Hi all! So, thanks to you lot and some youtube videos I've come across, I've finally learned how to mesh! :D Thanks so much, this is really fun (frustrating, but fun)! So, here's one frustrating thing I was not expecting... I finally figured out why, in game, my mesh looks fine up close but then as I zoom out it takes on the shape of the original reference file I used to don it. I changed the LOD's to match up with my mesh on all levels, and it looks fine until I get to the ankles... I even thought, "okay, what I'll do is just copy the LOD 1-3 levels of the bare legs and just insert them into my mesh instead of using the LOD0 legs" to no avail. When I import it again, it still looks like this. I EVEN went so far as to export a mesh, and then re-import it with making NO changes to it, just to see if maybe tweaking it in Blender produced this glitch, and it STILL comes back with the ankles looking off from the rest of the body. Any help would be kindly appreciated!!

hi! if you want your mesh to match each lod perfectly then you should export the base game lods of the original package and create 3 different versions just like you did lod 0. check that the cut numbers and group names match the originals on each case.

Oh wow, that's out of my league it seems :( It's just so weird that even when I exported, and immediately imported into s4s again (without even editing in blender, just re-entering the original file) it still didn't match up at the ankles.
Are there any tutorials that you know of that show how to do this?

Not that i know. You have to export the original EA mesh. Clone the item you used again, and export all meshes. The steps are the same you did for lod 0.
