Hello! I am trying to default replace the base game French Maid Outfit, but in CAS and in game, the Sim's body turns completely white, and it cannot be recolored, although the mesh itself is there and all morphs/bones work. So it must be a texture problem; the dress I am replacing the maid outfit with does not have this problem. I have made two hair default replacements with success, but doing CAS is harder, it seems. Do you have any idea as to why this must be? Thank you!

Hello! It seems to me by the description that it is indeed a texture problem, but I'm not 100% sure on that. It might be that the texture was not saved in the correct dds format. It should be DXT5 format. You can check it in s3pe. Just click on one of the _img files and there's a row above the image.

hey! i love ur default replacements and i saw that you take requests (hopefully u still do LOL) but i wanted to know if you could please possibly make another replacement for the base game long bang hairstyle with @vmsims23 clover hair :)

Hi!

Yes, I take requests. (I think I should write it in my bio.)

I actually wanted to make second versions of my defaults (and also update the first versions), and the clover hair is a perfect candidate for fhairlongbang, so I would like to turn it into a default.

📨 Random simblr question (for the ts3 simmers) of the day: Who's your favorite premade sim?

Hi anon!

I'm not really sure. The thing is there are a couple of premade sims that i really like, but i wouldn't consider them favorite.

A few sims that come to my mind right now are:

Connor Frio, Gunther Goth, Agnes Crumplebottom

So I guess they are my favorite, but again i'm not really sure.

The Sims 3 default clothing replacement tutorial

Hi everybody!

A couple of weeks ago an anon asked me if I could make a tutorial about default replacing clothes.

Well here it is.

This is my first time making a tutorial, so if something is not clear leave a comment.

You can find the whole tutorial under the cut.

Programs you need:

Sims 3 Object cloner (S3OC)

Sims 3 Package editor (S3PE)

Milkshape + plugins

In this tutorial I'm going to replace this base game top (amTopShirtLongTee) With this conversion from Sim-songs

Step one: Clone the clothing that you want

open s3oc

There's actually 2 ways you can clone a clothing with s3oc, and I'm going to show both of them.

1.5.1 The First way of cloning a clothing is to click on Cloning -> CAS Part.

It will give you a big list of every Create a sim stuff, which is fine, but I personally don't like it.

1.5.2 The second way of cloning is to go to Tools -> Search

This one allows you to search for a specific thing.

For example if you want to clone a top then write top in the search bar, if you want bottom, then write bottom, but if you want to clone an outfit, then write body and not outfit.

You can even specify the age and the gender.

f=Female

m=Male

u=Unisex

p=Toddler

c=Child

t=Teen

y=Young Adult

a=Adult

e=Elder

You always have to write the age first, then the gender and then the type of clothing, so for example "amtop".

You can also specify that you want to clone CAS Part.

2. Now, if you've found the clothing you're looking for you can clone it by selecting it and then clicking on Clone or fix.

In the next window, on the right side you can recategorize the clothing if you'd like, on the left there are options that we have to tick and untick.

3. Tick Deep Clone, Include thumbnails and untick Renumber/rename internally and then hit Start and save it somewhere.

Step two: Replace everything that needed

Now that we've cloned the clothing it's time to replace the stuff.

open the cloned package with S3PE

1.5 A completely optional step but you can delete everything that we're not gonna replace in the cloned package.

Things that you have to keep:

Basically this is how it has to look:

2. Now moving on to actually replacing the stuff.

Open the custom content package in S3PE and export the texture files. Just right click on the file -> Export -> To file...

Give it a unique name or don't, it doesn't really matter just make sure that you know what is what.

Now go to the cloned package. Right click on the texture -> Replace.

And then select the corresponding texture.

Do the same thing with all the textures, but make sure that you replace mask with mask, multiplier with multiplier, specular map with specular map and normal map with normal map.

3. Go to the custom content package and export the BGEO files. Right click on them -> Export -> To file...

Again give them a unique name, but for real this time, because this can be confusing. It's hard to know which is which, but usually the first one is the fat morph, the second one is the fit, the third is thin and the last one is special.

Go to the cloned package. Right click on one of the Bgeo files -> Replace.

Do this with all of the Bgeo files. Replace the fat with fat, fit with fit, thin with thin and special with special.

4. Now export all the Lods (Geom files) from both the cloned and the cc packages. (right click -> Export -> To file...)

Make sure that you save them as " .simgeom " file.

Open Milkshape and import Lod1 of the EA mesh.

If you get a pop-up like this just hit ok.

