exactly what it says on the tin title! after watching @skittlesplays manually resize hundreds of recolor files on stream (and trying to do it myself...), i decided that the only solution when it comes to editing textures for ts2 was... photoshop! here are 9 photoshop actions geared towards 4t2 conversions, but hey, maybe you could use them for other stuff too 💖
i made these for personal use and have been using them on and off for the last few months, so i suppose you could say they've been sufficiently tested... the actions included aren't final though, i might go back and add a few more as my areas of expertise expand 😅 more info and instructions under the cut, long post warning! 👇🏽
DOWNLOAD: SFS | MF 📄
if you encounter any issues with these actions, please do reach out to me and i'll try my best to help! or if you'd like to add on to them, edit them, etc. in any way, please feel free to 😀
How to Install These Actions
open up photoshop and click on the big 'play' button in the corner. that's the actions tab. then click on the little down arrow and 4 lines in the corner of that subwindow.
select 'load actions' from the list, and navigate to wherever you've installed my .atn file! then that's it, you've got them installed, easy-peasy.
How to Use These Actions (1 at a Time)
open up the texture that you want to edit in photoshop; for this example i'm using a dress i'm 4t2'ing from the throwback fit kit. now it's time to decide which action you're gonna use to make this texture compatible with ts2!
as the texture is 1024 x 2048, i'm gonna use the 'texture clothing: 1024x2048 to 1024x1024' action to downsize it.
ta-da! now it's a reasonable size!
How to Use These Actions (Dozens at a Time)
now for what this set was really made for: editing a ton of textures at a time! just go to file -> automate -> batch...
and navigate to the textures you'd like to batch-edit. here's a few things you should probably keep in mind:
- checking 'include all subfolders' will edit ALL the textures from that filepath onwards.
- if you set your destination as 'save and close' as pictured, all your files will be autosaved after the action has been run.
- so if you don't want to live on the edge, like me, and are afraid of running the wrong action, just open up one of the files you're batch-editing and check which action should be run on it before you do the other files.
and behold! all of my textures have been cut down, and a bunch of my time saved 😎
Examples of Stuff Each Action Can Be Used For
in case you were curious! the first two actions, i mainly use for objects. a lot of ts4 cc creators have their texture sizes set to 2048x2048 or even more, which is way more than (my) ts2 can normally handle. i mean, that much for a candle? geez! so these two actions are used to cut down those textures and not kill your graphics cards.
these are for cas stuff, like clothing, hairs, and accessories. alpha creators tend to have larger texture sizes, but ea's are almost always a cool 1024x2048. just make sure you check before you run the actions!
trim is... i honestly can't remember the last time i used trim, just... if you need it, it's there
the last two actions are for floors and walls! floors are set to autosave as .bmp; walls are up to you. the texture sizes are made to match homecrafter's.
and... that's about it! lol. i know this isn't normally what i post, but i figured that since a lot more people are getting into 4t2 converting recently, these actions might help y'all.
have a great day, have a fun time simming, and keep being awesome guys 😘

photoshop atn, number #01.
This is a action sharpen with noice reducer that can works with almost any kind of photo. I also use this one in screencaps edits that I make, but I always modify to let the sharpen in the way I like it.
The action comes with the modifications that I am used to turn on and off, when I need, so you can adjust!
Like or reblog is it was useful.

one of the tags I see/asks I get the most related to GIF making is “how do you GIF that fast?”
I’m by no means the fastest creator out there & it’s not a speed test anyway, even if it feels like it sometimes. that being said, I’m obsessed with efficiency & my neurospicy brain doesn’t like monotony. if there’s a way to automate what I don’t like so I can skip to the good part, I’ll find it.
there are a bunch of things I do that have streamlined my process over the years, but if I had to choose only one? creating actions.
the moment you find settings you like (sharpening, sizing, etc.), make. an. action. I don’t even want to think about all the hours I wasted before I figured out how to make them.
I created actions for the two GIF sizes I use the most: full size (540x390) & half size, or two GIFs side by side (268x400).
with one click in Photoshop- let me repeat, ONE- the following is immediately applied:
play speed is slowed (makes GIFs look better)
my video is converted to a Smart Object
my video is cropped
my video is resized
my sharpening is added (3 in total)
my noise layer is added
my watermark is added
my subtitle text is added (I still have to add the text, but the text box with the font I use is ready to go)
the adjustment layers I use the most are added, including Curves, Levels, Color Balance, Selective Color, Brightness/Contrast & Vibrance (after my action has run, I’ll manually add coloring presets I’ve already created from previous episodes, shows, etc. & tweak them as needed. no reason to reinvent the wheel)
with all the repetitive work done for me, I can focus on the thing I love most: COLORING 🌈
it’ll take a minute to learn how to create your own actions, but I swear it’ll change your life!

i’ve updated my giffing process (tutorial coming soon i promise lol) so i’ve also updated my previous action pack to reflect those changes! quick shoutout to @redbelles for literally changing my life love u meg you giffing queen
this pack includes two actions for that will take you all the way through sharpening after you’ve cropped and resized and a save action 💜
If you download, please like or reblog. Explanations for each action are under the cut, and as always if you have any questions please let me know!
do not re-upload/claim as your own.
action pack
note: the two sharpen actions operate under the assumption you are cropping with ‘delete cropped pixels’ UNCHECKED and have cropped and resized your file before using them
if this does not apply to you, see my other pack which contains the same sharpen settings but gives you the additional scripts action
i. sharp & sharper: both of these actions are meant to be used directly after you have cropped/resized your image. it converts your frames to a smart object & sharpens them.
iii. save: this action is meant to be used directly after you have finished coloring. it converts all visible layers to a smart object, converts back to frames and then sets timing to 0.05 so that all you have to do is then export the gif.

Sofiims Scenery Photoshop action
Just a quick action I made so I can edit scenery photos faster (even ts3 ones on my blog are edited with it so it works well for it too). What it basically does is color correct so the photos look a bit warmer and pushes the contrast and lights. It also has some sharpening action and noise.
Things to keep in mind:
This was made with Photoshop 2021.
It's an .atn file not a .psd. To install: open photoshop and double click the .atn, it should automatically install where the rest of your actions are; hit play and enjoy!

Draw faster than ever with the lasso tool in Photoshop! Make a selection and it will instantly fill with your foreground color - works equally well with the rectangular and circular selection tools AND works on layers with opacity locks! Get it here: https://kyletwebster.gumroad.com/l/amxeq

✨Shiny✨
This is just a very simple photoshop action to make your sims look slicked up, sweaty, and slathered in baby oil. I wouldn’t recommend it for gameplay pics, but I’m not the boss of you - do what makes you happy 🤷🏾♀️
The psd isn’t merged, so you can adjust the levels to what looks best on your sim’s skin tone.

CuriousB's Any Colour You Like as a Bulk Action for Photoshop
Download via SimFileShare
I made a Photoshop Bulk action that will run all the colour actions in CuriousB's Any Color You Like. This will save you heaps of time when recoloring objects for The Sims! You will need to have that action pack installed for this action to work - download it via this SFS reupload.
Steps for using my Bulk action
Install CuriousB's actions simply by double-clicking the file while Photoshop is open
Install my Bulk action
Create a folder on your desktop called ‘Applying Color Actions’
Put a copy of your base texture in that folder
Open it in Photoshop
Duplicate the base layer, flatten, and save (this makes the Revert option in File menu not be greyed out, which is important for the bulk action to work)
Run my Bulk action
The files will automatically be named in the format
"CuriousB ACYL 1 Adonis" so you can run other actions and the files will not be overwritten.
