Hi everyone,
I really hate blender and I understand nothing about it ; I use MilkShape 3D for years. But I can only import with Sims4Studio ".blend" files for meshes. Does exist any plugin to fix that ?
Jim. |

I tried. I exported the mesh from MS3D in a ".ms3d" file and imported it in blender. Then I saved the mesh in a ".blend" file. In S4S I imported this mesh and got this error :
"The Sims 4 Studio - Version 3.0.0.8

hi! There's no plug-in that could work for importing directly from MD since there's a lot still that you have to modify to make your mesh work in game. You can read here the explanation about it. |

I don't agree with you inabadromance : my mesh in MS3D is ready to import ; there's nothing else to do but import it (like I said I use MS3D for years). I usually use TSRW to create new objects but the recent patch broke it. So I was looking for a second solution.

oh i'm sorry! i read wrong, i thought you where talking about Marvelous Designer! My bad!!
Have you tried importing it via the warehouse? You have to check each model and click the "import" button below the preview. I've stopped using milkshape a long ago due to the very old UI and overall feel of the program. I know that you dislike Blender, but i suggest you give it a try. it does exactly what milkshape does but with many more features and much faster. I'm sorry, i can not help you more with this.

Studio use Blender for its import/export functionality. So you need to use that. You can export your mesh and import it in Blender, but make sure to match the cut numbers. You can export the item you cloned from EA to have a base.

It doesn't work. The ".blend" file I exported from a cloned object (cloned with S4S) seems to be empty when I import it in Blender. And when I want to import a custom mesh in S4S I got an error message (cf. my previous message).
S4S developers may think about a second way to import/export meshes because blender is not at all intuitive and very complicated.

hi! Please refer to this thread about the issue you're having with the blank .blend. This is due to incompatibility with the 2.78 version of blender and the latest s4s. |

So I deleted the 2.78 version and installed the 2.70. I'm now able to export from S4S a mesh and see it in Blender. But when I import in S4S a custom mesh it's like nothing happen : the mesh doesn't change.

What ever you are importing has to have the same cut number as the original clone  |

My mesh has no "cut". The S4S CAS Tools tab is empty

You need to export the mesh (the clone) out of s4s and double click it to open it in blender, it will activate the s4s tools thingy

Check out this tutorial that covers the process. You don't mention what type of mesh you're working with.. so i'm guessing is an object instead of clothing. |

It was a dining table. It's okay, I finally succeeded importing the mesh  . I exported the original mesh from S4S to Blender. Then, I imported my custom mesh from an obj file. I deleted the original mesh and I renamed the groups of my custom mesh (like the original ones) and modified the "cut number" (well it's the group number if I understand). I saved. I imported the mesh in S4S. I tested my dining table in the game, it worked perfectly . I would like to thank you, dear moderators, for your patience and your answers . Jim. |
