When I first learned how to recolor and texture I read in one of the tutorials that we should merge all layers in Photoshop before saving the DDS file. But as I went on with textures I didn't merge them, I just saved it with the layers I wanted visible, and the others invisible. I didn't think it made any difference, and the file size was the same, so I thought PS would just ignore the invisible layers and save it just like it would it I had flatened the image. But sometimes I experience an intense quality loss from my PS image to the DDS image, to the point where holes and "noise" appears in it, even though DDS is a quite large file format. Then I tried merging the layers and holes disappeared, although I still didn't think the quality inside S4S improved much. So my question is, does merging all layers have anything to do with higher quality images? What is your method?

Thank you for the tut! I followed it to make something I had given up on trying and it worked like magic.

Hm, I gues this is what's happening to me. My counters look shiny as hell, no matter what I do to the specular. But I imagine this must be the price to pay for them to have an even-looking lighting, as opposed to different shades of light that appear in objects next to one another, such as drapes, right?

Sims 4 - Tie Dye Mattresses15 swatches, not all pictured, 5 with each sheet color: magenta-red, light grey and black I ended up separating the mattress myself at the last minute, just so another file wouldn't be needed. It's tested, working fine. It's cloned off of the Cordelia bed, so it should have all 10 scores. #bedding #bedroom #mattress #rocker #comfort

This is all so sad :/ I've been playing Sims since it came out and sometimes I feel like I don't recognize the game anymore. Those news by Honeywell made real sense, I didn't know about that stuff. We get the patches and it's like they're finishing the game up as we play it, and breaking all CC in the process. It's simply shameful of EA to do something like this.

I'd like to know too. I'm trying to find these lines in a counter package, but it seems S4S has changed since.

I'm working on a counter texture right now, and so they have two sets of images. As I go with the "add swatch", it copies both textures and seems to add them up in the warehouse. I only wish to change the first image, and the second one can stay the same for all of the swatches. Is there a way I can link these textures to the same DST image, so it doesn't fatten the file up for nothing?

I don't have much experience with this, but have you tried using alpha for it?
