Hello! I have been looking around for hours now trying to find the solution to an issue I am having. I am a long time lurker in the sims community but only now have I started to actually venture into modding, I just made my first recolor the other day. Now I am attempting to make something that I have desperately wanted for a long time, a floor pattern to match the sidewalks in Oasis Springs. But for the life of me, I cannot find the texture for this! I have been searching through the S4S program and through tutorials and already created mods and I just can't find it anywhere.

I would assume that a mod like this would have been made already, so does that imply these files are inaccessible for some reason?

I have no idea if this is the right place to be posting about this, but if anyone could point me in a direction or give me some advice I would greatly appreciate it, I apologize if I am asking something obvious, I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to accessing this kind of data. Thank you!

Edit: I would just like to add that I have considered trying to just screenshot the in-game texture and do it that way but, I really want to match it exactly and I'm not sure how I would be able to get an accurate match with the game lighting affecting the color and such?

hi! There's already a mod done by Zerbu. You can check his files and if you want some in particular then check in the warehouse for the intance number of the DST textures. You can then look for them individually on the client files. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Data\Client).

Thank you for your help! The mod by Zerbu wasn't what I was looking for since it was about grass and replacing those textures rather than creating a texture for floors to match the sidewalk tile that is already there. However, I was able to find the texture following your advice and searching through the files in (C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Data\Client), so thank you for pointing me in that direction!

I whipped up a quick recolor and tested it in game, but the color is way off for some reason and difference in texture size presents a problem. I have my work cut out for me but I will try to fiddle with it later, at least I have a starting point now. Thank you!
