[Part 3 of 3 ] MtF hair conversion guide
General trouble-shooting. More to come when I think of it.
This is a part of a PM I wrote to someone who had the same problem, but I thought I'd paste it here, too. It concerns this...
...when you import a mesh in Milkshape. It basically means the mesh is too big for Unimesh to export all at once, but this is the workaround:
Go into SimPE like usual, select the mesh you wish to export and navigate to this tab, here:

Now, delete about half of all the layers from the top down...

...and note or write down the amount of layers that are left. Hit 'Commit', and extract the mesh. Call it 'part 2' or something (this is quite important for later).

Then close the mesh file, but don't save.
Now, open the file again (everything should look like normal again) and repeat the procedure, but now with the layers that you didn't delete last time. Commit again, extract it again, and call it something like 'part 1'.
So now you have two meshes. Open Milkshape and import 'part 1' first using Unimesh, like usual. You have one half of the mesh in Milkshape now. Then, import 'part 2'. There may be a pop-up about 'results may be unreliable blabla', just click OK. After that it may ask you if you want to include additional bone definitions - answer negatively to that.
If everything went right you now have the mesh in your Milkshape, with the layers in the same order as the original mesh :) (DISCLAIMER: If it's not, I has teh braindead and you need to import the parts the other way around)
Too many P1-sections
