Default Build DXT is not available in SimPE
I'm having a problem with changing the "Sharp" to none. The textures for the meshes are blurred and could be in better detail. When I right click on a texture image, the build dxt option is grayed out and can't be selected. How can I fix this problem?

I'll add some images just so that you can see what's going on.

I believe that you need to install the Nvidia DDS Utilities. Here's a link:

Thanks! I'll check this out right about now. Do I install all of those?

No. Just the DDS Utilities is needed for SimPE.

Have you told SimPE where to find the utilities? Extras -> Preferences -> System Folders.

Thanks! The problem was solved. The textures are looking way better now.
