So its probably really rude to start my first post off like this but I really needed some help figuring out what to do with this this thing, I have this python script which is outdated (like for 2.49 but only works with the 32 bit version)
I just want some guidance or help figuring out how to make this for blender 2.78 . Since I have no clue what would be considered " deprecated methods"
The script is for sims 2 and has some problems like duplicating vertices. I just want to make it compatible with the new blender, I also didn’t make the script
Its also to import smd files but the sims 2 kind

#9/12/2007 version 0.3: reAdded importing of normals(results in some duplicate vertices’s but fixes the normal problem, still recalculating them, but this keeps it from merging vertices’s with different normals)
