Sweet! I don't usually download patterns, but I'm so snagging the Astrological Signs. Written Simlish contains a lot of zodiac sybols you know.  :P

Murray Christmas?  I think your talents extend far past eyecrossing.  You're patterns are amazing, and I love your sense of humour.  You officially slay me, I love it.  (I use to be an elf!) 

You really should let Murray into the swap shop for next Christmas!

@Gheez

Excellent patterns!  I'm messing with CAP myself.  How in the world are you getting a fully recolourable backgrounds?  I've been messing for hours with the square, but even coloring it and the real background layer white turn it pink in game play!  LOL.  So I made myself a white 256x256 square jpg in photoshop & imported that and now I can make white to dark grey.  Color me unamused.  But I am determined!  Any advise for a noob to CAP?

Thanks in advance!

Have you had a chance to check out the tutorial for CAP on the guide?

Yup, was all over that.  Obviously though, there's a way that's been discovered to get the pattern "background" to be adjustable in color.  Not the background itself, of course, but a solid shape on the first layer.  However, even doing that it comes out pink despite being white in CAP and in my install screen.  I get in the game, go into change, say a fabric, and it's a pink background.  The color IS adjustable to a degree, but it's not the correct color (turns kinda orangey when I'm on as red as red can be for example), and it's definitely not white despite having a hex value of 'ffffff'.  More of a horrid littler girl barbie princess plastic pink.

I imported a white square as a new sticker, used that as the base layer above the background, and it was white, but would only change along a grey scale.

Looking again at the tutorial to be sure, and this issue isn't addressed there.  It's a great tutorial, but there are CAP users here making a solid first layer color changeable, and I'd love to know the trick.

Thanks and *hugz!*

I agree that the tutorial on the Guide was really useful.  I also found a conversation between Ausette and Jancy very helpful (on the second page of this thread).

So, like you ladydragon, I created a white square and added it as a sticker.  I add the white square to the bottom layer.  Resize it to 256 x 256. Place it at X128 Y128.  Then click the button (the one next to the one that looks like a rubber or eraser at the bottom of Layers) to change the square to a stencil.  Then change to colour to something else as, clicking the stencil, normally turns my white square to a vivid blue.  Add the other patterns as further layers, save, export, etc.  This then works, in game, like a recolourable background.

Good luck - looking forward to seeing what you create - if you share...hope you share  :)
