Create-A-World Textures Megapack

[Martine]

CAW Textures Megapack

This pack contains 43 extracted seamless textures (from both the base game as well as WA), plus a snow texture created by me. Some of these textures are unused in the game, so they're basically new. I will also be converting the new textures to terrain paints soon so you can use them in-game as well.

Anyway, no more ugly shale mountains!

Installation Instructions:

Put the files in Documents > Electronic Arts > Create-A-World Tool > UserToolData > SourceTextures.
In CAW's terrain tab: Terrain Painting Tools > Add Layer > select new file > select appropriate sound > done!

[HystericalParoxysm]

Thread stuck - these are awesome! Martine, would you mind if I added a few textures of my own that I've made to this thread? All based on Maxis textures, just recoloured to match some of the stuff like beach rock.

[Momodoll]

Thanks for taking the time to share these. I've been hoping and hoping for those paving textures. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your snow texture's perfect, too :)

[CTNutmegger]

Thank you, they look perfect and they were very needed!

[bigyipsi]

super great!

thank you very much^^

[Simmiller]

Great job! Thanks :-)

[ingeli]

Thank you!

[cameranutz2]

Wow! Nice work...Thanks!

[Martine]

HP - Thanks for sticky-ing (is that a word?) this thread here! And of course I don't mind if you add textures, the more the better! :)

[simka]

this is great - Thank you both!

[GLachaille]

I was just about to try and extract these to add to CAW but thought.. check MTS first.. and here it is! Thank you sooooo much for taking the time to do this cause my world looks really boring with just 4 terrain paints to use (I haven't installed WA yet).

[ClicknPsycho]

Two Words:

Amazing!

(I never said I could count)

Thank You.

:up: :up:

ps, I couldnt find a thanx button.:(

[Night Racer]

These wont download for me...gives me a 503 error :/

[Martine]

Night Racer - You can also download them here at my blog (http://martinecoppens.blogspot.com/).

[kiwi_tea]

Very, very, very awesome. Thanks guys. These are invaluable.

[HystericalParoxysm]

Okay, here's a few I've made for my own use in my world in progress. Maybe they'll be useful for you guys. The set is made around the colours in the beach rocks you can place in your world - dark, medium, and light grey with a touch of warmer tones.

Three colours of stone, to match the different shades in the beach rock: Dark, medium, and light.

Two colours of dirt, somewhat darker and desaturated from the game's originals: Dark and light.

Two colours of grass, also somewhat darker and desaturated: Dark and detail - the detail version has an alpha.

One colour of sand: darker and made to match more closely the colours of the beach rock.

EDIT: Added all of these as terrain paints you can use on your lots too, so if you use these in CAW you can paint areas of your lots to match. Thanks to Inge and Peter for S3OC/S3PE.


All are clearly named. Use and abuse freely, for whatever, however, I don't care.

[dugong]

Awesome. o: Thanks Martine and HP. Now I can use CAW without feeling so limited.

[Robodl95]

THANK YOU! Yay! I've been dying with the few textures they gave us!

[Srikandi]

Wow, thanks a lot for sharing these :D Should contribute substantially to the quality of the worlds we get!

[jwhin713]

Terrific! Many Thanks.

[ninotchka]

Fantastic, I can't wait to see what others can create using these textures. Thanks Martine and HP!

[Martine]

HP - Thanks for those, the neutral tones will really help to create a more realistic look!

[Petchy]

Thank you very much, guys! Will be really useful :)

[complexman]

thank you

[ceewee60]

THank you Hated the slate

[neuroticpixie]

Thank-you so much! These are wonderful (:

[anneka234b]

Yeay!!!!!!

[StrikerBAY]

Thank you :up:

[richdre]

I have what is probably a dumb question. If I use custom textures and upload the world will the textures be in the upload? Thanks.

[sayyadina]

Thanks, beautiful!

[Gail.wyness]

Thank you, the paving and rock textures are perfect.

[jeromycraig]

Thank you SO much, these are wonderful! Just one quick thing, the default file path for Create-A-World is Program Files/Electronic Arts/etc, not Documents.

[Martine]

I have what is probably a dumb question. If I use custom textures and upload the world will the textures be in the upload? Thanks.

Not a dumb question at all, I haven't tried this yet but I don't think they'll be included. Can someone confirm this?

