I make stuff with sims 2 body shop but it doesnt look realistic or 3-D like the stuff you can download?? Why?

Question

It looks more painted on and retarded than 3-D with nice shading. I use twisted paint pro (paint program) and the only things i can make is shirts because i copy and paste patterns onto the shirt or pants. Please tell me how to make it look real. What program. Thank You!

I'm no expert, but you probably need a mesh. Otherwise, the texture does not have a form to be on. You need a 3-D model program. Milkshape is a popular one, and you can download a trial for free. I've used PPModeler in the past, and its full version is free.

You can make your own mesh, or use an existing one. You could take a Maxis mesh and recolor/retexture it. You could also, with permission, use a mesh that another creator designed.
