I wanted the focus of this tutorial to be on how to prepare TS4 cc meshes and textures for use in TS3 cc creation, not a walkthrough of clothing conversion from start to finish. You will have to adapt the TS4 textures to fit your edited mesh’s UV-map, re-make any missing textures like masks, grayscale multipliers, speculars and normal maps, and use Mesh Toolkit to assign bones and make morphs. Also remember to rename your mesh as group_base before exporting it to use in TSRW.įrom this point onward, the process for cc-making would be the same as for any TS3 mesh edits or frankenmeshes (covered in other tutorials). You will most likely need to edit the mesh’s UV-map as well to fit TS3′s UV-map, which hermit-fox covers in the tutorial linked above. For very high-poly meshes (10k+), you can lower the poly count in Milkshape using Direct X Tools, or use the Decimate modifier in Blender. Once you have your mesh, you can make your edits to it the same way you would edit any TS3 meshes.

In Milkshape/Blender, import the mesh you converted.Ĩ.

Find the resources tagged as “GEOM”, these are the meshes from high to low detail. Download the Sims 4 CC package you want to convert.ģ. You should be able to run these without having The Sims 4 installed.Ģ. Download Sims 4 Package Editor and Sims 4 CAS Tools. I also assume the reader has some knowledge and experience with cc-creation already before attempting a 4t3 conversion.ġ. This method only works for custom content, not for any content that comes with The Sims 4 base game and expansions. I wrote this with clothing in mind, not sure if it’s different for build and buy objects. I recently figured out how to convert TS4 CC clothing to TS3 and wanted to share my workflow for my fellow TS3 loyalists who want to convert all the pretty things made for TS4, even if they don’t have the game installed.ĭetailed tutorial with pics by hermit-fox here: Ī brief summary below.
