Adding Logos to Clothing - A Beginners Tutorial

This tutorial is a beginner's guide to changing the logos and graphics on Sims 3 clothing using the TSR Workshop and Adobe Photoshop with the DDS plugin. I will only be explaining the steps I use to accomplish this task. If you wish to learn more about the TSR Workshop as it pertains to clothing, I would highly recommend that you read through Sinastra's "In Depth Clothing Re-Texturing Tutorial for the TSR Workshop" as she goes into much more detail about all the different tabs and what they mean. I will be describing only the exact steps I use in this process, but this is a good start for the beginner to learn to create some simple custom clothing.

Begin at the beginning

Our first step is, of course, to open the TSR Workshop. You will start by clicking "Create New Project". This will bring up a new window, we will click on "clothing" and then click "next".

Choosing clothing item to clone.

The next window to appear will show us a tree view on the left with the different ages, sex and categories of clothing to choose from. For this tutorial, I will be using the girls tee with a rainbow graphic on it. As the stencils are already enabled on it, it is a good place for the beginner to start. So first click on child, then female and then everyday and scroll down until you find this shirt, if you wish to follow this tutorial exactly.

Your Project Details

In this step you will create your project name, the title for your item, a description and most importantly a unique identifier. You MUST change the unique identifier so the new item you create does not override the original item!! Do not use the default!! It's a good idea to try and make the name unique as the Sims 3 launcher will not install an item if it has the same name as something already installed. I like to add my name or initials to the project name and identifier. Once you have filled in all the information, click "next" in the bottom right corner. A new window will pop up called "Finished". Just click "OK" in the bottom right corner.

Preparing to Export

The next window to open up shows the clothing item we chose for our project and all the information pertaining to it. For this tutorial, I will not be making any changes to the shirt other than the graphic on the front and the colors of the shirt. So, first select the "Texture" tab at the top, then highlight the "Stencil A". Highlighting this will make the small box with three dots appear to the right. Click on this box.

Exporting the Image

A new window will pop up with the original image. We are now ready to export this image and make it our own. Click on the "Export" button. **The Import button located directly below the export button is what you will click to import your texture back into the workshop**

Saving the Image

Now save the image somewhere it is easy to find. I like to save directly to my desktop, but you can save it wherever it is easiest for you. Don't bother changing the name, just click save. We are now ready to edit the image in Adobe Photoshop. I just leave the TSR Workshop running while I edit the image.

On Aug 7, 2009 kittyispretty69 wrote: | Unpublish| Delete: You can add graphics to clothing that do not have stencils to begin with by enabling stencils for that clothing item. I only chose one with stencils already on the item so it would be easier for the beginner, as you would have the original stencil as a guide to place your new one.

If you look in the forums or at tutorials to create patterns and see what other programs people are using to create the patterns, that will tell you what other programs you could use because patterns are also saved in the DDS format.

On Aug 12, 2009 styphon wrote: | Unpublish| Delete: Hyprekia: Your welcome. It took me ages to figure that one out Kitty: I've found a decent size I can work with through trial and error. 768x768 seems to work well. The next problem I have is every time I import the image there's a redish grey border around the image. Any ideas?
On Aug 12, 2009 kittyispretty69 wrote: | Unpublish| Delete: Styphon, I see what you mean with the size, but the size you should be using is 1024x1024. That may solve your second problem with the border around your image as well.
On Aug 12, 2009 kittyispretty69 wrote: | Unpublish| Delete: Oh, and Styphon, I noticed the image exported from that item of clothing does not include the alpha channel so you must add the alpha channel to that image.

On Aug 14, 2009 poundingheart wrote: | Unpublish| Delete: Hello, Great Tutorial, written so even this dummy can understand. Well Done I have a question though, in step Editing the image, u say to delete the background which I do. Then I go ahead do the alpha channel etc and that works fine. Further on u say to Flatten image u 1st click on background in Layers but I dont have a background just Layer 1. and if I flatten image the background doesnt go white only the logo is white, am I doing something wrong? I know this is a silly question but I was just wondering. cheers
On Aug 14, 2009 kittyispretty69 wrote: | Unpublish| Delete: twitunes- If you are having trouble with the DDS plugin, please try reinstalling it. Breezy08-Adobe Photoshop is not a free program. If you purchased the program and are having problems installing, you will need the contact Adobe. MemoryBullet- If your new graphic is only showing up in the shape of the original stencil you exported, than you have not altered the original alpha channel. You need to remake the alpha channel and copy and paste it over the original alpha channel. poundingheart- It sounds like you are doing it correctly, but of course without standing over your shoulder and watching you I can't know for sure. Clicking on Layer 1 is fine, then flatten the image, but the graphic should stay the same and the background should become white. Is your graphic on a transparent background?

