Sims 3 Tutorial: Multiple Textures

This tutorial shows you how to convert objects (either from other games or TS4) that have multiple textures WITHOUT having to edit UV or such, by making a TS3 object with multiple textures. Beware, only one texture can be recolorable!

EDIT: For three groups please change the third group type from “Phong” to “Counters” and press “yes” to the popup. Then change back to “Phong” and press “no” to popup. Switch the Diffuse to what you need and delete the Dirt Map. Then press “Done” and press “Yes” to all popups.

Groups you can use to switch to:

Counters

Outdoor Prop

Solid Phong

Additive

Phong Alpha

I was wondering if you knew any other active sims 3 creators? I’m getting back into sims 3 and most cc I’m finding is alpha, which isn’t my type of cc.

Hi! I’m afraid I haven’t been keeping up with CC finds blogs and the likes, so the people I’ll name here are those I follow directly or are on my radar (in a “check their tumblrs once in awhile” way):

Note: I consider TS4 conversions MM if they’re, well, EA content. Also, I’m interpreting “active” as “has posted in the last year or so”. And I’m not including hair retexturers/converters since most work with alpha hair.

Things I've been creating lately…?

Long story short, finished creating almost a hundred of shiny deco buildings for CAW (can't be arsed to take so many screenshots), two Japanese style highways (or viaduct?), currently working on better distant terrain texture. Hopefully I can successfully make my own Japanese world this time.

Btw, (although nobody asked), I can't share the buildings because I converted them from individual creators' work for City:skylines. :)
