Hey yall. Im having serious freaking trouble retexturing this kind of image because it repeats. I extract the texture in Sims Studio. With Clothing it is easy but with beds , etc? It messed up terribly. Please guide me.

What are you opening this with? Those are the mipmaps, you normally woudn't see them in an image editor.

Photoshop

Well I don't have a Windows photoshop (that would have that Nvidia plugin for DDS) -- can you maybe post a screenshot of your import options? I guess you would need to unselect some option to do with mipmaps. Perhaps a photoshop user who knows that plugin can also tell you what it is off the top of their heads.

I'm using the DDS Plugin for Photoshop. When I first loaded it, it asked if I wanted to generate mipmaps. I should have checked no. Now, Im gonna try to reset the plugin and see if I can NOT generate mipmaps.

I'm doing much better now. Issue was loading mipmaps. Thanks for your help!

You *do* need to generate mipmaps -- you just don't need to edit them one by one since the plugin will automatically create them for you. What you should be seeing is one large texture, you edit that to your liking and when you export, check "generate mipmaps".

If you're using Photoshop with the Nvidia plugins, your import and export settings should look like the screenshots below. When importing you don't need to load MIP maps, but while exporting you need to have the "generate MIP maps" option checked.
