SCREENSHOTS
Five striking patterns, four separate designs, inspired by art reminiscent of Africa.
The three images below illustrate all five patterns, firstly on a wall, then on clothing.
The colours in these illustrations are those in which they appear in Create-A-Style.
I have also uploaded some images which show a few re-colours.
The patterns are, from left to right, Abstract, Love Africa, Fruit Baskets, Protea (small) and Protea (large)
Pattern information
Abstract
I was inspired to create this pattern by an African headscarf. The pattern elements are of my own choosing.
Re-colourable Channels: 4
Create-a-Style Category: Theme
Pattern created in: The Sims 3 Create-A-Pattern
File format: Sims3Pack
Love Africa
I took a rather uninspiring mosaic pattern, removed much of it to be left with the border pattern, and then inserted silhouette designs that conjure up images of African wildlife

Protea (small)
The Protea cynaroides (King Protea) is one of the National Emblems of South Africa. One was placed in my room when I visited a few years ago, and I have loved these plants ever since.

Install Instructions
Quick Guide:
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.
