TS4 to TS3 Conversion Index

A catalog of Sims 4to3 conversion downloads (PS I'm just a reblogger not a creator, so I can't take requests)

[ts4tots2conversions]

This simblr will no longer be updated.

I only log onto Sims sites about once a month lately and that is not enough to keep these blogs updated, so I won’t be reblogging or cataloging conversions here anymore.  Best of luck to other simmers who might want to track TS4 conversions under their own blog!  Happy New Year!

Conversion of TS4 Waiter Station to TS3 cabinet with decorative slots.

A new, useable - and very useful - object by Butterbot! :)

Butterbot notes:

Description This is a conversion of the Always Waiting Waiter Station from the TS4 Dine Out gamepack. It functions as a cabinet with five decorative slots (these slots are routable–sims will autonomously place items in them and be able to retrieve items from them). Some modifications have been made to the mesh for better scaling into TS3 and to accommodate the slots. There are three presets and four recolourable channels. It is found under Sort by Function -> Surfaces -> Cabinets, and priced at 125 simoleons.

Notice

The Waiter Station Cabinet occupies a single tile, but is slightly wider and deeper than a typical one-tile TS3 object. When placed against a wall, some minor clipping might occur. Pressing Alt during placement should allow it to be positioned in such a way as to avoid clipping.

When the Waiter Station Cabinet is not placed against a wall, sims will sometimes approach from its back to reach objects placed in the decorative slots, clipping through part of the cabinet. This is due to the way routing to surfaces is implemented by EA–it does not appear to include a way to dictate a directional approach (there is seemingly no support for routing slots). Similar behaviour is seen in EA’s own objects, such as the alchemy potion display case from the Supernatural EP. If the display is not placed against a wall and a sim is made to retrieve a potion from one of the shelves, the sim will approach the back of the display and clip through it to grab the potion.

Around the Sims 3 | Cooler, picnic baskets & more

I don’t know what Tumblr has against me tonight, but it’s my 3r attempt to post that update, and it never shows! (sorry if, all of sudden, they’re all published!)

You already know that: Arsil, at Mod the Sims, creates great mods, and there’s a lot of things I’d like to create, based on his mods, because they’re always smart and add some fun to the gameplay. For this time, you’ll get objects based on his cooler, which works basically like a fridge that you can put in your Sim’s inventory, without spoiling the food. That function made me want to have some “coolers” for picnic, but also for work or school. Some of these objets are based on Sims 4 meshes, some based on my own. You can find download them here!

I’m also releasing a mixed assortment of “rugs”: the Sims 3 picnic blanket, the Sims 4 “Outdoor Retreat” tarp that I should have released with my Camping sets, and another Sims 4 rug, that I should have made for my Sport set!

Around the Sims 3 | Sims 4 to 3 | More plants!

Yes, more plants! I’m sorry to be that obsessed with plants, but I’ve been watching “Gardener’s wolrd” lately, and as my real life garden has been completely destroyed by the flood we got in early June, I can only garden in the Sims (which is much less painful for the back, and you don’t have to water, to fight with weeds… all good!!), so it makes me want to make plants. And flowers. And gardening shop. And plants. :D

I tried to make recolorable leaves in most of the cases (though they’re not on the hanging flowers), the flowers are always recolorable, so you can make them looking really like you want.

4to3 - Backyard Stuff

I really liked this stuff pack, even though the typical blocky-ness Sims 4 objects have, like tables and chairs, it wasn’t that bad this time. I’m not hating on the game itself, I’m happy the franchise is still going strong :) So! Twenty items in total, CASTable and with several variations, and this time I included a collection file so it’s easier to find the objects. I will update all my conversion posts soon with collection files (I can’t believe I didn’t think of that sooner).

Put the collection file in MyDocuments/ElectronicArts/TheSims3/Collections/User

The usual don’t upload to paysites or claim as your own.

Enjoy!

TS4 to TS3 - Extracting!

“Hello~ Recently I was directed to your tutorial on converting clothes and I find it very helpful. However do you know how to convert objects too? Because I’ve been wondering how to convert objects from The Sims 4 to The Sims 3.“

- PM

You’re in luck, dear simmer. The way I do it, converting from TS4 to TS3 is just as easy as converting from  ☆ TS2 to TS3 ☆ . Follow that tutorial to wade your way through the muck of Milkshape. This tutorial just gets you covered on getting the meshes and textures OUT of TS4 so you can work with them. ;) 

Upwards and onwards! ^0^

Welcome to Murf’s School of Crap and Crap-Making!

School Motto: Prepare to be tortured! For Science!

Lesson #9: TS4 to TS3 Conversion

☽✶•.¸(✶•.¸★¸.•✶´)¸.•✶´☾ ☆«´¨`•°°•´¨`»☆    ☽.¸.•✶(¸.•✶´★`✶•.¸)`✶•.☾

Alright, so there are THREE different tools you can use to extract the textures and meshes out of TS4 objects CC, and an extra you can use solely for CAS CC.

There’s S4PE, the updated TSRW, and, the one that I personally like using, Sims4Studio.

Start a New Project in Sims4Studio, by clicking My Projects and opening whatever .package file you want to work with.

When you’ve selected a file, you’ll get a 3D screen and a bunch of crap on the side. Go to the Texture and Mesh tabs.

Depending on what you’re converting, the CC might come with 1 or more Swatches (color variations). Click each Swatch you see, and click the green Export button to extract them (.dds format).

In the Meshes tab, there’s a dropdown list for LOD0/½/whatever, so click each of them and press the green Export button for them, too.

The meshes come in .blend format, a Blender file (the program’s free; don’t panic). Luckily, it’s super easy to extract the golden .obj files out of Blender.

Just double-click the .blend file it gives you, and wait for Blender to load.

ALL YOU NEED TO DO is go to the File menu, scroll down to Export, and then scroll down to Wavefront (.obj). Click that, and it’ll take you to a screen to save your mesh as an .obj file. Click Export OBJ and you’re done!

Now you can go into Milkshape and mess with everything! ^__^

I have never updated my TSRW past 2.0.80, so I can’t vouch for how it’s done there, but with S4PE it’s the exact same process you’d use with TS3 mesh and texture extraction:

Start a New project in S4PE:

Import whatever .package file you want to convert.

(Resource menu, and scroll down to Import > From Package)

You’ll get a handful of silly prompts; click Import, then No when it asks you to Auto-Save. 

Then you get a screen of crap. Two steps left!

In the Tag menu, find the ones labeled _IMG and MLOD. The Img is the texture (in .dds format) and the Mlod is the mesh (in .lod format).

You’ll need the proper plugins to get .dds files to work in Photoshop/Gimp, and .lods for (I think?) Blender. Someone might have to correct me on this; I have a S3PE .lod plugin for Milkshape, but I never got around to looking for one for TS4.

Again, read the  ☆ TS2 to TS3 ☆ tutorial to follow my steps on working with the mesh and textures in Milkshape.

Hope this helps!
