A Few Tips for Converting from Non Sims Games, for First Timers.

Mirror: Dreamwidth.

1. Find out the game's engine. To know what type of file the game files are archived as.

2. Look up the appropriate tool for browsing that archive.

Link - my go-to resources. Info and links under programs - general → converting. Links to tutorials for said programs are under tutorials → converting.

3. Check out how that tool saves the exports.  Look up the right import/export add-on for Blender accordingly. I've noted that info in the aforementioned list.

That's it. You've got the goodies in Blender. The rest is the same as with converting from other Sims games. Links to favorite tutorials for converting from Sims games; Tutorials → Converting.

Happy Simming!

@sims2tutorials I think it counts as a tutorial?

How did you go about redesigning the clothes in you remaster?

Ooh great question! I'll go into more detail below, but the gist is that I broke down each character into their vibes and general aesthetic and tried fitting it to my design biases.

I tend towards more grounded designs than the original JRPG-inspired armour and clothes, so I referenced a lot of medieval fashion for the setting. You'll usually see me covering bared skin in battle outfits or toning down extra details I struggle to draw

Then, using those references, I'd try to thumbnail basic shapes and colours to figure out which works best

(More specific character notes below)

For some characters like Iseul, I didn't feel much need to change his outfit so I mostly toned down the detail to suit my style. I shifted the colour scheme to something warmer and removed the fur and extra armour to serve his image as animal-loving and battle-avoidant. This serves as great contrast to his timeskip outfit where he then commits to being both a warrior and a prince, with more ornamentation and practical armour

I designed Helena and Alain as contrasts. They have very similar themes and designs, so I decided to smooth Alain down into the picture-perfect metal knight while Helena's wilder and asymmetric. I referenced more realistic armour for Alain but overall I wanted to keep his clothes similar.

For Helena, my design style is more practical and thematically I want to avoid Helena baring skin and vulnerability so I extended her corset into more of a chest armour and covered her other thigh. To add to her duality of magic and metal, I gave one arm armour and bared the other to show off magical scars.

August and Altea's designs are where I start to venture off into more vibes-based outfits. August is humble and traditional, a knight with proud loyalty to his Lord and family, so I gave him medieval colours to represent both on his tabard. The armour is still there, but it's less focus on metal and more on "cheaper" materials to serve as a contrast to his timeskip where he becomes a proper knight in shining armour. For that reason, I took away the cape and other unnecessary decoration.

Then Altea is flashy, wealthy, and bright. I kept the focus on light armour, with scalemail as the only obvious protection. I've mentioned before but I took inspiration from south east asian fashion (mostly cambodia and malaysia) as a grounded but ornate basis for her magical girl theme. Here the colour scheme and fabrics are what mostly connects it to the original

Similarly, Lennox is where vibes rule and the overal aesthetic changes quite a bit. He's often described with "choir boy" hair, so I wanted to combine choir robes with ornate priestly outfits to sell him as a vain cult-leader. I kept the symmetry, long coat, and lack of obvious armour, but I wanted him to look less modern and stick with less structured outfits.

One thing specific to the generals, is that I wanted to give them more of a variety to colour palettes to sell that while they're working together, they're not exactly happy about it. While they all have a focus of blue and silver to keep them cohesive, they each have a motif: Alain - silver, Helena - pale blue, Jinhai - brown, Lennox - dark blue, Magnus - turquoise

The way y'all treat CC creators/converters in the community is why most people don't share stuff anymore

Just open the file. Make sure is 540px wide for a single gif and not 500, or 600, for 450. just... 540, it's been 540 since 2015.

The other post was getting long, and this is a different sword, so here you go:

I actually fucking finished a mesh edit!!!!! Well, at least the meshing part. This thing has parts from three different sword meshes. Tomorrow it's on to texturing hell. I've never textured anything before in my LIFE, and I just know it's going to be miserable, lmao.

Especially since I assume I'm going to have to make a new uv map and I don't know shit about that. But I at the very least need a texture for renders, and this sword is low-poly enough that I could probably make it an in-game accessory too.

Sorry if this is a bit out of left field since we’re moved on to the deciding the pattern part of the birthday quest, but I was curious if you had any patterns in mind for a messenger bag in the event that it won? I’ve always wanted a nice one, but I never thought of making one myself until I saw it in your poll

Hey! It's not out of left field at all, I love talking about patterns! I don't have a pattern for one yet, but I will be either sharing a link to one or just drafting one myself in the short-to-medium term, because I want to make my nieces some messenger bags for rock collecting. It'll depend on if I find a pattern I like or if I find my old denim messenger bag I drew all over that I think is still in my closet somewhere? I loved that thing, it's my personal default of what I think a messenger bag looks like

already nuts about fel because the little we have established about her character so far could give way to so many interesting scenarios + dynamics with loic/ysme.

like for starters you have a military/police recruit who wears ribbons in her hair and pleads tearfully with her senior officer not to explode a foreign cultural relic in the name of capturing/killing this one criminal and that's a whole can of worms in and of itself. fel seems very idealistic and not cut out for the role she's ended up in.

and from there, we don't know what happened to her, but it feels like it could have gone in one of two directions: either she stuck to her convictions, defied orders, and left/was fired from her position, or she stayed with langlais despite her concerns and was onboard the shield airship when ysme mangled it.

either way, she sees that the immediate aftermath of the shield exploding the hollow temple is the shield having its shit rocked in turn by a 50 meter high goddess who could have killed them all but chose to leave them battered instead.

divine retribution.

i can't necessarily speak for her, but if i were fel, i would have some capital-f Feelings about goddess!ysme in the wake of that ordeal
