how to edit someone's custom mesh?

[iiStrawberreh]

before you ask, yes i have asked for permission;

so, can you maybe make a tutorial or something to show me how to edit someone's custom mesh?
i'm sure LOTS of people wanna know how to edit a really nice mesh that someone has made.

If you mean how to edit files in SimE:
You edit it almost exactly the same way as you'd edit a maxis mesh. To clone a custom file, just click "open" (and open the custom file you want to edit) instead of "start" in the clone menu, and you've got it going.

If you don't know how to edit maxis meshes, then I suggest you go look up some tutorials, since there already are plenty of them.

If you mean how to edit custom meshes to get them ingame:
There already are plenty of tutorials on how to make or edit custom meshes. Depends on what mesh you want to use, and what you want to use it for. If you learn how to edit maxis meshes, then you'll also learn how to edit custom meshes by others.

Modthesims has a lot of beginner tutorials. So does GoS. Here at Insim there are more spesific tutorials.

What clone menu...?

Do you know how to create a mesh package with SimPE (using a maxis/EA mesh)? If you don't know, I suggest you go to find a beginner tutorial. It's good to know the basics first, and you'll be quite helpless if you try figuring it out on your own without a tutorial...

yes haha.

i know how to edit a maxis mesh..i have made a few meshes before
but i just want to edit someone elses mesh

Like I said, you use "open" instead of "start". Other than that it's pretty much the same.
