Is not that easy, you still need programming experience to parse properly the file formats and attempt the conversion, im not skillled enought to achieve that..
 
Looks like BMF is a 1:1 mapping of MESH with a skin and texture name instead of a version, same with SKEL and (approximately) ANIM. The only thing is that .cmx.bcf implies a rather confusing content system where animations are packaged with skeletons. So yes, looks sort of easy if you want to try it.

thank you RHY， excuse me i'm a straightforward person
PS：i want to know what definition is the "legal uses" of you said?
if write a windows app not a "legal uses"，that you made freeso is a "legal uses" also? so convert TSO skins are not "legal uses"，if that's，there are no any ALL Sims TOOL are legal uses XD
so i think we should be unite，and i tell you i convert TSO objects and skins are my interest definitely not for commercial purposes
so i think if not for commercial purposes，yes！ that they are some legal uses

We want to be very careful about keeping things within legal bounds so that we can keep the game open. The FreeSO client is entirely legal as it is simply a glorified format reader - no The Sims Online content is distributed with it. We can't distribute game objects that use Maxis materials.

I cant make a try with that, will need to learn about formats firt,s Rhys said is easy for him, because he has good knowledge about the code..

A Mac wouldn't help, peter9g's programs were written for Mac's build on the PowerPC architecture. Modern Mac's use Intel processors and since Rosetta (a core framework in OS X until 10.7, that allowed PowerPC programs to run on Intel processors by translating the binary) isn't present anymore, they can't run PowerPC programs without rewriting them for the Intel architecture.

So basically all the programs for modding TS1 files on the Mac aren't compatible anymore and can't be executed on OS X 10.7 or later.
You'd need a Mac that runs Mac OS X 10.6 SnowLeopard (which is the last version of OS X that included the Rosetta framework) to run peters programs.

To get back to the topic... Since I have a "few" Macs around and since my vacation came to an early end, I could try to setup an old Mac with SnowLeopard. That would allow me to run peters programs again (and the Mac version of TS1) and I could convert the skins and animations for you if that would help you guys.
 
I got an old PowerPC Mac but I left it at my family home because travelling with it across half the country is kinda... hard. :D Too bad I haven't seen these posts two days ago. If by any chance Tirea won't have time to set it up before next month, I'd be glad to help out (I'm going back there on 23rd of December for Christmas holidays).
 
thank everyone，The Sims Online after all a Online Game ，so it always will died although RHY want to revive it by FreeSo and working hard，but i believe TS1 will be fit to revive TSO objects and skins
