Mesh Help

Maybe I should downgrade SimPE, although I was still able to follow along with the version I have.  I really don't want to lose the compatibility with Nightlife.

I'm at work right now, but when I get home I'll upload the files.  In the meantime, let me give you guys some more info.  

When following Brianna's Tutorial, I took an existing clothing mesh and modified it using Milkshape.  I then followed the rest of the steps in the tutorial and placed the new mesh in my downloads folder.  When I loaded up Bodyshop, the new mesh wasn't there.  I'm pretty sure I didn't miss anything.  I truly appreciate the help.

Did you happen to use the mesh tool? Also if you are using simpe 48c it has been noticed that the res and shape isn't noting the change.

But did you associate the mesh with a clothing resource?  You need to clone an outfit using body shop and then update the GMDC reference (specifically the 3DIR tables) in it to point to your "custom mesh".  I think Brianna's tutorial has an example of how to do this.

Yep, sure did.

Hmm. That may be the problem.

Yep, did that too.  Something interesting happened the second time around though.  I went back through the tutorial and made sure the clothing was pointing to the new mesh, then loaded up Bodyshop.  After going into "Create Parts" and "Load Project" the Clothing was Maxis clothing.  

Edit:
I was going to upload the files, but I don't see a link to attach them.

Are you by chance editing the clothing package file in your Projects folder instead of the one in SavedSims?