Thank you SO much, these are wonderful! Just one quick thing, the default file path for Create-A-World is Program Files/Electronic Arts/etc, not Documents.

Well actually there's two SourceTextures folders, one in My Docs and one in Program Files. I don't think it matters much where you put them, I have them in My Docs and they work just fine.

[Srikandi]

Hrm. I've been assuming that custom textures WILL be included in the upload (that is, they'll be visible in the world, not available for players to use as terrain paints). I don't know how else you'd provide the textures to users, since I don't believe they're the same as terrain paint (the image can be the same, but specifying something as a custom texture in CAW doesn't make a corresponding Build Mode terrain paint... does it?).

[HystericalParoxysm]

I do believe they will be included, especially since that kiwi_tea person (hi kiwi!) has shared his neighborhood in progress and I don't recall anyone wailing about it not looking right.

They do NOT automatically create an associated build mode terrain paint though. That you have to do in S3OC but it is -super easy and quick to do-. Like, no real tutorial needed, just use your brain. That's what I did to make the matching in-game terrain paints.

Those paints probably -won't- be included in the sims3pack though, since they're .package files, but easy enough to just include any necessary .package format content separately.

[cabrossette]

thank you! I'm trying to build a neighborhood to post and these will be a huge help!

[kre8tiv1]

This is so awesome but I'm having a bit of a problem. I tried to extract them toMy Documents/Electronic Arts/ CAW/User Tool Data/Source Textures and got this message..."! C:\downloads\games\TS3\MTS_Martine_1043069_CAW_Grass_Textures.zip: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged"

Has anyone else had this problem...or should I download again?

[Martine]

kre8tiv1 - Haven't heard this problem from anyone else. Try to redownload, otherwise I'll upload them at Box as a rar for you.

[water_cat1]

Thanks for these. they are awesome.
edit: nevermind, i had to generate mip maps.

[harkskar]

I'm having an issue with the WA Grass Low texture... It was working fine until I applied HP's Dark Beachrock on the hill tops. It looks as it should in CAW but when in EIG mode it gets very beige. Looks good when zoomed out but not zoomed in.

I didn't have this problem before i put the rock texture on top, but the rock still shows, it's just the grass that turned beige. Anyone knows why/has encountered this problem?

[debra1970p]

Hi, I have a question about medium grass texture in the grass pack. When I paint the terrain in caw, it looks great, but when I go into edit-in-game, and edit a lot, it appears to be solid brown. Any ideas why?
thanks

[jagerjmr]

Hi, I have a question about medium grass texture in the grass pack. When I paint the terrain in caw, it looks great, but when I go into edit-in-game, and edit a lot, it appears to be solid brown.

I ran into this problem (same, I believe, as harksar - above - as well), but when using my own textures rather than Martine's, and I think I may have solved the problem. The three times I had it happen, I was using a custom texture for the base layer. Everything looked OK in CAW, but went horrible in EiG with the "solid brown" result reported above.

What seemed to work for me was to use a standard EA/CAW texture for the base layer, then paint it out almost completely with the custom texture I actually wanted as the base layer (I left a bit of EA grass at the bottom of the ocean, just in case some needed to be in use). Then I was able to successfully overlay further custom textures with no further problems.

I've no idea why this worked, or if it'll work for anyone else, but I've had no further problems since adopting this method.

Hope this helps! :)

[harkskar]

jagerjmr: Your method worked great for me. I just painted a small patch of the standard grass in a hidden corner and now everything looks as it should in EIG!

THANK YOU!

[Onewingedangel]

These r so awesome. Are these usable on resident lots? I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what CAW is... *blush*

[RobertaSim]

Thank you, Martine! :gjob:

[Martine]

Sorry for the late reply guys!

harkskar - I think I've had that issue before, and I believe I've also solved it the way jagerjmr did, hope it works ok for you now!

Onewingedangel - Nope, these aren't terrain paints so you can't use them on residential lots. CAW is the Create-A-World too, here's the link (http://www.thesims3.com/game/tools/world).

[water_cat1]

are these able to be uploaded with the world to the exchange (when they fix it) or just to free sites like here?

[Winterhart]

Thank you so much. I have been disappointed with the limited CAW textures and haven't been able to learn how to make my own. I just downloaded them all. Wow, I have so many new toys to play with tomorrow!

