It will also ask where you want to install the resources. Then looking for the NVIDIA DDS Utilities and/or NVIDIA Texture Tools for Adobe Photoshop. Simple way to to do this is to go to the Apps and Features under Apps in your settings and searching NVIDIA. You may be asked to uninstall any older versions of the plugin on trying to install the newer plugin tools. Make sure Photoshop is closed before trying to install. If you are just wanting to edit Sims 4 textures, you only need the plugin. The NVIDIA Texture Tools Exporter has both a standalone application and the Adobe Photoshop plugin. For example, at time of writing my Photoshop is installed to “F:\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2023”. However, the exact install location can vary.
*Drive is usually C:\, so “C:\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop "year version”\Plug-ins\File Formats". It shows up is the file options bar when as D3D/DDS and should be located in the *“Drive:\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop "year version”\Plug-ins\File Formats" or “Drive:\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop "year version”\Required\Plug-ins\File Formats" depending on where you installed it.
With that noted, it is also a good idea to check if you have the legacy or dds64.8bi file installed in your plugins. The legacy version will run in the newer versions, but is buggy and can cause different issues from crashing to causing artifacts in the texture.
However, if you are using the newer/newest version the NVIDIA Texture Tools Exporter is needed. If your using older Photoshop versions (Photoshop 5.0 to CS6) the legacy plugin is the one you want. For Sims 4, its the NVIDIA plugin, which has both a legacy version and the NVIDIA Texture Tools Exporter. Moving on, in order to edit dds files in Photoshop you need a plugin for the format. If you want more on that mod it’ll be best to check the posts over at the patreon. I will note here, that Sims 4 Studio does have a batch fix for Hairs to update for compatibility for the mod, but not clothing. The mod requires the use of LRLE images to allow for the use of sliders to customize the color of CAS items. Which the Sim 4 Studio does have a batch fix to update makeup files.Ĭontinued under the read more as it got you are using the Color Slider Mod by thepancake1 and MizoreYukii. In my experience, updating theses textures to the 8-bit-per-channel sRGB compression or LRLE images matters more so to makeup and skin details than eyebrows (If there is a notable difference let me know). Though some older cc (pre-Dec 2020 update) maybe using DXT5. The latter being primary for make-up as well as eyebrows and skin details. The Sims 4 uses DXT5 and 8-bit-per-channel sRGB compression for the textures. I thought it might be a good idea to make a tutorial/post covering it. There is probably already something out there explaining this or maybe this falls under self explanatory, but since it admittedly did take a bit to get this sorted myself.
