will write "Experiment With Diff CAStyle Categories!" on a sticky note and put it on my monitor! LOL

      Hey guys! Thank you for all the nice comments. Its just casing honest... and like Yahtzami wrote , it wasn't till I realised that stone tiles didn't have to stay stone... but could become something else that this was possible. Tiny sideways step outside the box is all!

      SmokyTopaz, thanks so much for this! It was the necessary idea that helped me to create my own tatami mats/flooring. I'm most grateful.
