Awesome! I love these pants, but that waist thing always bugged me a bit. And the untuckables are just great, thanks!

I always wondered if that was something that could be fixed. Those are some of my favorite pants. Thanks!

Thank you so much! I noticed this quite a while ago and just had to cross my fingers and hope that one of you brilliant fixer-uppers would notice it too... hurrah!

I was JUST thinking, the other day, "Goodness, with all the other stupid things that have always bugged me about some piece of Maxis content that have since been fixed, WHY has no one fixed the awful waist on the NL pants yet? They used to be the only decent Maxis pants even though they were b0rked!" And yay, now you have! Awesome sauce!

These are one of the few Maxis meshes I really like, but it was always kind of annoying to have to search for tops that fit the weird waistband. Now you've fixed it! Thank you!!

I absolutely agree with this, nothing to add. Thank you so much. You're a genius .

Thanks for these. But just a question, did you happen to align the UV with the top UV? Because there seems to be some issues. This is the most obvious visual aid I could come up with.

migamoo I know, I should have posted an explanation. I did align the top of the pants UV with the bottom of the shirt UV. However, because of the way the pants are meshed and mapped, I could either make the UV work right but break existing pants recolors, or keep existing pants recolors but with a UV map that squishes part of the texture for tops. It's not obvious on tops that don't have graphics, it is obvious on tops that do have graphics.

Thanks for this - these were always one of my favourite Maxis meshes apart from that darn waist! This is going to make them so much more useful.

Cat, you are a genius! An evil genius, I might add These are fabulous! Maxis made such nice pants but that waist... Is there anything they don't stuff up? :P

Thanks so much for these

Aw, thanks. *huge blush* If I were actually a genius, I would have gotten these to work with graphic shirts too. I am glad folks like the change though, thank you for all your comments (and migamoo for the example picture).

Incorrect bone weights seem to be the one thing I never notice with MAXIS meshes. I only ever spotted it on that one BV teen girl outfit I fixed and that was only as it made a hole in their arms when zoomed out!
Cheers for fixing this!

I really love your pants fix - though I'm hoping that your pants have the Pregnancy bump added to them because I already have a pregnancy add-on which replaces this mesh with the bump - but I like your pants because it fixes the other issues with the mesh.

In the future do you think you will add the pregnancy bump to these?

pregnancy bump That's an excellent idea, actually, Tabatha. I'll do it later, make it match HP's untuckable shirts w/ preg morph.
