Sims 3 user presets

@hunnypooh1  The userpresets file is exactly where these patterns are supposed to be saved.  I've seen plenty of players report that their saved patterns disappear, though; I've always thought that the file itself might be corrupted.  It's also possible that some patterns, like makeup, don't save correctly at all.  It's easy enough to test—pull the file, load a test game, and create a few custom styles in different categories.  Quit and reload to see whether they all still show up.  If they do, the issue was almost certainly your old userpresets.
