I Feel The Earth Move

hat_plays_simsOkay, so what happened here is, there are people (Druid, Kativip, and Yuxi) who did an amazing job nicking textures from other games and converting them to Sims 2 as floor tiles.
My problem (it's not a REAL problem) is that I really wanted some of those floor tiles as terrains. They were rocky or grassy or... well, okay, so I downloaded Homecrafter, I played with Photoshop, and I said to myself, "Maybe there's someone else in the world who might want these."
So here we are.
I feel the sky tumblin' down, a-tumblin' down...
I totally did not manage to get pictures of everything, but I got enough pictures for a real good idea. There are 14 floors extracted from World of Warcraft by Druid:
(You get: Blackrock Spire Road, Blood Elf Abandoned, Dalaran Sewer Cobblestones, Elwynn Cobblestone Dock, Elwynn Cobblestone Dock Dirty, Grizzly Hills Pebbly 1, Grizzly Hills Pebbly 2, Hyjal Road, Ironforge Rock Road, Kalidar Road, Maraudon Cave, Maraudon Lush, Nagrand Road, and Winterspring Dirt Road. The above photo does not line up with the above list, because I fail like that.)
14 floors extracted from Oblivion by Yuxi:
(You get Anvil Street 1a, 1b, and 1c, Cheydinhal Cobblestones 1_a, 1_b, 1a, 1b, and 1c, Cobblestones 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d, Exterior Road 1, and Leyawiin Exterior Floor 1a. Again, nothing lines up, but I tried to get the cobblestones that were decaying states of each other together.)
And three floors from Kativip's various and sundry sets:
(You get Kativip LS Left Suburb Floor 1, MS Excavation Floor 1, and MS Farm Floor 1. Excavation is the rocky one.)
And now you, like me, can have fun making garden paths, haystacks, rocky hills, or, you know, whatever.
Okay, general information. I did not make any of these textures. I nicked them from people who nicked them from other video games. I also made them enormous; all of these files have 1024x1024 images in them for the sake of having the terrain paints be the same scale as the floor tiles. (Because I LIKE the scale of the floor tiles, and while giant-ass cobblestones looked kind of alien and neat on the WoW textures, it wasn't what I was aiming for.) Usually my policy for paysites is that thing on the sidebar, which is exactly as legally binding as TSR's Terms of Service, but there are three other creators involved here and these are textures burgled from at least three companies besides EA, so... play it safe, no paysites, okay?
Let me thank Lyn, who made sure I had a working copy of Photoshop, and then we will proceed to the 14.65MB payoff:

Wanna help me feed my cats?
In case you feel like dropping me a buck or two, should you have a buck or two to spare. Donors get two things at the moment: a) a link to the Super Secret Cat Gallery, full of pictures of the cats you'll be feeding, updated sporadically when the cats do something photogenic and I'm fast enough on the trigger to catch it, and b) a link to the list of content I have done-but-not-screencapped, nearly done, partly done, or in the planning stages, and the option to suggest what ought to be in the next batch of things I focus on.
