Looks like you've got everything you need, except that if you are going to be meshing glasses or other head accessories you need Delphy's SimGeom MTNF and TGI Editor: http://www.modthesims.info/d/372169 if you're using Milkshape to create your mesh. You need the SimGeom Editor for importing the 'bones' of the accessory you're cloning from into the new accessory, or else your game will crash when you try to access the item in CAS - Milkshape loses the bone references on head accessories for some reason. I don't know if Blender has the same problem, I haven't used it, but maybe someone who does will be able to advise on that.

Loads of good tutorials here: http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Sims_3:Modding
