Im looking to make a frozen lake, or lake with ice in it for my overworld. I couldn't find anything that I could use in the completed resources already(and is actually why I ended up making an account).

Maybe I am doing something wrong, When I save it into the tileset and add it to database, the sizing of individual pieces seem off, and some assets seem to be behind other assets. And is there a way to turn the normal ground color that appears to the snow white? Im new to RPG maker and haven't gotten a grasp on all the tools.

Maybe. Did you create a new Tileset in the System-Tileset Editor..? I find it's often more convenient to copy an existing Tileset, as there are several parameters already in place. Try this... In a new Project, copy the Outside Tileset to an empty slot. Name it 'Ice' or similar. Change the A2 file to the Avery Ice A2 file. Change the A5 file to the Avery Ice A5 file. Change the B file to the Avery Ice B file. Now create a new Map, and Edit it to use the newly-created Ice Tileset. I've just done exactly that, and it works.
In the standard Outside Tileset (and therefore also in this new Ice Tileset...), there are already some Snow Tiles. There are also many free slots for adding snow Tiles from elsewhere, but this would imply editing the Tileset files themselves; feasible, but some find it delicate.
Try the above, and see if it works for you...

I will try what you suggest. All I was doing was saving the .PNG file into the tileset folder and then adding it to an A2 spot in the database for use on the map.

Adding which one to the A2 spot..? Only the A2 one will be appropriate, the A5 won't be good there, nor the B file.

I am confused as well, as I tested the whole set before releasing and had no issues at all. Do you have a screenshot of your map and the database showing how you added the files?
