Sims 3 - Custom Animations aren't playing properly.
joewinko:
I'm basically having problems with the custom animations I created with milkshape and sims 3. They're working but they aren't exactly working right.
I followed this tutorial on youtube on how to make custom animations with the sims 3 (its a tutorial involving milkshape):

I followed all the steps and the revised steps from the second tutorial vid, and the animations were able to play in the sims 3 but they didnt play correctly. For example, this animation:
This is how it played in milkshape and how i wanted it to play in the sims 3 (notice how high the right arm swings up):

but when i imported it in the sims 3 and tried playing it, this is how it turned out:

The probelm is that the arm isn't swinging up high enough like it did in milkshape. Is there anyway to fix it so it plays exactly like it did in milkshape? What is causing this problem?
Please help?

can someone help me fix this?

Might be the same problem I've had with the TS2 skeletons. Some of the joints can be moved just fine in Milkshape, but the movement in those particlar joints don't translate to ingame. The collarbone joint is one of those for the TS2 skeleton.
Avoiding those joints is the only solution I've found.
It might also be that you've not set the keys properly. If you move joints after setting the key, you have to set the key again before it works, or the animation resets.

you're probably right :/ there may be another way to bypass it though by hacking the game files so the joints can move in the game. not sure how to do that though.
