Mesh Help
nbny:
Uhhh... Yeah. Somehow I get the feeling that I'm not supposed to do that....
Can I replace the one in my Saved Sims folder with the one in my Projects folder?

Yeah, Body Shop doesn't read the package files from your projects folder...it reads them from the Saved Sims folder. That's why you're only getting the original Maxis stuff showing up.

Okay, I replaced the package file in my Saved Sims folder with the modified one from my Projects folder and now the original mesh is showing. However, my mesh is not. What did I do wrong?
sorry for the double post earlier...

I think the first thing to do is confirm that the right package file is getting loaded. Go in and change the texture to some outrageous shade of pink or something, save it, and see if it shows up in body shop. If it doesn't you're still picking up another package file from somewhere.
The other thing you can do, nbny, is put the mesh file RIGHT IN the clothing file. SimPE will let you "File | Add" once package file to another. Brianna's tutorial instructs you to keep the mesh file separate, but there is really little need to do this unless you want to distribute the mesh independently of the textures. That way, once you determine that the right package file is being loaded by Body Shop (by using the trick I mention above), you also know that your mesh is being loaded (because it lives in the same file!). If it still isn't showing up at that point, then you at least know that the problem is due to an internal referencing error, and not something silly like a file is in the wrong place.

Well, I didn't have a problem with this part. I was able to change the color of the texture, and the color change showed up in Bodyshop with no problems.

Okay, as per your suggestion, I tried this too. Like I said, the color shows up just fine, but it is still referencing the old mesh.
Jase, is there a way I can send you the file and have you take a look at it?
