Most of the image files for the Sims 3 CAW in the source textures folder are something called .dds, and Graphics Gale can't load that file type. I'm hoping to be able to create a slightly darker version of the "dry grass" for my next world.
Please let me know if you know of any good ( preferably freeware ) art programs that will load that file type so that I can create a modify it.

You can open it with Gimp 2 and save it as a .png or .jpg. The textures don't have to be saved at .dds anymore.
If you feel you have to use .dds, then there's a plugin for Gimp 2 you can add. I don't know where it is because I don't use it any more.

Remember, you don't have to any more. Try the texture as .png and see if you like the results.
