I've searched MTS2 for tutorials on making custom clothing and found one, but it uses Milkshape to edit the mesh. I own Maya 2009 and would rather use that.

I successfully exported the obj file from SimPE into Maya, made my edits, exported the obj back out and linked the new mesh into my project as the tutorial said. However, when I loaded it in Body Shop, my edits were there, but the Sim's body was in the "T" pose and, once in the game, didn't animate:

Someone on MTS2 said something about the rigging being reset and missing a "meshtool" step. I'm fairly new to SimPE and Maya, so I've no idea what either of those are. I tried editing it again from the start and got the same result. What step am I missing?

Thanks for replying. :)

I downloaded the MeshTool program, turned the mesh into an SMD file and encountered another problem. Maya 2009 doesn't import SMD files. I've searched for a plug-in that would enable it to do so, but so far I haven't found anything that's worked.
