You need a thingy for the thingy? Well, that's descriptive...

Seriously though, when you have error messages and popups, you need to screenshot them and post pictures, or record the exact text of the error message. I don't generally know what a "thingy" is, and my crystal ball's a little foggy today.

However, I'm going to make a wild guess and say that since it's on step 30 with the GMDC, it's probably giving you a DirectX error - you need the managed DirectX extensions to work with GMDCs - it's listed on SimPE's site when you go to download it, under "Needed software to run SimPE."

Go to the SimPE site. Go to "Download." Look under "Needed software to run SimPE." It'll have the managed DirectX 9 as well as .NET (which you have to have to run SimPE in the first place, so that one you already have).

Um, yes, it's the site linked at the beginning of the tutorial. Follow that link up there at the top of this tutorial.

Uhm, well, we expect people to uhm, TRY THINGS and like... you know, figure it out. How can you be asking if the link is the one for SimPE? If you clicked it, the answer would be obvious.

If you're not willing to do stuff like that, to TRY things and find out - this tutorial is NOT for you - because we're going to expect you to read and keep trying things and THEN ask questions if you can't figure it out.

If it's an error message for SimPE, I suggest you ask for help at the SimPE forum and take a screenshot (or copy down EXACTLY what it says)

Is this also what i would do if i wanted to edit a mesh, like for eg. Changing the shoes on certain pants or is this just the way to do it for the particula thing (removing the thing on the dress)

Terminal, Meshtool will only allow you to make small changes to meshes - moving the danglything in, making larger breasts, smaller waist, etc. - however, you cannot make major changes to a mesh like adding/removing parts or even moving vertices very far. For major changes, you need to use the Unimesh plugin - we have a tutorial that introduces you to its use also available here.

Nope, these are the tools you need, no matter what you need SimPE -- and then milkshape or xsi modtool (free, but large to install).

Next it's time to edit your mesh. Go to the next message for the rest of this tutorial.


I did not understand most of this. I'll still have a go though. If I get stuck can I ask you for help?

MMisindahouse,

1) This is not a chat room, people aren't going to respond immediately, especially when you don't even ask concise questions for the most part. Posting again is called 'bumping' and is considered rude board behavior. I was cleaning up your first post at the time you came back and bumped again.

2) You quoted the entire tutorial (which I just edited down). This thread here if you read... is exactly for asking questions about the tutorial - and _nothing else_. Quoting back the entire tutorial and asking if we'd answer questions is not a question. The tutorial is specific about that too... you will need to ask specific questions - you will need to try to follow the tutorial step by step (understanding of this very complex stuff comes through time and experience) and ask questions _when you actually get stuck_... and you'll need to explain exactly what step you were on, what you did, what happened next, etc.

Btw, if you haven't done basic clothing recoloring, I suggest you do that first, as the tutorials say.

3) For other sorts of help, you need to find the other areas of the site to find the answers to your questions....

If you had looked at your account preferences, you would have also found stuff about your AVATAR, which is the graphic.

If you need game help, there's an area about that too, which includes info about downloading. There's also 'creator guidelines' with info about how to get your packages ready for uploading if you want to share something you made here http://www.modthesims2.com/forumdisplay.php?f=338

BUT if you have any questions not related to this tutorials' steps, you need to go at least to the main bodyshop or skinning areas and start a new thread and ask your question. If you're not sure you're posting in the right place, say so, and it's more likely a staff will move it for you or explain instead of just deleting it.

im stuck on part one no. 8, everytime i type in the name of my package and press start SimPE looks for just a couple of seconds and then nothing comes up, i've checked back on all the steps and i've done it all, is it because i have a different version of simpe?

Well first, you should use the most recent SimPE, it always has fixes/improvements.

But I suspect you did not type in the correct name for the package. Note that we didn't type in the color description part, we only typed in 'afbodydresslongloose' in the example. It's a search, you can type in only part of the name (you will get more results) but that should help you.

Let me know if that helps. Also, double check your SimPE preferences and make sure everything there points to appropriate directories, if the name wasn't the issue.
