I'm having a bad problem with this animation I made in the sims 2. i did a video of exactly what's going on:

how do i fix this? i also tried remaking the animation over and over again but that didnt work either. it keeps goofing up like that. and it doesn't have any 180 degree turns either on any of the joints.
I also made sure to select 'origin' and 'local' when i was rotating the joints in milkshape.

what is causing this?

please help

That's weird. Can you post the milkshape file?

here's a link to the milkshape file and the .5an file:

I wasn't able to fix it with the usual ways of repairing animations. I wonder if something happened to this skeleton to break the bones in some way. When you started over, did you use a new copy of the Sims skeleton or reset this same file?

i actually used the same file.

UPDATE:
i got it fixed now. i used a different copy of the skeleton to remake the animation. the skeleton file from the first one must have been corrupted i guess.

Glad you figured it out. Yeah the skeleton corruption happens sometimes. I've run into it too.
