		+
		+	So I do not require a seperate mesh. But the 'shape' of this dress is not already in the game - I need the mesh file to make it show up:
		+
		+
		+	[[Image:Recolourshape.jpg]]
		+
		+
		+	For this download on MTS2 the creator clearly states that a mesh is needed, and he includes a link to the web page where you can obtain the mesh.
		+
		+
		+	[[Image:Meshlink.jpg]]
		+
		+
		+	If the mesh file is part of the creation, then the link to download that will be next to the recolours:
		+
		+
		+	[[Image:Meshlinkrecolours.jpg]]
		+
		+
		+	On other websites the creator usually specifies if you need a mesh, too:

		+

		+
		+
		+	I do not need a mesh for this Maxis sofa recolour:
		+
		+
		+	[[Image:Nomeshneeded.jpg]]
		+
		+
		+	But I do need a mesh for this sofa, as it is a new object and not just a recolour of something in the game:
		+
		+
		+	[[Image:Needamesh.jpg]]
		+
		+
		+	If I download any recolours of this item, I will always need the base object- the mesh- for it to show up. If you do not have the mesh the object will not appear anywhere in the catalogs.
