Converting vehicles to TS3

[blakegriplingph]

OK, so I wanted to convert some vehicles from GTASA or GTA IV (or any other game) to The Sims 3, but I can't seem to find any tutorials for it. I did hair conversions before, so I guess it won't be that hard, right?

Cars aren't much difference, just the joint assignments. Any TS3 creating tutorial should guide you. Tutorials:TS3_Basic_Object_Creation

Keep in mind if you intend to share those cars you will need explicit permission to convert from the publishers.

i did a few gta cars for the sims 2 and i can tell you its alot of work....
There was a cool thread that explained it all but its deleted(i asked already if a mod could repost it but since its months ago and haven't heard from him/her i guess it aint possible) :(
You need a proggy that can convert the GTA 3ds files into a format that Milkshape can handle
From there you assigne the mesh with the correct bones and fix the uvmap
Import the mesh, fix the textures and the joints in TSRW or s3OC.

OK, thanks, I get it now. I was thinking of porting my Tatra 603 mod for San Andreas to TS3, anyway.
