Sims Bustin' Out to Sims4 Miss Gyrotic Conversion

Are you obsessive enough to want robot options for the Sims4 from prior Sims games, even if those options are from games so old that they look oddly out of place?  I know I am!

Miss Gyrotic is your robot monkey butler from the Sims Bustin' out!  And now you can have her back as a full body outfit any Sim can wear.  

COULD I have made the texture a better fit for the Sims4?  I guess I could have.  But then that would go against the authenticity of the mesh and it wouldn't look delightfully out of place!

As it stands, however, the mesh DID have to be modified to work with the Sims4 skeleton quite a bit more than I thought it would have.  The lower legs and lower arms had to be moved so those joints didn't look broken.  And all the various parts that make up this mesh were actually separate shapes.  For best effect in the game they all had to be merged together.  And the hands represent a compromise too.  They just aren't meant to be attached, but the "fingers" also don't work with a regular human skeleton.  So I had to do some creative mapping - meaning that sometimes the hands look off.  

I suppose the overall lesson is that sometimes meshes cannot be converted without some compromises, especially when they're about 15 years old!

Gyrotic is actually an odd sort of evolution for the Sims robots.  Sims1 had your robot butler in a male seeming build.  Then Sims for Gamecube had a monkey butler.  So, I guess for this game, they merged the two ideas and made Miss Gyrotic a robot monkey butler.  I'm guessing they made her female to even things up a bit.  That name, though.  

I'm dead certain her design was referenced when they made Optimum Alfred for Sims2 DS.  Not only is it visually similar, but Alfred acts like an animal (drinking out of the toilet for no real reason).  Just for that I really want to put him into my game as well ... but it seems like Sims2 DS is just unrippable.  I really wish it weren't but I think I'm the only person anywhere who would want to inert those graphics into my game.

Update Dec 21, 2018

I did some experiments with the texture that wound up making her shinier.  I also added hot and cold tags and the proper gender setting.  If you liked it before, though, you can keep it.

Update July 15, 2019
I've made this shiny again.  What was I thinking removing the shine for so long?

Update June 8 2020
Removed the human tag.
