I think I need a little help. I'm trying to make a barstool, but when I test it in the game it doesn't move 'in' towards the counter (island). Looks completely silly when sims try to sit on it.

All I did was clone the cheapest Maxis barstool. Import new mesh, assign GUID and import texture map. Didn't touch anything else.

Any help or suggestions will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

ETA: I searched the forum and someone else had a similar problem quite some time ago. However, nobody seemed to have any suggestions how to solve it at the time.

I seem to remember that bar stools have joints, and need to be either imported with the Mesh Tool or Milkshape plugins to retain the animations. You can find tutorials for some objects in the tutorial area by JWoods on using the Mesh Tool. There is no bar stool specific tutorial, but it should be pretty easy to figure out how to apply the steps to another object :).
