Do you want package file with the coat?
Thank you in advance!

Yes, please.

Edit: This looks to me like an arm offset problem. Possibly it's picking up correct arm offsets with some pants but not others. If you look in CAS Tools: Clone Package Editor / General Mesh Manager - you'll see a button saying "Fix Slotray Intersection (arm positioning). Try clicking that button and see if it helps. If it doesn't, please upload the package.

Please do not PM me with mod, tutorial, or general modding questions or problems; post them in the thread for the mod or tutorial or post them in the appropriate forum.

izkusitelna: Got the coat package, so far I've tried a couple of things with no luck. I'll keep trying.

Everyone: We have yet ANOTHER change to the CASP so I'll be uploading a new version hopefully tomorrow.

Yes - I've been updating both CAS Tools and s4pe to be toddler-compatible. Just a little more testing, and I'll upload them tomorrow.

Version 2.4 is uploaded, with support for the 1/12/17 patch and full support for toddlers. Not everything is tested so please let me know of any errors.

izkusitelna: All I can tell you at this time is that it's something in that mesh. I've tried converting and re-autoconverting it with no luck. A converted EA jacket autoconverts with no problems. Everything in your mesh looks okay but there has to be something. I'll keep trying.

Thank you. Maybe the problem is in "Mesh Region Manager" (I added all Regions manually)?

I tried importing the mesh into another package with a standard region map, and tried combining the two meshes into one and importing that into a new package with its own region map. Still had the problem. This is one of the strangest things I've ever seen!

Hi, thanks for the update! But Avast won't let me use this version (says it may be 'dangerous') for some reason and keeps blocking me from running it as Admin. Whenever I keep trying after Avast claims its suspicious, it says windows can't access its location and I don't have permission.

Funny thing is, I let Avast scan for viruses, and it finds nothing (of course), but it won't allow the exe to run, which I've never had issues with when using CAS Tools.

Update: I've gotten Avast to allow it to 'run anyway', but I figured you should know that somehow v2.4 sets it off.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm more inclined to think an update to Avast caused this since I made only changes that shouldn't affect whether it looks like a virus. (And you scanned it with nothing found.)

I'm thinking I may have just been the first person to download v2.4 with Avast running. After a few hours, Avast popped up with an 'all clear', so all is good with it, it seems.

(I just hadn't encountered it doing that before, and it was still fine with previous versions of CAS Tools, so wasn't sure what was going on.)

Could be - I've seen AVs warn on any executable not in their list of known programs, affecting anything with a very small user base or that's just come out. Maybe Avast is just taking it a step further and blocking anything unknown.

I've tried several more things with no luck. The hand by itself works fine, but something in that jacket mesh seems to be disabling the slotray intersection data on that side which normally positions the hand and arm correctly. I can't imagine what it is since I've even converted to obj and back which strips out everything except the position, normals, and uv. Unfortunately I'll be unable to work on this (or other sims stuff) for the next two weeks, but I'll get back to it.

Would you be willing for me to post this over at the EA forums and see if they can find out what's wrong?

No. It may work with an emulator.
