Try listening closely to the patterns, and if you're stepping a clear melody, try practicing stepping with pitch relevance.

Then take the time, and do it. No one wants to play shit files.

Well, you also have to know there is a timing issue with the step editor in sm4. This is why I never use sm4. (However, he uses a cvs version. I am unsure if it's fixed in there or not but, synchronization is practically impossible due to an annoying bug where the timing offset of the notes is changed every so often. During testing, editing, etc.) I highly recommended owen use sm5 to make them but that doesn't solve the problem for him. He would have to resync it in sm4 which is a pain as is. (it will just go out of sync anyway.) He/ddrfan prefer sm4 so, I cannot change there minds on using another version.

But, I would like to make sure everyone knows this above. *IT'S NOT RECOMMENDED TO MAKE SIMFILES WITH SM4. IT'S BUGGED AND CAN CAUSE SYNC ISSUES.*

So, the fact that your grammar isn't horrendous (besides the cringe inducing uses of the phrases "Two A" and "Three A") in 1000BPM SPREAD TEST leads me to jump to the conclusion that you are either a troll or someone who doesn't listen at all. The audio in that song is proof that you are physically capable of forming coherent sentences. You definitely speak English on a day to day basis, meaning there is no reason for you to be posting so terribly. The audio makes it seem that you have gone through puberty as well, meaning you are old enough to know somewhat proper grammar. It takes a matter of seconds to proofread a post for comprehensive value. The fact that we have constantly been berating you about grammar and how to post and you still choose not to listen leads me to the assumption that you are actually a troll.

Now some comments about the pack.
Again in 1000BPM SPREAD TEST you say "I'm gunna put some really fast index stream here now" but what I saw was random notes in a row at 250. Not adding jumps to a stream does not make it "Index stream". Not adding double steps and actually thinking about the stream does that.

Other than that, your files for the most part are offsync. Fix that.

I used to be you when it came to simfiles, releasing what I made even knowing the files were pretty horrendous. My advice is that if your files are offsync/badly stepped/bad song choice/bad in general, no one will want to play them and you furthermore will not be taken seriously as a step artist (however you probably have a problem getting taken seriously on forums off the bat). If you don't have files anyone will enjoy, its honestly better for everyone (including you, this is harsh criticism, probably not that fun to take. I know the feeling all too well in the stepmania community) not to release your files at all. I still find charm in my files, but that is because they are MY files. I doubt there is anyone out there who likes anything I've made (besides the 2 Minute Jack and Xepher Speedbucket, which are utter garbage).

Your main issue however is the sync. While the flow in your charts for the most part is stupid, it isn't the main issue. I really don't feel like explaining the subtleties of stepfile syncing however, so I will just leave you with this. http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm This should help your files tremendously, given they are single bpm. You honestly can't play your files with assist tick on and think they are ok...

Wildfireskunk's files weren't that bad, just kinda boring...

Lol, BarX has played a lot of older ones from a while back on SMO.eu. Honestly, he has improved since then, though it really isn't saying much as Owen still has a while to go before getting to be what you would call passable. Just my 2¢.

(Oh yeah, I should probably mention for those who don't know/remember me - I live with BarX so thats why I can back what he says )
