Okay, I´m getting near it. I took a png-File with a ruler to the part where the graphic for the countertop is loaded to measure, how much of the texture is really used for the top. It is sometimes not the whole graphic, that´s why they are not seamless. When I resize my seamless wood texture to the visible (measured) countertop area - yay - seamless. Seems to be a stupid way, but it looks a bit better now. Is there an easier way? I tried to find something helpful in Blender - no way, this program is way too much. I´ve found nothing helpful but destructed the mesh in seconds.

I don´t have Blender, and after playing with all layers and settings I painted some shadows by myself. Doesn´t look to bad, but has to be reworked. Now I´m having problems with the countertop. All my wood textures are seamless. I saved them as patterns to check their behaviour in a 8000x8000 image. But when I place the counters ingame, they are not seamless. I´m not sure what is the best way to bind in the new texture. The picture in my first posting shows 4 different rectangles were the counter texture is used ingame (end, normal,countertopsides and corners). I can: - cutout all 4 rectangles into new layers and use the new texture as a pattern for them. - copy the new texture four times and resize them to the size of the four spots - copy the texture on a new layer and delete everything else than the four spots - fill the whole png with the patterntexture
Which one is the best way to create seamless countertops? I´m not sure if I was wrong in one step, but my seamless textures went tileable every damned time. I have recolored a lot of objects in Sims2 and created hockey jerseys in NHL2004 (LOL, I´m old), but this is killing me.
Maybe I´ll install blender and have a look into the mesh if I can find something helpful. But I´m honest, right know I´m not sure if I ever will have these kitchens (Atelier and Phoenix) looking similar. Sure is that it doesn´t work the way I thought it would do.
But thanks for your answers.

Hello, I´m really new to the recoloring things. I want to change some counters to new colors. But I have a small problem. When i extract the texture, there are (when the counters are made good) some shadows for handles and those things. Just for not being looking so plain. But when I want to recolor it and use an other texture, how can I have the shadows on the new texture? I´m using a wood pattern in photoshop. A light original texture can be multiplicated with the new one and I can see the shadows. But a darker one won´t work, it darkens the new texture too when I´m trying to multiplicate the layers. What do I have to do to get the shadows like these imgur.com/okedL5N to a new texture without changing it´s color? Multiplicate doesn´t seem to enough or right.

After running the batchfix for the tubs three tubs of mine remained unfixed: - SimC Modernism Tub (https://simcredibledesigns.com/don/4/modernism.html) - SimC Suddenly classic tub (https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-objects-furnishing-plumbing-showerstubs/title/suddenly-classic-tub/id/1316649/) - Shino KCR Loft Tub (https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-objects-furnishing-plumbing-showerstubs/title/loft-bathroom--bathtub/id/1316890/)
Seems like all of them have slots, maybe the problem is there? They still disappear when placing. They weren´t merged

I have many more and did it. Just open your game and search all your bathtubs. Then copy them out of your downloads.Now you know what files to change. Or you can wait for a fix. Your decision. I didn´t want to wait and it took less than an hour. And I have many tubs...

I know we shall wait until this mod will be updated with all needed language files, but how often will there be updates? I´m waiting impatiently for the german translation. Just started fresh with Sims4 with the release of the new addon, and wasn´t aware that you can´t control your cats and dogs. Your mod saved me from uninstalling it again and having lost a lot of money
