Since I was recently tagged on making CC in milkshape, I figured I'd copy and paste what I know from my other blog, rather than just forwarding the page here for ease of viewing. It’s the FAQ page for creating CC under the read more.

What do you use to make mods?

S3PE is used to export snippets of the code to edit to make tuning mods. If you wanna make some yourself, HERE is the tutorial to learn how.

What do you use to make objects/clothing/hair?

This one has a few answers depending on what you mean specifically.

TSRW mainly for cloning and editing objects. It also lets me export the files in simpack and package formats.

If you want the version of TSRW BEFORE the sims 4 versions, you can get that HERE. This is important to note because some other programs used for CC creation aren’t fully compatible with the newer version of the TSRW’s WSO files.

If it’s an object that needs a fourth channel added, but it isn’t supported, Texture tweaker by Ignes Jones is what gives the object that channel to work with.

For meshing I use milkshape, and I’m currently working on learning how to use blender instead, since it’s freeware and has a lot more that can be done with it. However, it seems like the plugins from TSRW no longer work with blender, but there are plugins to have blender import geoms HERE that are best used with blender version 2.8-2.9.

There are some additional plugins for Milkshape that makes working in it much easier. There is an align normals plugin set by Demon 432 HERE, and the Unimesh plugins by Wes Howe found HERE. Lastly, to make UV editing easier in Milkshape there’s the CatofEvilGenius UV plugin HERE. They also have a UV flipper too.

For editing textures I personally use Photoshop and here’s how to add DDS usage to it with a link already there in it to download the necessary files. If you use Gimp instead, you can get the DDS files for it HERE. Installation should be similar to PS’s, just look for the file formats.

HERE is a link to the faces and scalps for when I need to model hair or jewelry, since doing it right on the head is much easier. Teens and elders aren’t in here because they aren’t that much different from the adult head.

Is that everything you use?

No there’s also:

Delphy’s Dashboard – Used to make sure my package files aren’t corrupt and won’t make sims implode. It’s also good for checking if anything you already have may be corrupted (a lot of it out there sadly is through no fault of the creator. It just happens during creation sometimes)

S3OC – Another program that lets you clone files, save unlike TSRW it can clone interaction objects, like toothbrushes, game controllers, bowls, plates, and other things that only appear for certain situations. The downside is everything mostly appears in strings with few images, but most of the names make sense for the items. Just sort by name and get to scrollin.

Compressorizer – This compresses simpack and package files in order to help keep the game running smooth. Due to some of its functions, remember to back up your CC and games before using the program.

MeshToolKit – This one is indispensable for creating custom content if you’re adjusting meshes just a bit, or using it to give completely new weight assignments (what makes it move and work like a sim body part) and morphs (the thin to thick range, pregnancies included). Thornowl also made an updated version that can be downloaded HERE.

Normal/Bump map plugins – They’re necessary for any CC you make, as most art programs don’t natively have the ability to make them. Now there are a couple different sets you can download and use depending on your art program of choice.

You can get the ones for GIMP HERE, with the link to the downloads on that page.

The ones for Photoshop can be gotten HERE, and this is a mediafire link because I personally had difficulty using NVIDIA’s newer exporter

And I THINK that’s everything, if I think of or get asked anything else I’ll edit this as needed.

Pumpkin Moon. It was built for Cape Albacore collab world. It's on 50x50 sized lot. I rarely built on such a big lot, so this time I had opportunity to go wild with terrain sculping.

It uses most expansions, but University and Seasons are the most important. Pumpkins came in Seasons.

It's to download as package here, or as simpack on the exchange. More pictures behind the cut.

...

Floorplan

Living and dining space

Kitchen, weird symmetrical thing

Home gym

Bathroom and wardrobe

Now up to the second floor. There's hall with reading nook.

and now bedrooms, the main one, jungle themed:

romantic one:

art deco one I guess:

and tropical one:

Green bathroom + laundry. There was also another bathroom on this floor, but I don't have screenshot.

Basement

Porch

There's also this barn kind of building, but it's empty inside. Only one wall lamp is inside, so that would be end.

Thanks for watching!

Frio Family

The Frio Family.

