I love them! And now I want to make my own, too.
Thank you!

Thank you.

I'd be happy to help if you have any questions about using CAP. :D

Unfortunately, I can't download CAP yet because I can't register my game. Thank you though!

Ah, I seem to remember you mentioning that before. Another one of those niggling little things. Sorry.

Love the kitties. I'd kill for real life fabric with those cuties on it.

I'd like that too - large scatter cushions would be great :D

I love the PatternCooler website. I spent more than an hour there last night, just playing with colors and patterns. So much fun. :)

It's great, isn't it? So easy to download the swatches too and add them to CAP. The only difficult part, at least for me, is deciding on which colours to use. :D

There's a tartan creator site as well. Um, you might call that 'plaid'. I used that last year when I was creating a lot of patterns and sharing them on Carl & Pam's Sims 3 Forum.

The Tartan Designer: http://www.tartanmaker.com/?page=index#Zm9yZT05ZGFlMjksMiw5OTk5OTksMixmZmZmZmYsOCxFMEIxQjEsNCxlNTZkNWQsNjtsPTE7dD0wOw==

There's also another site that looks interesting: http://www.colourlovers.com/ but I've only had a quick look at it and have no idea how you download any creations.

Oh that's fun! The tartan one. Yeah, we call it plaid.

The other site looks cool too. I was just using a pattern creator there, but when I wanted to download, it said I had to register and I didn't feel like it right now.

It looks like you can add color if you can save the pattern.

I'd played a little but also hit that 'register' bit and just couldn't be bothered at the time. May do that.

When I was creating lots of patterns, I was trawling the copyright /royalty free clipart sites and then just making my own in CAP. It's odd though, some patterns I really like at the time I create them and then hate them afterwards. I'm convinced I'm doolally at times.

I do find it enjoyable, creating and colouring the patterns though, lol.

I may play a bit later.

(My mood has been up and down recently, hence my inability to play anything for long, but I'm sure I'm getting the better of this depression now. Hope so at least. Thanks for all your comments and the sharing of your frustrations, helps a lot.)

EDIT:
Registered, created, coloured and managed to download a pattern as a .png and it works. Apparently, I also managed to find a colour that no-one else had before and got to name it, lol.
