Start to Finish Object Tutorial For Absolute Beginners - I

Hi. I'm trying to follow the tutorial but when I select the object to clone and press 'next' anything happens. Is there something I'm missing or should I try to install Sims 4 Studio again?

Hi! Thank you for answering. I'm using the latest version (2.7.0.7). After I click Next a message appears saying 'cloning object...'. It spins for a couple of seconds, then it disappears and nothing else happens.

In step 15 it says "Then click b on your keyboard to bring up the box select lines
"  When I click b nothing happens, what am I doing wrong?  Is there a new hotkey or can you give me the menu selections to use.  Thanks

Hi! Okay, so I'm stuck on step 15. "Hold down your left mouse button and drag the lines so they surround the two visible vertices on the left side of the box mesh" - verticles on the left side of the box? Do you mean like this: (English isn't my first language btw)


Also, about step 16: "With your cursor still in the 3D viewport, hold down the scroll wheel on your mouse and slide it a little to the right. This will turn the mesh toward you" - the wheel on my mouse can only slide back and forth, not to the left or right. Is there another way to do this?

Not sure why you couldn't see the image, but nvm, I figured it out

Hi all,

I'm "attempting" to make my first mesh object, but I'm having problems exporting the .blend file from S4S. I am receiving an error message. I don't know if I needed to or not, but I followed another tutorial regarding an ADD-ON in blender (the io_s3py_animation zip file). I was hoping this was the problem and that it would be magically fixed when I tried to export it after I enabled the ADD-ON, but unfortunately, that didn't help.

It's probably something ridiculously simple that I haven't done, but since I'm clueless .... I need help, please!

Here's what the error message pop-up says:

Any ideas or help is most appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Thank you soooo much, OM! I just opened blender and it was not enabled. Then I exported my mesh without any problems! Now, on to reading and learning!
