#ts3pattern

Hey Guys! I know there are tutorials out there, (I've read most of them I think) but does anyone know an alternate way to make patterns that doesn't shrink the image down to 256x256? I love the castability of TS3, it's my favorite feature of the game, but the low resolution of the patterns KILLS ME! I have several stone/wood patterns that I would like to make, but I need to retain the color of them and would like to have them look... better. Any suggestions?

The only other thing I could think of would be to make walls/floors instead of patterns for the interior/exterior look I need, and then just use the patterns for furniture pieces and such. But that's doing everything three times over for the same material... *ponders life decisions*

An example of one of the stone pieces I'd like to make, so the post doesn't get lost.

New patterns! I couldn’t fit all of the pictures here but you can find them all at MY STUDIO (there are plaids and others as well, I don’t know why it’s not showing all of the pics ugh!).

HAI!

SO recently I learned how to make patterns which is exciting for me. The orange ones are inspired by @panosita Who loooves orange and is always encouraging me as I try to learn new things for this game!

A few things: 

These ARE seamless!

These ARE NOT Recolorble!

Told y’all it was gonna be a long night! Here’s a whole bunch of patterns that I created tonight. I put them all into these cauldrons and baskets [Thank you murfeel!] that I use in almost every lot I play. They won’t look good on walls and such, but I love the way they came out for these! 

@murfeelee - [credit for the spice baskets - these have their own textures that I use often, too] Thank you!

Edit: So apparently something went wrong when I was uploading these and some of the links got merged together. All of these are correct links now, but I have all of the ones listed below [except for the metal ones] listed on my page in zip files, and they have photos to go with them. Sorry for the inconvenience y’all!

PATTERNS... Finally! I used ATS3′s cauldron from HERE, and Sim-Man’s bucket of glitter (retextured with a metal material to look like a cauldron) HERE .

I set up some examples on how I’ve been using them to give y’all an idea. All the packages are in these zip files below and include photos.

Hey y’all! So I finally started working on my patterns [starting new!] and decided that I needed some food textures for my favorite cauldron from ATS3! I’ve wanted to do this for forever but didn’t want a bunch of sims3packs cluttering up my launcher from CAP patterns. So, I figured out how to do it in package format! Here’s my first one [it’s going to be a long night because I already have a folder full of ideas lol] and I went ahead and did a jam texture. To my surprise, it also works very well for liquids. I’ve got melted gold and silver, and a variety of jams out of this one pattern. [Hello jam shop and blacksmith]

Credits: [None of these objects are mine] Thank you Sandy for your cauldron, and Ktar for your tutorial!

Enjoy! Download

Some more photos of how I used the patterns. The last post wouldn’t let me upload them all. These are the big cauldrons, the smaller ones seem to fit the texture a little better and has a bit of a rounded surface instead of flat, so it gives it a 3D effect that I like. Murfs baskets again, and I used OMSP on the ATS3 cauldron and put it inside the big one since its not recolorable.
