The Bare Bones: Milkshape Bone Assignments and You!

2014-04-26T06:56:50Z

Been meaning to get around to this, but laaaazy. Anyways, this is simple walkthrough/tutorial that will hopefully be useful in explaining bone assignments for TS2 hairs. This will not cover body meshes! That is far too complicated to bone head to toe. (Also forgive me if this sounds like jibbish - it's 2am)

And there you go - one animated hair ready for your simmies~

I hope this was a little bit helpful when assigning bones to long hairs (for hairs that are swishy and bouncy...that's a whoooole another story...).

Greetings! I got a request asking for a TS3 to TS2 Hair Conversion tutorial (though I could've sworn there was one floating around), so here's one. Note that this is the way I do it - you are completely free to do whatever you feel is more comfortable or works better for you! Please note that this is not a tutorial meant for beginners who's never done meshing before! It is recommended that you know some basic meshing before attempting this! That said - on the tutorial!

Things used in this tutorial:
1) Sims3 PE (s3pe) [Link]
2) Milkshape 1.8.5
3) The Sims 2 Bodyshop
4) Adobe Photoshop or any texture editing program

Once bodyshop loads, go looking for your new hair mesh and check that it works. If everything looks good, then go ahead and retexture it however you like! :) And volia~ You're done!

TS3 to TS2 Clothing Conversion Tutorial

2013-07-07T03:06:09Z

Seeing as there is little to none about converting clothes, I decided to make this tutorial. This is a simple compilation of tips and tricks I’ve learned while converting clothes for The Sims 3 to The Sims 2 – keep in mind this is the way I do it, you are free to go about this any way you want, but I hope this helps. :)

A few things that will be covered in this tutorial:

- Converting TS3 clothing meshes to TS2

- Add morphs

- Adding groups to a file

Some things you will need:

- s3pe, which can be downloaded here: http://www.den.simlogical.com/denforum/index.php?board=19.0

- Cmar’s Meshing Toolkit: https://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=481950

- Milkshape 1.8.5 (Note that WesH’s GEOM plug-ins: http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=357403 will not work in older versions!)

- TRWS plugins: http://www.thesimsresource.com/resources/view/category/creating-sims3-meshing/id/95/

- Possibly Delphy’s Multi-package extractor (only if you’re working with sims3packs and not .package files)

- Photoshop or any other advanced paint program.

The mesh I will be converting in this tutorial will be this one: the completely classic women’s suit from the fifth avenue set.