[Nyn]

Thank you :)

[leemer]

For some odd reason when I go to add layer and choose the correct sound, I does nothing for me when I go to paint, I also tried to see the files via add later and I do not even see the files in the folder but, I know they are there , What am I doing wrong?

[leemer]

Oh I see what the problem is now, I had to put them under my document folder instead of program files.

[Mr McPeanut -_-]

Thanks dude helped my heeeaps! :)

[Simsimillian]

I ask you to excuse my n00bness but I've never actually used S3oc or PE before, just looked around in it to go 'ooh :| '... so I can't figure out how to make the CAW texture I just tweaked availiable as terrain paint (it doesn't even show up in CAW, the area surrounding the lot just looks solid brown :(
I can create a texture allright, but how do I get the game to recognise the texture in EIG? :wtf:

ok I think it might be because I have no clue how to set the options when saving the .dds
Can anyone tell me what they are? Like do I need an alpha and should I convert to 16bit? :blink:

[water_cat1]

i created my textures with paint.net. very simple to do, you can save in .dds and CaW recognises it.

after you select the name and the format another window pops up, if you want to make a texture that is small in size but still looks good and an have alpha channels then select DXT5 and tick the 'generate mip maps' box, the rest of that box i am not sure what they do and have not noticed any difference in the image.

[Simsimillian]

thanks, I figured it out though, don't know what happened but the textures did show up after a save or two...

Now what happens is that whenevr I try to save a .TGA file (even without modifying it!), photoshop wonks it up completely. I don't know why so I gave up on that. I thought it might be a help in making the corner sidewalk tile dissapear but it's probably not... :rolleyes:

[EricDMC]

I will Admit that I was only looking for textures and paints with no other intentions. I these are so amazing that I had to drop back by to this post to say great job Martine. I download over 200 textures, and all my faves are yours. keep up the good work, if you make any more please drop me a message!
:up: :up:

[Alan_Gast]

perfect! thanks!

[Sim_Me]

So awesome thanks a bunch! =D

[nivaso]

Thanks, I love your textures!

[familyclifton]

Thank you so much.

[sheilab38]

Thank you so much. I will work on a world now. These are great!

[DaveyDaVinci]

Thank you!

[justcallmeBean]

Thanks so much! These are awesome!!

[PrettyBluLuv]

Thank you, sorry couldn't find the button...

[goligy7]

Martine - when in CAW I try use the WA Pavement parttern how do i make my road look exactly like this ( Steet textures,sidewalktextures etc)

[jenesisdark]

I <3 you! A snow texture! (I was getting brain hurt trying to figure out how to make my own....)

[Dolphin_girl17]

Thank You! These are just what I am looking for!

[tataria]

Thank you so much!

When I first got Sims 3, I was so disappointed to see that there was no option for snow terrain >_< You're a life saver!

[patninde]

Heheh! Thank you so much for these! :D

[murfee]

:lovestruc I love you! The best pack I've seen so far, and I hugely appreciate your hard work :up: cuz really--that shale was absolutely CLASSIC EA ingenuity :rolleyes: wth!?

[LoCatus]

Excellent work.. I came looking for some nice grass textures and found much more. :)

[chelsisb]

These are fantastic! Thanks a million!

Is there any way you could repost these as a .zip, .dds, or .exe?

[HugeLunatic]

Is there any way you could repost these as a .zip, .dds, or .exe?
Whatever you use to unarchive zip will unarchive rar. If for some really bizarre reason they don't, then get either 7zip or winrar, both are free and both handle rar and zip files.

[heaven]

Bakafox is working on a volcanic island and, due to issues with the Gimp plugin, was unable to make black sand personally. I gave it a shot using both the WA Sand Dark and the WA Sand Drifts. After checking with Martine, I am uploading here for anyone else who may have use for black sand. Bakafox did use in CAW and these worked.

[missroxor]

Hope you don't mind me posting this here, please let me know if there's a more appropriate place.

I'm working on a little small mountain town and wanted a smaller, more faded dirt path that could be used as a little track up a mountain so I made a modified opacity.dds file (You can change it from dirt to any other pattern you have). Here's what I came up with, hope it's useful to somebody else. :)

Edit: just realised it looks like its not centered, it is. It's just that I stupidly took a pic of the end that's not actually attached to a path intersection yet :rolleyes:

[nudic2]

Eeeeeh. thankyou. Like Soooo Much. I hated that dumb shale.

