Is that extra DOS window always supposed to be there when you use Blender? First I got it with the error messages of not finding the Python, and when I installed the Python, the DOS window still opens basically saying that everything is fine, but if I close it, the whole Blender closes. Is there no way to close that DOS window, or to stop it from popping up in the first place?

Ignorantbliss,
it's always there at least for me,
it's a sort of log that registers everything you import and export, too
I just minimalize and ignore it you can always hope it'll get the message and go away by itself

Ahh, ok then, I guess I'll just have to live with it. Good to know it's not a malfunction, at least.

I think that's because recently the JWoods tutorial topic was accidentally moved to another forum and then back. Someone will have to change the old links to link to the new one .

This link should work: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=104795

In that same link there is a Milkshape tutorial (that's the original one, the Blender and others were added later on)

Lethe, would you fix the broken link in the first post leading to the JWoods object tutorial? The thread was accidentally moved a while ago and now all links to it are broken.

i tried to do the table but every time i do the first few stages of using uvmapper (you know the one when you load the the table and it shows the table), it says there is no tabletop, one of the materials are missing and my hair is being pulled out, what should i do?

Are the groups there before you get to the uv-mapping part?

rar files are like zip files (only different)
You can either search download.com and get a rar extractor
or get q-xpress and click the q-xpress link to download using it:

Xeek,
the installer probably placed it in your downloads folder
go to my documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Downloads and arrange the contents by 'type', you should find the .pdf faster that way

Laigonaz,
firstly, what version of blender are you using?
secondly, you're doing the JWoods tut? Ok that's kinda confusing but do this for us:
in blender, go back to the part where you had two meshes (hopefully you've saved that as a blend file)
in object mode, select, in turn, each mesh and check the materials on them, one should be 000, the other 001
if this isn't correct, take of all materials (press the little delete button) of both meshes and start over

Laigonaz,
those are the right formats, but, umm, that wasn't what I was asking
you Are using Blender, aren't you? In that case, check the version for me. It comes up on the title screen when you start the program. Probably 2.41 or something. I need to know this to help you.

Xeek,
umm, what the indeed None of these files need bodyshop
ok, you installed Q-xpress, yes?
then all you have to do is click the 'Q-Xpress install' link right next to download of your choice (word or pdf tutorial)
it will pop up in your queue in the Q-Xpress installer
simply push the 'install' button and you'll find the document in your downloads folder
If you can't read the pdf, either get the word document (assuming you have MS Word, of course) or get a good pdf reader, such as Foxit reader

Whoo! I was doing great till i got to the Fire Up SimPE part >.>;

I have SimPE, the latest version, but i havn't a clue what to open to get that Craftmaster Booknook. ^^;
EDIT:
Oh Yeah, i come from the wide world of Unreal Ed.. You never mentioned anything about snapping to the grid, but atleast i got around to figuring out Shift-S.. Is there anyway to Rotate by a set number of Degrees? Like only by 45's?

Vicious,

for the SimPE part, I'd like to refer you to the Object Start to Finish Tutorial. There's a Blender version of that as well. If you're already familiar with the modelling bit, just skip those parts.

For the rotation, that's a good question. I've never found anything like the Milkshape box where you enter the number of degrees, but you can have some control. If you hold Ctrl (hehe) while rotating, it rotates per 5 degrees.
