Thought's on the Sims 3 Workshop

BlogpostPublished: Jun 15, 2009Views: 175

I'd like to know your thoughts on the new Sims 3 Workshop/tool etc. This is all new to me but since the Sims 3 came out with create-a-style I've absolutely loved it. I've read through the Sims 3 workshop info about the tool and also read through some of the forums but it all seems a little confusing. Plus I don't have photoshop on my laptop yet so untill I get that I'll probably have to hold off. I'd love to know how people are finding it though.

Look forward to reading your thoughts. (About the Sims 3 Workshop that is! :o)

Hi Jennifer $\:\)$ Ok here is what I think of the workshop tool even though I haven't tested it myself I just don't see how anyone will come up with a pattern that looks real! Like real wood and stone textures.  You cannot use real images found on the web to make your patterns like you can with TS2 so that is the downside and was a big turn off to me when I found out.
I have way too much fun finding actual images of textures and patterns on the web to make TS2 walls, floors and terrain paints.  I agree that the design tool is fun and what ever I design I usually save it to use in the future. The patterns are um, hidous! lol. I hope we can get some creators to make some decent looking patterns to upload.
I have Paintshop Pro 7 and am happy with it I just don't want to waste time trying to learn the workshop tool when I don't really like the patterns people are comming up with, it seems imagination is limited lol.
I do give props to TSR for furnishing this tool though..
