I used to have quite a lot of Photoskinned clothing in my Downloads folder, but since finding GoS and the LJ/DW Sims community, I've been really won over by hand-drawn and more Maxis-Match clothing textures.

I also really envy hair retexturers, and those who can texture clothing from scratch - I just cannot draw, and especially not with a mouse! Objects are much easier to retexture - far more straight lines!

Oh, and what goes wrong when you try to use colour actions - maybe I can help somehow?
