Purplepaws's Pattern Pack 1
My first pattern pack consists of five fun and useful designs (in two different sizes), all completely seamless and meticulously perfected.

Comfy - Carpet, 1 Channel
Aloha - Theme, 2 Channels
Polkadot - Geometric, 4 Channels
Apples - Theme, 4 Channels
Quilted - Fabric, 1 Channel
You may recognize the first pattern from a carpet set I did for TS2. It's basically the same, just tweaked a little to look better with both light and dark colors using the same grayscale image. And the quilt pattern is actually an EA texture that I grabbed off a bedding from the Teen Style Stuff pack. I had used it as an overlay for all of my own beddings and I thought it would make a good TS3 pattern. The other three I had to make seamless myself and then retrace for the highest quality possible.
I hope you all enjoy these! I had a lot of fun making them. Please stay tuned for another project I have in the works (which actually should be right on the heels of this one), and do feel free to leave feedback. It really makes my day.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
