Hi,
an .obj file is perfectly fine to import into a Sims2 package. The best thing to do is follow a general object-making tutorial. Once you are comfortable with the process you will see that it does not matter whether you use an in-game mesh or an external mesh. With the exception that in Milkshape you import it via the .OBJ importer and not the sim2 importer that's used for GMDCs exported from the package files.