[yurmomishawt]

Wheres the file for the snow texture?

[simsample]

Wheres the file for the snow texture?
In the Misc Textures zip- if you click 'View custom content' next to the download file you can see the content of the zip.

[missroxor]

Have just been directed to this thread (http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/181739.page) at the official TS3 site by auntielynds. Lots of very useful textures including links to roads and textures from Bridgeport. :luff:

[JohannaLou]

Hi i have tried this and it works do you think you could change the file type to a png or something, i cant download any of the dds files because i cannot open them, and i cannot find a programme to change them. Thanks

[simsample]

You don't need to open these files, just save them without opening. The game can read them just file.

[Deeney]

Thanks much appreciated

[Moria]

Deeney if you want a free program to play with DDS files then try Paint.Net v3.5.6 from here (http://www.getpaint.net/)

Just make sure when you save as DDS your files are DXT3 (explicit alpha) and make sure you have the Generate mip maps option checked when saving them so that they are in the correct format for SIMS3 and accept the option to "flatten" when the save process completes.

Regards

Moria

[Elle78]

No thank you button, so thanking you in a comment!! I have been playing with CAW and will just *love* using these textures to brighten up my worlds! Thank you so much for creating them and sharing!! :)

[Ekkii]

Hi guys,

Here is mine, it's a rock texture crystals style, I made it for a world I'm making.

1024x1024px seamless,

Tell me what you think.

[Denethor]

Thankyou, spent ages trying to get my mountains to look halfway decent with the standard textures, finally gave up and came here looking for new ones.

[Arachne3003]

Ah, thank you! These are just what I've been needing!

[makibird]

Ah mah gad, I love you!

[Raaaten]

thanks a bunch!

[Kumulus]

Thanks all of you for this work!

[heaven]

The thread from auntilynds (linked by missroxor above) has been updated to include paint and road textures from Appaloosa Plains as well.

[Fimbe]

Thank you. They look natural and good in game

[vampireelf]

Great mod
Helps alot when creating cool landscapes

[james20150]

Thanks, and that EIG Batch tool is the best. Makes life a whole lot better, course thats another thread, time restrains, so I put both thanks here lol.

[simsample]

james20150, that batch file is by a completely different person, they will not see your thanks here. You should post in their thread. :)

[Kathy2012]

Thanks you guys! I feel like the kid that had one crayon and suddenly got the box with 64. :)

[Devildog]

omg your awesome, I'm just starting to get into CAW and attempting to create my own terrain paints....yeah not pretty. Your a lifesaver.

I have not tried these yet Martine ...but from the looks of these files and with all of the fantastic comments about them....I can't wait to check them out. (The ones that come from the game are so ugly, but I'm not saying anything that everyone doesn't already know lols).

Thank you soooooooooooo much for taking the time to create and share these. (they look beautiful) It's greatly appreciated.

Beth

[lovevslust]

Thankyou so much for these! Now it's much more realistic!

[beelzebubble]

i'm hoping someone can help me with this. i've just started playing with create a world since i've only just gotten it to work (had to do a bunch of workarounds).

i downloaded these and put them in the documents folder that was described here. i couldn't find them when i opened the program. so, i then put them into the same named folder, but in programs (not documents).

i'm now thinking that i'm just looking in the wrong place for them. would someone please tell me where i should be able to find these textures and how to use them?

i poked around a bit on this site but i couldn't find anything to help. i'll poke around a bit more to see if i can find anything.

thanks.

[skmt999]

They don't automatically load into each world you open in CAW, you have to load each texture one by one so that you only have as many textures assigned to a world as you want to use. Which is good for those of us with a rather large texture collection.

So, I guess an expanded version of the 'where and how':
The textures go into Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 Create a World Tool > User Tool Data > Source Textures

Start in CAW, and the Terrain tab, and the Paint sub-tab. There's a button called 'add layer'. Click that, and then to browse for the texture you want to use, hit the box with the [...] next to the text field marked "Texture". Point it to the right folders, and the texture you want to add. Tell it what sound effect you want that texture to have, and then hit OK. That texture will be added to the list of textures available to use in the world you have open. Repeat this for as many of the textures as you want to use on that world.

