Title: Underwear is showing up weird
Post by: faiithx on December 28, 2008, 01:06:14 pm
I don't know why but for some reason alot of the undearwear and swimwear in my game is showing up like this:

It's not all of them but alot of them are. If anyone knows why this is happening and what I could do to fix it I would really appreciate it (:

Wow!  That is interesting.  I have no idea since I'm not into meshing but, it looks like 2 body types.

Interesting choice of underwear your Sim has on there. Hah.

This looks like a borked/broken mesh. Is this happening with any underwear/swimwear in general, or with certain outfits?

Lol yeah I just picked the first one that was like it.

It's happening with more than half of the underwear/swimwear but not all of them and I think the ones it's not doing it to require a mesh. So basicly it's doing it to the ones that don't require a mesh.

I deleted the mesh that I thought it was (one from Inbeatz I think, correct me if I'm wrong) and they still show up like this.

I had a similar thing:

The only way you'll find it really is by doing a binary search. Don't forget to check the Saved Sims folder too- in case you have packages there too.

What do you mean do a binary search? And what am I checking in the saved sims folder? Sorry I sound like such an idiot but I'm not really good at this technical stuff (:

Seems like you've got a mesh that's over-riding a Maxis mesh. Fun stuff...

A binary search means manually removing and adding back in CC in small chunks to find the cause of a problem. First, take out ALL of your CC (in your case, first start with clothing meshes (and recolors)) and see if everything works correctly in game. If so, add back in a small portion of your CC, and check again. Repeat this process until you find the culprit. It's tedious as all hell if you have a lot, but it's usually the only way to track down really troublesome conflicts.

...and your Saved Sims folder also contains any CC you've made yourself in Bodyshop, including storing copies of meshes at times.

Yes, Jenna has it. :)
Also, this may help:

If you do have any files in your Saved Sims folder, you would probably find it easier to put them into the Downloads folder whilst you do the binary search.