I have made them into package files where i can, for some reason Astrid and Kiara weren't changing files so they have their .simpack files instead. Also for Skylar i only have her .sim file so she will not come with her cc so can be used as a base or you can recreate her.

I would love to see what this family get up to in your games so if you use them i'd love to see screenshots of their lives.

I do NOT own any of the CC used on these sims. Credits go to all creators.

Skylar (.sim)

Connor (.Package/.sim3pack)

Kiara (.Sim3pack)

Astrid (.Sim3pack)

Devin (.package/.sim3pack)

Please do not claim as your own!!

Sim Dump!

During my personal gameplay i had a generation with an excessive amount of children and they game out pretty unique so i decided to share.

Please don’t change any genetics or claim as your own. If you use them i’d love it if you tag me.

Downloads under the cut. Contains a .sim file for no cc and a .simpack for with cc. Only the first outfit has been set, all packs were installed and most of the cc hair is from @poisonfireleafs

Lol hi! I think I intended to but got distracted, it seems I had the cleaned SimPack all set to go just needed to sort out the list of CC. I will eventually make a proper post on my website but for now I am just gonna link the download! It includes the file plus a document that lists the required cc (with links). 😁

Creating a Monster with Simpack: The Saga Continues

http://blogs.3ds.com/simulia/creating-monster-simpack-saga-continues/

[chojrak-making-things]

Plum Grove. This is the second house for Cape Albacore collab. At the beginning I built it on first claimed lot, but it didn't fit it that well, so I had to change a few things and place of course.

This one has much warmer interiors than previous one. More vintage and cozy. It uses most expansion packs and few stuff packs, but ambitions, pets and supernatural the most I would say.

It's to download as package here, or as simpack on the exchange. It's on 50x50 sized lot, so it's bigger caliber. More pictures behind the cut.

...

Floorplan

At the entry there's small area with stairs and arches to kitchen and living room.

Kitchen

Living and dining space

Hobby room with pet bed

There's also guest bedroom downstairs, but I forgot to take a picture.

So now upstairs. Quite massive hallway, with even more archways.

Green bedroom for teenager and bathroom next to it.

Main bedroom

Blue bedroom. It has fireplace, but it's barely seen here.

Plum wagon and doggo house (I should've made more purple)

At the front of the lot there's also decorative stand with goods from the farm, and welcoming sign. I doubt sims can sell goods on home lot, but it gives more welcoming character. It was supposed to be house for some traditional business, handmade, crafters, etc.

and cozy view from the porch at the end

Thanks for watching!

Isla Aguilar V2

Added some more lots to Isla Aguilar so I could move some other sims in if I want to. It now has twelve total which should keep me busy for a generation or two. Here’s the simpack for that in case anyone wants it. Note that you cannot have the original version and this version installed at the same time.

Tokyosou: A Tokyo inspired Japanese World - by KiearaPhoenix

A Tokyo inspired world inspired by various cities/towns around Japan.

The central main section I hope gives the feel of downtown Tokyo.

Westside has a small section that is a blend of Kyoto and the Meguro river area.

to the south is a port that is inspired by Yokohama,

to the East is a small mountain village section that was inspired by Yamanose. (If you ever played Shenmue, it is the village that Ryo Hazuki lives)

====Tokyosou: Unfurnished/Empty: 12 Townie Homes: 37 Commerical Lots: 41 Empty lots: 7 ====Packs and Stuff Need: -All simpacks except supernatural - Free Chinese New Year Set -all other packages included (I checked all packages I used with Sims Dashboard by Delphy) ====Suggested: -Sims 3 Fast Lane for a few items (hospital and rockabilly club) -Teppanyaki: https://store.thesims3.com/productDetail.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:57590 (a few areas i.e. restaurant district) -Deliciously Indulgent Bakery: https://store.thesims3.com/setsProductDetails.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:72332 (hospital, bakery underneath a couple of apartments)

NORWAY FIXED

Hello, my loves, I hope all of you had an amazing Christmas and got spoiled with a lot of presents! As I noticed, some of you, had some major issues with my recently released world Norway. Because of that, I reexported the world without the lots, which made a street all the way up to the stable lots. They seemed to make the problem.
