4to3 Growing Together Celebration Cannon as Late Night FX Machine Conversion
One of the objects that I liked from the pack was this cannon and wanted them to be somewhat functional when I converted it to the sims 3. So I thought of cloning the FX Machine from Late Night and replace it with this mesh. Now it's perfect for kids parties and other celebrations! :)
Direct download links: SimFileShare | MediaFire
MTS download page
More info under the cut:
These are cloned from LATE NIGHT FX Machine object. You need it to be installed on your game to function properly.
Original sims 4 price & description.
Can be found in: Buy mode > by function > entertainment > parties
Size: 1x1
Price: $120
There are 6 swatches:
Swatch 1-3: 4 recolor channels
Swatch 4-6: 3 recolor channels
hLOD : 681 poly
mLOD: 382 poly
There is a minor visual problem with the animation angle when changing the delay other than the default value of "continuous". I have tried changing the angle up to the base bone, but it's still can't work properly. So please refrain from changing the the delay on this object, otherwise it just looked a bit funky.

A little news/update
Hello everyone! I wanted to post a little news/update about my conversion projects. With the new EP just around the corner, I prefer conserving my energy and wait after the release date to convert new objects from it. In the meantime, I have been working on converting the Elixir of Life aspiration reward from sims 2. It will be fully functional if you have the fountain of youth store item. It's still not perfect yet, so please bear with me :)

4to3 Monkey Bars as Showtime Chin Up Bars Conversion
When I was converting these Romantic Garden Plants, I saw the monkey bar that comes with the pack. I don't think that they have been converted before, and would love to make them somewhat functional in my game. So I decided to clone the Chin Up Bars from Showtime and replace its mesh with these monkey bars. Now your teen-elder sims can join in with the younger age sims on the playground! They can be found in entertainment > sporting goods.
Full details on my modthesims page.

4to3 Romantic Garden Plant Conversions
Set the valentines day mood with these plants converted from Sims 4 Romantic Garden Stuff! <3 <3
Full details on my modthesims page.
Direct download: simfileshare folder | mediafire folder
Update 18-02-2023 Version 2:
Fixed the green footprint / bounding / placement box issue
Added Perennials for Millennials Wedding Arch version (Requries Generations)
Reverted back to using phong shader instead of counter shader because I found inconsistency in rendering transparency.
A little side note: I believe these items have been converted before by ladesire. This is my version that I made purely from the beginning with recolor options that I wanted.

Ilvansims3conversion 4to3 collection file
This is the collection.package file that goes into your documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Collections > User for my 4to3 conversions. This is NOT a compilation / all-in-one objects file. I will be updating this file and reblogging bi-monthly, so just download the most recent ones. It is perfectly fine if you do not have all of my items, they simply will not show up in the collection catalog :)

How good are you at converting chandeliers? Because I have another request for you: YUMIA's Antique chandelier set! Here's a link incase you're wondering: https://yumia-x.tumblr.com/post/674636095577899008/antique-chandelier-point-light-4-height-5
Hi there! If you are wondering, I have converted outdoor lights before and shouldn’t be too hard to convert them as they behave similarly. Though, I am sorry I have to decline your request as it is not maxis match. I do plan to convert the existing chandeliers from sims 4 someday, so you might want to stay tuned for it instead :)

4to3 Fountain Objects Conversion Pack (17 Items: World Adventures & Showtime Required)
The fountain object catalog could really use some new items, so I tried converting these from sims 4. This conversion pack contains a selection of decorative fountain emitters (e.g. spitting fish & frogs) and lightings that was categorized under the object decoration in the sims 4. :D
Link to my modthesims post
Due to the number of items in this pack, I’ll be making it modthesims exclusive as I cannot possibly post all of the item details one by one here (you’ll notice once you’ve seen the details I wrote there). You don’t need to register to download and it is recommended to carefully check each item details, requirement & known issues (nothing major, just some info on what to look out for). To remedy this, I’m planning on making a collection file of my conversion tumblr exclusive within next week.
Lastly, on a personal note: Happy Chinese New Year everyone. I’m feeling a little burnt and gonna take it easy for the coming weeks. I’ll be posting more conversion around valentines day :3

