If you got the most current version that might help. All those errors you're clicking through right at the start of loading the model shouldn't be there. Wes, I'm not sure what's up with the link you provided to Milkshape in your OP...maybe it's just down temporarily?...in any case it didn't take me to the Milkshape site...just a small detail but I thought I'd mention it. <sorry>

The first post where he talks about that is post #24. Start there and if you're still having trouble figuring it out keep reading through the thread. Also read through the entire thread that I linked to above. At this forum much of the important information shared is in the thread below the initial post not only in the first post of the thread.

If you want the yellow and blue to go away go to the joints tab and unclick "show skeleton". Also, you may be interested in the new work Wes and Rothn have done with animating. You can get the download here: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=420327&c=1
