Default Need help with a Pattern
Dear Sims community,

I need help creating a pattern for the sims 3. I have tried making it seamless but I have not been able to, in fact they are two patterns. Anyway I am gonna add both images here in case anyone might be able to help. One is the Anna French Darcey Damask in blue and the other one is the Schumacher Indian Arbre in Spring.

Thank you very much in advance to everyone reading this.

Image 1 doesn't have enough of the pattern included to be made seamless. What I've done in the past with this kind of thing is to redraw the pattern and make a new one, using some elements from the original. The short version of how to make Image 2 into a seamless pattern is: crop it so that the edges of the image go cleanly through the middles of the motif, and then resize the pattern to a multiple of 256X256 pixels. It's bedtime & I have a headache so I can't do the step-by-step for how to make sure the edges don't create seams through color irregularities etc., but if I'm better tomorrow, I'll try to show it better.
