Hey !

Im trying to convert a TS2 CC cloth to TS4, i used SimPE to export the mesh in .obj file format, but when i wan't to import it to Milkshape 3D (version 1.8.5 BETA 1) nothing is happening, nothing appearing...
I even tried to import with the others format type that SimPE can do, doesn't even work...
Its really weird, because i know the mesh is working, i can open the .obj file with the Windows 3D viewer i can see the mesh..
So i tried to download online a basic model with .obj format and tried to import it aswell, it doesnt work...

Maybe there is settings to do ? my graphic card ? I dunno i tried a lot of things but seems like MS3D doesnt wanna work..

I hope i can post this question in this forum section, sorry if im wrong...

Thanks !

What menu option are you using to import the .obj? Do you get as far as selecting the mesh? Is there an error message? Do you have the paid version of Milkshape? I seem to remember the trial limits import/export, maybe after it expires.

If you upload the .obj I'll try importing it myself

Hey ! Thanks for answering me ! I used File>Import>Wavefront .obj>then the mesh.obj
There is no message of error, nothing on the screen, they look the same as when you start Milkshape.
I have the paid version.

Hm i have the Message Window in Milkshape selected now, everytime i try to import the message i got an error message in this window, i got "ERROR: Error reading"

I can import it fine, no error. The only thing I can think of is that maybe you're using the 'Import Wavefront OBJ (UV only) option instead of the plain Import Wavefront OBJ.

I've attached the imported mesh in an .ms3d.

Hello ! I tried to Import Wavefront OBJ (UV only) too but it didnt work. I got an error message when i want to open the mesh.ms3d aswell...

Well my computer dont like Milkshape i think XD

Maybe try reinstalling Milkshape?

I did this many times, i even tried to install previous versions but it doesnt help...

Did you ever find a fix?! I'm struggling with this even now

I figured it out hehe!! For anyone else who struggled with this (maybe another 5 years in the future!) I just had to create a new blender file and recreate the mesh. Time consuming but it worked

I noticed I can't import or export at all if the folder where I do this is set to "read only". Moving the file to another location helps.

Hello, I have exactly the same problem, I can't import .ms3d files only .obj, I'm working on making the Sedan Carpool drivable by replacing the mesh in the Cloned Yomosoto Evasion which is the most similar (I used Windows 7 Ultimate, Sims 2 Ultimate Collection and Milkshape 1.8.5)

thank you so much, I got trouble with importing and nothing shows in milkshape , I moved to another location and it appears in milkshape now , finally !!! You're life saver! 3 years late hehe
