Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone!

Due to numerous issues related to existing tools for editing CAS parts, I decided to make my own.

Currently, it supports the following features:
  • Editing part flags (e.g., age, gender, species, categories, etc.)
  • Adding, editing, and deleting presets
  • Importing/exporting GEOMs, OBJs, and WSOs
  • Displaying morphs
  • Changing the shaders and material properties of mesh groups
  • Adding mesh groups to LODs
  • Converting 3-pattern presets to 4-pattern ones

Support for the following is planned:
  • Assigning morphs and bones (both of which in the meantime can be done in Meshing Toolkit)
  • Creating patterns (this can be done in the meantime with Delphy's Pattern Packager)
  • Displaying a full Sim in the 3D renderer
  • Creating/editing CAS parts for The Sims Medieval

It's lightweight and runs on both Windows and Linux (macOS support planned). For Windows, .NET Framework 4.0 and GTK# 2.12 are required (check the download's instructions).

Do note that this tool has not been 100% tested due to scarcity of testers (the tool is very niche); please be patient and explain whatever issue there is to me.

  • pljones (Provided the s3pi library which serves as the basis of this tool and many other Sims 3 tools)
  • CmarNYC (Her code for TS3SimRipper helped with applying patterns to textures and displaying morphs in the 3D renderer; the code for her Meshing Toolkit for importing/exporting OBJs and WSOs was also borrowed)
  • MonoChaos (Provided the icon for the tool and helped test the tool for issues)
  • zoe22 (Helped with issues related to the s3pi library and provided some code for object meshes)
  • VirtualHugs (Helped with explaining things related to CASPs; I'm not a mesher, so her advice was incredibly helpful)
