@CK213 "Blurry" is not the same thing as "smooth" or "lacking detail"...
@JoAnne65 Yep, pretty much :)
Uh, when you blur something, basically making it out of focus, you lose detail and it looks smooth.
The end result comes across as blurry looking. The evidence is in the game, not in talk.
When I say I use TS4 textures when I want a smooth look, it means something with a subtle texture.
Take a nicely detailed wood panel into Photoshop and add a blur filter to it until the wood grain details are lost and you will get something that looks like this TS4 wood panel-hence, blurry.

I have 3 carpet textures here:
Right: TS2 converted texture
Middle TS4 base game carpet
Left: TS4 Dinning out carpet.
The TS2 texture is nice and sharp. The Base Game TS4 texture is truly lacking detail and doesn't even come across as carpet to me.
I like the Dinning out texture and it shows an effort to bring more detail to textures.

Be looking closer, things do look a little blurred with no sense of actual fibers.

The TS2 texture is more detailed.

The grey chair is a CC chair I added to the game because it has a better sense of fabric textures than the orange furniture that has the barest suggestion of being fabric.
