    in The Sims (2000)
    ..when you could just make cc using paint XD This whole s4s thing is making me feel crazy. I dont have a single art program that can open .dds files.

    Anyway, while I try and figure out what I'm doing, how is everyone? What's your newest sim/build look like? (im extremely bored feel free to post pictures of anything simmy)

      Gimp 2.

      I've been using it since...well at least since the early Sims 3 days. Its easy and free, just make sure to get the DDS plugin. Works like a charm.

      I prefer it over most other paint/programs in a general sense and theirs lots of community support for it - including Sims modders.

      Hi! If you need help figuring stuff out, I can help you! It's actually easy finding the right programs to make CC for TS4. Here's what you need:

      GIMP - http://www.gimp.org/
      GIMP DDS - https://code.google.com/p/gimp-dds/

      The installation process should be easy. :)

      Best part is they're both free. I hope this helps. If you need anymore help, you can PM me. :)

      Make sure you are installing the correct version of the plugin for the correct version of the Gimp2. There is a 64bit ver and 32bit.

      Its really important, i couldnt figure out why it wasnt working either but then I did a google search for the plugin and found its webpage which has both versions. its an easy fix but annoying if u cant figure it out.

      just make sure to export when u need to save.

      I think I downloaded it before when I was using my sisters laptop because I tried to make a recolor of a hair (it was awful) XD

      Whenever I downloaded Gimp it installed the correct one (64-bit) for me.

      A lot of the CC stuff back in those days sucked, and it was a roll of the dice whether or not it would break your game/mess up your computer. I won't even try CC right now. I know its gotten better, but still.
