Looking for collaborator: I mesh, you use S4S?

You can also check out THIS about working Studio in a MAC, you might have a way to run it.

Otherwise, I know Steven would be a fantastic partner! Share knowledge is great, and I know you can do a lot of creative things together.

Hello Steven! I don't know what exactly about my post that prompted you to start thinking about my balls… but let me reply to your point-list with clarifications, since it seems like you misinterpreted a few things. That's OK, I'm not a native English speaker, misunderstandings happen

1.) You could say "just", sure, everything's relative. Since I started, I've made a few objects, some were for class and some just for practice. I don't see why I wouldn't be ready to start trying to make small objects for TS4 for more practice. (Like I said, I thought to try doing this for motivation to keep learning.)

2.) Yep. I play TS4 on a shared Mac, it's me mum's!

3.) I can't run S4S on that Mac, no, because my mum is kind of paranoid and won't let me install anything besides stuff she deems safe. TS4 was okay (it's "just a game" and from a big company), but when I asked her about stuff like Bootcamp she didn't like the idea of that at all. (Yep, she's weird and not a big techie, but I can't do much since I can't afford my own gaming computer anytime soon...)

4.) No, I didn't say that. I can see where you misread things, but I don't know how you read it that way. Maybe you could ask me about what part is unclear to you?

5.) Yeah, I think that's most people who get started with 3D-modelling. I'm sure there are a few who start with big complicated projects too, but I'm not one of them.

6.) Yup! I don't know how that comes across as weird either, I admit it would have been weird if I didn't have any ideas at all, but even then, I could grab some ideas from people's CC requests if I couldn't think of anything. But that's not the case, so…

7.) I don't know what's weird about that either, could you just ask me for clarification on the parts you're unclear with? I came to this forum to look up if I could run S4S on Mac, I browsed, found my answers, then decided to post just in case there was someone here who felt like teaming up. My line of thinking is that maybe there's someone who would like to work together to create CC, it doesn't have to be a one-man job. I really don't see what's weird about that?

Alright, now that we're done with the numbers, for the rest…

"Okay, ringlet, assuming that you have Sims4 installed on your Mac…"

Sure, it would be difficult to play it otherwise. (And if I wasn't playing it, I'm not sure how motivating it would be to try making CC for it...) Apple is pretty bad, I'm sorry you had to interact with them directly. My impression of them is just as bad as with most other big rich companies.

"What would be the First .Obj Mesh that you would like to Create CC with?"

Either I'm really missing something about the possible workflow of creating CC, or this was just from you misreading something in my post? As far as I could tell, I don't really need an exported .obj to work with, I could just model something, and then someone with S4S grabs my model and swaps it with whatever object is suitable (for example, an existing static clutter object). So, like, I send over a .obj/.blend file, and the person who can use S4S can open up a suitable cloned object in their own 3D software and replace the old mesh with my new mesh, doing some basic scaling and repositioning when necessary. Is my understanding of this really wrong? Of course I could pick the objects to clone from the game if that helps.

"Leave the offer up a few Days, probably' scared ringlet away."

Sorry to disappoint, but dismissive attitudes are really common and would be a pretty lame thing to be scared by... especially for someone with as big balls as me.

If your offer still stands, and the workflow isn't impossible, then sure! I'd appreciate it a lot! I'm working on one of those small clutter objects I mentioned, I'll probably be able to finish it in a few days (my daily Blender time is limited). Let me know how you'd want me to send you the mesh and texture.

Hi ringlet, what about buying a cheap old second-hand PC or laptop, just so that you can run some Windows programs when necessary? As long as it has Windows 7 or later, you can run S4S (IIRC, Windows Vista should even be OK), and the PC version of Blender. Then you can just copy your creations to a flash drive and transfer them to your Mac.

ETA: Forgot to add that you will need to install TS4 on the Windows PC in order for S4S to access the game files for the purpose of creating.  But you don't have to run TS4 itself on the PC if the PC isn't up to running TS4.  Just create on your PC and test on your Mac.  (I actually create stuff on a laptop which I use as a desktop replacement but isn't up to running TS4 happily, and then test it on a higher-spec desktop PC, so I myself use two computers for the creation process!)

Sounds like Steven probably has you covered but I'd be happy to help you out as well if he's ever busy! I'm not a blender pro but I'm decent enough to resize/etc a mesh that's already made and mapped out to get them in-game.

Hi ringlet, welcome to Studio forums. I hope you stick with your idea for creating things and I think you're right to start with less difficult projects...the people who jump into the deep end often burn out before they can get the first project finished. Also, if you give it a bit more time Studio will have a Mac version. It's not going to turn up tomorrow but the plan is in the works

Not a Granpa yet....but, maybe someday...(?)...ha!  Mathcope is a Great Choice!  "Exit, Stage Left".....( That is an Amazing Live Album, by RUSH...to any of you Young, Whippersnappers who enjoy MooSick, ha!).
