This tutorial covers every step I used to convert an outdoor TS2 plant mesh to TS3. It is important to use similar items when converting objects so your converted object will behave in a similar way. Clone plants for plants, clone dressers for dressers, beds for beds, etc.

For this Tutorial I used Macarossi's outdoor Dragon Tree from her Desert Landscape collection. TS3 outdoor objects are not clonable so use indoor plants - I used the TS3 indoor ivy ball topiary as the clone. Even though Macarossi's Dragon tree mesh doesn't have a second color, I will show you the steps to create a second color variation for the package.
