OK, so I've be working on making two long dress meshes with slits. Because the one I recently used from a pay site turned out to be someone else that doesn't want their meshes shared.
So I started with EA Belted Tank dress. When I opened it in Blender 2.76 there are 2 meshes, one of most of the dress and one with just a square portion of the front of the skirt part. So I join the 2 meshes, append with the EA nude top and join and weld to the skirt of the dress (I deleted the top part of the dress).
Then I created the slit, duplicated and flipped my normal s, separated the skirt section and moved the mesh on the UV layout and rejoined the skirt and top.
Then I appended the EA nude bottoms, renamed and changed the Geom to match that of the original 2nd mesh.
Then I went back to S4S and opened a suitable EA BGC dress a long straight tank dress. Imported my meshes and everything looked perfect.
So went a head and edited the mesh again to make one with a fuller skirt and also imported to the same BGC dress (different package) and it too looked great.
Also B4 I imported the meshes I deleted the normal, spec and shadow and used the tools option to load all the resource stuff (not sure if I need to do that step, but I do).
Then when I loaded them into my game there is a point mesh part shooting into the air and this is coming from that square area of the skirt mesh that was mesh 2 but I joined to mesh 1.
So, I know it's probably something to do with the weights but every-time I look at the tutorial on here I'm lost and a bit overwhelmed to be honest.
So I guess I'm asking for a little hand holding. My S4S is up-to-date, I'm using a PC with Windows 10.

you can see that the clothes map has the color and you have two skin maps. Also there are extra files you don't need in the outliner. You can delete rig.001, rig.002, rig.003 and all the "bone shape" files above the rigs. The assign button will assign the selected diffuse map to whatever you have selected, so that part should be pretty easy. Also your textures are pretty much done so just use the templates to rearrange them. If there's anything crazy flying where it's not supposed to when you test it in CAS, it has to do with weights. I think most of the weights transferred from the other dresses.
