so I'm just want to test around and whenever I try to import a dds file it gives me this  I have a feeling its because of my dds format since when I export a default floor and import it back it works fine. the problem I suppose is I can't find the same format in the tutorial anyone can help?  |

You should be use Dxt 1 for opaque and Dxt 5 for transparency. Hm, in my PS it looks different. 🤔
Ah, now I have read it. My designations are outdated, Dxt5 became BC3. So you will have to take the format.

Hi. It says the problem is with the image size. Export the original image, check the size, make sure yours is the same

The sims 4 doesn't support BC7 dds file type, those are from direct 11, the dds files used are ranged until 10. So change the compression type to BC1/3/5 depending on your needs. If the image has an alpha channel (or transparency if you're not separating stuff) you should use BC5 with interpolated alpha (that has a lot of compression btw). Didn't know about that tool you're using, maybe only for cuda software, I used a intel exporter that do a great job with Dx5 compression.

did you use the custom content filter on build mode? Something tells me that you created a swatch for one of the default floors.
