  • 8 years ago
Ever wanted to make a Maxis match like clothing? Or just wondering how to fix certain things? Here is your chance! This tutorial can also be used for Marvelous designer meshes and if you used a custom body mesh (Chisimi's body mesh) instead of a sims 3 body.

(This tutorial won't teach you how to mesh with Blender/Milkshape.)
