Accessory Weirdness
BlooM:
I had some problems with the rings at the time, seems to me you can have only have a maximum of 15 custom accesoires installed.(based on the glasses)
But prolly not the case here.
I cant believe they work ok when you take them out of the downloadfolder tho...there must be a mesh installed somewhere. :)
Might be a saved sim that was wearring them.

That's what I thought, but my downloads folder is super-tidy and I know exactly what is in every sub-folder... believe me, there's nothing I cannot identify. I recently weeded out all those annoying packages with just strings of numbers too; most were just duplicated outfits from years ago, some saved Sims and the rest I took a chance on removing, so far without any obvious side-effects.
As for the saved Sims, I re-cloned the ones I liked, one by one, and re-named their packages so that I can identify them as files in future. I deleted all the old ones.
So you see, I've thoroughly explored all the obvious possibilities, and still nothing makes sense. I can't even say that taking a look at the files in SimPE would enlighten me as I wouldn't know what to look for. Besides, these items work correctly for other folk, so perhaps it's something to do with the porting for the Mac.
BlooM:
i never had the blue accesoires, it normally doesn't accur, only when you move arround the meshes.
For the sandals, i can update the files with the correct names and links to see if that helps?
Wich ones are you using?

Thanks Bloom. When you say 'move around the meshes' do you mean physically putting the meshes into a different location in the Downloads folder? I do try to keep things tidy so, anything new that I download goes into a temporary folder then, when I'm sure I like it, I move the meshes and textures into separate, permanent folders. But it's been quite some time since I installed your footwear items.
I have a suspicion it may be the texture files that cause the problem on my system. You might remember my earlier post about alpha mesh glitches, where the problem was solved by re-building the raw32 bit textures with DXT3 or 5 - it seems my graphics card doesn't like the raw32 bit textures that BodyShop produces, unless they are on a bog-standard chunky Maxis mesh!
I don't know about your sandals/slippers textures and I can't get at SimPE to test my theory, as my wife took her Windows lap top to work with her! Maybe next week.
Anyway, to answer your question, there are three meshes I use by you with your original textures, no re-colors:
Bloom_Sandals_Mesh.package
Bloom_NTsandals_Mesh.package
Bloom_slippers_Mesh.package
BlooM:
uhm, bodyshop doesn't generates 32 bit textures, only raw8bit for the normalmap.
Others are DXT1,3 and 5.
Yes, by moving your files arround in the downloadfolder, well more in the subfolders.
If im not mistaken all files get stored/linked(registred) in one of the cache files.
Those caches normally get updated when moving files arround but some files(and i think accesoires is one of them) get ignored.
So if you moving those meshes arround make sure you delete your caches!
Same story when you assigne the shoes to a sim and save the game, delete your caches when moving the files in diffrent folders.
I have no idea why some files get automaticly updsated and others not, maybe due some internal namechanges of the files.
But i have no intrest to examine them all....
