Unreadable DDS files

[Mattrio]

Thank you for all these replies

I got 17 files out - two ".dds" files, one ".material" file and 14 ".bnry" files.

It appears the DDS files aren't DDS files at all. Both of them begin with the bytes "14 FE 01 49" while normally all DDS' begin with "44 44 53 20" so unless there's some sort of encryption/compression in there, these are not 'real' DDS files.

EDIT: And that's exactly what the error message "DDS Magic Number invalid.  Got 0x4901FE14, expected 0x20534444 ('DDS ').  At 0x00000004." you got tells us.

The DDS files are texture files for sure.

apparently .bnry are .dds

Other solution : Dolphin Emulator with option dump textures.
Or this program : https://github.com/s4ptacle/Sims4Tools

BNRY are not DDS files in MySims files, they are models and code files. I can use Dolphin for textures dumping yeah, but there are a lot of unused resources in the game files, such as a whole unused area, so I'd like to get these too.
And S4PE is not able to open MySims Kingdom packages, only S3PE can do that. What is needed is writting wrapper for DDS files in S3PE.

Also, someone here wrote a script to extract models from MySims Agents packages on 3ds Max, perhaps something in it will be useful to understand MySims files?

Code:

gc()
enableSceneRedraw()
clearlistener()

global globalStartTime = timestamp()
global globalImportedFilePath = ""
global globalBoolApplyNormals = false
global globalBoolApplySkinning = false
