How to Use simBuddy

Automatic Detection & Setup

simBuddy automatically detects your game and Mods folders. Custom directory paths can also be configured manually in the preferences.

First-Time CC Scan

On first launch, the add-on scans your Custom Content (CC) folder to create a file index. If it does not run automatically, click SCAN CC to build the index.

Select Save File

Locate and select your game save file (typically found under C:\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves\).

Query & Import

Click the search button to list all Sims contained within the selected save file. Choose your target model from the list and select Import to load the character directly into your Blender scene.

There are currently some issues with image and texture parsing, which will be the primary focus of the next update. I am excited to share this first release version with you all!
