I try to make a normal mesh in Milkshape and i have version 1.8.5,when i go in game,when i slide it to FAT or THIN or MUSCULAR,the mesh turn to normal again, i know it because of the morph thingy so that's why i need help !!!

Maybe if the last person that used the cristal ball, is so kind to put it back in place, we will be able to help you with your morph thingy.

In other words Nhut1000, give us more info!
What is "normal"
What is it you want to do?
What did you do?
What meshes you used?
What programs you're using?

-What i mean is i export the mesh and edit it in Milkshape
-I just want to make the dress longer and alittle wider
-I move the vertex at the bottom of the dress and move it downward to make the mesh longer
-I use afBodyDressEmpireSun_lace
-I use TSR Workshop(2nd latest) and Milkshape and that's it

OK, you're using TSRW, but for the edit you want to make, I really recommend CTU.
Take a look at this tutorial from CmarNYC:

http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=397260 Clothing meshing for dummies

Follow her first lesson about making a shirt longer, import only your base mesh.
Than use lesson 2 to make your mesh wider.
Now import the morphmeshes, and like magic you will see that they take the new shape without you having to do anything else, except exporting all the meshes!
The only thing to remember is not to add or delete any faces/vertices or you even will not be able to import the morph meshes.

Thank you, i will try to learn it, if i have any question can i ask you ? and when we make the mesh wider or longer by scale tool does it add vertex to the mesh ?

No, the scale tool doesn't add or remove vertices, it just moves them.

Just want to add that if you make the dress alot longer you need to edit the boneassignements on the vertices you pulled down.




he doesn't have to export the morphs(or import)
It is just to see a preview of the gamemorphs in Milkshape

You are right BloomsBase, you only import/export the actual morphmeshes if you want to use them for other meshing stuff.

huh? i don't understand what BloomBase said ? Can i ask you guy another 3 unrelated question from clothing ? Is Hair Meshing Hard ? How can we make fringe/bangs for hair? what program do hair creator use ? I'm happy if you reply on it

Hair meshing is very hard. It's slow and annoying and fiddly, and you should definitely try to master clothes before jumping to hair. You won't get far with hair if you're willing to quit a project when you get stuck or frustrated.

thanks for answering , nope i not trying to quit i'm just asking because before i really want to make hair and stuff so yeah...but i find that's it harder than making clothes...

You should practice with clothes first, simple edits to begin. Then you can try with accessories, it's the easiest way to learn about meshing, uv maps and adapting them to function in game. And after long practice you can try with hairs, you need advanced programs like 3D Max if you want nice results. Hairs are the hardest thing to work with!

Thanks ANUBIS !!! You my fav hair creator or i mean texturerer i'm so happy that i can talk to you i'm your fan...sorry for over acting...I don't understand what UV map is...i saw them some where but idk wat it is...can you explain ? Ok, so i have to like try to mesh clothes first become hair creator is a long way

This means if you're only moving vertices around to make clothing longer or wider, you don't have to make a new morph at all. If you use CTU to make a new clothing, when you import your new base (normal) mesh CTU will automatically link it to the original game clothing morph, which should work fine. You can import the game morphs into Milkshape as Cocomama described if you want to preview how the morphs look and/or if you find you need to modify the morphs after all.

Bone assignments control how the mesh moves as the sim walks, sits, etc. Each part of the sim's body is a 'bone'. If you make a short dress into a long dress, for example, you need to change the bone assignments at the bottom from the thighs to the lower legs. If it's not such a big change you probably don't have to do this.

Ok , so if i want to do a long dress how can i add boneassign ?

This tutorial is for Sims 2 but it's the same method: http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=179177

Look for Part 5: Bone Assignments.

You'll need to compare your skirt with a long skirt from the game - load the game skirt, select vertices in the lower part of the skirt, and look at the bone assignments with either the Unimesh Bone tool or the Milkshape Bone weights tool. (Unimesh should be in the Vertex menu - I think it's Fix Underweighted Bones. The Milkshape tool is in one of the tabs on the right - I don't have Milkshape on this computer and can't look right now.) Then load your skirt and modify the bone assignments for vertices in the same locations so they're similar.

OK thank you so much for helping me
