24th May 2012, 10:33 PM	Accessory Mesh Floating Above Sims Head ? #1
Khalil Original Poster Test Subject Join Date: Sep 2011 Posts: 8	Hi guys and girls, I've been working on a mesh and I've run into a problem... Like the title states my what is supposed to be necklace is floating above the sims head instead of resting on the sim. I've run into this problem before with another mesh, but I can't remember for the life of me what I did to fix it The mesh looks fine in Milkshape and the preview window for SimPE, but as soon as I open it in Bodyshop... Up it goes Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That's the only thing I can think of, especially if it looks fine in MilkShape. The bones probably need to be set to "clavicle" or something like that; if they're set to something like "head", you might get some weird effects.

I also assigned the bones to neck first and then to spine 2 after and It still didn't work. I have a feeling that I may have to start over Edit: Also, this mesh is meant to be a rosary, but the main chain is the only thing showing up. Not the single chain or the cross parts. Any idea why ?

Does your recolour package have provisions for the extra mesh parts? If not, they won't show up.

If you need extra meshgroups, read this tut i wrote a few years back: http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,51352.0.html

The skeleton is messed up.
Im pretty convinced i see a child one or a adult scaled out of proportions.

I imported a female adult mesh and then the necklace.
should be fixed now.
