I just uninstalled CAW (I could never really get it to work for me and ended up giving up) but this seems a lot easier. I think I’ll got get it now 😀
hmm. . . this looks interesting . . . I’d love to talk more about it with you jud . . . perhaps its time you got that forum up and running aye 😉 😛 hehe
Grr, it’s not letting me download it 🙁 it says “You must be logged in as an administrator to download” and when I did that, it still gave the message 🙁 maybe it’s still a big bugged, I’ll wait till they officially blog about it to try again.
I just love the tool. It’s pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it. Tip: Be sure to add a background to the pattern to be able to recolor in game as I am having trouble with the color control and not recoloring correctly. There also is a preview option and it allows you to recolor the objects without starting the game. 😀
I got a direct link:

Thank god I love HTML and JS. 😀
Personally this annoying, EA is focusing on an pattern tool when their are serious bugs with the game such as CTD and Processing forever and also annoying me with not updating CAW putting my world Gates Cove on a hold. But i have a theory that tomorrow their could be a big patch coming to Sims. It has been roughly 24 days since AMB came out and EA normally does their big news on Thursday.
When creating a whole pattern for jacket, it leaves white lines across after done with it. It doesn’t look good in CAS because the jacket has all white lines across because of layers. I did try to put each of pattern close to prevent them, but still nothing. How can I remove those? Thanks.
I’m still waiting for them to release a patch Create A World to make it Ambitions compatible!
They are so slow at bug fixing and patching!
I know! You’d figure they’d would of had this out by the time Ambitions were released. Didn’t they say that CAW is the tool they use? Why didn’t they have it planned to fix? 🙁
Meh patterns…. it’s easy enough to do them without an extra tool….. It would be nice if they gave us something that would really benefit the community like CAW did instead of something that we’ve been doing a week after the game was released. Give us an animation tool and it would be gold XD
FIX CAW!!!!!
Never mind because I already got it:) We would have to be patience for a new patch for CAW:) It will be coming out anytime.
Bloody things useless, mine won’t even install.
A patch would alraedy been made by EA at this far don’t you think?
Honestly, I have been using CAW since released, and in Ambitions it simply crash and it’s by now 25 days and they didn’t fixed yet.
But hey, this new tool is as great, for it’s simplicity I say.
I just hope their next patch don’t make this tool stop working forever…
I agree that EA needs to focus on more important issues. I also hope that a new patch will come out soon with even more bug fixes. Let’s see what happens.
I got it installed right though. How do I use it? Where is the tool? Do I need to go to the game? And where in there i find the tool?? Could someone please help me, i cant find it.
I can’t quite seam to get it to work! Does any 1 have advice? I downloaded it but I don’t know where to use it! 🙁 Do you use it in the game? I’m confused! Please help!!!!!!
Its a standalone tool. Install it in a separate location from the game. Be sure to read the necessary readme file on how to use! 🙂
Hey one more comment on a bug that you see another left in the game but this time with the sims 3 Ambitions guada this happens to a heading error code 12 please fix the error soon and is quite annoying that every time are dating errors the game please a producer or creator of this page to make known to the department the sims 3 dcho error and thank you …

If only there was a create a tattoo tool
Thank you Mark for the direct link! I could not get mine to download from the website for some reason.
I really want to download it but when go on to sims3.com and press the download button it says to login then i login and i press it and it does not let me.

@Pengie:

I just downloaded the create-a-pattern tool yesterday and whenever I try to load a pattern that wasn’t one I just made, it quits and says that there is a bug.

Mine installs, and when I allow it to Run, it says this:

@Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (6002)
IE Version: 8.0.6001.19019
…As you can probably guess, I can’t understand very much of it. The last two lines tell me which Service Pack I have (as if I needed reminded what my own computer’s hardware is) and my IE version. (Should I get IE 9? Is it worth it?) The fourth line probably has something to do with the GUI. But I’m no Bill Gates. I’ll probably have my cousin make sense of it, he has more computer smarts. Or maybe my brother. It also can’t be copied, so guess who had to type that bit by bit?…It’s agrivating. If I get a solution, I’ll post it. Until then, I’m going to resume beating my forehead on my keyboard.
Sam B. // I can’t even install it, it says just that what you wrote, expect mine is Windows XP. I think that it isn’t just compatible with newest patch of Sims 3.
Therefore, it is necessary to have the right
driver. Next I simply created a Sim family, and
chose an empty house to have them live in. The little booklet that comes with the game is not worth it, it does not walk you through all the things you can
do in the game.
