At step 20, you should have a list of file types in the Resource tree, among which you should find the GMDC (Geometry Data Container: don't confuse it with the Geometry Node, GMND). If there is no GMDC in your package, then probably you have cloned it uncorrectly; in particular, be sure that the cloning option "Reference original mesh" is NOT selected, when cloning.

PS: if you don't see the Resource Tree at all, then you just have to enlarge the SimPE window.

The mentioned "End table folder" is a folder created by yourself, somewhere on your hard disk, purposely to store the temporary files needed for the tutorial. The only requirement is to create this folder outside the EA Games folder!

I tried this and when I uplode the mesh in SimPE, You can only see one face of the mesh at a time and everything else is invisible. when you turn the camera, the visible face turns invisible, and a different face turns visible. (that sounds counfusing) What am I doing wrong?

You can't As long as you deal with non-animated meshes, then Wings is wonderful (I use it, too); but when it comes to work with joints, and animated meshes (including clothings), then Milkshape is the cheapest solution available, and Wings is no use. Almost
I dislike Milkshape, too, and therefore I use Wings to modify the mesh, and Milkshape just to assign the mesh to the joints; it's probably longer that editing the mesh with Milkshape, but I just don't feel comfortable with it.

It makes no difference. The older versions of Wings used pyramids, while the more recent ones use cubes, but the purpose of those icons is exactly the same.

RiBlan, we'll need a bit more information. Does the GMDC file exist? Or is the problem that it has no data in it? Perhaps you could post a copy of the file you are working on?

In part 2 I can't find the Geometric Data Container. I tried this before(yesterday) and it wasn't there then either. Am I doing something wrong? Everything else is right(I think).

You have to make that folder 'End Table' by yourself. Just right-click on thye desktop, new, folder. Then call it 'End Table'.

If you get a lot of objects ( for example lots of expansion and stuff packs) it will take a while to load the objects. I got that too.

Step #43, too many vertices or faces
When i' ve reached step #43, SimPE gives the following error:
'(...) too many vertices or faces'
I think I can solve this problem by making my objects (a fountain) less smooth, but I don't know how How can I do that or is there any other way to solve this ' problem'?
