I don't know about you, but for me, I prefer to have as many things in my TS2 games as realistic as possible. That's why when I recolor things, especially fabrics, walls, floors and bedding, the materials I use are images of the real deal. There's no AI, or graphics alterations, involved what so ever. I've used photos of my own carpeting, blankets, organic textures and even the sky. What I refuse to do is AI something to death. There is one, and only one, texture that is difficult to take from a photograph, and put it onto a wall. That is Plaster. For whatever reason, every single time I've taken photos of plaster walls (especially ones with a heavy grit to them), they come out either shiny or flat when placed on walls. Go figure.
In this section, you will be able to download almost all of the texture swatches I've used in all of my recolors. Feel free to use/reuse them for whatever you want. I will make a note with a red * mark when textures have intentionally been not kept seamless. All swatches are clearly marked, so you can choose which ones you want to keep when you download them.
Enjoy!
