The picture is the default that comes from uploading to the sims2 website. To create her I used BodyShop, SimPE, MilkShape, Sims2MeshTool, and PaintShop. Here's a somewhat better version, and my rendition of Lt. Uhura from TOS.



And a quick-ref list to step through the editing process:
1. Create a TEMP mesh to be edited
* Open bodyshop
-Create Parts
-Start New Project
-Create Clothing
Select nearest match
-Export Selected Textures -> MeshYeomanTEMP
-Import To Game -> "TempYeoman" comment
close bodyshop

2. Open SimPE
-File Open -> SavedSims/###_MeshYeomanTEMP.package
-PackedFiles->PropertySet_>Plugins get name: afbodyshortdressboots
-FileClose

3. Create project folder Games&Mods/Sims2/Yeoman
FileOpen -> The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Sims3D\Sims06.package
find name in name map
extract data to folder
repeat for sims05, sims04, sims03

4. New file in SimPE (long index)
packedFiles -> Add ...four <xml?> files from above
SaveAs downloads/MESH_AngleWyrmYeoman04242005.package
Plugins->FixIntegrity
Paste new name and hit update, ok, save.

Extract new copies of cres and shape to project folder
Named modifiedcres, modifiedshape

5. Point temp skin at new mesh
FileOpen SavedSims/###_MeshYeomanTEMP.package
PackedFiles_>Add modifiedcres and modifiedshape
3D ID Reference->Plugins->"Package" popupwindow
DELETE old resourcenode and shape from file editor
Drag resourcenode and shape to file editor
move new ones to top (resource first)
"commit" changes, save

6. FileOpen-> downloads/MESH_AngleWyrmYeoman04242005
Geometric Data Container ->Export body.obj

7. SimPE FileOpen ->downloads/MESH_AngleWyrmYeoman04242005
geodata extract -> originalgmdc.5gd


------ EDIT CYCLE -------

Import, edit, export to editedbody.obj

MESH TOOL
Load3dFile -> editedbody.obj
LoadSims2Mesh -> originalgmdc.5gd
Save -> editedYeoman.smpe

8. SimPE FileOpen ->downloads/MESH_AngleWyrmYeoman04242005
geodata _> replace editedYeoman.smpe
commit, save

here's a poser 4 render (file attached), sorry about the low resolution but i forget to increase the res. and when i realize that i've already closed the program and i'm to lazy to do all over again....

[Kamog]

Wow,looks good, Nice work!

Can you make anybody with that program, besides Uhura? Say, Kes, Lieutenant Yar or maybe Jadzia Dax??
Or, actually, Lyta Alexander, she's the prettiest.

Hey, EaX you have Poser? Could you give me an honest review of the program? I've been thinking of getting it, but I'm afread it might be too complicated. A few questions I have are as follows..

1) How easy is it to pose figures?
2) Does it come with a few male and female models?
3) What are it's export capabilities?
4) Which version do you have?

Thanks for any info you can provide. Their site makes it sound like the second comming, and I am always hesitant to buy something where no shortcommings are listed or discussed on the forums. (not a bug is not a shortcomming. Missing features or a clunky UI that takes 2 years to learn is.. Can you say 3DS Max? )

Cheers!

Hi!, it's not complicated to use, in my opion the UI is very nice, and it's a funny program to use, i've seen custom models but i have no idea how to make them. It's also possible to animate the characters.

1) it's easy but patience is required the first times

2) Yes, male, female, animals, clothing, etc, and few robots if my memory don't fails, but i may have downloaded (robots) them i don't remember.

3) i don't remeber right now and since i'm not at home now, i can't check out but i'll tell you later when i get back home.

4) i've Poser 4.0 i know there is a newer version but i never use it. i think the newest version is poser 5.

I'm not an expert on poser so maybe more advanced stuff can be a bit more complicated but as far as i know is pretty easy to use. You should check their site, there should be a demo there. i hope.

what stuff do you want to make?
