TS3: Facial Expressions Converted From The Sims Medieval

This is a mod that replaces The Sims 3's set of facial idle animations with their (slightly tweaked by myself) The Sims Medieval counterparts, resulting in subtler, more natural facial expressions. 🙂

More info, full previews and download under the cut!

This little package is one I've had in my personal folder for quite a while, but recently I got back to working on it to fix a couple issues and make some small adjustments before putting it out there.

The mod replaces 15 (out of a total of 20) facial expressions for Sims aged teen and up with their equivalents from Medieval. The 5 remaining expressions are left intact because they are identical in both games. These facial expressions are those that Sims make when idle depending on their mood; the expressions they make during interactions, socials, etc. are unaffected by this mod.

Though the facial expressions in TSM are far from perfect, the artists definitely learned a few lessons from TS3. TSM's facial expressions have reduced clipping and noticeably less distortion of the Sim's facial features, which means we can bid goodbye to Sims' eyelashes clipping through their eyebrows, noses scrunched up to oblivion, and humanly impossible facial contortions. Your mileage may vary, of course, depending on each particular Sim's facial slider combo; you will likely see more distorted animations on more distorted faces.

See a full in-game comparison of the vanilla vs. replaced facial expressions + notes here!

Now, on to the slight tweaks mentioned earlier:

By default, all facial expressions have a full blinking animation and a "noblink" pose. The TSM animations had some sort of blinking, but the Sim's eyes didn't actually close for some reason, so I took care of that for every facial expression this mod touches to bring them more in line with the few remaining TS3 ones.

The Sad 1 animation originally looked quite awkward around the lips, with the bottom corners being pulled out while the rest of the mouth was shut; I pulled those corners back up to make the facial expression a little more bearable to look at.

Moreover, from the beginning I thought the Sad expression would fit the angry mood better, so I've also made an alternate version of the mod that swaps around some expressions. In the alternate version, TSM's Sad will replace TS3's Angry 1 (untouched by the main version; not pictured in the previews,) TSM's Sad 1 will replace TS3's Sad, and TS3's Sad 1 will remain the same as vanilla.

Compatibility

Both versions of this mod have slightly different sets of replacements for a_expression_ and a_expressions_ CLIP resources, and will conflict with any other mod that replaces these resources.

This mod is technically compatible with other mods that alter different resources in order to change the frequency of, or entirely disable, the facial expressions, such as Esmeralda's No making stupid faces when idle. Of course, if you used that mod, then you'd never see the facial expressions this one has to offer. 😉

Download: SFS

Choose either the main version or the alternate version. Place the .package in your usual Packages folder or in your Overrides folder.

POSING TUTORIAL: NATURAL POSES

Hewwoo!! Welcome to posing tips & tricks with Bee vol. 2! (You can find the first one here [x] ) This time, I gathered up some tips for natural looking poses. Let’s go!

1. Shoulders

Do you see the difference between this and this?

Yes, I can see that too. The Clavicle points make all the difference my friends. They are your friends, they are nice, they are good for you. So please use them. Let’s start over, step by step:

2. Spine

Bend the spine gradually. That’s all. (At least it’s easy to remember lol) These points should look like they are bent gradually, I mean, unless you’re trying to achieve the other one…

3. Height Difference

When making poses with height difference, the most important thing is stretching multiple points subtly, so the overall proportions can be preserved.

When selecting symmetrical points, like ankles, first select one and then, holding shift, select the other one, then use the blue arrow to stretch them simultaneously (so that they would be even). 

4. Reference Pics

I don’t usually do that, but having reference pics is good when you’re making complicated poses. 

After adding your reference picture, you can make your complicated pose more easily.

5. Listen to Blender

Okay, this is maybe the easiest but most crucial tip: If you’re trying to bend or twist something, and Blender makes it look bad, it’s most probably because what you’re trying to do is anatomically incorrect. Let’s say, if you want to twist a hand, you should start twisting it from the shoulders, again, gradually.

6. Mind the Gap!

Another crucial tip especially for making couple/group poses, don’t make them touch each other tightly. If you leave a subtle gap between them, you can prevent clipping in game. There are two reasons for that, first, the physical features of your sims are usually different than these rigs’, and secondly, these rigs are (almost) naked, you gotta leave some space for clothes.

7. Take breaks!

Okay I know it’s not exactly a blender tip but try to rest your eyes in every 30 mins, and by resting, I mean look at somewhere else, stand up, take a walk to the kitchen or bathroom, open a window, look at the sky. Staring at all these little dots is tiring for your eyes so try to give them a break once in a while.

–

That’s all for today, hope it was helpful! Take care guys :)

TS4 to TS3 Pose Conversion Tutorial

There was a tut for this but the information was under a readmore and the blog was deactivated so I’m gonna go ahead and reupload it here with some slight tweaks and I’m not going to put it under a readmore for the purpose of in case my blog gets deleted etc. Also not the best at explaining stuff sometimes but hope this is understandable enough!

DISCLAIMER: I’m not an expert at this this is information I learned from the original tutorial copied over as best as I could!

YOU WILL NEED:

Some knowledge of blender

This tutorial for installing the clip tool if you haven’t already

blender 2.67 since everything worked for us with just that version

S4S

4T3 Rig

Blender Rigs and Clip Tool

Step one: Find a pose you want to convert, Sara and I browse this blog for poses, open S4S and open the package file by clicking my projects then finding the package for the pose you want to convert. Once it’s been opened go to the clips section and export the clip, doesn’t matter what you name it just export it somewhere you can find it. It will export as a .blend file.

Find where you exported the pose to and double click the .blend file, the pose will open up in Blender and look like this (not the pose obviously but the side stuff)

Hit A on your keyboard then hit I then click locrot once you’ve done that your screen should now look like this

Once you’ve done that go under the S3PY Animations tool tab and export the clip make sure to name it something like a_mypose or whatever just make sure the a_ is there and there are no spaces. Save the clip somewhere you can find it again, now open up the 4T3 Rig Base file we provided above by double clicking it.

Import your clip using the S3PY Animations tool tab once again, make sure the one that says RIG is selected! DO NOT FIX ANYTHING! It might look wonky but we can fix the pose in the next step just don’t touch anything for now! Once the pose has been imported right click the where it says rig and hit deselect, then click on where it says AFRIG and make sure it is selected, make sure the eye button on the far right is visible for AFRIG and not visible for RIG so you can see the joints.

Once your screen looks like this you are going to hit A then hit I and it will automatically locrot for you. After you’ve done that go ahead and use the S3PY Animation tools tab yet again to export your clip, Make sure you save it somewhere you can find it easily!

Finally, open up the normal S3 rig whether it’s the male or female rig is up to you just open up one of them, again use the S3PY tool to import your clip file, 9 times out of ten the eyes are going to be wonky or some fingers are going to be weirdly placed, you can go ahead and fix those now! Once the pose has been tweaked to your liking go ahead and hit A then I and hit locrot then export your clip using the same method we have the last two times and you’re done!

Quickly how to import into your game: Open S3PE, new, then drag and drop your clip into the blank area, save the package, and you’re done, those won’t be poselist compatible but I don’t use poselist anyway and there’s tuts for that out there so!

If you have any questions feel free to message me I’ll try to reply back as best I can though I’m really busy these days so ♥

How to remove seams from Sims’ bodies for renders

So I’ve noticed an uptick in people using Renders instead of in-game screenshots when advertising content. I also noticed that people seem to have trouble with hiding seams when doing renders and I thought that I would offer my two cents on how to get rid of them.

For this I’m using Blender 2.90. Tutorial below the cut.
