I don't think Pants and shoes can be combined. Because both are totally different CAS parts. If you want to combine them. You have to make 2 separate files, 1 pants and 1 shoes.🤔

Hi, Silerna. I don't plan to combine the pants with the boots.
I am not sure if I must combine all the pants meshes or I must leave it to mesh 1, mesh 2, mesh 3 and mesh 4.

Hi, Silerna. I don't plan to combine the pants with the boots. I am not sure if I must combine all the pants meshes or I must leave it to mesh 1, mesh 2, mesh 3 and mesh 4. Did you clone pants with the same amount of mesh groups? If so, then you must keep 4 groups. You must work with the same amount of mesh groups as your cloned one :D. Sometimes it's best to use pants with 1 mesh group, (mostly underwear or nude mesh) and combine all your groups together in one. This is also required when doing your weight transfer, data transfer etc. See this tutorial for more info about that  . |

You have already done this, it is no different from the dress.
- the modified version of the pants you cloned is longer than the original, so you need to clone shorter pants and use them as a reference for how to do things;
- clone ymBottom_PantsSkinnyCalf, export blend, open it in a separate window. Look at cut numbers. The counts starts from the bottom. Close this blend; - open the blend with your custom pants, delete s4studio_mesh_1. Give s4studio_mesh_2 0000, 0001 to s4studio_mesh_3, 0002 to s4studio_mesh_4; - import in ymBottom_PantsSkinnyCalf
After that clone the tallest boots and do the same exact thing with your custom boots |

Thank you Silerna and mauvemorn. I followed you advice. I did also and the weight transfer and uv 1. In sims 4 studio the pants looks ok,  but I still have some problems in CAS:  why the mesh appears like this? The texture looks too shiny and altered. How can I fix this problems? Here is my blender file: files.fm/u/nv8z9xnqv#/view/sa4xetdun and package file: files.fm/u/nv8z9xnqv#/view/aee97x8w4 |

Hello mauvemorn. I made the shadow map again in blender. Here is how it looks in CAS:  And in game:  With boots in game:  I made and the rest of lods. Here is the last blender file files.fm/u/nv8z9xnqv#/view/fyuk67ek2 and package file: files.fm/u/nv8z9xnqv#/view/cdagawu3vPlease tell me if you think that I made something wrong. I already made and the boots mesh :  I want the pants to fit and with these boots (except for the game's shoes and boots) Shall I do something else before I transfer weights, uv 1 and the meshes? Here is the blender file: files.fm/u/nv8z9xnqv#/view/8cx5pfpn7 |

In the pants blend, select s4studio_mesh_2, in edit mode select everything and Mesh - Clean up - Delete loose.
There is no need to re-do anything. Delete s4studio_mesh_1, clone shorter boots, assign different cuts.

Thank you again for the help mauvemorn. I did the weight transfer with shorter boots and normalize the weights, and also the uv_1. I did the cuts like the shorter boots. But in CAS they appeared altered:   Is there a way to make them look like this;  Here is the last blender file: files.fm/u/e8294vzpk#/view/ackt5bqv3 and package file: files.fm/u/e8294vzpk#/view/56sxdhq2y |

Just move the pants down

Or move the boots up? Surely it depends if the boots are causing the issue or the pants.
