You can imagine sculpties as being prims twisted and tortured into interesting shapes (they're not, but the image works).  "Normal" textures are for flat/round surfaces so, as you say, produce very odd results when applied to these twisted sculpties.

The solution is to get/make a texture which has been tortured in the same way as the sculptie.  For that you'll either have to experiment (for a long time) with a grid-texture or contact the sculptie-maker.

Bottom line - texturing sculpties isn't easy.
