Posted by ad27 on Aug 23, 2009• Creating Sims 3 Patterns Easily
INTRODUCTION
This simple step by step guide will help you to create Sims 3 patterns! You dont even need any knowledge about editing graphics or Photoshop! If you already have a pattern you would like to use, I reccommend that it have equal proportions (256x256 pixels is optimal).
Requirements:
- TSR Workshop, available here: http://www.thesimsresource.com/programs/details/title/TSR%20Workshop%20Public%20Beta/id/112/
- Photoshop or another graphics editing program (I use Photoshop Elements 7.0, but you could use similar programs)
- A design you want to put into the Sims!
Step 1
Open up the image you're using for a pattern, in Photoshop. It should have three main colours at most. For this tutorial, im using a camo texture.
Once you've loaded it up, were going to change the colors around.
Step 2
Now, we need to select the areas that have the same colour. To do this, choose the Magic Wand Tool (the 7th tool from the top). Make sure the settings are: the selection mode= Add To Selection; and the Tolerance should be set to around 12. The less distinct the colors are, the lower the tollerance should be.
Step 3
Once you finish the settings, start clicking on one of the main colors in the template. For example, I'm going to start with brown. So I would click on every brown space. If you notice that some of the other colours are being selected, set the tolerance lower.
