I'm experimenting with custom patterns for The Sims 3 since two days and these are the results so far.

Royal Damask (wall and sofa)

Laced Paper Cloth (wall)

And my favourite so far: Coiling Tulips (wall)

I'll upload as soon TSR's tool for making patterns is available. :) Hope you like them!

The new update is the Olivier Set which contains bench, seat, book & cup, picture, pillow with towel, pillow, sculpture, vase, woodfloor and paneling. The speciality is the decoration slots on the bench and one on the set where you can put clutter on. The two pillow versions fit exactly four times on the bench. Recolors to follow.

Additionally, the Bobbley Chair has been set free for four weeks. The set Birch Tree Seasons is free till May 28. :)

Happy simming!

I have to have a break from all the tree-meshing. ;) So I started with this little set. It's still a 3D render, nothing imported yet.

Now here are the bamboo sets. One for Seasons and the other one for Base game as usual. :) The features:

• Seasons compatible set: The bamboo change their appearance with seasons and weather + two recolors
  
• Base Game compatible set: Two recolors to mimic seasons + two other recolors
  
• Correct display in neighborhood view (like the Maxis trees)
• Repository technique: You only have to recolor the BASE birch to have recolors for all birches
  
• Low-poly

Happy simming. :)

Accidentally the SFH Stove wasn't properly recolorable. I'd like to ask you to reload it again if you wish to use recolors for this stove. My biggest thanks goes to Numenor who has rescued me out of misery (once again *blush*). I've set the stove free for four weeks. All free items for four weeks are:

• SFH Stove
• SFH Table
• SFH Chair
• SFH Woodbasket

You need to download them individually. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'm very sorry that the IR Office Table Lamp wasn't recolorable until today. Fortunately there is DOT! Yay! She helped me to make the lamp recolorable. Thank you DOT. :) I've made a couple of recolors to be published today. Important:

You need to reload the IR Office Table Lamp mesh in order to use the recolors.

Again, sorry for these inconveniences. :(

EA has made a clarification on Artist Rights. Read about it HERE or below.

Hi everyone,
Over the past several months, we’ve received questions about the End User License Agreement (EULA) that is in our games for The Sims 2 regarding custom content. Below is a statement from our Sims team. While there is no change to our End User License Agreement, we hope this clears up any confusion you might have regarding the EULA.
Thanks,
-MaxoidDrea

The Sims celebrates creativity, humor, and community. We strive to provide players with tools that enable them to customize and personalize their game experience. We are proud that so many of The Sims and The Sims 2 players create their own art for the games and share it with others. Sharing art online is a hobby that involves an investment of time, energy and money. Whether players choose to share their original artistic creations with the community is up to them: some custom content creators design work for a fee; some host their works on sites that organize, store and serve an enormous amount of content for subscribers; some artists request donations; and some artists allow all players to download their creations for free. These artists set their own terms for how they want to share their talents with the community at large. Those terms should be respected by other players.

To celebrate this, I've unlocked the Mondrian Livingroom for one week. :)

Best regards,
Murano
