Here's the official tutorial on how to use the program in regards of making objects. :)

What is not explained is the use of third party programs such as 2D and 3D applications.

First of all Murano, thanks for all your great tutorials and wiki pages - they've been a great help already :)
I'm stuck though on the plugins for Milkshape - I found them, copied and pasted them in Milkshape (I do have the latest version), but I still don't seem to be able to find a way to export my mesh into a .wso or .simgeom file, like it's asked in the TSR workshop import :( There are ways to export for Sims and Sims2, but I didn't see Sims3 (as they promised with their beta version - Milkshape I mean)

What am I overlooking? Or is there another way to get to the .wso file? Convert .obj with another program or such?

Thanks on beforehand :)

Hadewych - you should copy the 2 plugins from Program Files \The Sims Resource\TSR Workshop\Extras\Milkshape Plugins to Program Files \MilkShape 3D 1.8.4. Then restart Milkshape, the option should be availible in the import/export menu for TSRW Object.

Just an FYI Milkshape 1.8.5 is recommended.

Thank you Cazarupt, that's what I did, but maybe the latest version of TSR Workshop has changed, as they don't import .obj any more, but only .wso and .singeom - or well, those are the only file extensions coming up when trying to import a file *shrug*
I do have the latest Milkshape 1.8.5 indeed Riccinumbers, albeit the betaversion - didn't see a non-beta on the site? I'll try to add the plugins to 1.8.4 too (I did download both versions :D) and see what that gives.

Otherwise I'll come back and bug you a bit more ;)

ooh - something totally different - how do you put those diamond thingies underneath your avatar? I think I almost have a full triple set too :D

[Hadewych]

Me again! Cazarupt, thanks! I didn't know the TSRW object = .wso file :D
I'm using the 1.8.5 version of Milkshape though, just to be on the safe side ;)

I've been messing around with the long skirt to make it a maxi, following the excellent tutorial of sww 'Creating a New Clothing Mesh with the TSR Workshop' (um, until I've figured out how and which links I'm allowed to make, I'll just do it this way :P - haha) and it looks like it's working - woohooh!
