Can anybody tell me the difference between hacked and not hacked objects? I mean, what's the difference? Does it mean that if an object is hacked, then it's stolen?

No, "hacked" has nothing to do with stolen or illegal. A hacked object is something where its functions have been altered. A simple "hack" could be to make a cheap bed or couch with very high energy and comfort values, for example. Or a hacked door could have some special functions, like being lockable. Or a hacked mirror or painting that you can use to view sims' needs and change them. As an emaple, see simlogical, a website that offers various useful hacked objects.

Have you followed any tutorials for Body Shop? To put your file into the game, there is a button called "Import To Game" you need to select when you're done with it.

Actually, the purpose of this thread is not to explain how to do something, but rather to point out that there are many different things that can be created: object recolours, brand new objects, clothing recolours and new clothings, hacked objects, and so on...

So, you should first ask yourself: what do I feel inclined to create?
If you have never created anything, I suggest to start with recolours (either for objects or clothings): in the "Create" forum, you can find many useful (and easy) tutorials for beginners. My personal suggestions are:

Recolouring objects

Basic clothing recolours.

I've finally started my Journal. Information only, no questions.

dhara,
in here, there's a big difference between a GUID and a guide
if the guide is only in pdf format, try foxisoft reader, it's very small and very free

No, you don't need them all. Generally you need one of each: one mesh editor, one paint program, and so on. Go back to the first post of this thread and follow the link to the object creation tutorial. It'll tell you everything you need to have to go through the tutorial.

And, please, try to avoid typing in all caps, it makes it seem like you're shouting. There are people around to help you, no need to get upset, just give people time to reply .

It depends on what you want to create.

For recoloring objects, you'll need SimPE and a paint program. The technical side of recoloring is easy, although getting nice-looking results might be harder.

For making custom objects with new mesh, you'll need SimPE, a paint program, a 3D program, and probably a uv-mapper, as well. This is definitely harder than recoloring objects.

For recoloring clothing/hair make-up etc. you'll only need Bodyshop that comes with the game, plus a paint program.

For meshing clothing, hair or accessories, you'll need Bodyshop, SimPE, a paint program and a 3D program. This is also considerably more difficult technically that recoloring clothing etc.

I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to be a teacher, to all of us who would get lost without your guidance. I'm a Newbie in all of this so I guess that would make me a freshmen. Thanks a million. Wolf

Possibility...?
Hey

Ages ago in the sims1 I downloaded this 'sculpture' of a sim. I downloaded a family as well and it turned out that the sculpture was of a female sim in the family. I'm not sure if the object was modelled to look like the sim, or if somehow the sim's geometry was exported.

Does anyone think that it would be possible to export a specific sim from the sims 2 as a model, be it rigged for animation or not?

When you open the character file of a sim in SimPE, you will find the 3D information of their faces for each age in there. You should be able to export the mesh into a mesh program. But it's only the face, the rest of the sim is not included.

Thanks IgnorantBliss.

I could just export the face mesh, then join it to the mesh of whatever clothing I use I suppose. Is this done the same way that you would export clothing for editing? Which section should I be looking in?

Have a good day now
