Ohmigods, no way! LAST NIGHT I was thinking I had to make a catapult or a trebuchet soon... You just saved me hours of hard work. Thank you so much.

It's beautiful.

I'm sure if she was browsing this forum and stumbled across this, she'd have a serious freaked out moment. It's wonderfully realistic. I recognised her before I saw the name, and I don't even know her face that well!

Yaaaay!!! I almost cried when I had to euthanise my cube. This will make up for it nicely. *glomps*

Yay! They're beautiful!

Make me a weighted companion cube, and I'll love you forever. I already have a card one about two inches across on each side sitting on top of my computer. Having one for my sims would be about as wonderfully geeky as I could stand.

Awesome, this is just what I've been looking for for some of my very unsual fantasy sims. Thank you SO much! You have made my day! *attacks with hugs and props etc*

Thank you both. I'm not sure what the PJSE thing is, so I shall try the other thing, but thank you for your time to answer my question, both of you. Right, let's see if I can actually get more than a few steps in this time! Yay!

*is stupidly excited as I have no homework due tomorrow, so I have all evening to play with sims stuff*

Okay, so I'm still following one of the tutorials here, and I'm now here:



Only, when I opened Sims04, and found the right file, there was no sign whatsoever of the export button, which had been nice and obvious for the previous step, and I've searched pretty much every clickable thing in sight, and can't find anything that might work.

Any help? I would be eternally grateful... *sighs*

I'm not normally such a n00b... :sad3:

One day I am sure I will be able to make a mesh! Theoretically I can't keep being put off it forever, can I?

Oooh, thanks! I am forever in your debt, or something.

There wasn't a URL when I got the message. I know, because I clicked on things several times, just to make sure. I think I've just about memorised the error message.

Okay, I am completely new at editing meshes for the Sims (although I have used Milkshape before, but that's beside the point)... Anyway, I was following one of the lovely tutorials here (This One) as a good starting point, and I got to step 6 or so, where you find the mesh you need (I think), and when I tried to open it, I got a big angry warning yelling at me, saying, "WARNING: You need to install MANAGED DirectX!!!"

*well, maybe without the exclamation marks, but the capitaliation is all true to word*

Anyway. That is where I am stuck...

Anyone else have this problem? Or, better, know what I can do about it?

*looks hopefully around*

Thanks.

(Man, this bit of the forum is so near the bottom it's a wonder anyone might come down here. Maybe they're lost when they do? )
