I've been taking masculine skirts and repainting the vertex paint so they stop "floating" around the masculine frame. It works like a charm, the skirts actually fit the body as they should, but when my sim walks, there's a lot of tearing:   I have a hard time with the tutorials I've seen, but I wonder if I need to paint the inside of the skirt a different color? I used #007f00 because it gave the best fitting result, but maybe that was not the best move? Any thoughts or input would be appreciated. Thank you for your time! |

Hi. You used a color meant for accessories and hair. There is a color meant specifically for skirts. The inner part should be painted with it as well Vertex paint dictates what variation (skin-tight and robe-like) of deformation maps the painted area will deform according to in CAS during body customization and animation. 00FF00 is for skint-tight areas, 3FFF00 is for any skirt-like area ( skirts, bottom parts of dresses, coats, aprons, etc). Start by choosing 00FF00 and Paint - Set vertex color 1). Disable Limit selection to visible; 2). Holding Ctrl, lasso-select the bottom part of the mesh starting somewhere in the middle of the pelvic bone; 3). Enable sync; 4). Press B and deselect legs; 5). Switch to Vertex paint and enable Face selection masking for painting; 6). Type in 3FFF00; 7). Paint - Set vertex colors; 8). Press A twice to deselect and select everything again, Paint - Smooth vertex colors  If this won’t help, re-transfer weights from a skirt of the same length for feminine frame. If it won’t help, it’s best to give up or you will spend forever trying to manually adjust it |

Thank you, mauvemorn, for your help! I followed the instructions, only now I'm sort of back where I started from with the mesh "floating". The skirts that show up for males in the Studio float out around masculine frames and that is what I was trying to avoid by repainting.  The pencil skirt fits better for some reason with the accessory paint:  vs  I guess at this point I am just out of luck, because any weight transfers would have to come from these items that already don't fit correctly. If you have any further suggestions you think might help, I would appreciate it, and I'm sorry for taking so long to get back to you, I wanted to try the steps and get my results. Thank you again! |

Maybe painting them like on the second picture will help  |
