Blender, sim pose

[Trinity Falls]

Well, I'm having a problem. I made a sim pose, I did everything I was supposed to, but then I saw that the rig file I were using, was named afRig, ohmygod, I'm terrible at expressing my self. Well when I use the pose in-game, the sim just stands still, and don't move. Well, what have I done wrong?

[Walden@Equus]

Did you export it to a sims3aimation?

[Trinity Falls]

Yes I did :S

[Equestriad]

did you change the name or leave it as afrig?

[Trinity Falls]

When I exported it, it asked me if I wanted to call it: a_xevt_701.001 if that makes any sense..

[Walden@Equus]

Did you put it in a .package?

[Trinity Falls]

Yes I did, I really don't know what's wrong :S

[Equestriad]

try exporting it as a sims 3 animation using the name like af_TrinityFalls_TestPose2

I'm sorry that I came to your topic, Trinity, but you made that just before I think I'll do :c
I have same problem like Trinity, but little bit different - I use Kaleeko's BlankPoses, I do everything like Pose-topics teach etc, but ... In game, it's same like in Trinity's game.

I hope, that somebody could help us :c

My poses usually works, this is the only one that don't .. "/

[Walden@Equus]

When I was first starting to do poses I followed Kaleeko's pose making tutorial.

1.) Open up the "Blank_Poses.package" file in s3pe (download link in the tools section above).

2.) Once open, find a clip file called: ah_Creator_HorsePoseName (You may need to put a check-mark in the 'Display: Names' box at the bottom of the window to see the names.)

3.) Right click this file, and go down to "Export and rename...", and replace "Creator" with your name and "HorsePoseName" with the name of the pose; for example, "ah_Kaleeko_HorseLove01" (Make sure to keep the 'ah_' prefix.)

4) Back in Blender, open up the horse rig. (The file called ahrig.blend)

5.) Go to File->Import->Sims 3 Animation--find the ah_YourName_PoseNameHere you just made, and double click to open it.

6.) Make all the adjustments you want to the rig in order to make your pose.

7.) Hit "a" until all the joints on the rig turn blue; this means they're selected. Hit "i", then in the menu that pops up, hit "LocRot"

8.) Go to File->Export->Sims 3 Animation, then double-click the "ah_YourName_PoseNameHere" file again to save the pose into that file you made.

9.) Go back into s3pe, go to File->New, then Import->File; Import the ah_YourName_PoseNameHere clip--BUT BEFORE YOU HIT OKAY, make sure "Keep Resource Name" is checked, and change the group name from 0x00000000 to 0x48000000 . Hit okay.

10.) Save the package. (The name of the package does not matter.)

11. ) Move the package into your mods folder.

12.) In game, type in "ah_YourName_PoseNameHere" into the pose player.!

And I used to constantly forget to do step 7 and lock all the joints in place.
This would cause my sim to be in the default rig position in-game and just stand there with their arms out like the default rig.
