Retexturing objects using eyedropper like in TS3?

[SinclairFamily]

Hi again everyone! 

In TS3 I remember being able to retexture pieces of objects using the eyedropper tool to select textures from other world elements (couch cushion textured same as the carpet for example).

I found the design tool in TS4, but so far can only use the pre existing textures from the little selector that pops up. 

Has anyone had any success similar to the eyedropper method from TS3, and if so can you help?

The CASt feature (create a style) is not in the sims 4.