Go to Groups tab and then click on Comment

This window will pop-up. Select everything and then copy it.

I would recommend opening notepad and pasting it in there to make sure that it copied.

Now in milkshape click on File -> New (you don't need to save anything) and then Import the Lod1 mesh of the custom content.

Then go to Groups -> Comment and the same window as before will pop-up, but instead of copying everything delete everything.

So it should look like this.

Then paste in the one that you copied from the other mesh (the EA mesh).

Then hit ok and export it.

Do this for all the Lods.

Now go to the cloned package, right click on one of the Geom files -> Replace, and then select the corresponding Geom file.

Now do this for all the Geom files and then it's pretty much done.

Save the package file and then it's time to test it in game.

Two things you should check:

if all the morphs work

if you can recolor it properly and it has the right amount of channels

For me the morphs work fine, but the channels are not right. It's recolorable, but it's not the right amount of channels.

So let's fix it!

Optional step: Copy the cc presets to the default replacement

Open the cc package, click on Casp file and then click on grid.

A small window will pop-up. Click on Presets then click on that small rectangle.

A similar window will pop-up. Click on [0] Preset, then click on Xmlfile, a drop down arrow will appear, click on it, then click on Export, and save the presets.

Now open the default replacement package, do basically the same thing as before (Casp -> Grid -> Presets -> XmlFile) but instead of clicking on Export click on Import and import all the presets.

Then hit ok and commit and you're done. You've copied the presets from the cc to the default replacement.

I hope that everything was understandable. If something was not clear leave a comment.

(I dont think my first ask sent so im sending this again) Would you consider making a tutorial to default replace clothes? You're the only person i've seen make a full mesh replacement for clothes that wasn't just an EA edit and I would love more default 4t3 clothes in my game.

Hi!

Well I haven't made any tutorial yet, but sure I would like to make a tutorial about default clothes replacement. It will probably be a written tutorial.

Sims 4 to Sims 3 Conversion

4 presets (based on the sims 4 version)

Everyday

Valid for random

Channels and presets:

Note: This conversion is not perfect, it has a few issues. If you're interested in the issues keep reading,if you're not interested feel free to click on the download button (no pressure).

Around this area the mesh is a bit see thru,but It's not that noticable when you're just playing the game.

I've made the test sim do a lot of different tasks (like preparing a meal,eating a meal, wash the dishes, sit on the couch and watch tv ... and a lot more.) and it was barely noticable.

It also has a bit of clipping issues with some pants when you put both the fatness and the fitness sliders to the max.

Other than that I've not seen any other issues.

Are you working on default hairs still?

Hi!

Yes, I'm still working on default hair replacements, even though I haven't posted anything new in months. (Although I'm currently working on a conversion and after that I want to work on some defaults.)

[firefoxsims3]

I'm rebloging this because the follower gift that I made for this post had the wrong texture format. Now it should be fixed.

I also made 2 new presets for it.

The download link is updated in the original post.

Hi Everyone! Today I hit 500 followers. Thank you everyone,who helped me reach this goal. When I first started this tumblr blog I didn't think I would actually reach this number of followers. I thought that only a few people would follow.

To celebrate this goal I've made a little something....

I've done my first ever default clothing replacement. It always bothered me,that the sims 3 is the only game where there's no Bella Goth dress (probably because she's a child in that game.)

You can find the non default version here, but I actually changed the diffuse (aka the texture),because it was too light,which resulted in the details of the dress dissappearing when choosing a light color (white for example.)

The dress has 2 recolorable channels. It only has one preset.

Hi, thanks for all your CC! I recently tried your afBodyDressTight_halter default replacement, but the textures didn't show up properly in my game (had skin texture on the dress instead). I tried it in a new folder to make sure it wasn't conflicting with anything, but it still didn't work. Any idea what might be wrong?

Hi! First of all you're welcome and thank you too for your cc!

Well I might have made a mistake with the textures. It could be that I saved the dds with the wrong format. I'm gonna look into it and see what I can do. I doubt that it was a problem with conflicting files,because as you wrote you put it in a new folder.

[firefoxsims3]

What does Deactivated mean? I wanted to download your default hair replacements, but some of them are "deactivated".

Hi!

To be honest, I have no idead. Not because I don't know the meaning of the word,but because I don't know why it happened to you. I never "deactivated" any of my content,I don't even know if it's possible. My guess is that you wanted to download something that I may have (accidentally) deleted,but I usually don't delete my content unless I have to "update" it.

Can you please tell me what you wanted to download ? Or maybe send a link so I can figure out what happened.
