Gettin' your OBJs worth out of TSRW ;)

Okie doke. So you need an OBJ to use as a prop in MS for your poses? Lets get it for you!


To start with, go ahead and open up TSRW-

Go ahead and select Create New Project.

For this example we're going to select New Import since I'm going to be using already made CC. If you're going to be using an Object that came with an EP or an SP (or BG) Then you'll select one of the categories above accordingly.

Once you select your category, select Next.

Since we're importing CC it'll bring up this window where you will browse to where you have your desired prop stored. See my red box? When this window first comes up the default file it's looking for is .wso. Or Resource Workshop Files. You can use the drop down function to select a Package or a Sims3Pack.  We're going to select a package and then click Open.

This is the next window. Go ahead and click next.

This is the next screen. I always try to put in a Unique project name. Even if I'm just getting the obj out. I'd really rather not booger something up. However, you might be able to get away with ignoring that and just not naming it at all. Anyhow, Next again! And you'll get yet another window where you don't need to do anything other than click a button. Though at least you'll (Finally!) get to click Finish.

So we've finally finished loading and naming, and waiting, and clicking Next and you'll get a wonderful visual of the object you've successfully loaded. Woot. See all those tabs in the upper right? If you would kindly direct your eyes there, we're looking for the Mesh tab. Go ahead and select it.

When the tab loads you'll see another drop down menu. Go ahead and select whichever mesh you think you'll need. Needless to say, the shadow is most likely worthless for this. Unless you're posing with a shadow and hey, who am I to assume?  I'm going to go ahead and select the High LOD (Level Of Detail) mesh. Then I'm going to click on the box with the Red Arrow that is immediately to the right of the dropdown menu.

Once you've clicked on that Box with Red Arrow this is the pop up you'll get. It's a Save As box. Go ahead and enter whatever file name you want, and you can even browse around to put the file wherever you'd find it easiest to find.

When you're done with all of that go ahead and click the drop down arrow on the Save As Type box. It's going to start with the WorkshopObject (*.wso) .

Go ahead and select the file extension you need. As the title of this tutorial implies, I'd figure you'd be selecting a Wavefront Object (*.obj). lol. Anyhow go ahead and select your file extension, name it, and click save. and Voila! You've got your prop as an obj all ready to go!
