(and there are many more tutorials hosted on Mod the sims if you just search their forums)ĮXTRACTING SIMS 3 FILE FOR CONVERTING:1. Something to extract rar/zip files but I believe most people have those by defaultĪnd just because I like reading and comparing methods myself here are some other accessory tutorials I've found useful:

(You can grab *cough* free CS5 or CS6 version here*cough*) Image editing software, you need one that can handle DDS files as well as the DDS plugins (but if you've installed SimPE and used it for any kind of texture editing you likely already have those installed). Milkshape obviously and a registeration key for it. Sims 2 base meshes, these aren't necessary but help some (Serenity-Fall has them extracted around half way down the page here, search for line 'you can download TS2 body bases here.') WesHowe's UniMesh plugins for MilkShape (pretty sure most already have them but if you don't now at least install them) These milkshape plugins by WesHowe to be able to import Sims 3 files to Milkshape (yes you'll need these for Sims 4 files too since they don't have their own plugins (yet?)) Sims 4 stuff (if converting from Sims 4): Delphy's Sims 3 Pack Multi-Extracter if your accessory is in Sims3pack format These milkshape plugins by WesHowe to be able to import Sims 3 files to Milkshape Sims 3 stuff (if converting from Sims 3): To prepare you're going to need few things: As an extra I will also show how you can make morphing accessories (morphing in this case meaning that it will move with the face instead of being stuck in one height) This tutorial is split in parts, first we'll go through how to extract files from Sims 3, then go through how to extract files from Sims 4 (custom objects only for both) and then how to create the new mesh file and texture for Sims 2. Hermit_foxIt's tutorial time again! This time we'll take a look at converting accessories, basically the methods I'll go through should theoretically work also for converting stuff from other games but of course each game has it's own ways for extracting the files etc so there's no way I could cover it all so I'll stick with Sims 3 and Sims 4.