I've finished all 20 except the last two, I'm half way through Castle Malloy and I'm getting the newest one for my birthday in a few weeks. Jennifer_R-I am only assuming, but I would guess it would work. I am running an older version of Photoshop (7), so I would guess a newer version would just be better. Hopefully someone will post who knows for sure.

Do i need to put the disk in or something? i want to give my best friend his quicksilver hoodie but there aren't any hoodies but there are in the game...also when i tried to put a picture on the black male teen t-shirt the it showed up in PSP as a tiny red rectangle...why? shouldn't it have been black and bigger? Thanks again i can't wait to try again
On Aug 23, 2009 kittyispretty69 wrote: | Unpublish| Delete: If your new image is in the shape of the original stencil, the alpha channel has not been altered. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make the changes in paintshop as I always use photoshop. Look in the patterns forum as you also use the alpha channel for patterns and I'm sure it is explained how to make an alpha channel in paintshop.

I've exported them to sims3packs and installed them into the game, but I can't find them in the game. What could I've have done wrong? I've used photoshop 5 to make the dds logo files.

I had a little bit of confusion as some things didn't match up with how Photoshop and the plug-in were working on my computer (namely in creating the alpha channel), but within a minutes I made my first creation! I think part of the confusion for others might involve software version. I used CS4, and it was relatively easy to figure out (though I learned I need to edit the stencil image a bit more next time to prevent some of it from disappearing in the alpha... But a shirt was made, and it's passable, especially for a first attempt, so I'm happy with it). Thanks again!

On Oct 22, 2009 kitriana wrote: | Unpublish| Delete: Alright, Great tutorial love the step by step, however I ran into a few problems while following it. Brightness/Contrast just didnt work for me, (prolly would if I clicked a trillion times) so instead I chose Hue/Saturation and slided the Lightness bar all the way to the right! works like a charm. Secondly I found it easier to add a new layer below the stencil when creating the alpha layer and coloring that black instead my stencil was a bit flimsy! and 3 but not least I got all confused in the end, when you're talking about importing you say "Start by clicking the "Import" button located directly under the "Export" button" I assumed you meant under file (cus I had closed the window) wich didnt work! so instead I just clicked around for a while, eventually comming to the conclusion it would be worth a shot to click "..." out of stencil A, and there it was - Import. Otherwise Great Tutorial! just wanted to let you know what little blondes like me gets confused about

If the alpha is an interesting shape you can still make brilliant designs - for instance a shirt that was once Obama's face, filled in green with a Teletubby on. Cute.

On Aug 30, 2010 baileywll wrote: | Unpublish| Delete: Thanks for this tutorial got me making tee's with stencils on in no time. I actually found it even easier as I didn't have to worry about the alpha channel at all, either the new version of workshop is better or maybe the images I used for the new stencils make it easier. I used png images which I had made using the various magic selectors in graphics programs to make them with transparent backgrounds. I found that all I needed to do was export the existing stencil on a tee shirt (as per the tutorial), it actually exports it in dds format, then open the dds in my graphics program (I used Gimp) and added a new layer as per the tutorial, then opened my png image and pasted it into the new layer, resized it and moved it to where I wanted it using the existing stencil for positioning. Then I just deleted the original (background layer) and saved the new dds as per the tutorial. Didn't need to do anything with the alpha or any channel. Then just imported in as the new stencil and it worked fine. I used gimp by the way. As far as graphics programs go, Photoshop elements doesn't support channels really so you will have trouble with alpha channels if that's what you need to do. Paint net is not that good with channels either, the best and it's free is Gimp (there are loads of links on this site to where you can get Gimp. Regarding putting stencils/images on the back of a tee shirt, the stencil is actually sized at 1024x1024 pixels and this covers the whole of the sims body, so you just need to select the right place to put your image, or if you want them front and back, images. I found the easiest way to sort out where they should be placed is to export one of the tee shirt stencils via the edit stencil option, (choose one that covers most of the tee shirt), and following more or less the tutorial just create a new layer and draw a grid over it in red and purple rather than import an image, colouring a few squares so you know where you are, delete the original layer, save it as the new dds and then import it into workshop as the new stencil. You will then see the tee shirt with a coloured grid instead of a picture. You can then use this to position your images. Hope this is useful, I have some screen shots showing what I mean but don't know if I can put them on with a comment on this site. can always mail them if anyone needs them.

Earlier in the tutorial you said we should delete the background, but now I don't have a background which I need to select when Flatten the Image. I've kept on trying and ended up with THIS result: [IMG]http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x358/NikkiCornelisse/Fault.png[/IMG]
