One Gigantic circle of I won't help you make your cc. Feb 21, 2022 1:03:36 GMT -5

The tutorials and manual up are for Blender 2.8 and up, which makes it useless since all of the shortcuts changed from 2.79 to 2.8 as well as the behavior. The old manuals aren't up.

I think it's reasonable, since Sims Studio is determined to lag behind on the Blender version and not update, that there should be some flex to allow for Blender-specific questions to Blender 2.79. Maybe a different section for it?

One gigantic circle of I won't help you, ask somewhere else because it doesn't belong here:

Sims4 Studio-- Hey, look there are tutorial guides that won't help you because we're determined to be on 2.79. And all of the guides are for 3.0, but we're not looking at the fact that Blender changed radically--you are wrong that the shortcuts and behavior is different. Go check out Blender forums.-->

Blender forums-- Why are you behind on Blender 2.79? Sims 4, why? We don't support that *snobbish behavior* Have you checked sims forums?-->

thesims.com-->Hey have you checked out the Sims 4 Studio forums? They should help with Blender.-->

Back to one. Sims 4 Studio... We don't support asking questions about Blender... even though we support only 2.79... have you checked Blender forums? --;;

Yes, there is a way to rip the stuff from 2.8+ to 2.79.

But it means any help asked about Blender 2.79 on Blender forums isn't supported and the manual is too different.

It's Sims4 Studio's fault. Take responsibility for lagging behind and allow some Blender 2.79 questions because the videos with tutorials are disappearing... because Ummm... it's not a relevant version anymore.

Allow for new creators and allow Blender questions since you're sooo determined to lag behind on the Blender version by 2+ years.

That said, I ran into problems that are specific to 2.79, but I can't get answers because all of Blender is onto 3.0 and I don't want to go through the forum hunt again because as I said ALL THE SHORTCUTS CHANGED between versions and the 2.79 tutorials aren't really up on that and the old manual is not posted.

One of you three have to make up your minds on who will help and I vote for the one whose fault I'm stuck on an old version of Blender for.

I have questions that I wouldn't have for Blender 3.0, but the questions I ask aren't supported on Blender forums. Someone has to give and I would think that Sims 4 Studio would want more cc creators. You have the most to lose.

Also, a lot of the tutorials are out of date... and don't acknowledge things like Photoshop no longer supports 3D files or exports on any 3D files and Sims4 Studio's GUI radically changed. I asked some of the tutorial creators and they said no. Because they don't think it needs to be done. (Ridiculous--you know how much the GUI changed?? Basic UX.)

I know it sounds like a lot of whining, but really, the tutorials need to keep up with the versions, and if Sims4 Studio isn't going to support the newest Blender versions, then it needs to give leeway for that and give space to support new creators on the old version of Blender. Don't lock out new creators. And where are we supposed to get a manual for 2.79? CLUE: It's not on the Blender site. They are on 3.0. I checked. Several. times. They deleted the old manuals.

1). You can change the version of Blender on the manual website and find anything you can possibly want about its features and shortcuts. We all have no problems using it.

If you cannot use the manual or google, it is your problem.

2). Blender has thousands of introductory videos online for 2.7x and 2.8+ versions that can teach you more than you need to create cc. None of them are being deleted and I have never had problems finding answers. If you cannot sit through an introductory video or add "2.79" or "2.7x" to the request, it is your problem.

3). All start-to-finish tutorials for making content with s4s are for 2.7x. Many people just watched an introductory tutorial for 2.8 and adapted their routine to it. If you can’t sit through a ts4-related tutorial and adapt that routine to whatever version you want, it is your problem.

4).
s4s-forum is for s4s only. It is not a dump for all questions imaginable and our job is to keep it that way. There are enough Blender forums as is. Our knowledge on the subject of Blender is limited to the things that we all do. If you will ask us about something we don't do, you will receive no answer because we don't know. If your question is generic, it has been answered millions of times and the answers can be found by googling. Why should we do that for you? Your inability to use the search engine is your problem.
Blender forums are for Blender, they have no way of knowing how to make content for ts4.
The sims 4 forum is for problems with the game and maxis content. They have no way of knowing how s4s and Blender handle these things.
If you do not understand that each forum serves a specific purpose, has rules and attracts only people knowledgeable on this subject and no others, then this is your problem only.

5). You ALREADY can use s4s with Blender 3 and you would know that if you tried googling or, I don’t know, checking the first pinned thread in this section of the forum called Sims 4 Studio and Blender compatibility. If you did not think of searching for your answers, this is your problem only.

6). When people in ts4 community want to use Blender 3, they google how to and use Blender 3. They have also no problems using and telling people to use 3ds max, Maya, Zbrush, Cinema 4d, Milkshape, etc, in their tutorials. They have no problems telling people to use an ancient version of Blender to transfer weights and vertex paint in their tutorials because they did not think of googling how to do that in 2.76+. Is this s4s developers fault as well? My point is, if someone wants to, they do, and if they don't, they don't. You will not get an influx of tutorials for Blender 2.8+ the moment s4s will start supporting them.

7). In that thread dedicated to Blender I explain in great details why s4s doesn’t support 2.8+ directly and how to use them to make content anyway. If you don't want to spend extra 20 sec - one minute to get your item in s4s, then this is your problem.

8). If you think that s4s developers, 2 people with regular jobs who make this software in their free time for free, should prioritize saving you 20 seconds every time you need to import the file in s4s over god knows how much of their personal free time it would take to re-do the plugin to be compatible with 15+ versions of Blender and update all of it every time Blender or TS4 get an update, then this is your problem only and I don’t think you deserve to use the product of their work.

9). If there is something you don’t like about s4s, there are alternative software that you can use. Don’t want to? Make your own. Can’t? Your problem only.

10). What Photoshop can and cannot do is neither s4s developers problem nor something that they can change through s4s.

Thousands of people have no problems using s4s as it is. Your lack of desire to put effort into learning how to make content and expecting to be served answers on a plate is the cause of your struggling, not s4s.
