You need something that matches yours the closest in shape. Never transfer anything from nude/pants-like outfit to dress/skirt-like outfit and vice versa. These can be skirt ( for dresses and skirts), foot ( for long pants that cover feet a bit ), toe ( for full-body type of outfits that have shoes ), and any type of facial bones vertex groups.Ħ). Recently people have been encountering a problem of ingame mesh distortion ( like in the linked thread ) which is caused by the fact that the original mesh does not have certain vertex groups that the new mesh has. That being said, you have to ensure that the mesh you're using instead has the same weight (vertex) groups. You don't have to use the same mesh you've started a package from as a source object for weight or/and uv_1 map transfer.

You can Shift-select and combine them into one with Ctrl J to use as a source object when transferring UVs or weights but do not start your package from them, find something else.ĥ). However, sometimes you may come across something that has, like, 12 meshes most of which are just random parts of the body separated into a new mesh.

In most cases, items are split in ways that make sense. Please read this to understand it better.Ĥ). What is being replaced with what is determined by cut numbers. My point is, the blend you're importing should have a corresponding mesh for every mesh of the original one. This happens because both are cut and separated into meshes in the same places and tuned to hide them in certain ways when interacting with each other. For example, in CAS some high boots go 'under' long pants, other 'above'. This, again, ensures they properly interact with each other. Many CAS items are made of more that one mesh (s4studio_mesh_). CAS items are tuned differently to properly interact with each other and just changing an outfit type in Categories tab may not be enough.ģ). If you're making a top, start the package from a top, a full-body outfit from a full-body outfit, etc. If you intend on sharing your package with other people, clone Base game items only.Ģ). So, there are many things you need to keep in mind when cloning an outfit:ġ). In fact, this topic is very important and, in my opinion, never properly covered in start-to-finish tutorials.
