Model from The Sims 3/4

[alijons]

Hey there. I have question. Maybe stupid... Is there is a way to take Sim from The Sims 3 or 4 and made it work with SFM? If there is, how could i do it?

You need to find a way or a place where you can extract content from the game(s). More on this, Googling it is the best answer.

Hour on Googling made me write my question here... Anyway even if I find a way to extract model from Sims 3 or 4 still I need to... I don't know... create rig for it? Or somethink like that.

[alijons]

Any ideas?

It's another case of customizeable, morphing models. Even if you can find a way to rip models from whatever engine it is Sims 3 and 4 use (which admittedly can't be that difficult), you'll still have the issue of morphing the base mesh the exact same way your in-game character was, which I think would be next to impossible.

There must be some way... If I can use models from Dishonored why couldn't I use models from Sims...

Boning a model isn't hard, but rigging is a bit of a different story for two reasons.If it's a human, its easy, but if its an animal, then the rig will come out but not exactly how you want it. :P

For the reason I only just mentioned; Sims are customizeable morphed meshes. Dishonored's are static.

Oh, I see now. English is my secondary language so I needed to spent some time in translator and dictionary until I understand what that "morphed meshes" may be. But now I know

Oh i've been looking into this too. ( Must get Grim Reaper Models )

In sims 4, you can extract models with Sims 4 Studio, but you need Blender (one in the 2.6 - 2.7 version I believe. You'll have to search which version it uses exactly). Its complicated though, and I've never ripped a sim (only hair and clothing). HOWEVER, you get to keep their original rig! :D

I screenshotted in the way that should help you get started:

But you can only select the clothing. You can try figuring out how to get everything to export, or select it.

I only know how to get the clothing. And yes, there are a lot more bones on the model than normal Source, but at least its already rigged.

That's all I can help with, I'm afraid. I ripped the Sims 4 cowplant once, but its tail rigging was messed up, I still have an idea to upload it eventually though.

Is this thread still open for discussion? I'd like to know as well lol.
