When saved in DTX5 (and below, e.g. DTX1, 2..), here's what the area of my file I'm having issues with looks like:  And in photoshop/PSD:  Any idea how I can fix this? |

Try using .png as the format to export.

I am seconding on using .PNG. Sometimes .DDS can give some weird pixelization due to compression.

Try using .png as the format to export. Do you mean in regards to exporting the texture initially? Because I'd like to try to save what I've been working on if possible :l |

kitty44 No, Mathcope meant that you can save your texture in .PNG format and import it in Studio as .PNG. Studio will convert it to .DDS but it might look much better than the result you got when you exported it from photoshop.

I saved the file as PNG - still looks funny u-u I checked in game to make sure since the saved file itself looked fine. I also seem to lose the transparency under the strings in PNG (it's a guitar recolour if you can't already tell). Thought it might've just been in the preview but that's not the case. Thank you though c: |

Yeah, I've figured out that this is guitar re-texture. What settings did you choose? What program do you use for exporting? PNG-format supports transparency when you choose right settings. My settings when I save .PNG in photoshop via Save As .PNG menu.  |

My settings when I save .PNG in photoshop via Save As .PNG menu. I use photoshop CS5 and CS2. I saved it in CS5 initially as I can't save DDS in CS2, so that is the one I had open. My option for PNG was just interlace and none was preselected. |

I believe you can save in DDS in CS2. I used to work in CS2 when I was creating for The Sims 2 and it required DDS plugin. You just need right version of plugin.
Is your file open right now? Can you save it as PNG and upload here? Or upload PSD so I could save in PNG and check if it's working for you.

kitty44 regarding your .PSD. There was no transparency under the strings that's why there was no transparency in the game I edited alpha and saved as .PNG and new .PSD file so you could see. I might didn't do the best job with strings due to erasing background around such a delicate texture. But I believe that texture should work for you.

I've noticed several parts distorted to look overcoloured too :/ Do you have any other ideas what might help? If not, thank you a lot for all your help regardless. (Just put this on a random Sim who's in progress but likes music lol)  |

Without seeing the file it's difficult to tell. But I didn't work with objects to define the problem if it's something else than a regular texture. So somebody else has to take a look at file.
