Hi, does anyone know any tool (or way) that can convert DDS files into PNGs and the other way around?

I've been looking forward to repairing the CC icon hider mod, but I need to be able to modify the DST Images.

I can't open them in Paint.NET without errors and the external tools I've found change the colours in the PNGs to very weird RGB which then cannot be converted to DDS (because then the changed colours stay and in game the interface looks like a bunch of blue/gray rectangles)

I'm never sure about linking to tools or programs that are not directly related to Studio on these forums but there is a program called Sims 4 Image Viewer by TeameeVo that will allow you to find and extract the required DDS textures as a single PNG. You will then need to use CmarNYC's UI Texture Squasher to seperate the edited PNG back into two seperate DDS textures in order to put it back into the game.

Download my mods at MTS.

I remember that it was possible and I've already done this like a year ago, but for my life I couldn't remember how Thankfully Cmarnyc's tool allows me to work with DDSs both ways, so that's nice
