You've not really posted in the right forum for this question. I think http://forums.modthesims2.com/forumdisplay.php?f=8 might be better

tex2000dave, which tutorial exactly are you trying to follow? Do you mean that you can't import a texture from the original object to be retextured in a paint program? What exactly are you trying to do, in detail, and what happens when it's not working out? You need to be more specific.

sorry for being in the wrong forum........... i followed echo's tutorial on cloning a table.useing simpe and milkshape "excelent tutorial". i got it right off. but when i was done with the table i tried to open it up in paint pro. that didnt work. so i tried to open it up in a photo shop. that didnt work. maybe its the file format. i dont know. thanks for answering my post.

Can you post a link to that tutorial, because, off the bat, I don't remember seeing a table meshing tutorial by Echo?

You can't open a package file in a paint program, you need to export the texture image, which is a PNG, and open that up in a paint program for editing.
