zac - the "stretch" is precisely that - if you stretch a mesh it begins to look like a piece of taffy after a certain scale

I used the cheat on a special mesh I'd worked on and the sims developed flaps at the knees like a robot.

Bakajin - that is most likely due to a weighting assignment in the region of the knees - changing the weighting of the problem vertices should correct the visual disturbance -- I'd suggest more weighting towards the thigh or calf depending on which way the flap was pointed.

When making a custom mesh, there will be issues of course, certain meshes are never going to work for this sort of cheat.  Also, some meshes will work, but only within limitations.

As a rule, I try to construct my meshes with vertex weights in close parity with Maxis meshes to avoid deformities.

The people that made the Maxis assignments are experienced professionals. And the animators designed the animation to work correctly with assignments that were used. You would need to think about changing both to do something special (such as Marvine's dancer).

Talking about assignments sparked my thinking. I thought I'd kept things close to Maxis meshes however I can guess a couple of places where I could have created the problem. Thanks.

I hadn't done anything different with the weights. I think I may have just simply made them too short. I'm going to use a different number for the median height, rather than 6' or 5'10" (180 or so cm)

5 feet 4 inches is around a 0.914 if 5 feet 10 inches is the maxis hieght.

I am in SimPE and have done everything the tutorial says to do, but when I bring up the resource tree and click on age data, nothing comes up.  It's like I don't have CPF editor or something.  Please help.

dneill, you need to reset your layout. It’s in the top left of the icon toolbar, the blue disc image with the red X on it.
