Modding support?

[Suppersine]

I wonder whether your mod reads Sims 1 custom content smoothly like the base game.

To test the stability of your project, I tested M&M's modball, and I found some interesting facts.

1. Even with .iff files present, your engine did not read scripts. I tried putting them both in the "Downloads" (or Gamedata\UserObjects\ ) & the "content\objects" folders. Still, I wonder from which folder the script.iff will run.
2. Even if able to read the .iff file of custom B&B objects, the absence of their 3d conversions make them crash (except for the mattresses, which worked).
3. Your engine usually (if not always) fails to read .bcf files in the "Gamedata\Skins" folder.
4. Your engine cannot read custom animations (.cfp) files.
5. The basegame CC is basically sprites. How do you convert them to 3D models? If so, can I try this on my own in the future?

Simitone is adapted off of FreeSO, which had TSO's much more rigid content loading system (and much better for skins & animations) and I never tested with any CC. If I ever tested mods on this engine, it definitely wouldn't be the one linked...

I don't really know what (1.) means. The game doesn't support freestanding scripts, BHAV scripts must be tied to an object or be (Semi)Global. There may be rules for custom content object overrides that the game doesn't follow (TS2 does this much better with cross-file resource groups. again, TS1 is kind of a huge mess) so if your iff is an object replacement then it's possible the game is just loading the original version.

The game can't crash due to "absence of 3d conversions". The worst thing that can happen is that the game generates an incorrect 3d mesh if the z-buffer wasn't generated by 3d modelling software. If it crashes, it's due to something else.

The base game uses CFP animations (compressed floating point), they are just in FAR archives. The game tries to import extra cfp resources from the Downloads folder.

For remeshing, you should launch the game with the -ide flag, navigate to the object in the browser and then follow 3d remeshing guides:
