Making Custom Statues

[Sheyanne]

Hi,I'm Very new to modding in Sims 3. I've done some very basic mods,such as custom Sims,houses,ponds,& pools for my own personal use. What I would like to know is it possible to make custom animal statues in Sims 3?
What I'm looking for is a statue of wolves, & some kind of large cat like a cougar,or bobcat,or something like that. But I'd like to have them look as realistic as possible.
I know someone modded the Jurassic park dinosaurs and they look very nice.
I'd like something like that but have it be wolves & a large cat of some kind.
I'm willing to help but I've very little knowledge & currently am not using hardly any modding programs as I don't know what I'm doing with them. I also do not currently have Sims 2. Can anyone help?
If I've posted this in the wrong place,I'm sorry & will attempt to Correct my mistakes as this is the 1st. time I've ever posted here.
Thank you.

Well your going to have to be willing to do more than help, your going to have to be willing to do it all since there are no requests allowed here. =) I'd recommend having a read through Tutorials:TS3_Basic_Object_Creation and start with something easy like creating custom paintings to get an idea how to create for the game and getting your cc to work. Then you can move up to creating new objects that you've meshed. If you follow the start to finish version by ellacharm3d it goes over setting up your tools, game files, and the meshing/mapping, etc.
