Default My create a pattern patterns all suddenly have a line running through them.
I have added a LOT of create a pattern patterns to my Sims 3 game and haven't had an issues. The other day I added a few new patterns and when I went into my game, all the patterns, new and old, had a white line running through. I saved the game using "save as", cleared all my caches, ran Delphy's dashboard and restarted my computer. No luck. I'm not sure what to try next. The only reason I play Sims3 is because of Create-a-Pattern. I love creating patterns and the ones in the game are sooo ugly. Some of my patterns that I had already put in the game are okay, but trying to use the same pattern now results in the line. Some patterns I already had in the game are now showing with the line. Some that were okay yesterday now have the line.

I'll try inserting some photo links so you can see what I mean. https://ibb.co/jPhkmkTZ

Hopefully that works. One is a screenshot of thumbnails in the Misc category and the other is a comparison of a bathmat with the standard pattern next to one of my dark green patterns.

Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!

I deleted the new Create-a-Pattern files and the problem seems to have resolved. Now I need to try adding them back one at a time and see if there is one in particular that was causing the problem.

Sure, if I can figure out the one that is causing the problem. I looked at the package files in S3PE but they all seemed fine from what I could tell.

Double check the parameters for the format you are saving in (especially if DDS or TGA); and check the actual size of your files, some programs behave strangely if height and width are not exactly what they want.
