export overlay in tsr workshop
deleted pic, but not frame
inserted cropped new pic
merge down to 1 layer
flatten image

Hi Wise Owl!

It looks like you actually removed the frame bits from the texture. Textures are actually quite important since they show exactly what the object should look like:


Now, imagine this textured mushroom in a sims game, if we decided to remove the bottom bits of the mushroom in our texture/IMG file, then in game, you'd only see the upper part of the mushroom, the rest would be transparent. Thus, a flying mushroom head! So it's always good to keep all existing bits in a texture, especially paintings.

Core of the issue

But, I noticed that all the other textures are deleted (multiplier, specular, mask) except for the overlay. Now, the overlay is of course the texture you'd be editing, but all the other ones are just as important! So it's never really a good practise to remove all textures except for the one you need. So if you remove the multiplier texture, you're actually removing the frame here. So always keep every texture except for the overlay.

Here's a great tutorial on how to succesfully make paintings: https://simpulse.tumblr.com/post/17...tsrw-a-tutorial

I also noticed that the original texture is a bit more sharp and non-blurry at all compared to yours, do you happen to use a compressor or something? Because there is actually a big significant difference, I added a before after so you can see:

Before:



After:

no i just used gimp and tsr workshop only. i may need to resize image first was 3000x1688 i scaled it down lost quality. i work on it next few days then reattach updated pics and package. i did not touch mask at all don't know how they got deleted

Hi there!

Allright! It's also okay to attach the images to a new reply, makes it a little easier for people with the same problem to see your process! In case you're wondering how to switch from a regular reply to the advanced mode where you can attach images, just simply click "Go Advanced" and there you go!
