Guidelines for Sims 3 Objects
Objects are some of the most popular items to make for the Sims game and can be defined as new objects or recolors.
- Object Mesh:You have created or edited the 3D shape in a 3D editor such as Milkshape or Blender.
- Object Recolor: You have changed the overlay or other parts of an object's texture files - with or without editing the mesh.
- CAST Recolor: Recolours of existing objects, done in-game using the Create-a-Style tool to change the colours/patterns applied. We do not accept CAST recolours at MTS.
Creating your object
Meshes - reasonable poly counts |
|---|

If you have created a new mesh it needs to have a polygon count which is reasonable for what it is. A curvy, complex item that would be used rarely can have a higher count than a blocky/boxy item that would be used frequently. Look at EA/Maxis items similar to the type you're making to get a good idea of what a reasonable poly count is for the game. Items with excessively high poly counts for no good reason will not be accepted at MTS.

Meshing is fun and absorbing, but a good mesh needs a good texture to look good in game, especially if you are trying to keep polygon counts low :
