Oh...*facepalm* Something told me it had to do with that. I must've read that thread a thousand times, I even saw Kodiak's post but I thought both only referred to object animations.
Sorry, thanks for your help though.

Edit: Okay, I tried my very best to figure things out on my own but ultimately failed (miserably I may add). The legs are still rotating like they got a mind of their own. Then, when I am able to keep them from rotating(manually editing the rotations in Simpe), the legs still won't do my animation(Once again they do their own thing).
What should I specifically be looking at to fix this? Its the legs that are doing this, so I figured I must be looking at the r_thigh/l_thigh joints. After that though, I am pretty much lost.
Should I look at the walking animations from the Sims 2 to help guide myself?

Chrizta, why don't you attach the file here so we can take a look? I believe manually editing the rotations in SimPE should work.

I missed some information here but as Echo posted.

In Milkshape, I'm betting it's the pelvis and/or hip joints being rotated to far back in some frame. It's easy to mistakenly move a hip or pelvis back when trying to do a walk anim for Sims. The key is to never move them backwards.

If you didn't do it then the program did when it filled in one or more frames.

Sometimes I've even seen it happen hidden in between frames such as 10.5 so it can be hard to locate.

If you manually run the frames and don't see it happening then run it by the half frame by entering the numbers manually. It will then show the half frames.

A suggestion would be to always keep the very first frame as it is and make it the first key frame. Use the second frame as your temporary storage for what will be the actual first key frame. That way until you finish the anim you will have all the joints in the default places. You can then use it in many ways but the main way is, to reset individual joints by using the Milkshape copy and paste selected joints options. It will only show the crucifix frame for an instant while you test it in game. Once you are satisfied with the anim, simply copy paste key frame 2 over to 1, re export and you're done.

I know how frustrating this can be. If you still can't locate it, I would be happy assist in the search, as well.

I Unzipped it but i can't find it in milkshape :S What's wrong

Have you followed all the instructions? You have to put the .dll files into the Milkshape directory, then restart Milkshape.

sorry for bothering you but i follow step by step the instructions and they dont work, milkshape always says that theres nothing to export and that its empty or something like that, i would love if u could help me please!!

Oh thank you very much for this, Wes. I never thort this time would come when I would be exprenced enough to use this
Greatest thanks for sharing

I thank you very much for this &many other great programs you've created. I just don't know where to start at this point . I'm interested in learning animation but I'm confused as to which tutorial i should start with as of now. ,dince some of the old stuff refers to outdated tools so...can you or someone else cast a little light into this matter please . Thanks for any help.

well done looking forword but somthing has happed iv put it in the folder and it is not showing up in my exporter can you tell me what to do? thank-you

its not letting me extract the file to my milkshape3D folder.

thehontry, can you be a bit more specific about what's going wrong? Are you getting an error message? What unzipping program are you using?

it wont let me extract it to my milkshape folder?

then i tried extracting the whole file to my desktop and just placing them all in there...

and it still does not work??

Do you have local admin privileges? It sounds like you're not allowed to write into that directory.

i probably dont?
lol


i guess i will try to go find out how to change that
xD

thanks x

Would this be only for Milkshape, or will it work for Blender, too?

Excellent excellent. Unfortuately, when I save the zip folder in my Programs/Milkshape folder, nothing happens. I go into the Milkshape folder to unzip it, and there's nothing there! When I found it by 'pretending' to save it, (and saw the file there) I tried to extract it but it said there were no files inside. :[ I have Windows Vista.. am I doing anything wrong?

HELP!

FAIL EDIT-

Read the post above. Have the same problem. D: I am the Admin. but sometimes it likes to be stupid... Sorry! ;D I'll try Admin. Priveledges.

i wish there was picture or a video to show me how to take or something this thing to milkshape :-(
i know everything about making anim/poses now but i do only need this thing and i dont know how to get this here to milkshape :-(

Could you explain your question again? I'm not sure I understand what you're after.

@echo
i mean that it would be great if someone could make a tutorial or something about how to put something like animesh exporter to milkshape :-P
because i dont know how to get animesh exporter to milkshape :-(

You mean how to install the plugins? Just extract the zip file contents into your Milkshape folder, and restart Milkshape.

I am coming across some problems. I have downloaded everything needed to create my custom poses:
milkshake, SimPE, and its needed meshes.

Everything seems to go well, until I get ready to export my poses. The program, Sims2 AniMesh ANIM Export show up at all.

Is there any alternative for this? Will the Sims 2 Unimesh Exporter V4.09 work for the game as well?

I also have Windows 7 if that makes any difference.

Well I know to put the zip files in the Milkshape folder and THEN unzip them, but it says "Access denied" I checked my privileges and it says I can "Write" stuff, but it won't let me. I run Milkshape as an adminstrator so is there anything else I can do? I can export it but that box won't show up so I can only save. Any ideas?

Unless you log in with administrator privileges Windows is not going to let you add any new files to the program install folder.

But I do log in as an adminstrator. It's the only account I have on my computer, Windows 7. I logged off and back on to see if that did anything but it didn't.

Here's the image I get when I try to extract:
