This tutorial takes you step-by-step through the process of creating a new table mesh from the original on the left (the '''Sunup Breakfast Table''' named '''TableDiningQuaint''') to the final outcome on the right. I have adapted this based off of

===Why I wrote it:===

Primarily, this is to document my own experiences in the meshing process, with highlighted areas where I had difficulties, how I solved them or where the solutions could be found. With all the threads asking the same questions on the forums over and over again, I thought I<nowiki>'</nowiki>d ''pretty'' it up and contribute and share with the community. Where possible, I<nowiki>'</nowiki>ve included the threadIDs when bits of pertinent information is first referenced, from the Meshing and Modding subforums of Sims 3 Creation and tutorials in Sims2Wiki.

===Disclaimer:===

''Bear in mind the tools are still being developed and evolving, so screenshots may change. I also take no responsibility if installing the utilities listed and modding/meshing resulted in a BFBVFS in your game, messed up your game (because you"ll be testing with adding/removing CC), render your computer unusable, messed up your head when you get nightmares of being chased by squabling dining tables each claiming they are the original and am "The One".''
