I'm still reading through all the messages, in case it's been answered, but can't find anything. No matter how many times I try this there's no change to the mesh, and it's getting a little irritating as I'm not sure where I've gone wrong... any help?

EDIT after a long tie I found a thread with the help I was looking for. I will try again and see if it works.

The thread is here

I tried your tutorial and everything went fine until I had to check for the mesh in bodyshop.bodyshop crashed and even after deleting all the files bodyshop nor sims 2 will open.the first time it did it I reinstalled the game and everything worked fine.I really want to learn meshing and I would like to know what i'm doing wrong to cause the crashing.

nocturnal_kaos - Try deleting your groups.cache, cigen.package, accessories.cache (if you have one) in your My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\ folder, and the entire contents of your Thumbnails folder under that (should be about six files). If you still have trouble, please try the Game Help section.

Would I be able to use Milkshape 3D 1.7.10?
Great tutorial by the way, can't wait to try it out!

now it works fine.what am i doing wrong because i really want to learn meshing.
although i don't want to destroy my computer

Pinelle - That will work fine.

nocturnal_kaos - Well you say it works fine now, so I have no idea what you're doing wrong as I'm assuming the crashing has stopped. Just making Body Shop crash isn't going to harm your computer, but you need to explain what's happening/not happening now.

both the game and bodyshop are working perfectly fine.i'm gonna trying the tutorial again to see what i did wrong.okay i think i might have found the problem when i was getting the afbodydresslongloose_untagged0_shpe there is another shape that popped up in darkened letters, so i probably clicked on that instead of the one i needed.i went through the step up to checking it in bodyshop and everything is working.thanks for the tutorial and the help

Okay, i got this going fine until the meshing part. and my problem is so stupid. I don't know where to find that file you said to open. how do i create that file?

Wow, it was challenging but I got through this and even with the right result! *proud of self* I seem to have newer version of every program used here, so a couple of times I had to improvise a bit to find what I needed. But it worked.

Super_yoshi: You mean on the 33. where you have to open a file with Milkshape? Remember the project/working folder you created on the SimPE part where you extracted those four files on? It's there, just go and look!

*takes a deep breath and proceeds to meshing tutorial 2*

Um, I think I might have did something really bad.
I screwed up somewhere along the way and at the end when I tried to click on my "creation" body shop just froze. So, I deleted everything and decided to start over. But, now, when I enter bodyshop again, none of the dresses have that hanging thingy on them. None of them. They look like how they should look when the process is over. And they do not have the custom star on them.
What in the world did I do?

does anyone know to clone parts of the mesh? I'm just a beginner and I don't know squat about meshing.... :S

Please, someone help.

This tutorial is so perfect.
thank you.

Chrizta0000 - You messed up on the Fix Integrity part. Redo that part and make a unique custom mesh, then link it.

PlyrSiaci - You need to actually do the tutorial as-written. Cloning parts of a mesh makes no sense.