Hope that makes things a little more clear.

it does. thank you! i've wanted to play with caw since it became available. i'm playing on windows now (i was on mac), and am excited to make my own worlds. thanks so much for the help. i got the textures to work. i have other questions, but i'll post them elsewhere :).

[sk fan]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Now I can create snow capped mountains in my world.

[RelenaYuy0zero1]

I just want to double check;
Can I use your textures for my world even if I upload it (for free off course)?

[Sococo.]

just wanted to hop in and say thanks alot! i haven't even got to the terrain painting stage yet but i know i'd have been disappointed if EA had limited us yet again XD. turns out they did. you guys save me! <3 <3 <3

[74gemstone]

These are great, thank you for sharing them!

[bryannam97]

Okay so i have no idea how to work this site because im new and i keep getting confused.! But I came here curious on how to get the turquoise water. Thats really what i want to put in my CaW world. If you could tell me instructions that a not really intellgent-simmer could understand on how to get it, I would owe you soo much!! Please and thank you!

[sakasiru]

I have already painted my world pretty much completely, but now I like the grass from showtime much better that the default green. Is there a way to change only the base green with the new grass without ruining the other textures, and if yes is this then set for anyone who will download the world?

Yes, use the underwater sand texture to have the sea look turquoise. This will only work where the water is shallow though; if you want to make the deep water colour different then you will have to use colour ramps and ini files to change that; see this thread:
http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=459198
Or you could create an override by editing the basegame files:

thankyou somuch!!

[wangabanga]

I don't know what I would do without all of you guys and girls!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

[simsample]

The package files are in-game terrain paints to match the DDS textures. It is the DDS files that you use in CAW.

The first file contains the DDS files, the second the package files.

[Anushka]

Just to say thank you for these, I've been using them a lot and they are perfect! I could not imagine loading CAW without them.

[MayVille]

thanks...it's awesome...

[keroseneheart]

I'm soooo very happy not to have to deal with that horrific default grass anymore!!! YAY!

[alverdine]

Thank you for these, but I can't seem to find the "Dark Dirt" that came with the base game anywhere. Am I blind?

[auntielynds]

I don't think there ever was a Dark Dirt that came with the base caw textures. If you go to your Programs Caw folder, you'll see all the base textures. You can copy and paste any you've missplaced into your Documents Caw folder.

HystericalParoxysm has a set with dirt_dark. It's available for download on post #16 of this thread, and Martine's has a Dirt_Dark_Base

[alverdine]

My bad, I meant it comes as an in-game terrain paint. There is a light dirt and a dark dirt. I'm aiming to use textures that are already in the game so I can match them up on individual lots. I've already got the Light Dirt in my CAW files, but the file listed as Dark Dirt in Martine's pack doesn't seem to be the same one as the in-game one. I would try extracting it myself, but s3oc won't open.

[alverdine]

Ooohh no! Silly me! It is the right texture :lol: . Thanks for your help anyway

[alverdine]

Haha sorry to be a pain. I'm having another problem with the dark dirt -when using a round brush with a low opacity and falloff, all the other textures work and can be blended nicely, the dark dirt seems to have a jagged edge even with low falloff, and the opacity must be set high or it does not work at all, making it impossible to blend. Any idea why this is or how it can be fixed?

[auntielynds]

Where you add your texture in the list effects the way it reacts with the other textures. I like to add them in clusters from either dark to light, or vice-verse, depending on the effect I want.

Example Pallette:
Dark rock
Light Rock
Dark Dirt
Light Dirt
Light Grass
Medium Grass
Dark Grass


Also you can save the texture with a different setting. Most of Martines textures are saved as a DXT5 (Interpolated Alpha) which gives it a more transparent appearance, and it usually blends better. You can do a "save as" in a paint program, I use Paint.net, and save it as a DXT1 (Opaque/1-bit Alpha) and see if that helps.

http://thumbs.modthesims.info/getimage.php?file=1356842

[alverdine]

You're amazing! It has the effect I was after now.
If the texture order has impact on the way they react with each other, is there any way to edit the order, without having to delete existing layers, after you've already started painting?

If you've already started painting, I would just stick with the way it is. I've tried deleting one in the center, then all the textures under it got wonky. It's not that big of deal, it just works a bit better for me, and how I paint. :giggler:

Wow thank you so much, everyone! This makes the terrain on my map look much better than it does with the default textures.
