Hello ,

First of all forgive me if something like that has been already asked in here but after weeks that i am poking my eyes out searching for it here and all over the internet i haven't found anything or i might have missed it .

Now is there anywhere , like a document or a page or anything for that matter , that has a list and an explanation of the variables ( like what is AuralProperties or U1 , U2 etc. ) and what are the values that can be used on them and how does that effect the project ?

Of course many of them are kinda self explanatory but still to someone new does not give us the value range and what exactly the impact will be to the project .

I did found many of them on the internet that other programs use but still there are others like U1,U2 ( the only u2 i know it used to be an 90's band :P ) ,U3 etc. and sometimes they are tick able and sometimes they are values there for i couldn't find anything for vars like those ( maybe i don't even know how to search them ) .....

So thank you on advance of any kind of response you might throw on my way and if there isn't a document , page , w/e that i can refer too , it will be nice if there is even a discord server that i can bug people with questions or a person that is willing to be bugged with questions by me .

Thank you for your time <3 .

They're different settings for different resources.

I mean where can you get the information about them on each item and how do the other creators know to use them ?

You can also search the sims forum for information.

I've seen complaints online that Electronic Arts isn't very forthcoming with their Sims 4 information--particularly as it relates to their scripts--whereas other game developers are.

A while ago, I was hoping to find some official documentation, as well. Alas, no such luck, though I have found some valuable information on the Sims forum.

Looking for a start-to-finish clothing tutorial? Here ya go. Look no further and download here. Please note: this tutorial is outdated. I'm working on a new one.

Well to be honest modifying their content especially the sims does prevent them to sell items and packages that it will bring them money .
For example the glass floor i want to make , if it was easy their packages that contain glass floors would stay on the rack and wouldn't cost 40$ to get them .....
I do understand it but still modifying their content it is not as easy as it looks and having a guide line would be nice .
The thing is that most of the questions i have are about stuff that other 3d programs use too and as i said many times i do find them on google but other times i am swimming on open ocean of Information :P .
Still i manage to do half of what i wanted and i am quite happy <3 .
But if you think about it we could make a catalogue about those things since with trial an error ( a lot of it ) we do find out how they work ( short of ) .
Any how that requires huge collaboration and i shouldn't talk about it since i don't think i can contribute so much as other people that they are on the pro side of the wall :D .

I think the biggest complaint is that EA doesn't share their coding (python, I think, so at least we know that, haha) while other game developers do. It's dumb, in my opinion. I think the modding community is a huge reason why Sims games sell so well. Any game that can be modded is guaranteed to be a popular game. Look at Skyrim. Bethesda updated the game engine from 32 bit to 64 bit because the game is still going strong after all these years, in spite of how terrible the textures and meshes are. It was worth it for them to put in all that time and effort to update the game and they can thank the modding community for the sales.

As for putting together a catalog. Honestly, I started keeping on offline library of tutorials and stuff about four years ago. For a long time, I took screenshots of posts that I ran across that I thought were helpful. I have literally 12 gig worth of info I've collected, lol. I'm just glad there are people here willing to share what they know. That wasn't really true when it came to TS3 creating. It was harder to get any kind of guidance. You had to search all over the internet just to get scraps of information. Or you'd ask a question on a forum and you'd never, ever get a reply. Many times, I just gave up and didn't even try to complete projects. Everything was centered around Milkshape, as well, and Milkshape makes me want to claw my face off. I can't mesh with it. It's awful.

Hahaha I remember when i was playing sims 1 and i just wanted to change the freaking wallpaper and the floor to anything else rather the custom ea's pictures and back then i found the TSR workshop ( i think it was called that , i am not sure to be honest ) and made my life even harder :P .
I just gave up and i didn't even dreamed of doing then the things i can do now cause now i am 20 years older and those 20 years gathered up a lot of knowledge and experience :P , plus now i can use blender too :P .

If you see my browser bookmark is filled with folders that they have a gazillion tutorial of what ever you can think about ... I even have tutorials of how to build real life nail with gel :P ( I am a hobby and diy freak , can't help it :P ) .

By the way i am not roaming in the forum often , especially when i am occupied with a project , so sorry for any late response i will have .
