A very creative and useful idea! Thanks!
I hope your surgery is not hurting you so much anymore and you´ll probably think of entering your grannys old farm in the next contest. That sounds like fun!

Wow, yes, very useful indeed. I stayed away from using the stone floors outside as it just didn't seem natural enough to me. Now I know why! These will definitly will be used in my game.

Also, very excited that you're going to tackle some of the stuff pack clothing! Are the H&M men's jeans on your list?

Yay, this is such a good idea. I can't wait to start using these - just last night I was frustrated with the terrain paints! Maybe the surgery left you slightly psychic?

I hope you feel better soon.

This is really cool, and I agree that there should be more terrain paint for landscaping. I can't wait to see them in game. Thanks so much for taking the time to do these. Hope to see more clothes from you too :D

Thank you so much! I also get annoyed by the straight edges by using stone & wood floor tiles outside. I end up using the cut stump edgers on everything, lol. You are brilliant to have found this solution!

While I'm commenting: I was playing your Patio Villa lot all day yesterday. I've been using the Nana series houses on Twikki Island, for owned vacation houses. (I just remove the driveways)
The Patio Villa house is especially appropriate to Twikii's eternal summer. My Sims had a great honeymoon there. :D
I came here today actually to comment on the Patio Villa & the Nana series, because I'm loving them so much in play.
I use a lot of your stuff in my game: I love the cartoony Maxis style, but not so much the fugly, lol. It is high time I thanked you for all you've done to improve that! (lol, I do always click the Thanks for you, but I've never commented)

I hope you recover quickly from the surgery!

Ya don't think this is creative?! I've been wanting something like this for a while now. So in my book you're a creative genious They look great! Thank you! I hope you're recovery goes well. I remember when I had mine done. Felt pretty good after I came to, but after everything wore off and I couldn't eat what I wanted, no fun Feel better soon!

When I saw this upload, I thought to myself, "I thought Phaenoh did creative stuff. Not Maxis flooring." And then I saw these. Wonderful! Gorgeous! I thought I didn't need any more flooring, but you have just proved me wrong!

Thank you sooooo much for your 20 Maxis tiles as floor paint! They are just what I needed because I have Pets and hate having my Sims clean up "puddles" from the doggies left on floor tile every day. Now they just have to pick some weeds every now and then! And I don't have to look at plain grass! Your creativity and ingenuity are greatly appreciated!!!!

So I just got up from yet another nap and I find that they have been approved and commented on by so many! Thank you everyone!

Updated on healing: The place where they cut is healing all right, but I think the dentist nicked my right cheek, so that is all swollen and possibly infected too (imagine biting the inside of your cheek). My mom sometimes forgets that I have to have food before my pain meds so I've been awfully nauseous lately. Thats no fun. I've also got the worst headache I've ever had in my life for the last two days, I thought it might be a reaction to the meds, but mom called the pharmacist/dentist/dunnowho and they said its often because the patient is clenching their teeth causing muscle tension. I think they might be right on that, so I tried to sleep without doing that. Headache isn't nearly as bad as it was this morning. On the positive side, I'm not feeling nearly as dizzy when I stand up! (That was from jaw being so swollen it was affecting my balance in my ears)

Thanks again for your kind words everyone!

Glad to hear you are feeling better!

Update: Played with them in-game, and they're gorgeous! You are right, there is a HUGE difference between floor tiles and terrain paints. But they look great.

Thank God it's been a long time coming, and i'm gald it came from you. thanks

my personal life can be supported by veiwing this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n2z-Q6x6eU and others on my youtube page. I believe there's a few building tutorials there aswell. I create rather sporadically, so excuse me if I'm gone from this website for months or years at a time.

What a great idea!! These are items truly lacking in the game. They will be VERY useful and I love the more relaxed, homey look that the terrain paints will provide. Kudlos and Thanks!!

Thank you, thank you so much!

All my houses (literally ALL of them) have the same dirt terrain walkway because the floor terrains always bug me when I try to use them. It makes for boring walkways.

It's a brilliant solution to the problem, thank you so much!!!
