Plugin Many imaging programs do not initially know how to save/handle DDS files, so you'll have to install a plugin for them. Here are two of the most common ones.

Packages The CTU saves your finished creations as .packages, similar to what was used with The Sims 2.

For help with installing .packages, see Installing Sims 3 Package Files

Parameters To help quicken the search for a mesh, you can dial up the type of mesh you wish to use by setting the age/gender/type parameters.
