Actually, it IS possible to get buildings as neighborhood decorations. I don't know about existing SC4 buildings but it definitely IS possible to get custom buildings into the game. I use 3ds Max 9. I just make my building in 3ds Max, make the textures via texture baking, then export the file as a (.obj) and import it into the game via SimPE. You can also do this with Gmax, but will need an (.obj) exporter installed and will probably need to make the texture manually (I don't think Gmax supports texture baking). I've reached a level where I can create pretty much anything that can go into the Sims 2, so if anyone needs a hand, PM or email me and I'll try and help you out. [...] See, SimCity4 has only 4 views while the Sims2 is fully 3D. What I meant was, if you save the original mesh used in a custom BAT (I use 3ds Max and it's not possible with Gmax unless you have a (.obj) exporter) you can put it in the game via SimPE. You would, of course, need to UV map the entire building and make a texture (it's quite time consuming). Also, I would suggest using the Optimize modifier to reduce the poly count as the Sims2 is a low poly game. |
