 ====3D Modeling Programs====
 *'''[http://chumbalum.swissquake.ch/ Milkshape 3D]''' is the most used 3D modeling software in the Sims community. It's '''not free''', but not terribly expensive either. This program comes with many amazing tools that make body meshing a lot easier..
-*'''[http://www.blender.org/ Blender 3D]''' is a '''free alternative''', but the UI of the program can be kind of intimidating for new users. As a '''word of warning''', many tutorials are '''centered around Milkshape'''. So, it's recommended that you have some '''background knowledge on how to use Blender''' if you choose this program over Milkshape.
+*'''[http://www.blender.org/ Blender 3D]''' is a '''free 3D editor''' that is now well supported within the Sims community.  It is extremely powerful and has a large community which has produced many tutorials that can be directly applied to meshing for Sims 4.

 ====GEOM Plug-Ins====
 Like with DDS textures, your modeling program will not automatically be able to import your TS3 meshes. You'll need to install a GEOM plugin first.