Conversion process/tutorial for freefall water wall
As inquired by @dailycard​​, I’m sharing the conversion process for my recent creation: Freefall Water Wall. This guide is NOT intended for beginners as I only show what I think the important steps. If this is the first time you tried to make a conversion, I suggest you try something like Pixel Jackpot’s 4to3 wall decor video tutorial first.
This tutorial will cover:
Using counter shader (part C step 9)
Using phong alpha shader and UV scroll parameter (part C step 6-8)
Making occluder shadow (Part D step 4-15)
This tutorial will NOT cover:
Setting up TSR Workshop (TSRW)
Making object mask
Tools used:
1. Older TSRW (I used the 2.0.86.0 version) for:
Cloning TS3 object base item you want to work on
Importing mesh, because sometimes you can get an error when doing this in the newer TSRW
Changing shader
Adding shader parameter
2. Newer TSRW (I used the latest 2.2.114 version) for:
Exporting TS4 mesh & maps
Changing footprint
Changing bones position
Changing occluder shadow
3. Milkshape & its plugin for TSR Workshop 4. Photoshop
Part A. Prepare the required resources. 
A1. In NEWER TSRW:
1. Open the Sims 4 small freefall water wall object. Copy the object’s name,  description & price information to a notepad txt file.
2. Export the object mesh. In my case, there is only hLOD available. Considering the mesh is quite low poly anyway, I believe it can be used for as the mLOD as well. The sunshadow is not necessary whatsoever.
Tumblr media
3. Export the diffuse map of material 1 (fountain body) & 2 (waterfall effect) as png. Material 0 diffuse map is not necessary because it’s just for drop shadow.
Tumblr media
4. Open a similar looking object that has an occluder shadow. I used TS4 Romantic Garden’s Thriumphal Arch of Gluteus Maximus because it has an empty center & covered the upper part (I tested them in game first). Note the value for each of occluder entry (number 3). For this, I just took a photo each with my phone for convenience.
Tumblr media
A2. In OLDER TSRW:
Open a Sims 3 object that fit perfectly against a wall. I used the bookshelf modern high 1x1. Export its hLOD mesh and name it along the line of “Wall Fit Reference Mesh”. I suggest using the older TSRW because sometimes I got an error when exporting in the newer version.
Tumblr media
Part A check list:
Object’s name, description & price in a notepad txt file.
Small freefall water wall TS4 hLOD mesh as wso file.
Fountain body diffuse map as png file.
Waterfall effect diffuse map as png file.
EACH of occluder shadow entries value as notes/pictures.
Wall fit reference TS3 object mesh as wso file.
Part B. Editing the resources. 
B1. In milkshape:
1. Import the small freefall water wall TS4 hLOD mesh. Then import the wall fit reference TS3 object mesh. Your workspace will looked like this:
Tumblr media
2. Go to Groups tab. Double click each of the upper “Group 0″,  “Group 1″, and “Group 2″ to select them.
Tumblr media
3. Go to Model tabs. Choose Move (Number 2). Change the Z value to 0.08 and click Move (Number 3). The waterfall should clip slightly through the reference bookshelf.
Tumblr media
4. Go back to the groups tab. Double click each group again to deselect the upper group 0-2 (Number 1). Select the lower group 0 and click delete. Select the lower group 1 and click delete (Number 2&3).
Tumblr media
5. Export as “hLOD edit”.
Tumblr media
6. Delete the “Group 0″ (red box). Select “Group 1″, rename to “Group 0”.  Select “Group 2″, rename to “Group 1” (green box). Export as “mLOD edit”.
Tumblr media
B2. In photoshop:
1. Import your fountain body diffuse map png file. Your workspace should looked like this:
Tumblr media
2. Add the hue/saturation & levels adjustment layer. 
Tumblr media
3. In the hue/saturation adjustment layer, under the master control I changed the saturation value to -100 and lightness to -15. Save as “multiplier map” in png format.
Tumblr media
4. You can also use the level adjustment layer to tweak its brightness and make the (optional) “specular map” in png format. I didn’t do this step as the lion fountain I’m using as clone doesn’t require it.
5. Make the masking map in png format. This is more of trial & error though, so I will not explain much. Here’s the mask map comparison I created as reference against the original diffuse map:
Tumblr media
Part B check list:
1. Combined these item in milkshape:
Small freefall water wall TS4 hLOD mesh as wso file.
Wall fit reference TS3 object mesh as wso file.
To make:
hLOD edit mesh as wso file.
mLOD edit mesh as wso file.
2. Edited the “fountain body diffuse map as png file” in photoshop to make:
Multiplier map as png file.
Specular map as png file (optional).
Mask map as png file.
3. Unused part A items:
Object’s name, description & price in a notepad txt file.
Waterfall effect diffuse map as png file.
EACH of occluder shadow entries value as notes/pictures.
Part C. Building the object. In OLDER TSRW:
1. Clone the fountain france statue 2x2 TS3 object. Under the project tab, input the object’s name, description & price. Change the item flags. In my case, I do not change anything because I want the waterfall fountain to be found and placed similarly to the lion fountain. Save your project!
2. Go to textures. Choose the 2nd swatch dropdown option. Click on the smaller dropdown option on the left of it and choose delete.
Tumblr media
3. Import your mask map. Do the same to your multiplier & (optional) specular map. Make sure your overlay & stencil maps is empty. You can also change the pattern now or just leave it the same as default. Save your file.
Tumblr media
4. Go to mesh tab. Import your “hLOD edit” and “mLOD edit” mesh.
Tumblr media
5. Select the “Shadow high level of detail”. Click on the generate shadow mesh. Choose the “160 vertices, 92 faces”. In my case, I can do the same for “Shadow medium level of detail”. Ignore the weird white square for now. We will remove it later. Save your file.
Tumblr media
6. Select the “High level of detail” from the drop down menu again (Number 1). Edit the Group 2 material (Number 2). Choose the Phong alpha shader (Number 3). When prompted, choose YES! (Number 4)
