This was made pre-1.4. It's likely very different now.
Posting this thread because it took me far too long to figure out the answer. Most texture pack installation guides for tModLoader didn't work for me, so I figured I'd post this to clarify some things and maybe help some people out that were in my shoes. Just follow the steps and, hopefully, your texture pack(s) should work.
1. In your computer files, go to: Documents > My Games > Terraria > ModLoader
*Other guides will tell you to change the config.json file in the Terraria folder, you can but that will only affect vanilla Terraria if I'm not mistaken.
2.a) Find config.json in the ModLoader file, and open it using notepad. Find " "UseExperimentalFeatures": false, " and change it to say " "UseExperimentalFeatures": true, "
2.b) Alternatively, tModLoader has a really cool feature if you, in game, go to Settings and click 'tModLoader' you can set this Experimental Features Function to true without having to mess with the files (nifty, huh).
3. Download whatever Texture Pack you want, but leave it as a .zip file.
4. tModLoader already has a folder labeled "TexturePacks" in the Mod Loader file (see step 1 on how to get there), so don't create a new one here or in the vanilla Terraria files.
5. Cut/Copy and Paste or drag your downloaded .zip texture pack into the "TexturePacks" folder.
6. Make Sure/Rename your texture pack download so that it reads "Texture Pack.zip" Notice the space.
7. Enjoy the new textures