Tumblr media
7. Click the blue “+ Add” to show a new property window. Choose the UVScrollSpeed from the drop down menu. Click OK.
Tumblr media
8. Replace the alpha map & diffuse map with “waterfall effect diffuse map” (Number 1&2). Make empty the Specular map (Number 3). Change the UV scroll speed parameter to 0 ; -0,8 (Number 4). When prompted to update the material definition to all LOD, choose YES (Number 5).
NOTE: If the object animation played in a different direction than intended here, change the UV Scroll Speed Parameter to positive or vice versa.
Tumblr media
9. Go back to the main mesh tab, now choose to edit the group 1 material (number 1). Change the phong shader to counters shader (Number 2 & 3). If prompted to use the common values for this shader, choose NO! (Number 4). Click Done (Number 5). When prompted to update the material definition to all LOD, choose YES! (Number 6). Don’t forget to check if the changes has been made in the Medium Level of Detail. Save your file.
Tumblr media
Part C check list:
1. In the “Project” tab: Edited the object’s name, description & price.
2. In the “Textures” tab:
Imported multiplier, specular (optional), and mask map.
Make sure your overlay & stencil maps is empty or disabled.
Change the pattern (optional).
3. In the “Mesh” tab:
Imported hLOD and mLOD edit mesh.
Generated the sunshadow in “Shadow High” and “Shadow Medium Level of Detail”.
Change the Group 2 Material to phong alpha shader, add the UV Scroll Speed parameter to 0 ; -0,8, import the alpha & diffuse map,  and empty the specular map.
Change the Group 1 Material to counter shader.
Part D. Finishing the object. In NEWER TSRW:
1. Open your saved project. Go to the Slots tab (Number 1). Edit the Footprints (Number 2). Select the first 160 vertices (Number 3&4) and click calculate (Number 5). Change the Z value of 0,0114142708 to exactly 0. Change the value of -0,425990343 to exactly -0,425 (Number 6). Click OK (Number 7).
Tumblr media
2. Expand the bones group (Number 1). Select the fountainTop entry to edit (Number 2). Change the Translation Y to -0,1 (Number 3). Click OK (Number 4). Save your project. 
Tumblr media
3. In the Misc tab, change the floor cutout bounds length to 0. This will remove the weird white square from before. 
Tumblr media
4. It’s recommended to create a new save file now as we will be editing the occulders. Expand the lights section and edit the Light 0 to show the Lite Editor Window (Number 1). Manually replace every occlusion entry value with the ones you noted/took photo of (Number 2). In my case the entry listed here is up to 8 occulders while the reference only had 6, so you can just delete the entry 7 & 8 using the - button.
NOTE: When manually inputing the value, use the tab key to quickly switch to the next value. You can also opt out the last zeroes from the value. If the original value was 1,51974000; you can just input 1,51974 and the zeroes will be automatically added after clicking OK.
Tumblr media
5. The occluders should looked like this now. Try familiarizing yourself with each of the occluders by clicking on the light 56 entries one by one before we edit them to fit the object.
Tumblr media
6. This is what I think how the occluder value works. Since I couldn’t find other sources, please let me know if I am incorrect. This is based on our occluder #1. 
Tumblr media
7. Now I want to change the starting point z value so it could fit much better. This whole part is a trial and error process. I changed the value from 0,444477 to -0,1.
Tumblr media
8. Referencing to Pocci’s Blog, for the green note I wrote the value are more accurately called inversely proportional (as in 1/n). For example if I know the height of the object is exactly 3 tiles (n), equate 1/3 and I can input the value 0,3333333 to get the perfect height.
Tumblr media
9. Next, I think the thickness of the object was 1/3 tiles, so using the equation 1/n and input 3 as the Y-axis z value without changing the - mark.
Tumblr media
10. Lastly, I want the pair occluder to be closer, so I changed the pair offset value from 0,733... to just 0,28. Now we are finished with occluder #1.
Tumblr media
11. Let’s jump to occluder #3 as it was the mirror of occluder #1. We can change the value similar to the occluder #1 while preserving the - value only for the orange circle shown below:
Tumblr media
Occluder #3 result:
Tumblr media
12.For occluder #6, the starting point is okay. We just need to change the plane size, shown red below:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
13. Occluder #5 is similar to occluder #6, but with extra step fixing the starting point. Shown red below:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
14. For occluder #2, I wanted to move it to the ground because when placed near the ceiling, the shadow they cast seemed less noticeable anyway. The values changed are shown red below:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
15. For the final occluder #4, you can either delete them or fixing a few value shown red below. They intersect with the ceiling anyway so they won’t be noticeable if you delete them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
16. DONE! Export your file & test in game :)
thanks for @sims3tutorialhub​ for a few initial references I used :3
PS: this tutorial does not fully reflect the final published version of the conversion object I made, i.e. it has 2 more variations than described here.

If you convert to TS3, then how about converting the "Soulful Entrance Door" from "The Sims 4: Vampires" and peacemaker's matching double door and matching arches, with and without the ornamentations? Please see the attached pictures!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hi there! Thank you for your suggestion. If you have permission by the original creators, I would love to help convert them especially those 3 tile arches :) Though I have never converted doors & arches before and currently still finishing the fountains from my first post, so it would take a while.
